Vogue Paris Website Now in English

Yesterday, the new Vogue Paris website launched with one very exciting update: you can now read it in English! We’ve always loved perusing the site, if only to look at the images and try to string together bits and pieces of stories using our limited vocabulary from High School French – so we are beyond thrilled that we can now view the site en anglais. The front page of Vogue.fr features a young Kate Moss wearing a Union Jack dress, welcoming Paris Vogue‘s British audience and not necessarily us Americans – but we’re not complaining.

The site features runway images, a Look of the Day section, the Culture page, and more, giving us English speakers a glimpse of the wonderful world of Parisian fashion. Head over to En.Vogue.fr today and check it out!

The 2011 British Fashion Awards

British Style Award Winner Alexa Chung

This evening in London, Britain’s most fashionable ladies and lads descended upon the Savoy Theatre for the 2011 British Fashion Awards. The room was full of beautiful people and even more beautiful clothes, among them Marc Jacobs, Kate Hudson, Stella McCartney, Alexa Chung, Caroline Sieber and Kate Moss.

Winners for the evening included Alexa Chung, who was honored with the British Style Award, which was given based on a public vote. Stella McCartney was presented with the award for her ravishing designs on the Red Carpet by close friend Kate Hudson, who joked about the first time she wore Stella’s designs on the red carpet and was put on every worst dressed list – but just that one time! Stella recently released plans to hold a fashion show during London Fashion Week this Spring. The show will debut a limited edition collection which will be available in the designer’s retail stores and on her website. She will still be showing her Winter 2012 Collection during her usual slot at Paris Fashion Week.

The biggest winner of the evening was Sarah Burton, who was bestowed with the Designer of the Year award. It has been quite a year for the designer, who, besides designing two stunning collections, also designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress and oversaw the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Savage Beauty Exhibition, celebrating the work of Alexander McQueen. “This feels like the icing on the cake on a really amazing year,” the designer said as she accepted her award.

Congratulations to all of the winners! Follow the jump for the complete list and photos! Read more…

Age Ain’t Nothin’ But a Number for Models Over 35

90s_models_hotcool

Remember the ’90s Golden Age of Models? When women like Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz and Naomi Campbell ruled the runway? What about other models like Eva Herzigova, Yasmin Le Bon, and Iman? We’ll also throw Kate Moss‘s name into the mix.

Well, they all fall in the age category of “35 and older” (yes, Kate is in this category — she’s 37) and they have yet to age out of the biz — in fact they are still makin’ it hot, if not hotter than the new garde of modeling tweens and twentysomethings.

In a recent post on Huffington Post, they sifted through glossies and found some models who have still maintained their swagger as models including women like Lauren Hutton and Kristen McMenamy.

Despite what people might say, age isn’t (and shouldn’t be) a factor when it comes to modeling — just remember to maintain your hotness.

The World According to Harry: The Curious Case of The Backwards Trends

Kate Moss unveiled her 12th collection for Topshop in London. I went through all seventy nine images (yes, SEVENTY NINE) and they’re not bad — and I love all the lace.

What more interesting was the way Kate wore a top that she designed for Topshop. It reminded me of when I was little because I, like her, used to put on a T shirt only to realize later that it was backwards.

Wearing clothes backwards is kind of uncomfortable, no? Read more…
