Holt Renfrew interviews Victoria Beckham

Published by

The newly designed Holt Renfrew site now has content. It seems they are going for the Net-a-Porter model but without the online shopping aspect. Overall it’s a big step in the right direction, although there are some aspects of the website that I absolutely detest, that’s for another post.

Holt Renfrew: What was the inspiration behind dVb by Victoria Beckham?
Victoria Beckham: I’ve always collected denim and I could never find a pair of jeans that fit me particularly well. As a woman, you want something that fits relatively tight on the leg but big enough on the waist. [dVb jeans] are incredibly simple and basic: you can wear them with flip-flops or heels.

Perhaps there is a reason you can’t find jeans that fit you Victoria. Read the rest of the interview on holtrenfew.com

I <3 Italian Vogue

Published by

Thanks to Fashionista I just heard about this.

This just in from a source:
Steven Meisel has just shot an entire issue of Vogue Italia with all black models, hoping that other issues of Vogue start to diversify their own portfolios.
Apparently, all of the photo shoots have already happened, as model bookers at various agencies have been contacted and sourced for new, beautiful, not-white girls — and now they’re twittering about how cool the issue will be.
No word on when the issue will hit stands or who’s on the cover (Jourdan Dunn? Chanel Iman?), but whatever:

Steven Meisel you rock my world!

Lauren from Ford emailed me to let me know about the Toronto stop on the cross country Ford Models Supermodel of the World Canada search.

Ford Models Canada will partner with Maybelline, Diesel and Redken, to hold a cross-country scouting search in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and Halifax. Scouts will be looking for fresh faces to compete in the Ford Models Supermodel of the World Canada Search. The winner will move on to compete in the Ford Supermodel of the World competition in January 2009.

Throughout the day, Ford Models partners Maybelline, Diesel and Redken will invite participants and their families to take part in an extra special experience, the Beauty Trends Workshops. Each of the event sponsors will provide demonstrations and preview spring/summer beauty and fashion trends. Redken experts will focus on hair products to help create the latest hairstyles while Maybelline artists will guide people on how to wear and apply this season’s must-have makeup colors and looks. Diesel stylists will be on hand to provide an interactive Diesel denim experience.

You can register for the Toronto event on the Ford Models Event Registration page.
The Toronto event takes place April 26, 2008 from 10 am – 3 pm at Redken Exchange, 20 Richmond St. East, 7th floor.

I’ve embedded this video even though I couldn’t get it to work properly. Hopefully it will work for you.
