London Catwalk beckons for DMU’s Designers of the upcoming
May 18th, 2010Top fashion names Karen Millen and Anthony Campbell recently united a panel of judges to select De Montfort University (DMU) students to emerge at Graduate Fashion Week next month.
The higher education occasion is held at Earls Court in London from Sunday 6 to Thursday 10 June. And in a bid to succeed their place on the catwalk, last week, third year Fashion Design students showed their work-in-progress final collections, which ranged from men’s leopard print bomber jackets to hand-painted fabric enthused by dragons and tigers.
The 14 students who were picked by the judges are proclaimed today and will now showcase their collections in front of top industry names at the DMU catwalk on Tuesday 8 June.
On 8 June, these students’ designs will show in the University’s fashion brochures, with the images shot by high profile fashion photographer Fabrice Lachant – his photos frequently appear in magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle.
DMU is moreover hosting a catwalk show at Freemasons Hall in Covent Garden, London, to showcase Contour and Contour Fashion students’ collections on Tuesday 14 June.

Isabella Blow’s group of McQueens, Treacys and Blahniks are going to auction
May 17th, 2010The auction of a lifetime is imminent to Christie’s London this September.
Isabella Blow’s clothing collection of over 90, yes 90, Alexander McQueen pieces, 60 Philip Treacy hats, and a variety of Manolo Blahnik shoes is going up for sale.
We can’t even envision spectacle of watching Isabella’s legendary wardrobe auctioned off or the high prices it’s sure to command.
We’d bet that Daphne Guinness will be one of the foremost buyers at this auction, as her love of McQueen and unconventional style make her the ideal inheritor of Isabella’s clothes.
Yet while the auction is a great way to remember the talent and innovation of Isabella and Lee McQueen, we’d much rather have them still creating than be selling off their treasures postmortem.

Forbes Highest Paid Model List
May 15th, 2010Ever since Gisele told she didn’t actually make $35 million, as Forbes reported in their 2008 list of top-earning models, we’ve stopped viewing their salary estimations as God-given fact.
They just released this year’s richest models list, and it’s the same people in the same order as last year’s list, only four models had slight salary variations from last year. And the top ten in last year’s list was nearly the same to the top ten in the previous year’s list.
So we’ll copy and paste last year’s list into this post and make those four slight salary adjustments for you, but reading it is about as thrilling as watching a rerun of The Real Housewives of New York.
New list:
1. Gisele Bündchen- $25 million 2. Heidi Klum – $16 million 3. Kate Moss – $9 million- 4. Adriana Lima – $7.5 million 5. Doutzen Kroes – $6 million 6. Alessandra Ambrosio – $5.5 million 7. Natalia Vodianova – $5.5 million 8. Daria Werbowy – $4.5 Million 9. Miranda Kerr – $4 million 10. Carolyn Murphy – $3.5 million
Last year’s list:
1. Gisele Bündchen – $25 million 2. Heidi Klum – $16 million 3. Kate Moss – $8.5 million 4. Adriana Lima – $8 million 5. Doutzen Kroes – $6 million 6. Alessandra Ambrosio – $6 million 7. Natalia Vodianova – $5.5 million 8. Daria Werbowy – $4.5 million 9. Miranda Kerr – $3 million 10. Carolyn Murphy – $3 million 11. Emanuela de Paula – $2.5 million
