The curvaceous star also thanked her social media followers for their support. She said: “I also have the best followers ever thank you for the love and support i see you!!!! (sic)”

Meanwhile, Iskra recently revealed that her desire to be perfect used to make her feel miserable. The blonde beauty took to her Instagram account to post side-by-side pictures of her when she was younger and now, and Iskra insisted that she’s become much happier since she’s accepted her natural body shape.

She wrote on the photo-sharing website: “I used to seek approval from the fashion industry and tried to be “perfect”. I thought if I looked like “her” (an unrealistic beauty ideal), I’d be happy, successful and loved. All I found was failure (because you can’t change who you are) emptiness (because my time and energy was being used up trying to achieve something completely self absorbed and shallow sacrificing doing things I loved) and unhappiness (because no restrictive diet or abusive exercise feels good) (sic)”

Iskra shared her own experience in a bid to encourage women who are recovering from eating disorders. She continued: “I share my experiences with you all because if you are feeling like I did there is another way and those recovering from EDs you’re not alone. The best thing I ever did was focus on looking after myself and being the best me I could be. (sic)”

The late Yves Saint Laurent hailed a ‘wonderful archivist’

OHMYGOSSIP — The late Yves Saint Laurent has been hailed a “wonderful archivist”. The French fashion designer – who set up his eponymous label in 1961 – tragically passed way almost 10 years ago in 2008 and a museum named Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakesh, which will include over 200 pieces of his work from his career, is set to open this week in memory of the star.

And the secretary general of the Foundation Yves Saint Laurent, Quito Fierro, believes the creative mastermind’s work was always meant to be put on display because Yves was great at “preserving” all of his “designs, sketches and samples” throughout his career.

Speaking to the Metro newspaper about the upcoming site, which will open on Thursday (19.10.17) in Rue Yves Saint Lauren in Marrakesh, Quito said: “Saint Laurent was a wonderful archivist, preserving all designs and sketches and samples.”

The late businessman first visited Marrakesh in 1966, and it is believed his time in the Moroccan city “immediately influenced” his creations because of the “local craftsmanship”, the warm colours, as well as the “traditional Moroccan fashion”.

Speaking about Yves’ inspiration, Quito said: “He was immediately influenced by the local fashion, the local craftsmanship, colours and the traditional Moroccan fashion.
“Every collection he did was designed and sketched in his house while he was staying here.”

The museum, as well as the garden surrounding the venue, is not solely based on Morocco but is a medley of both “Moroccan and European spirit”. Speaking about the latest project devoted to the fashion icon, Quito said: “The garden is a mix of Moroccan and European spirit. So really, the museum is an exploration of Morocco and Marrakesh in his work.”

Henry Holland: The brand synergy between House of Holland and Habitat is really similar

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Henry Holland found it “easier” to jump from designing clothes to furniture. The 33-year-old designer joined forces with the interior brand Habitat in November 2015 and the creative mastermind has revealed he didn’t struggle to adapt his ideas to suit textiles and upholstery because the skill set needed are “similar”.

Speaking about his feelings when he expanded his skills and designed his first collection with Habitat, he said: “It was actually easier than you might think. A lot of the work in the interiors was around fabrication and detailing, and those are similar to the techniques we use in the clothing. Also it was about creating textures throughout the collection. All the rugs were hand-made in India and the pile was cut at different heights for a 3D effect. I found it naturally interesting exploring all the different techniques.”

Henry – who launched his fashion label house of Holland in 2008 – is known for his bold and outlandish garments, and the entrepreneur has revealed he has been encouraged to continue creating statement designs and make them even more “extreme” under the furnishings retailer.

He explained to the Metro newspaper: “The brand synergy between House of Holland and Habitat is really similar so we are appealing to the same people. Also, I love the idea of putting our brand DNA in different products so our customers have different things to buy into.

“I think the maximilism trend is something that works well for everyone. This individuality and dressing to express yourselves is a good thing, considering the state of the world. People want to be heard. Habitat isn’t afraid to be bold, so when I came into work on this collection they were pushing me to be even brighter. They just wanted this collection to be that little bit more extreme.”

Cate Blanchett reveals her anti-ageing beauty secrets

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Cate Blanchett believes the SK-II face mist is an immortal primer. The 47-year-old actress has been using the skincare brand’s products for “over 15 years” and has praised their facial spray as being the best product because it moisturises her face, adds an extra glow to her complexion and “seals” her make-up in.

Speaking to Elle UK Online about her beauty essentials, the golden-haired beauty said: “An ageless primer … Well, first I need to give credit to my amazing make-up artist Morag Ross. I’ve worked with her for years, and she’s truly a genius. And I will say that she’s used the SK-II mist to help set my looks, because it’s hydration but not shiny. I can’t stand powder, and feeling dry on my face. This mist, I guess it is sort of an immortal primer, if you want to call it that, because it keeps the glow but also seals my make-up look in.

“I’ve got friends in their 20’s who use anti-aging facial treatments. I’ve been using mine for over 15 years.”

Although the ‘Carol’ star believes everyone is “obsessed” with anti-ageing, she has bucked the trend and has admitted she only wants to look “as good” as she possibly can for her age. She explained: “This is the thing: Everyone gets obsessed with anti-aging but I’d rather look as good as I can at the age I am. And the thing about the facial treatment essence is there’s no other product like it because it’s about clarity, tone, texture, and what I’ve found is it’s given my skin elasticity.”

And the Australian star doesn’t keep her beauty regime a secret from her friends or family and has openly advised her relatives on the best cosmetics to use. She said: “But I do think, also, that there used to be something illicit about a woman’s beauty regimen, where it had to be a ‘secret’, and so sometimes people would snoop because everyone’s products were behind closed doors. And I’m incredibly open about that stuff. All my friends know what I use. They’re already stocked up.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Seacrest is set to launch a lifewear collection this year. The 42-year-old radio presenter has announced he will be expanding his Ryan Seacrest Distinction fashion range to include an Autumn/Winter 2017 sportswear line, which will “coordinate” with the tailored suits section in Macy’s, and it will be available to buy in the American department store in September this year.

Ryan has admitted his designs were inspired by his lifestyle and were created to allow “more freedom and flexibility” in menswear garments. Speaking about his latest venture to WWD Online, he said: “Lifewear is inspired by how I live. Our fall collection is an interpretation of how I actually dress these days. I may wear a blazer over a T-shirt or denim button-down shirt, or a more casual pant with a dress shirt and tie, or jeans with a sport coat with sneakers.

“More freedom and flexibility in their dressing because that’s where our culture is today. Everything needs to go together effortlessly. The RSD collection pieces are easy and comfortable, in addition to be being carefully tailored.

“We look at it as a real business and its success matters to us. I try to have that approach in everything I do, whether it’s the radio show, hosting or fashion. All the ventures are equally important.”

The American television host has been praised as “the definition of a modern man” by the popular retailer, whose “dynamic” and busy work schedule led him to combine “great versatility and fashion” with his creations.

Speaking about the star, Macy’s executive vice president, Karin Darmanin, said: “Ryan Seacrest is the definition of a modern man, building a multimedia empire all while impeccably dressed. His dynamic life inspires the designs behind Ryan Seacrest Distinction. Ryan knows the importance of day-to-night dressing, as he navigates between his morning radio show, daily business meetings and red carpet events. His collection for Macy’s now includes essential pieces designed to coordinate with the suiting, that offer great versatility and fashion for a modern career.”

This news comes a few months after Ryan – who helmed ‘American Idol’ for 14 years from 2002 up until last year – released his debut collection for the brand last summer with an athleisure line to celebrate the Olympic Games, which was held in the Brazilian capital Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Speaking previously about his first drop, he said: “The Rio collection was a limited run, but since then, we brought on Matteo [Gottardi] to really focus on the distinction part of Distinction and why it’s special.”

Joe Jonas’ underwear campaign for Guess is torture for his friends

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP —  The 27-year-old singer has stripped down to a pair of tight white pants for the American fashion label’s Spring/Summer 2017 campaign and his friends can’t stand seeing the dark-haired hunk flaunting his enviably toned physique in skimpy designer boxers on billboards everywhere they go.

Speaking about the reaction from close friends and family to the provocative photoshoot, the DNCE frontman said: “It’s pretty funny. My friends who don’t want to see that … like, my buddy who’s a real estate agent in L.A., his office is right near [the billboard], and he drives by on La Cienega every day. He’s like, ‘Screw you!’ He’s sending me pictures, like, ‘I hate this. Why do I have to look at this?’ I love it. It’s torture for him.”

Although the ‘Cake By The Ocean’ hitmaker’s pals are regularly spotting his commercial, Joe only saw the advert when he was in a Guess store in London, and was so excited when he caught sight of himself he stopped to take a photograph of him beside the campaign.

He said: “I was actually in London. At the store, they have a really big sign that says ‘Joe Jonas for Guess.’ I was like, ‘Woah!’ It’s exciting. I wanted to pose with it.” Although Joe found it strange being on set in his pants, he soon loosened up and was “casually” walking around, although other members found it uncomfortable.

He told PEOPLE: “Everyone knows what they’re walking into. It’s one of those funny things where the moments off-camera are when you’re laughing because you’re walking around casually in your underwear talking to people, grabbing catering and whatnot. I’d find myself talking to a friend, and then he was like, ‘Dude, this is really weird; you’re talking to me, and you’re just in your underwear.’ ‘Oh, yeah, I forgot!’ So I had a great team to help out. The photographer is amazing, and he made it really funny and comfortable.”

Kate Moss: I don’t want a generic model agency, I’m looking for characters

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Moss wants to sign characters to her modelling agency. The 43-year-old supermodel established a company in her own name last year, and wants to take expanding her books “slowly” and anyone she does take on needs to be more than just a pretty face.

She told British Vogue magazine: “We are taking it slowly. I don’t want a generic model agency, I’m looking for characters. Like someone amazing-looking who can also sing and tap dance. I’m obsessed by Bob Fosse and ‘Cabaret’ is a real favourite film of mine. One thing I do know is talent when I see it.”

For those who the catwalk icon does take on, she admits she feels “maternal” towards them and never wants them to feel bad about themselves. The blonde beauty said: “I don’t want a young girl to feel bad if she has to wait around. I was that person with Steven Meisel, even though I was the face of CK at the time. I had to sit around for days. It can be really hard. I’m maternal; I don’t want the girls to feel insecure.”
Fashion designer John Galliano thinks anyone signed by Kate is incredibly lucky because she knows the fashion world inside out.

He said: “Kate is a godsend to any young model she signs. Her understanding of the business is acute. She not only understands every nuance of how to model, but also has an innate understanding of the clothes and can therefore interpret them perfectly for the camera, so it’s an amazing masterclass for anyone, let alone a new model, to be working around Kate.”

And the British beauty knows how hard the life of a young model can be as she was so “lonely” in her early days. Her former agent, Jess Hallett, said: “She was pretty lonely in her first years as a model. When I started to look after her, she was never off a plane and would call me from a phone box before she took off and after she landed. She was travelling around the world alone and it was not easy. After a while, I started to travel everywhere with her. I hope it made it a bit nicer for her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Karlie Kloss has got her ears pierced. The 24-year-old model has taken to social media to show off her new “double piercing”, and the catwalk icon has admitted her latest form of body art is a “big deal” for her.

The blonde beauty shared a clip on her Instagram Story, which lasts on the photo-sharing site for 24 hours, of her walking up to a mirror in the body piercing parlour to show off two earrings that sit close together on her lobe.

Speaking in the footage, she said: “Okay, this just happened. I just got a double piercing – it’s a big deal for me.”

Karlie captioned the post with an ear and red pin emoji, which was emblazoned over the video. And the fashion muse celebrated her new look with the “best root beer float” in the world at American restaurant Fitz’s.
Following the clip of Karlie showcasing her ear piercings she shared a string of videos of her tucking into a packet of crisps and sipping on the alcoholic beverage, which was over flowing with ice cream layered on top.
She captioned the posts: “Stl classic @fitzrootbeer Best root beer float on [earth] (sic).”

Meanwhile Karlie, who first started modelling at the age of 14, never thought she would boast a successful career in the fashion industry, and believes she has had to “grow into” the fashion industry.

Speaking previously, the entrepreneur – who has starred in campaigns for luxury designer labels including Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce and Gabbana and Jean Paul Gaultier – said: “For me, I definitely had to grow into it. First and foremost I had to learn fashion. Fashion wasn’t really a part of my life until I started working in the industry as a model and had my eyes opened to this whole other world of creativity and of designers and business and industry.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Naomi Campbell is impervious to criticism. The 46-year-old model is among the most photographed women in the world, but Naomie has learned to block out negativity over the years and she now feels impervious to criticism.

She shared: “I don’t read commentary online, erase and block, erase and block, they don’t know what you’re going through. I mean if I gained a little weight, if I lost a little weight, that’s something I never really got into. No one could ever say anything to make me feel bad about myself. I think that’s a really sensitive subject to go into, you can hurt someone deeply without knowing it, and you shouldn’t go there, you really shouldn’t.”

Naomi also revealed how she has enjoyed seeing the daughters of some of her former colleagues establish themselves in the fashion industry. The catwalk icon explained to People: “I love seeing the daughters! I think Kaia Gerber is stunning. Cindy (Crawford)’s daughter is absolutely stunning. So is Iman’s daughter, absolutely stunning.”

Meanwhile, Naomi recently denied rumours of a feud between herself and Rihanna. Noami rubbished suggestions that she and the ‘Work’ hitmaker are at loggerheads with one another, after it was reported the catwalk star had unfollowed the singer on social media. Speaking about her friendship with the Bajan beauty, Naomi insisted they have a healthy relationship and are still good pals, despite speculation to the contrary. She shared on ‘Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen’: “Everything’s fine. Of course it’s fine. I’m an actress now, Andy. I don’t have beef.”

Fashion designer Victoria Beckham: My business is my passion

OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria Beckham believes the fashion industry is not a “clock-in clock-out” industry. The 42-year-old fashion designer feels “so lucky” and “so blessed” to be a businesswoman and to have launched her eponymous clothing line, although she has hinted it is relentless being a creative mastermind and designing new creations because she has to work long hours and she regularly has to put in extra work, although she doesn’t mind putting in the hard work because her business is her “passion”.

Speaking about her career in a Facebook Live interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine, which the brunette beauty has shared on her social media page, she said: “For me, I feel so lucky, so blessed, to do what I love. My business is my passion. It’s what I’ve always dreamed of, and I truly believe if you work hard enough and dream big enough there’s no limits to what you can achieve.

“Working in fashion is not a clock-in, clock-out type of industry, and the work and the passion that my team give me is fantastic.”

And the former Spice Girls band member – who was known as Posh in the girl band – has recently released her second cosmetics capsule for the longstanding beauty brand Estée Lauder, and the fashion icon has revealed she has long admired the brand and finds herself having a pinch-me moment when she walks into the office in New York to start working on a new product.

Victoria – who has children Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 14, Cruz, 12, and Harper, five, with her husband David Beckham – explained: “My beauty icon has always been Estée Lauder and everything that she stands for as a strong female entrepreneur and everything she achieves. So it was a dream come true for me to work with Estée Lauder.

“I remember when I was younger, and I used to sit and watch my mum getting dressed up, and she would wear Estée Lauder make-up, and I often have that moment when I have to pinch myself when I walk in to the Estee Lauder offices in New York, [I think] ‘This is incredible, who would have thought?’ I feel what we are doing is … ground-breaking.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen experimented with style

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen used to cut adult clothing down to their size as young girls. The 30-year-old actresses turned fashion designers have always experimented with their clothes and Mary-Kate has revealed they used to design their own outfits growing up.

She shared: “When we were younger, being in the public eye was almost part of our role and responsibility – to set the trends at that time or be ahead of fashion.
“We would take adult clothing and cut it down to our size, change the proportions. I think from a young age we understood fit in a very different way because we’re so petite.”

And Mary-Kate enjoys “switching things up” from time to time as that is the “beauty of clothes”. She added: “We just want to help women feel however they want to feel. Every once in a while, we want to change our perfume or our haircut; we want to wear heels or flats. We just like to switch it up. That’s the beauty of clothes.”
The pair have their own womenswear range called Elizabeth and James amongst other clothing lines too and call it the “new luxury”.

Mary-Kate told Net-a-Porter’s The Edit magazine: “We like to say that Elizabeth and James is the new luxury. It’s the idea that you can still have fashion, great fabrics and great fits at a lower price point …

“We talk about the mother and the daughter, the comfortable and sexy, masculine and feminine. It’s a balance of both.”

Meanwhile, the designing duo previously admitted the whole process has become “more mathematical” in recent years. Mary-Kate said: “It’s important to control the image of your brand, something we have known since we were very young. It’s a lot more work but we’re up for it. Design has become really mathematical in a way, and for us, there’s a freedom that comes from knowing exactly where we want to go from the start.”
