OHMYGOSSIP — Stella McCartney has designed a limited edition of T-shirts to support The Girl Project.
The 46-year-old fashion designer has joined forces with Glamour magazine to create a range of exclusive garments to support the campaign, which aims to support girls’ education across the globe.
And the creative mastermind has revealed she wanted to make the garment because she wanted to help “empower women”.
Alongside an image of the businesswoman – who is the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney – wearing one of her designs, which she posted on her Instagram account, it read: ” WOMEN, POWER, LOVE! We’ve designed a special t-shirt for the new November #PoweredByWomen issue of @GlamourMag to encourage women to feel empowered, speak out, and love themselves.
With this t-shirt, we support #TheGirlProject – Glamour’s philanthropic initiative to support girls’ education. (sic).”
And Stella has revealed she wanted her range of T-shirts to “make a statement” that addresses the “rippling effects” around the world.
A statement read: “I wanted to design a T-shirt that empowers women and encourages them to look inside and to love themselves and others. I also wanted to make a statement that speaks to the rippling effects of what’s happening around the world. It’s time to speak out, woman to woman.”
Stella’s T-shirt will feature on all 17 editions of Glamour magazine on the November issue.
The mogul, who launched her eponymous fashion house in 2001, was told she wouldn’t have a successful brand, but the mogul ignored the advice and took on the challenge.
Speaking previously about the hurdles faced in her career, she said: “I was told many years ago that I wouldn’t have a business in accessories.
“I take it as a good challenge. If you can find that aesthetic in design and construct [the bags] in a way that’s mindful, responsible and conscious, then magic happens. Many conventional fashion houses kill animals for leather bags, but they still don’t have that success in design.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Graham’s denim collection with Marina Rinaldi was inspired by her “own wardrobe”.
The 29-year-old model has teamed up with the plus-size Italian fashion house on a range and the star has revealed items in the collection are based on “staple pieces” she owns, such as body-con dresses, pencil skirts, and tailored jackets, which they made in the denim fabric.
Speaking about her latest venture to E! News, the brunette beauty said: “I’ve been working with Marina Rinaldi for a few years and have always appreciated their mission to design quality and fashionable clothing for curvy women who are often ignored in the luxury space. I was excited when they approached me to design a capsule collection because I would be able to put my own spin on denim trends. We took staple pieces from my own wardrobe like body-con dresses, pencil skirts and structured jackets and made them in denim.”
But the catwalk icon has revealed her “hourglass figure” makes it difficult for her to find a pair of jeans that fit her perfectly, which is why she has refused to throw out a pair of black jeans with “huge holes”.
She explained: “The fit has to be perfect. I have an hourglass figure, so sometimes jeans fit my thighs and hips, but are too large in the waist, which is why stretch denim is my go-to. I also look for good coloring that won’t fade or wash out over time.
“[Ashley’s oldest pair of jeans] they are black with huge holes in the knees. The waist fits me so perfectly that I can’t give them up.”
But if Ashley decides to throw out items in her wardrobe she will make sure they go to a good cause and not straight in the bin.
She said: “I either give them to my family or donate to my local Salvation Army.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sylvia Hoeks didn’t feel like a model “in [her] heart”.
The 34-year-old actress was signed to Elite models agency when she was younger, but the star has admitted she never felt like she truly “belonged” in the fashion industry.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper about her career, the blonde beauty said: “I was not really a model in my heart … like I didn’t really belong.
“My first job was to be the cover of Elle Girl and I hated the photo because they made me smile big, like a happy frog!”
And the ‘The Girl and Death’ star has admitted when she was in the French capital on a job she had a severe case of homesickness because she felt so out of her comfort zone.
She added: “I would be in Paris and would feel homesick.”
Sylvia plays the role of Luv in ‘Blade Runner 2049’, and the star has admitted when she was first introduced to the movie franchise as a child she considered it to be “very high fashion”.
Speaking about the original movie, she said: “I was only nine or ten when my parents showed my sisters and me the first Blade Runner. I was so overwhelmed, I couldn’t sleep that night. My breath just stuck in my throat. I couldn’t analyse it: the music, the rain, the darkness that room with the dolls and Daryl Hannah as Pris: I thought the style was very high fashion.”
Sylvia has revealed she was forced to undergo a gruelling fitness regime prior to starring in the American neo-noir science fiction film, which she appears in alongside Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling, as she was forced to train with triathlete Lesley Paterson ahead of filming.
Speaking about her workout sessions and preparation for the production, she said: “She [Lesley] is this muscular little Scottish lady with a fierce attitude. The worst was cardio. It was insane. After two and a half hours you have to go on the bike and do HIIT training. My brain was screaming: ‘ I can’t do it any more!’ But I meet my character in that pain.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miranda Kerr says plucking her eyebrows helped her to concentrate at school.
The 34-year-old model has admitted when she was younger she was constantly told to stop taming her facial feature and focus on the Business lesson she was in, but the star refused because she said carrying out the beauty treatment helped her absorb the information.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the Australian beauty said: “I remember I used to sit in the business class at school and my teacher would be like, ‘Miranda, put those tweezers away!’ I’d be sitting there like, ‘It helps me concentrate.'”
Miranda set up her cosmetics brand KORA Organics in 2009, and has since expanded her line over the past few years because she wants her label to be recognised as a “household name”.
Speaking about her company, she said: “It was a big risk, but I decided that I just had to do it. I want Kora Organics to be a household name.
“All the products are filtered through rose quartz, which has been used for years to really help encourage love of yourself and love of others. When you’re using the products you get a little bit of that magic.”
Miranda – who married Evan Spiegel earlier this year – has revealed her new 15-piece collection has “positive words” emblazoned on the product to “uplift” her customer.
She said: “On the back of our products we have a positive word like ‘peace’, ‘love’ or ‘joy,’ which is hopefully uplifting to the user when they’re interacting with the product.
“There have been so many times in my life – everyday, actually – where I make the conscious choice to choose my thoughts and that they changes my reality.”
Meanwhile, Miranda has revealed she has a variety of meditation routines on her phone to help her relax.
She explained: “I have so many different meditations on my phone, but sometimes I’ll just search YouTube and find a little gem. Other times I find horrible meditations and I’m like, ‘Okay, next’. But choosing to take that time for yourself can really help.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bella Hadid owns over 200 pairs of trainers.
The 20-year-old model has admitted she has always been “obsessed” with shoes and she has built up an extensive collection of Nike footwear over the years, although she has had to give her mother, Yolanda Hadid, some of her Kanye West’s Yeezys, much to her disappointment.
Speaking in a video shared on Complex.com, the brunette beauty – who partnered with the sportswear giant last year – said: “I have always been obsessed with Nike my whole life. I never actually thought I would work with Nike.
“I really only have Nike’s in my closet, and there’s about 200 of those.
“My mom took those and I got really mad at her. I was like, those are some collectors’ s**t, you know?’
“When I moved to New York I signed with Nike, and I only wore Nike.”
The catwalk icon has revealed she has always been a fan of the brand ever since she was growing up and would wear trainers to school to “express” herself.
She said: “It’s funny Air force Ones growing up they were like my favourite things on the planet. I had every single colour customised because I always love paying for things myself. I couldn’t find Jordans, and they were always really expensive. I went to a private school for a year, and I had my uniform with my Air Force Ones and that’s kind of how I rolled. The sneakers were the statement piece because that’s how I could express myself.
“I’ve always been to Vans, high tops and low tops. Growing up it was always Vans, and Doc Martens, and low tops and Air Force Ones, and that was all I wore, and Converse.
“I love my shoes. I think sneakers are number one in fashion, if you have sicker sneakers it can either make or break your look, but everybody works really hard to make the best sneaker and I think that is what’s so cool about fashion. Basketball, rappers, models, everyone comes together to make the sickest shoes they possibly can.
“It is all about personality.”
Bella thinks the “hottest thing” anyone can wear is a pair of sleek shoes, and it is the “first thing” she takes note of when she sets her sights on a man.
The fashion muse – who previously dated The Weeknd – said: “For me, I feel like girls look so sexy in tennis shoes, I think it’s the dopest thing you could wear with a dress, or whatever you wanted, I think it’s the hottest thing a girl could wear.
“And sneakers on a man is definitely the first thing I look at. If you’re going to have a dope shoe that both guys and girls can wear – matching shoes that’s dope.”

OHMYGOSSIP — David Beckham’s inspiration for his new fragrance Respect was to be “elegant but not overpowering”.
The 42-year-old former England football captain has released a variety of fragrances throughout his career, but the sporting ace has revealed “a number of things” influenced his latest cosmetic item as he wanted the product to be “fresh”, “new”, and in keeping with the same “style” of his other products.
Speaking about his latest venture in an Instagram Story shared on Boots photo-sharing site, he said: “I think the biggest inspiration is a number of things, obviously we have had this relationship in fragrance for over 10 years, so to keep coming up with something that is fresh, that is new, and to the style that we always go for, which is elegant, and not overpowering, is part of everything.”
And David – who has sons Brooklyn, 18, Romeo, 15, Cruz, 12, and six-year-old daughter Harper with his wife Victoria Beckham – says the title of the scent plays a “big part” in the product.
He said: “And obviously the name is such a big part of this.”
Meanwhile, David has admitted he didn’t have a style icon when he was younger and it is only as he has matured he has looked up to the late Steve McQueen’s fashion sense.
When asked about his fashion muse, he said: “The person I have always looked to, maybe not when I was younger because when I was younger I didn’t have someone I looked up on that side of things, but later on I would have to say someone like Steve McQueen for his fashion sense, for the way he looks, for his hair style, everything about him was cool. So, for me, he looked great in a suit, he looked great in a t-shirt, jeans, riding a bike.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Christian Louboutin’s first footwear designs were made for “showgirls”.
The 54-year-old fashion designer, who opened a footwear store in Paris in 1991, has revealed female performers were the original inspiration for the first pair of stiletto shoes he designs, and has hailed the dancers as the “driving forces” behind his line.
Speaking to The New York Times newspaper, the creative mastermind said: “In a way, it comes back to some of my origins. The first shoes I ever designed were for showgirls, people on stage. Showgirls have a kind of attitude – they’re driving forces.”
The businessman and his signature red bottom heels are a hit among a lot of celebrities, including singer Cardi B who addresses Christian’s creations in her track ‘Bodak Yellow’.
However, Christian doesn’t know “much” about the rapper – whose full name is Belcalis Almanzar – because he is not a “big rap” fan.
Speaking about his knowledge of the star, he said: “She has the hair like that? She’s a rapper? This ‘Yellow’ song. I don’t know much more than that, to be honest. [I’m] not a big rap person.”
Although Christian may not know a lot about the 24-year-old artist, she is a huge fan of him and his work as she owns almost 100 pairs of his shoes.
Speaking previously about Cardi B’s collection, her stylist Kollin Carter said: “She has to have over 90 pairs. She usually buys a pair or two every couple of weeks. Before ‘Bodak’ blew up, she wore red bottoms because that’s what it means to make it in the Bronx. It’s a status symbol that the masses can relate to; everyday girls work hard and save up their money to have that shoe. Cardi did the same.”

And the brunette beauty has revealed she is also “not a big fan” of yoga because she likes to “going somewhere” when she is exercising.
She continues: “I’m also not a big fan of yoga. I need things to be going somewhere. I feel like a child: ‘What are we doing? When are we getting there?'”
And Samira has likened herself to her mother because of her strong work ethic, as the ‘Nerve’ star will happily take on more projects because she doesn’t know how to “slow down”.
She said: “Whenever I’m talking to my agent, he’s always asking: ‘ Is that going to be too much?’ And my answer is always, ‘No,I can do it’. My mum is 67, and she’s just got her second PhD and is someone who will never stop. I get that from her. i just don’t know how to slow down.”
Although Samira boasts a hectic schedule, her partner tries to teach her to “pause”.
Speaking about her 35-year-old spouse, she said: “She’s always trying to teach me how to celebrate, which I didn’t know I didn’t have. I barrelled through life’s big moments. When I got an Emmy nomination, there was never a point where I said, ‘Let’s pause, have a meal.’ She helps me pause.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cindy Crawford refused to walk alongside daughter Kaia Gerber during the Versace’s Spring/Summer 2018 fashion show.
The 51-year-old supermodel returned to the runway last month to star in Donatella Versace’s showcase, but when the star’s 16-year-old child asked if the pair would grace the catwalk together, Cindy snubbed her in favour of reuniting with models of her own age and the stars she worked with during the peak of her career, such as Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen and Carla Bruni .
Speaking about the event, the brunette beauty said: “I was booked before Kaia – I don’t think Donatella [Versace] even knew that Kaia was doing shows and we had been talking for months about how many of us could get there for that tribute to [her brother] Gianni.
“When Kaia got the part she said, ‘Wait, are we going out together?’ I said, ‘I hope not, I don’t want to stand next to you, I want to stand with the women my age.'”
Although mother and daughter did not grace the platform side by side, Cindy was honoured to walk in the same show as Kaia, which she doesn’t think will happen again.
She added: “It was pretty cool, that probably won’t happen again, to be in the same show.'”
The fashion icon – who also has son Presley Gerber with her husband Rande Gerber – has revealed she gave Kaia tips on modelling and advised her not to opt for the “vacant stare and robotic walk” that she has noticed models doing.
She told The Telegraph Online: “I told her I’m personally not a fan of the vacant stare and robotic walk – that was not how the models of my generation walked. I said I understand that some designers will tell you ‘don’t have an expression,’ but my advice is that I think people love seeing personality.”

She explained: “It depends because usually I am up at 5am going to ‘Modern Family’, so by 6 or 6.30am I am in full make-up, dressed like Gloria, so that’s different than my regular day when I do a little bit of foundation, tinted moisturiser.”

“I am a 32F I don’t wear a bra with like wire or anything because it’s uncomfortable. But I think sleeping it depends, because in the summer is different to the winter, and when you are alone it is different to when your husband is at home.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Zendaya thinks fashion has boosted her confidence.
The 21-year-old actress has admitted when she was younger “nine times out of 10” she would shop in the boys section of a store, and the star believes she was “lucky” enough to have parents who gave her free reign over her wardrobe choices as it has helped her to feel empowered.
Speaking to Glamour magazine about her style evolution, the brunette beauty said: “I was lucky to have parents who let me wear what I wanted to wear and let me shop where I wanted to shop. Nine times out of 10 I was shopping in the boys section. I wore cargo shorts and hoodies. That was my uniform

There’s something to be said for the fact that literally everybody can hate my outfit, but if I feel good in it, I’m the only one that should matter.”
Zendaya announced she was launching her clothing range Daya By Zendaya in 2015, and the fashion muse decided to make her label gender neutral because she doesn’t think it is “fair” for a man or woman to only have a limited selection of garments to choose from, and she hopes the concept will become the “future of fashion”.
Speaking about the inspiration behind her brand, she said: “That’s the future of fashion, right?. And it’s different being a girl. We can wear guys’ clothes, but the second a guy wears girls’ clothes, it’s like– That’s not fair. I think, for me, it’s all about the experience of a shopper. For example, my sister is a thicker woman. She just had a baby; she’s got hips, a booty popping in these streets. Why should she have to go to a different section to get clothes?”
