Anne Hathaway Does British GQ
02/09/2010 – 12:52 pm | No Comment

Anne Hathaway loves stripping down and we can’t blame her, she is gorgeous! The actress landed the cover of British GQ’s latest issue and people are going bananas over it. Rumor has it, her armpit has been photoshopped away in the cover. Armpits suck anyways, who needs them?

Quote Du Jour: Leona Lewis on Fur
02/09/2010 – 12:37 pm | No Comment
20TH CENTURY FOX PREMIERES AVATAR

“I think animals are treated very poorly. When I see people wearing fur it makes me so sick. Especially when I see young singers doing it – that sickens me. When I rocked up to my first photo shoot they had feathers and fur there and everything I despise. I had to make it so clear that I just do not go there.

-The no fur, suede, or leather-wearing singer reveals.

Looks like she needs to talk some sense into Kanye West.

Madonna Does Le Photoshop Like Nobody’s Biz in Louis Vuitton Ads
02/09/2010 – 12:18 pm | No Comment


Looks like Madonna, the diva, the icon, as magical and amazing as she is, needs some help from Photoshop like everyone else. We have to say, the retouchers did a pretty amazing job. This ad, from LV’s Fall 2009 collection made me want to go ape on a Louis Vuitton shopping spree and drop imaginary money. Whatever, retouched or not, Madonna looks better than most women her age, she is le shit and not to mention, way cooler than Demi Moore. Get it Madge!

Becks & Snoop Make Cameo in Adidas/Star Wars Commercial [Photos of Collection]
02/09/2010 – 12:02 pm | No Comment

Totally have to admit, I am not a Star Wars fan by any means but this commercial made me want to be one. It is honestly pretty dope, especially the swagerific, westcoast remix to the Star Wars song. Fierce! It also looks like David Beckham and Snoop Dogg have maintained a good friendship since their lunch at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles. Are you looking forward to this Adidas collaboration? It’s a far stretch from Stella McCartney, but it looks cool.

Burberry Runway: Spring/Summer 2010 - London Fashion Week

The British fashion house announced they will be streaming their February 23rd show in 3D to industry people in Paris, Tokyo, Dubai and New York in 3D. Los Angeles insiders will be able to watch the show a few hours later than the broadcast because of the time difference.

Burberry’s chief creative officer, Christopher Bailey tells WWD, ‘We are very excited to announce that we are hosting the first ever truly global fashion show… 3D technology will bring our global audience into the London show space allowing them to see the colours and fabrics, to hear the music and to be a part of that moment when it all finally comes together.’

Fashion editors and VIP guests will be given 3D glasses to watch the show in special ‘customized screening spaces’ created by Bailey himself.

The rest of us can catch the show live on Burberry’s site in 2D. Hmm, we wonder if Anna Wintour will be rocking some dorky 3D glasses.

The Cinema Society Special Screening Of "The Young Victoria"

Designer Rachel Roy has partnered with Estelle, the Grammy award winning singer and songwriter, to create a capsule jewelry collection exclusively for the Rachel Rachel Roy brand. The limited edition jewelry collection, which will be co-designed by Rachel Roy and Estelle, will include necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and rings.

“Working with Estelle was a true collaboration. I love Estelle’s sense of style because she takes risks and I think that to be a trendsetter you have to take as many risks as safe turns,” said Rachel Roy. The collaboration with Estelle is only the first of many more to come for the Rachel Rachel Roy brand. There will be a series of limited edition capsule collections to follow which will merge fashion with culture, art, music, photography, and philanthropy.

Anyone who is a Rachel Roy Facebook fan will be able to shop an edited version of the collection first before the full release. There will also be an exclusive ring available to Facebook fans only that will not be featured in the full collection. The pop-up Facebook store will begin 6am EST on February 9th and will end 6pm EST on February 11th.

The full collection sales will begin March 2010, with prices ranging from $34 to $195. Macy’s, www.macys.com, and www.rachelroy.com are the only places the collection will be available. Check out the images of her new collection below!

Rachel Roy Creates Jobs for Women in Africa
02/05/2010 – 3:45 pm | No Comment

Designer Rachel Roy has collaborated with Fairwinds Trading in an effort to create jobs for women in Africa. Items that are handcrafted by female-owned businesses in Africa will be integrated into select seasonal Rachel Rachel Roy collections for Spring 2010.

“My goal as a working woman and mother is to support women’s independence through employment. For the women who benefit from the Fairwinds Trading partnership, the opportunity to work is an important source of self-respect and financial freedom. I support this important organization and its ongoing collaboration with Macy’s made it a perfect fit for the Rachel Rachel Roy brand. The vast network of African artisans that Fairwinds has brought together is immensely talented and I am excited to be able to incorporate their artwork into my collection,” said Rachel Roy who is the founder and artistic director of the brand.

Among the items that will be featured are a bracelet and earrings handmade in Rwanda. Shredded woven paper was used to create the bracelet and both the bracelet and earrings feature beads constructed from a unique paper layering process.

At TD we’re always excited to learn about such creative and unique efforts to help women in all parts of the world earn a living. The Rachel Rachel Roy Fairwinds collaboration will be available at rachelroy.com and select Macy’s stores and macys.com.

Our favorite, Snooki, Snookers, Snickers, whatever you want to call her, got a make-under thanks to the folks at Inside Edition.

I have to say, she looks super cute in that Marchesa gown with the body wave in her hair despite the fact that she insists on flashing her goodies in true Jersey Shore fashion. Snooks even did her signature “wahhh” cry as the hairstylist removed her poof. Ahh, doesn’t Snooki remind you of a Nano Pet that you play with? Or like a little Furby?

Adore It or Detest It: Louis Vuitton $1,960 “Trash” Bags
02/05/2010 – 12:33 pm | No Comment

The Louis Vuitton ‘Raindrop Besace’ bag is the next exclusive ‘it bag’ the fashion house has released. These bags, which are obviously inspired by Glad Garbage Bags retail for $1960.  Marc Jacobs, LV’s designer, previously stated, “There’s this huge cult following of almost crazy people at Vuitton who just want whatever they buy to be exclusive.”

True that. These wouldn’t look so trashy if they we’re made out of canvas or leather. Then we could actually grasp the price point of nearly two freaking g’s.  Maybe Angelina from the Jersey Shore will want to get one. We all know how much she loves toting her stuff in black garbage bags. What do you think?

Men, Got a Beer Pudge You Want to Hide? Introducing: Spanx For Men
02/05/2010 – 12:11 pm | No Comment

From slimming down Jessica Alba during her pregnancy to being Tyra Banks‘ infamous must-have, Spanx has been a Hollywood staple for the past 10 years. Ever since the creation of the body shaping undergarments, women everywhere wouldn’t be caught dead in a dress without them.

Well, now men have the chance to give their body’s a more pleasant form after the launch of Spanx Undershirts. Most guys aren’t cut up like The Situation so Spanx for men is definitely a quick fix for the male who faces a slight moob and beer belly problem.

The undergarments officially launch at Neiman Marcus on March 15th, but are available for pre order on their website. The tops that “firm the chest, flatten the stomach, improve posture and support the lower back” are available in black and white and range from $55-$58 dollars. What do you guys think? Would you sport men’s Spanx? Hell, who am I kidding, it’s not like you would actually say so if you did.
