NEWS OF THE WEEK?

In an online interview with WWD this week Kate Moss said that one of her mottos were: "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels," which caused an outrage. She is now accused for causing anorexia and giving fuel to those who participate in a pro-ana lifestyle.


I can totally see where those who are slamming here are coming from, but who is really surprised? Is it something new that the fashion world embrace skinny? A new emphasis was put on this subject when Eliana and Luisel, the two model sisters that starved themself to death in the time frame of six months. Because of this Spain among others has banned models with a BMI under 18.

But is it the right thing to do, to blame one industry (fashion industry) for causing eating disorders? Is it all about food and fitting into the clothes? Does everyone in the world who is under the spell of an eating disorder want to look like Kate Moss?

LA MEILLEURE FILLE

I love this woman. Reminds me that I need to take that French class this very year.

CURATING FOR YOUR INTEREST

Tomorrow, Wednesday 2 September, two icons from the fashion world will fight about your attention.

Kate Moss will release her a/w 09 collection for Topshop and Lara Stone will be Not Just A Label´s online shop curator of September, selecting and presenting pieces from NJAL´s exciting designers.


Not Just A label is a leading global business directory for showcasing avant-garde fashion designers of today and nurture tomorrow´s fashion.

They matches demand and supply individuality, creativity, diversity and talent by providing a free tool which makes it available for up and coming designers to showcase and present themselves among their collections. This is a unique way for the industry participants and fashionistas to get an idea of what tomorrow´s fashion will be like, in many cases the collections that been showcased online have led to recruitment.

This year NJAL´s THE SHOP will have a bigger a/ w collection than normal. For the first time designers will be able to sell directly to customers. The lookbooks will turn into individual online stores which makes it possible to sell to customers from five continents. That´s what I call nurturing!!!

And this is where Lara Stone , Dutch model, famous for her gapped teeth, voluptuous figure and large lips, recently named "the most wanted face" by W magazine plays her part. She will be THE SHOP´s curator and her selection, chosen from the hundreds of lookbooks, will be available tomorrow.



May the best man win!

Editorial from Vmagazine #61, do I need to add that this is the most amazing beautiful stunning editorial I´ve seen in ages. Think the denim job in Vogue with Anna Selezneva was the last time I was starstruck.
