Jason Wu to Launch Lancome Collection: In Stores This Fall

Feb 1, 2013 @ 4:37 pm

Following in the footsteps of Alber Ebaz and Chris Benz, Jason Wu is teaming up with Lancôme to create a line of beauty products. ”What was so intriguing about partnering with Lancôme, beyond the quality and luxury of their products, is the notion that the brand doesn’t impose a model of beauty but rather invites women to embrace themselves,” Wu said in a statement. And the designer, who recently dressed First Lady Michelle Obama for the Presidential Inauguration, understands this beauty philosophy well. “This is the embodiment of a truly sexy, modern and confident woman,” he continued. “Much like the women I design for.” The beauty line will arrive in stores in September.

Channing Tatum in Dolce & Gabbana: Modeling to Red Carpet

Feb 1, 2013 @ 4:16 pm

Way back in 2004, before he was a magical creature named Mike, Channing Tatum was a rising star model, starring in fashion campaigns for big brands like Dolce & Gabbana. Back then, he rocked little more than his trademark chiseled abs and cheekbones—but today, things have changed. At last night’s New York Side Effects premiere, the star strolled in (to throngs of screaming girls, no less) wearing a handsomely fitted suit by the Italian label. How his relationship with D&G has matured!

Sisters who shop together make for a stylish pair! Proof: Rooney and Kate Mara, who both looked gorgeous at last night’s Side Effects premiere in their monochrome frocks (Rooney’s McQueen was our “Look of the Day” pick) and Nicholas Kirkwood heels. Both Mara ladies chose a style from the pre-spring 2013 collection of British designer’s award-winning brand—he just picked up the grand prize from the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Fund.

We hope they share with each other!
