Scouted: Get the Scoop from the Show’s Image Consultant

Jan 9, 2012 @ 5:35 pm

E!’s new hit show Scouted plucks potential models from obscurity and drops them in New York to see if they have what it takes to sign with an agency. With one week to go until the finale, we caught up with Dani Stahl, Image and Style Consultant in charge of the wardrobe behind the show to get the inside scoop. “These young girls are totally clean slates,” Stahl told us. “They’ve never heard of many mainstream designers and it’s so much fun to see their enthusiasm about fashion.” She finds the models-in-training often gravitate to the same labels celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Nicole Richie and Rihanna love: “Alice and Olivia is just a one-stop go-to that is so accessible and looks so great on so many body types,” Stahl explained. “And Charlotte Ronson looks amazing on young girls and is such an extensive line with such a range of different looks.” See a clip from tonight’s episode above, and watch the full show at 10/9c on E! tonight. Tell us: Will you be tuning in?

Liz Claiborne Changing Name to Fifth & Pacific, FYI

Jan 4, 2012 @ 2:15 pm

Liz Claiborne is getting a new name! After 36 years, the fashion label announced today that it will change its name to Fifth & Pacific, effective this May. “While it’s difficult to replace an iconic name like Liz Claiborne, we believe that Fifth & Pacific Companies telegraphs who we are today—taking inspiration from New York and California, while describing our reach and our potential,” Liz Claiborne Inc. Chief Executive Officer William L. McComb said in a statement. The company sold the namesake brand to J.C. Penney recently, and now runs several global brands, including Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, and Lucky Brand. Goodbye, Liz!

Royal Diamonds to Go On Display!

Jan 4, 2012 @ 1:20 pm

To honor Queen Elizabeth’s 60th year on the throne—her diamond anniversary—the monarchy will open several exhibitions throughout 2012. One of note: “Diamonds: A Jubilee Celebration,” set to open at Buckingham Palace this summer, which will feature the Queen’s vast collection of the anniversary’s signature stone. The exhibition will explore “the many ways in which diamonds have been used by British monarchs over the last 200 years,” the Palace wrote. One showstopper will be a rare 23.6-carat pink diamond by Cartier, set in a brooch with 200 smaller diamonds, which was presented to the Queen in 1953, WWD reports. Talk about bling! The showing opens in August; book your tickets now at rceltickets.com.
