Kristen McMenamy's 18 Year-Old Daughter Might Have A Saint Laurent Paris Exclusive

Naomi Mdudu — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:00:00 BST

Model genes seem to run in certain families. Everyone sat up and took notice when Kate Moss' younger sister Lottie was unveiled in the model's wedding spread in Vogue; Cindy Crawford's 10 year-old daughter recently launched her modelling career with a Versace campaign and 90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy's daughter is doing the same.

18 year-old Lily McMenamy is already represented by Next Models but this season marks the first time that her model card has been used in the agency's Paris show package. Already, people are reporting that the model has snapped up a big exclusive for Yves Saint Laurent Saint Laurent Paris. Securing such a big show is a big deal on a normal day but since its the first women's ready to wear collection from Hedi Slimane, this upcoming collection is even more special and means that all eyes will be on the line-up.

Whitney Port Is Asking Her Fans To Pay For Her S/S13 Show

Naomi Mdudu — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 10:00:00 BST

Despite her role on 'Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model', it wouldn't be too harsh to say that Whitney Port's career hasn't ever shone quite as brightly as it did during her time on 'The City'. While she continues to design for her brand, Whitney Eve, it hasn't been doing too well and now she's asking her fans to pay for her New York show.

In the short video appeal the fund raising campaign is framed as an innovative way to allow her fans to be part of the creation of her show when in actual fact, it seems like nothing more than a way of finding money to fund the show. 'Oftentimes, I have fans asking me how they can break into the fashion business or how they can learn more about runway show production,' she said in a statement. 'I think this campaign is a great way to provide my fans a behind-the-scenes experience on how a large show is designed.' Depending on how much you donate you can get everything from a shout out on Facebook to being able to sit front row at the show.

Not matter how much she tries to spin this, it all feels a bit disingenuous to me. What do you think?

New In: Kanye West Will Show His Collection Again In Paris This Month

Naomi Mdudu — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 14:27:58 GMT

Not discouraged by the disappointing reviews from his debut show, Kanye West will show his brand again at Paris Fashion Week next month. Today the rapper's PR agency, Karla Otto, confirmed to WWD that the show will take place on March 6 at 9.30pm in Paris but the show venue is yet to be confirmed. According to Fashionista, the brand wasn't picked up by any retailers last season and as we reported, the line has had very little press but hopefully the fall 2012 season will be a good one for him.

Celine Have Cancelled Their Fall 2012/13 Runway Show

Naomi Mdudu — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:27:25 GMT

Before you panic, all is well. The fall collection is being worked on as planned but the brand have decided to cancel their upcoming show as creative director Phoebe Philo is eight months pregnant with her third child.

According to WWD, press and buyers will still be able to view the collection but in an intimate presentation rather than in a full-blown show format. Exactly how the presentation will be conducted is yet to be confirmed. The only downside of the change is that if you thought Celine shows were already notoriously difficult to get an invite to, the small nature of the presentation means that it just got that little bit harder.

Oh, God no. You’re making me draw my champagne at the thought! Not initially, anyway. We’ll have agents selling it, and we’re hoping it will have kind of a global presence, and then who knows? We’ll see how it goes.

Quote Me: Maria Cornejo On Being Reluctant To Use Young Models

“

Most of the time I say, 'You're too young, you're too skinny, you're too pretty, my daughter is older than you.' I don't want to endorse that idealism of a girl when I have a teenager. I don't want people to think, 'Oh my God, she's got an 18-year-old [daughter] and she's sending 15-year-old anorexics down the runway. But it's hard, we don't have the budget to cast somebody, fly them in and get them to just do that show. A lot of the older girls don't model anymore, they only come out by special appointment. The agency just sends you all the girls who are just trying to get into the business.
