The sexiest belaboring gun of the exalted fashion sorority, supermodel Naomi Campbell is all set to glare up the heat of the runway for a yet another Fashion For Relief show during the London Fashion Week spring/summer 2009, that starts off on the 14th of this month.

The charity event will raise money this season for the White Ribbon Alliance - an international coalition of organizations and individuals which helps save the lives of pregnant women and newborn babies around the world, patroned by the Prime Minister’s wife, Sarah Brown.

Campbell told press….

“I am honoured to be working with Sarah Brown and the White Ribbon Alliance on this year’s Fashion For Relief. So many women, children, families, communities around the world are affected by maternal mortality. Fashion is universal, personal and touches everyone in some way.”

“We are using this year’s London Fashion Week catwalk to reach people, showcase the important work of the White Ribbon Alliance and raise money for this cause.”

Jaeger, Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana Vivienne Westwood are among the designers who’ve already signed up to show as part of the event which is scheduled for September 17.

Campbell has been involved in charity work since 1997. She has also helped raise millions of dollars for Hurricane Katrina victims….`Gud on er ! What fascinates me, is the fact that age hasn’t slowed her down..N that bod-’38, Still oozes smoke’

Pugh chose the shape from Linda Farrow’s extensive archives and put his own signature monochromatic twist on the frames.

Gareth Pugh’s sunglasses for Moët, come in a strictly limited edition run of 200, to be bestowed only upon special guests of Moët.

Pugh explains, “Sunglasses are an accessory that I’ve not worked with until now. With the emphasis of lighting in the Moët Room, sunglasses seemed like the right choice for the Moët Room key. This project has pushed my boundaries in terms of design. I have relished the challenge, alongside working with Moët & Chandon once again.”

If that wasn’t he idea, its going in the uncanny department of an average sane brain…

Dread it or Admire it?

Its a bear from a limited edition Steiff bear collection, created by Karl Lagerfeld for fellow German uber-brand Steiff.,

The Teddy bears a rather cartooned mafia like affinity with the designer, donning his trademark shades, suit, tie and ‘KL’ monogrammed belt, only to give us the Teddy bear version of himself.

The alpaca bear, which measures 16-inches, costs a whopping £750 and is available in a strictly limited run of 2,500, will go on-sale US retailer Neiman Marcus next month.

The Teddy’s supposed charm got to him…And hence, he has bagged one for himself, despite of not being a huge toy person.

“Maybe I had one - I don’t remember,” he says. “I never played with anything like toys. Nothing scares me more than people with a doll collection. Frightening.”

“We always have mixed feelings when it comes to fashion exhibitions because somehow, life is taken out of the subject. But a museum show is also a more democratic way of showing fashion than a catwalk presentation,” the duo explain.

“It allows us to explore perspectives and ideas beyond that format.”

• This week’s guest bloggers are Viktor & Rolf, the almost-identical Dutch designers who’ve employed giant bows, violins, duvets and the word “NO” to create fantastically chic clothing. Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren will take us behind the scenes as they prepare for their show at the Barbican Art Gallery in London, which opens next week. (read full article on Ny times.com)

The super hottie soccer playa, David Beckham looks lip smacking in the new skivvies ads for Emporio Armani’s autumn/winter 2009 collection.

David Unveiled the Emporio Armani Ad on the side of Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco yesterday. He was indispensably roped in by Giorgio Armani to launch his Emporio Armani underwear collection in the U.S., last year. And beginning with the January issues of `08, David’s undE ads have been making too many grinners. The ad campaign was shot in Los Angeles last month with fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Malibu. The ads will also appear in New York, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Rome, Paris and Tokyo.

Becky `D have a few reservations…

“my mom was going to see it.”

When the ads came out, he said, “she was the first one to call me and say, ‘What are you doing?’ I tried explaining it to her, but she didn’t really get it.” he told Jay Leno.

“Around the house we are [comfortable being naked], but when I was doing the Armani shoot I was quite uncomfortable because I’ve never done a shoot before just in underwear, I was quite uncomfortable.” he told Ellen DeGeneres in April.

This is the second time that he and Armani have worked together. The first time was in 2002, when the Italian designer created uniforms for the English team’s wardrobe.

His Journey….

Yves Saint Laurent’s legacy as a king of fashion designers, who created a masterpiece of a brand, keeps growing.

•Yves Saint Laurent was born in 1936 and grew up in Oran, Algeria
• At 17, he left for Paris where he showed his drawings to Michel de Brunhoff - director of French Vogue - who published several of them immediately
• Following a stint at fashion school, Yves Saint Laurent was introduced to Christian Dior where he worked until Dior’s death in 1957
• After taking over as art director for Dior, Yves Saint Laurent launched his first collection for the company, the Ligne Trapéze, that year. It was a resounding success and won him a Neiman Marcus Oscar
• In 1962, after completing National Service, Yves Saint Laurent set up his own fashion house with Pierre Bergé
• In 1966, he introduced le smoking - his legendary smoking suit. His other inventions include the reefer jacket (1962), the sheer blouse (1966), and the jumpsuit (1968)
• In October 1998 Yves Saint Laurent showed his last ready-to-wear collection for the Rive Gauche label he had founded more than 30 years before. He carried on his haute couture until 2002

After a brief stint with Alber Elbaz as designer, in 1999 Tom Ford arrived to take control at the house. The brand entered the stratosphere where it remains today, covering perfume and menswear as well as womenswear.

At his last show, in 2002, a tearful Yves Saint Laurent took his final bow as his long-time muse, Catherine Deneuve, sang Ma Plus Belle Histoire d’Amour. Stefano Pilati, who replaced Tom Ford in 2005, continues Yves Saint Laurent’s message that “dressing is a way of life”.

Yves Saint Laurent died after a long period of ill health at his home in Paris on June 1, 2008. He was 71.

Celebrating her momentous status in the fashion sorority, the illustrious designer, Stella McCartney has chosen to slow it down, letting the retailers wait a tad bit longer for her conspicuous garments.

Reportedly, she has decided to only present one show per season. For those who look forward to her shows, gotta wait longer.

What’s not so sad, is that Stella is scheduled to impel her new show schedule on June 3 - presenting her spring 2009 collection at Jefferson Market Garden in New York’s Greenwich Village. Her summer 2009 collection will then be shown in October, during Paris Fashion Week, followed by her autumn and winter collections, The Daily reports.
