Reuters - Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have entered a 3-year deal with English soccer club Chelsea to dress their players, muscling their way in the fashion-hungry soccer market.
AFP - Milan Fashion Week will be true to its name, covering a full seven days in September instead of a frantic long weekend as it did in February after an agreement with top designers, organisers said Tuesday.
Fashion Wire Daily - Brilliant summer sun dappled the pack of humans, canines and felines that filled the red-carpet premiere of “Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday, July 25. But the brightest glow of the day came from Christina Applegate’s big smile.
Fashion Wire Daily - Tinsley Mortimer launched her latest collection for Japanese handbag company Samantha Thavasa on Tuesday, July 20, at the store’s New York boutique on Madison Avenue to a crowd that delighted in her fall lineup, a girly take on ’80s-inspired bags and clutches that would be just as home at a hair metal arena rock show as they would on the set of “Gossip Girl.”
AFP - Sex workers sought to raise awareness about discrimination and AIDS with a colourful fashion show on the margins of the world AIDS conference on Wednesday.
Fashion Wire Daily - Collective sighs of relief echoed down Hollywood Boulevard as Brad Pitt joined his superstar partner Angelina Jolie at the massive premiere of her new action flick “Salt.” Jolie looked gorgeous as always in a skimpy black beaded minidress, but Pitt looked positively stunning after months of sporting a mountain man grizzle of facial hair that obscured his handsome visage.
Fashion Wire Daily - When you’re a big movie star, it’s easy to whisk away from your movie premiere: just ask Katie Holmes. The actress is currently working in Toronto on the History Channel miniseries “The Kennedys,” in which she will bring Jacqueline Kennedy back to life, but her latest flick was premiering in New York City on Monday, July 19. So what’s a girl whose husband Tom Cruise makes $25 million per movie to do? Just hire a helicopter, of course.
AP - It’s no wonder the Italian businessmen claimed George Clooney was behind their fashion line — the actor knows how to wow an audience whether he’s on the red carpet or the witness stand.
Fashion Wire Daily - What made the huge Hollywood premiere of “Inception” on Tuesday, July 13, different from most? It wasn’t that it was staged at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard; that’s been the spot where movie premieres have happened since 1927. Nor was it having a huge movie star like Leonardo DiCaprio head across the street to the screaming crowd, signing autographs and posing for photos with adoring fans, for that’s been done, too.

They may have been on the other side of the planet from their native land, but the Aussies gathered at the Crosby Street Hotel last night for the Australians in New York Fashion Foundation’s summer party couldn’t have looked more at ease. “We grew up with American TV, American accents, American ways. When we come to America, it isn’t a culture shock,” offered Melissa George. Still, actors and models have been more successful than designers at rising into the international spotlight from down under, which is why Julie Anne Quay and Calvin Klein’s Malcolm Carfrae formed AINYFF in the first place. Each year, the organization arranges for talented Aussie fashion prospects to come further their careers in the Big Apple.
Last year’s first-prize winner, Georgia Lazzaro, is nearing the end of her internship at Narciso Rodriguez and had dressed George for the evening in a backless jumpsuit of her own design. “Australia has a very nurturing industry. I’m not saying it’s easier to establish yourself there, but it is kind of a case of big fish in a little sea,” explained the 25-year-old designer. Francisco Costa, just back from vacation on the Greek island of Kea, was palming a strip of raffle tickets. Fashion, he admitted, isn’t necessarily something he associates with Australia. “I think kangaroos!” But that may soon change: Lazzaro moves over to Calvin Klein after fashion week. “She has a great portfolio,” Costa said. “I can’t wait.”

The tiki torches were lit, the Champagne was flowing, and the cocktail-hour entertainment was covered in head-to-toe paint. For its 17th annual summer benefit, the Watermill Center threw an alfresco party with an Italian title, Paradiso, and a Fellini-esque mood. It started with a transporting climb up saw grass-lined steps, past costumed “snow monkeys” handing out samples of a scent that perfumer Loc Dong had created for the occasion. Beyond the wide courtyard, guests including Calvin Klein, Marisa Berenson, and Amanda Hearst toured installations of silver-painted performers and a violinist perched up in a tree. “It’s like walking into a temple, after getting out of your car and away from your GPS,” Elise Øverland noted.
In line with that Paradiso theme, more than a few guests wore angel’s wings. But apparently, nature didn’t get the memo—it was hot as you-know-what. “We started to get bitten by mosquitoes, so it was a quick walk through the woods,” Klein reported. Later, Sharon Stone interrupted her hosting duties during dinner to announce that a bug had flown up her dress. “What an awkward moment—for the bug,” she quipped. Stone auctioned off works by Marina Abramovic and Donald Judd and got Alec Baldwin to shell out $50,000 for a private performance by Rufus Wainwright, who had belted out an a cappella version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” to get the bidding going.
That was more than anyone was hearing from Terence Koh, who indicated with his fingers that he was on day 35 of his vow of silence. But with 600 guests packing the dinner tent, there was more than enough buzzing to go around.
