Karl Lagerfeld is no longer the only designer turned DJ – Dsquared2 go On Air with their musical style. Dean and Dan Caten handpick the music for their fashion shows and now they’re turning into full flavored DJ.

Their radio show on Sirius satellite radio BPM channel starts on May 5th and will also include interviews with celebs (talking about fashion, music but also politics and more). Hopefully they’ll play some music too! If you want to listen Dan and Dean on Air: Style in Stereo on BPM channel you can tune in for a 3-days free trial version or get a monthly subscription!

Anyone remembers the viral “The Earth from Above”? A series of photographs, originally titled “La Terre vue du Ciel” by Yann Arthus-Betrand became viral a few years back. The unimaginable beauty of our Earth seen from the air enchanted the eye and warmed the heart.

Yann Arthus-Betrand’s eye just turned into a movie project with Luc Besson’s Europacorp; their project, HOME will be launched in 43 days, June 5th 2009. (the story continues right after the jump with more pictures and a video!)

It’s the year of the Barbie! If the Kaiser has a mini-me Ken doll besides dressing up the Barbie, we absolutely have to check our watches and set it all on the Barbie hour!

Of course it’s one thing to celebrate Barbie’s year in the privacy of your own playground and a completely different one to wear it before the world! Piers Atkinson’s hats collection for this fall is called “The Princess and the Frog” and has very little to do with Disney’s upcoming animation movie! (the story continues after the jump!)

Then came spring and all blossomed and bloomed and the Internet news-worthy places open up under our emerveilles eyes. Today is one of those magic days when I’ll take you to happy places where everything is just blossoming and blooming! Let’s go Theme-Blogaround!

Where all life starts. Nigel Barker’s Blossoming Pregnant beauties need no judging…

What’s green, looks like a leaf and you can walk on? A pair of Miu Miu pumps! Green with envy?

The chirping birds turned into precious glassware. For delicate hands only!

Everybody’s favorite chef, Jamie Oliver, got the season’s vibe: he named his daughter Petal Blossom Rainbow! Talk about spring!

Talk about cooking – our alltime fav model-turned-star-designer, Kate Moss’ ever blossoming talent pushed her to write a cookbook! Is that supposed to say that models eat? Or cook? hmm…

Tired of the classics? Meet the Little Red Riding Blooming Hood, Carla Gugino!

Blooming and growing on us are the denim jackets! Isn’t it great to re-spring those oldies and goldies?

The Twilight madness is undoubtedly the blossoming trend this year! Meet the Zombie heels! (don’t try this at home!)

Feel a blossoming shopping impulse? You might want to check out some Style-Shopping buds from the old but oh-so-fashionable London! (photo via fwd)

I guess much has happened since I haven’t covered the celeb-turned-designer front! Because here I was, hoping this was a perfectly quiet Monday, a great way to start a new week and bam! I got struck by lightning!

Kevin Federline will design (wait, what?) Otzi, his own line of clothes for children! The father of four is really committed to starting his own fashion revolution for kids. Not that I see it as a bad market to exercise your designer skills (that is, of course, if you had any), but I can’t understand how this could actually work. Besides his obvious partying ways and baggy jeans, I doubt there’s anything else to know about this guy’s talents. Oh, I forgot – he’s also famous for his constant court-battles for Britney’s money (saying he only cares about the welfare of his kids). Do I see this Otzi-design story the wrong way?

With Matthew Williamson flying from Debenbams to Hennes and Mauritz, I see a possible further collaboration between Dame Helen Mirren and British retail giant Marks & Spencer as a normal one!

After all, we all noticed how all boutiques only sell sleeveless clothes, haven’t we? Dame Helen Mirren saw that too and she’s up for a designer challenge, aiming mostly dresses. DWS will be the name of her brand, and that comes from Dresses With Sleeves! I have very high esteem for Dame Mirren and her elegant signature style, but do we really need another celeb-turned-designer? I see plenty of dresses with sleeves! And even if there were not enough of those, couldn’t a simple suggestion be enough in order to produce more sleeves? (via telegraph.co.uk)

InStyle goes with something unusual for the January issue! With Kate Hudson as covergirl, the main interview of the magazine’s, with the very covergirl, is handled by none the other but Stella McCartney!

When and how did she became a journalist, it’s beyond my understanding. But I guess if celebs can turn designers, fashion graduates can turn to being just a celeb anytime. Especially when being born and raised in showbiz, like a McCartney. However, it seems InStyle turns to pairing celebs like a sure ticket for success. Whether it’ll be that way or not, it’s only a matter of time and popular taste. So I’m turning to you, asking if there’s any chance Kate Hudson by Stella McCartney for InStyle could be the beginning of a new, brilliant journalism? And how about the pictures? Is this celeb duo more appealing than the average magazine product? (via phun.org, wwd)

Who needs movies when you’ve got ad campaigns? Who needs models when you’ve got movie stars?

The latest celeb-turned-designer is our very own Heroes darling Hayden Panettiere, she who only had one skirt and one pair of peep toe pumps to wear not long ago! She came a long way, didn’t she? From cheerleader to Save the World soldier, Hayden promotes her own design clutch in her free time, chez Dooney & Bourke. Available in five colors with wild closure – a lion’s head plated in 24 karats gold (oh, yes, she predictably is a Leo), the clutch of Hayden’s dreams will be available from December 1st for $295. Would you pay that much for a Heroes bag? (via 1, 2)
