What Models Eat: Jourdan Dunn’s Cooking Show

People say that Jourdan Dunn is a very witty, funny person. I have yet to discover that (wink) since I don’t know her in person and silently walking on a catwalk doesn’t help either. Watching Jourdan cook spicy Jerk Pork, however, had me scotched to the screen til the end of her cooking episode. She’s easy to follow, fun and sweet. Also great around the stove (wink). And now I’m soooo hungry! {fashionologie}

We narrowly avoided the controversy during the Victoria’s Secret 2012 Fashion Show (you know, the famous Native American headpiece worn by Karlie Kloss) and here we are, gloriously stepping into another! Charlotte Casiraghi participated to the Gucci Paris Jumping equitation competition wearing – what else – Gucci!

All sounds perfect, especially since Charlotte Casiraghi is actually Gucci’s spokesperson too. Except Charlotte went for a Native American themed look with a Gucci assorted feathered headpiece. I can absolutely appreciate the fashion driven force behind Charlotte’s competition outfit but I think it lacks sensitive intelligence and historical / canonical righteousness.

As much as I dislike wearing shoes around the house (I’d rather wear wool socks), I have to admit I’m melting at the sight of these Ugg shearling slippers! I don’t know if it’s how they look or it’s Nyaha Matonhodze’s doing, but boy, I’d want to try a pair! And Nyasha’s pretty gorgeously convincing too! {Neiman Marcus 2012 Christmas Book via}

Here’s what I get for watching Homeland! I don’t pay attention to other TV series.. At least not to all of them. Although I am fully aware that Heroes favorite cheerleader, Hayden Panettiere has a new – successful – TV show, I haven’t dipped into Nashville. Yet.

So I get to find out from the gossip Interwebs that lovely Hayden not only has a tattoo disaster on her pretty young body (remember that misspelled Italian quote on her ribs) but also a plastic surgery disaster as well.

From the looks of the screen caps below (taken from the latest Nashville episode), Hayden decided to enhance her bra cup size. Only it turned out pretty disastrous if it’s all true… Judge for yourself and pass the right message on to your friends, daughters, nieces and so forth. (and maybe add to Nashville’s ratings so pretty blondie head can fix all that?)

So how do you feel about Lagerfeld and Melissa collaborating? Because, as much as they reached out to other designers and issued more and more signature collaborations (Jason Wu, Zaha Hadid, JP Gaultier), I still think the highest about the Vivienne Westwood Melissa shoes. Do you think it’s possible that the four exclusive models designed by Der Kaiser to change that? {melissa}

Everyone wants a piece of Disney inspiration this Christmas. If any other advertising fails, rooting back to your fairy tale childhood will most certainly transcend through the harshest of recessions. At least that’s my perspective of retailers takes on Disney Princesses this Holiday Season.

After Barney’s most controversial (for nothing) Disney Classics campaign moment, here’s yet another department store – equally iconic – Harrods who’s pushing the Disney fashion envelope. The story continues after the jump, click here for the gallery!

Can you believe Olivier Zahm is doing his Purple thing for 20 years already? Fashion people have a way of nurturing the obscure… Why talk about Zahm in a Vuitton news piece? Because he’s actually working with them on a project recently launched in Tokyo: Louis Vuitton Foulards d’Artistes. A series of Vuitton scarves designed by international artists. Photographed by Purple’s Zahm. Classy is no longer what it used to be… {wwd}

Amid rumors and speculations that Apple is no longer the legend it was during Steve Jobs’ reign, ‘jOBS’, the Steve Jobs biopic movie we talked about a while back is already at its first screening time. Scheduled for the 2013 Sundance Film Festival (January 17 – 27 2013), the portrayal of Apple’s genius co – founder by Ashton Kutcher is said to be remarkable.

Undoubtedly an honor for the young and controversial actor, his performance will be under heavy scrutiny from the press, the fans and their respective dogs. Ashton is not making his life any easier – a high profile separation this year, a controversial movie project the next. What do you have in mind for the future, Ashton?

Back to the jOBS project – judging by the just – released image, it’s really promising – Steve Jobs’ picture is in the medallion at top right. Striking, isn’t it?
