Tom Ford Brings LA to the Fashion Forefront








Tom Ford took a huge gamble, not showing up for London Fashion Week and instead hosting a show in Los Angeles. With the Academy Awards only two days from Friday’s show, most celebrities in the world were stationed in LA, making the choice of venue for Mr. Ford’s show extremely strategic in a world where celebrities equal profitability.

Among the celebrities present at the show were: Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora, Elton John, John Legend, Scarlett Johansson, Amy Adams and Oscar nominees, Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore. Jay Z and Beyonce were late to the show and apologized to Tom Ford.

“Tom [Ford] told me not to wear anything under this dress tonight, so I didn’t,” said Miley Cyrus from the front row at the show.

Ford pulled all kinds of strings to divert attendees of the London Fashion Week to attend his showing including editors like Anna Wintour, Joanna Coles, and Joe Zee. He also convinced models like Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls, and newbie standout Gigi Hadid to ditch London for LA.

Ford is a pioneer, a businessman, and leading a revolution towards making Los Angeles a mainstay contender with New York, London and Paris in the fashion industry. All eyes are on LA as the city continues to mature.

Kanye and Beckham Mourn at London Fashion Week

London Fashion Week catwalks were put on hold due to the loss of a great mentor from Central Saint Martins––one of the most prestigious design school in London. Louise Wilson was a passionate individual who taught at CSM for 22 years, with an alumni roll call of some of the finest designers of our time, including McQueen and Stella McCartney.

Kanye West and Victoria Beckham stood amongst friends and family of Wilson’s at the memorial. Former students Christopher Kane, Louise Goldin, Simone Rocha and Roksanda Ilincic spoke about their experiences Wilson.



«She was tough, she wasn’t an easy person, but the designers now say they were so pleased that she brought them out and made them themselves,” Suzy Menkes, international editor of Vogue, told members of the press.

In the evening, most of the memorial guests attended this year’s graduate show by students all hand-picked by Wilson on the CSM fashion course.

Karlie Kloss is leaving Victoria Secret at the end of her contract to attend NYU. Before you have a heart attack at the thought of not having any new photos of Kloss in lingerie being produced, the model says she will continue to work while she goes to school.

The story broke at Vogue when they reported that it’s March cover star had recently been admitted to NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. The bombshell had Christy Turlington Burns write her a letter of recommendation. It’s no surprise Kloss is interested in going to school, with a track record of turning her career as a model into a conglomerate with a L’Oreal endorsement deal and a partnership with Code Academy.

A source close to Kloss told People, “Karlie is stepping down from her Angel duties. She’s got a busy but exciting year ahead and the decision came down to timing. She’ll be focusing on her modeling career, new business opportunities, and NYU starting in the fall.”

Kloss said,“I’ll still be working full-time,” she said. “I’m incredibly ambitious and have lots of goals within my career that I’m not slowing down anytime soon.” Good news all around.

Kanye Doesn’t Pull a Kanye, Finally Defends His Adidas Collection

Despite all of his best efforts, Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 1 Adidas Collection has been the subject of criticism and debate in the industry. Some lauded the clothing, while others very publicly spoke out against it. Amidst all of the clamor and buzz surrounding his Adidas line, Kanye has remained uncharacteristically silent––until now.

After Kelly Cutrone called Kanye a ‘joke’ and the creator of New York Fashion Week, Fern Mallis, told the New York Post she was “kind of over” him, the star has finally taken to Twitter to defend his line. The fashion world held its breath, waiting for another Kanye outburst, but the rapper kept his cool and instead started a serious dialogue about his career in the industry.

Unphased by Fern’s cold shouldered comments, Kanye West instead focused on the larger problems of stereotypes and lack of diversity in the industry. He stated his fame as being a hinderance, rather than a boost, to his design career––adding to his previous sentiments that he lost many fashion friends after dating reality star, Kim Kardashian.


The designer ended his Twitter defense by telling Fern that if she wanted to have a real conversation with him they could meet at The Spotted Pig for drinks. It appears that The Spotted Pig is Kanye’s go-to for making up; the rapper previously met up with new friend Taylor Swift there for dinner.

Are Emma Watson and Prince Harry Really Hooking Up?!

Featured Video


Will Emma Watson be the next princess to be inducted into The Royal Family? Rumors are circulating that the two most attractive Brits have been rendezvousing in secret for some time now. At this point the Emma-Harry romance is all speculation, but their supposed romance is sizing up to be steamier than Ricaprio’s.

Sources claim that Prince Harry had his eye on Emma and asked a mutual acquaintance to hook them up after the Harry Potter star broke up with former boyfriend Matthew Janey. Prince Harry is known for being a royal playboy but, according to Woman’s Day, an insider has revealed, “He’s smitten – and it’s more than Emma’s looks.”




If the rumors are true––and fans everywhere are frantically crossing their fingers in hopes that they are––then Emma Watson clearly has a thing for gingers. The merging of Emma’s star power and Harry’s royal bloodline will make the most powerful celebrity couple yet. All they need now is a cute couple name. Hemma? Warry? Harmione? What will it be?

All jokes aside, if the two Brits are truly smitten with each other, we wish all the best for the happy couple. After Emma was cast as ‘Belle’ in a live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, we have no doubt that she is fit to be more than just a Disney princess.

Ralph Lauren Caresses Kanye West, and We’ve Got the Pic

Kanye momentarily forgot to put on his best unamused face when his idol, Ralph Lauren, caressed his cheek after the Ralph Lauren fall presentation at New York Fashion Week. The star was caught grinning from ear to ear, and the priceless moment was later uploaded to Instagram by Ralph Lauren’s son David Lauren. We haven’t seen Kanye cheese so hard in…well, ever.



In an interview with Style.com, the rapper called Ralph Lauren a ‘god’. Kanye had no words––a rare occurrence in itself––other than, “Ralph is the god. And that’s all I want to say about Ralph.” This interview was conducted shortly after Kanye’s debut collection with Adidas at New York Fashion Week, which was recently criticized and called ‘a joke’ by Kelly Cutrone. Ralph Lauren, however, doesn’t seem to care about Kanye’s talents as a designer and was pictured caressing the rapper-turned-designers face backstage.

Iggy Azalea Quits Twitter and Hates Humanity

Iggy Azalea got back from a vacation in Cabo to an inbox full of unretouched photos of her on the beach and nasty comments about her cellulite. The 24-year-old white female rapper is on a winning streak and at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, she won four Grammys including Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for «Fancy» and Best Rap Album for The New Classic.

The rap superstar tweeted ‘The Internet is the ugliest reflection of [mankind] there is.’ Unfortunately, her fans are sad and she won’t be coming back to Twitter. Her PR will be controlling all of her social media from now on, but from the sounds of her last tweet, she’ll be back…they always come back.




Is all this harassment on Twitter being blown out of proportion? Does Iggy need a lollipop or does Twitter need to support it’s users (especially the rich and famous ones) by screening tweets more carefully? Let us know on Twitter @fashionone

Kanye West’s Dinner Date with Taylor Swift

After Kanye West’s outburst at the Grammy Awards back in 2008 when Taylor Swift won best album over Beyonce, the two have had a rocky friendship. The rumor mill started spinning at this year’s Grammys when the two enemies met each other with smiles and hugs on the red carpet. No one believed it to be true that the two had put away their differences. Some even went as far as to claim they were friends and working on music together.

All of the rumors came to a halt earlier this week when the pair were seen in New York City having dinner to discuss music. Kanye went on Ryan Seacrest’s radio program and confirmed the details. The two are in fact working together and Kanye is thrilled at the opportunity to work with Swift.

What kind of music do you think the duo will make? Is this the beginning of something beautiful? Stay tuned as the details unfold.

North West Looks Just Like Mom Kim Kardashian. MUST SEE Pic

The cutest baby on the planet is not yours, it’s Kimmy’s. A photo of Kim Kardashian as a baby side-by-side North West, at what appears to be the same age, was posted on Kim’s Instagram. The two babies look like identical twins.



«I look back at photos and I want to cringe when I matched, like, turquoise eye shadow with turquoise sweater with turquoise flowers in my hair. Like, I was so bizarre,» the star of Keeping Up With The Kardashians said. «If I could go back [in time] I’d just be classic. That’s why I try to dress my daughter classic so she can look back at her baby pictures when she’s older and know that she was dressed so simple and cute.»

North West is often spotted in the front row of fashion shows around the world, but her style is tame, composed, and––as Kim said––’classic’.
