Christina Perez — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 15:41:59 PDT

>> Tennis anyone? Bar Refaeli shows off her new lingerie line, under.me, while looking sporty on the court in this recently released video. "My work means I'm traveling all the time, rushing from city to city and wearing the most incredible, elaborate designs. I love it, but on my downtime I just want to relax and be myself," Refaeli says. "That's the idea behind under.me - a focused collection of beautifully made basics that look good and feel amazing." As of right now, the line - which is priced from $7.50 to $25 - is only available online in the UK.

fashionologie — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 13:58:52 PST

>> Just before the new year, models have headed to the beach in hordes - supermodels, in particular. Just this morning, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, and Bar Rafaeli were snapped in Cabo catching some sun together. And yesterday, Stephanie Seymour was spotted frolicking in the water with her family in St. Barts, while Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, her boyfriend Jason Statham, and Alessandra Ambrosio logged some yacht time in St. Barts last night. Kate Moss, for her part, has yet to hit the beach, but she was snapped at the airport yesterday with Jamie Hince and Lila Grace Hack - and she's rumored to have been headed to Thailand for her own beach holiday.

Roberto Cavalli Admits He's Not the Party Animal He Used to Be at His $2 Million 40th Anniversary Bash

fashionologie — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:54:27 PDT

>> Roberto Cavalli reportedly spent about $2 million on his 40th anniversary bash held last night at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris - and that doesn't include the budget allotted to bringing Natalia Vodianova (and perhaps some of the other 1,200 attendees) to the party. As the New York Times's Eric Wilson wrote: "It was one of those fashion parties that felt like another era, when it was possible to enjoy such extravagance without wondering how a designer could possibly be selling enough animal-printed evening gowns and exuberantly distressed denim to afford it all."

Kylie Minogue performed, the walls were lined with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's images of models in Cavalli, and Heidi Klum introduced the designer as a four-tier, 10-foot birthday cake covered in sparklers was wheeled onto the stage. But even through all that, Cavalli, almost 70, admitted he's not the party animal he used to be: “Don’t say it, don’t say it, please, because the people should still dream with me,” he said. “The young should think that, instead of sparkling water, I drink Krug, or that I still smoke 10 Cuban cigars every day.”

Adriana Lima, Bar Refaeli, Laetitia Casta, and Elle Macpherson Add Voluptuousness to Louis Vuitton's Fall 2010 Runway

fashionologie — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:56:04 PST

>> Natalia Vodianova was front row yesterday at Louis Vuitton, but it was the cast on the runway for the And God Created Woman-themed show - after the Brigitte Bardot film - who demanded all the attention. After Miuccia Prada started the "womanly" casting trend this season, Giles and now Vuitton (both styled by Katie Grand) continued the idea.

Marc Jacobs's below-the-knee full skirts and bosom-baring scoopnecks were donned by opener Laetitia Casta, as well as Bar Refaeli, Noemie Lenoir, Lara Stone, and Catherine McNeil. Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima - both fresh off pregnancies - also walked, as did Lily Donaldson in her only show of the season. But the major closer: Elle Macpherson, who reportedly turned down Marc before rethinking and saying yes.

“Designers are always saying they’re going to do a collection for women, but then every girl on the runway (catwalk) is under twenty,” Jacobs said backstage. “I wanted a variety of ages and sizes. We set out to cast gorgeous women, women who feel happy to put their make-up on, get dressed up, get all their accessories.” “It’s a bit old-fashioned, I know, but I think it’s nice for a change.”

>> THE MODELIZER -It sounds like those rumors about Chanel Iman being co-host of the new House of Style along with Bar Refaeli were right - she's featured in a April 2009 Glamour spread as a young talent, and credited as "co-host of MTV's House of Style." Bar said last month they were starting shooting shortly, so Chanel's been a busy girl, between that and walking the runways. [Glamour]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Design Lingerie Line

Justin Fenner — Tue, 01 May 2012 13:10:29 PDT

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will make the transition from underwear model to underwear designer when she creates a collection of lingerie for British retailer Marks & Spencer this September.

The 33-piece capsule collection, titled Rosie For Autograph, will include everything from lingerie sets, camisoles, and a kimono-style silk robe. Some of the pieces will be covered in a rose print, while others will feature art deco patterns.

"M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them," she said. "I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead."

Huntington-Whiteley isn't the only model with a lingerie line - Gisele Bundchen launched Gisele Bundchen Intimates in May and Bar Refaeli started marketing her basics line under.me in April.

In the past, Huntington-Whiteley has worked for Victoria's Secret and Burberry, among other brands. She's the current face of Marks & Spencer's Autograph line and starred in its Fall campaign alongside actor Ryan Reynolds.
