Some Just Don’t Age

photo cred | Fashionista

WWD reported today that Christy Turlington Burns was returning to her role as the face of Calvin Klein this coming fall. Well, the model previously starred in their campaigns back in the 80s and guess what? She hasn’t aged at all! These two pictures side-by-side of back then and today look nearly the same. Her first Calvin Klein gig on the right was shot back in 1988. And we did the math. That was 25 years ago! But we can’t all be Christy now, can we?

The Row Prepares to Expand

WWD reported this morning that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen of The Row have hired François Kress as the brand’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Kress is currently the President and CEO over at Prada USA Corp. The 25-year-old sisters are definitely taking steps in the right direction to expand The Row into a major luxuary brand by working with Kress and creating this new position for him within their company.

Along with The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are also responsible for their fashion company Elizabeth and James and affordable line Olsenboye. The Row has produced some truly exquisite pieces in the last couple of seasons including their sleek floor length dresses and upscale basics. This news makes me excited to see what direction they are headed for next alongside Kress.

Designers Weigh In On Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress with their own sketches

“I wanted Kate to look regal, but romantic, so I used chiffon and lace to evoke tradition, but gave her a romantic off-the-shoulder detail.” — Doo-Ri Chung, Doo.Ri

As soon as the royal engagement was announced, designers went straight to work in beginning their sketches for the wedding gown that they hope to see Kate Middleton wearing when she walks down the aisle. WWD has asked designers to send in their submissions and here is what they came up with. Many submissions included long sleeved or extravagant and overwhelming veils and skirts that resembled a Victorian style. Out of the 30, here are just a few of my favorites!

Demi Lovato poses for WWD

There’s only a few select people that I genuinely like from the Disney channel. Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are two. Miley Cyrus is not. Even though Demi started out in acting, I think I would prefer her as a singer. Have you ever listened to her? She’s really good and in a slight way reminds me of Hayley Williams and I’m not just seeing that just because Demi looks up to her.

Her new album comes out July 21st titled “Here We Go Again” (okay another Paramore song)
