Liv Tyler, 31, does UK Harper’s Bazaar October 2008. She appears in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine fairing a lacy body stocking and Christian Louboutin heels.

Liv  is a statuesque 5′10″ and recently commented on feeling like a moose.

The sexy actress voted the 6th Sexiest Female Movie Star in the Australian Empire Magazine in September 2002. She don’t likes wearing stilettos because she feels like an ugly giant.

Liv tells the Harper’s Bazaar ,

In my everyday life I don’t even wear heels. I wear flats.

I’m over six foot in heels, and I feel like such a moose. Everybody says, ‘Oh, I wish I was tall like you.’ I don’t wish I was; I wish I was petite.”

Liv Tyler, who recently split from her husband Royston Langdon, Brit musician, admits she is feeling uncertain.

She added,

I’ve been driving myself demented because I’m just in this limbo. I am trying to come to terms with all this new stuff. I don’t feel calm and collected, I feel really neurotic like Woody Allen. I’m a Cancer and sometimes I just feel like a crab without a shell.

I am feeling the pain and the loss of everything and I am trying to let myself feel it. I am trying to take one day at a time and be the best mom I can… but it’s a strange time, like walking down the road with nowhere to go.”

“Bespoke luxury features, new color schemes and spectacular visual display” are stressed in the new design of the shop.
The ground floor hosts fashion lingerie and nightwear along with the more demure Knickerbox concession.

Sleek black sparkle floors, glossy black baroque styled furniture, decadent chandelier lighting, mirrored ceilings create a very special romantic atmosphere.
The changing rooms are designed in classic boudoir style with wall lighting and seating. A piquant addition is a peep hole to let customers flash a glimpse of what they are trying on.

The lower ground floor is full of rich scarlet and black colors and a lot of black rubber.
The upper floors feature feminine pinks, with black intermingled here and there, and mixture of textures to for the customer to explore.

The main feature of the lower floor is a dramatic scarlet lacquered curved wall and pillar display, which will host Ann Summers more risque products, including bondage and raunch fashion collections, lotions, accessories and toys.

The “vibe circle” will also be a key focus within the lower ground floor featuring stations housing products for demonstration.

Marble Arch is the second store to be revamped following the Oxford Street store, which took on a new look in June.

Jacqueline Gold, chief executive of Ann Summers, said:

The look of the two new stores is exemplary of the ever-developing feminine, indulgent vision as we continue to develop and expand.

It is an extremely exciting stepping stone for the brand and I am certain customers will love the shopping experience that our team have worked so hard to bring to life.”

Fall/Winter 2008 designer collections have presented us with some new tendencies. One of the ever new trends is, of course, classic. Classic never gets old. Designers can rediscover it every new season and it will anyway look totally irresistible and beautiful. Details add new chic and charm but generally don’t radically change the tendencies.

So classic style hits the balance between extravagance and casual style, it might be a starting point for some designers and a stumbling block for others. Classic makes you follow its rules but is at the same time flexible enough to absorb brand new tendencies. So, shortly, classic never gets old.

So as for main autumn/winter 2008-2009 tendencies, they were presented during Milan, London and Paris Fashion Weeks earlier this year, and the tendencies surely include classic style with retro chic and charm of the ‘60s.

Chanel is fabulous as always. Classic hues – gray, white, black, lavender and blue – were presented in short skirts, long jackets with fringing, voluminous sleeves, pleated and corrugated folds, voluminous sweaters.

Traditional Chanel accessories like cameos, flower brooches, gloves, and belts were seen on the catwalk alongside this season’s new must-have, chains.

Dior catwalk show brought us back to early ‘60s – short sleeves, voluminous skirts, trapezium shape dresses along with cute and stylish hats, glasses, gloves and begs that truly revived the spirit of the ‘60s.

The fashion house used satin, chiffon, silk, shantung to create the designs. Dior’s collection is more colorful than that of Chanel.

One could see pistachio green, crimson, turquoise blue, and purple outfits on the runway. The collection was really feminine and really retro, which was undoubtedly one of its advantages. We just loved the hats.

Valentino’s consummate mastery to create high fashion has always been praised. This fall the fashion house sticks to the 1960s classic using bright colors and elegant feminine style. Pastel pink, coffee-colored, blue, radiant white, different shades of gray stressed the styles but at the same time didn’t distract attention from the designs.

Models were sporting tulip dresses, see-through small collar elegant blouses, bell shaped sleeveless silk gowns, dresses and skirts with asymmetric fasteners, lots of ruches and big bows.

Some of the dresses and suits were decorated with really big buttons of some matching color. The collection was well balanced in its reference to form and content and was filled with genuine Valentino spirit, though some said the show missed famous Valentino’s red garments.

Fall/Winter 2008 classic is harmony of volume and slender lines. One can see it in every cloth item presented at runway shows. Trousers are part of the tendency. They can be made superslim like leggings or treggings or bell-bottomed high-waisted ones. Elegance is what actually matters.

Elegance reins this fall and winter. Even in power dressing, which is back on the fashion agenda this season. No scaffold like shoulder pads or block colour suits, power dressing gets to be more feminine, aesthetic and even sexy this time around. Subtly structured suits, tailored dresses that accentuate the female form, bold jewellery and the return of dressing up is the look for this season’s woman in control.

Beautiful Brazilian Gisele Bundchen is already one of the world’s most famous models and one of the World’s Richest Supermodels. Bundchen has walked the world’s high fashion catwalks and has been the face of Victoria’s Secret, Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Apple. She is poised to enlarge her reach even further into the world of beauty and agreed to become the new face of cosmetics company Max Factor, replacing Carmen Electra, who’s had a three-year run with the company.

In addition to launching Gisele Bundchen starring ad campaign, MAX Factor is celebrating 100th anniversary in early 2009.

MAX Factor is a brand that has touched some of the most glamorous faces in the world for the last 100 years,” said Bundchen. “But more than that, I love that this was the original brand to make that professional artistry and glamour available to everyday women, and I’m honored to work with MAX Factor in continuing that great tradition.”

Gisele’s role as the newest MAX Factor face depicts a thrilling new look of the brand’s long-standing inheritance of putting fashion-forward, modern makeup views within reach for all women with its line of professional quality products. Her ad campaign for Lipfinity Lip Collection and ColorGenius Face Collection for the product will start showing up on magazines in October 2008.

Bruce Katsman, associate marketing director for Factor and its sister brand, Cover Girl, noted that Bündchen will be working with makeup artist Pat McGrath, who is also P&G’s global creative design director.

Associate marketing director Bruce Katsman called choosing Bundchen “a no-brainer.”

She’s the image of our high fashion consumer,” he says. “It’s not so much about her look, per se. She’s rocked the runway so she’s perceived as a great canvas. We think she does the same thing for makeup.”

Gisele Bundchen says in a telephone interview about her chameleonlike quality:

There’s been the androgynous look and the classical pretty girls. I’m not one and I’m not the other, but I can look androgynous or I can look pretty — but I’ll never look too much one way or the other”

In the new ad Gisele is doing light makeup. Her long hair  is being pulled back on top of her head. She’s demonstrating her left shoulder, dressing only what appeared to be a pink furry coat. Her face looks seductive, with both her eyes looking at the camera and her lips opened.

I thought it was really cool to be a part of something so old,” Bundchen says. “I can’t believe something can exist for that long. For a business to stay alive for that long, it must be really good.”

Gisele adds:

Imagine what I’d look at 100 years old?!

Mr. Max Factor, the father of recent makeup, revolutionized the views of beauty and style 100 years ago on the Hollywood movies with the producing of his perfect makeup line. His work began on films in 1909.

It’s thanks to the legacy of Max Factor & Company that we were given the first “waterproof” makeup in 1971.

Kate Moss, 34, did a exultant comeback to walk the runway in her first catwalk show in more than four years.

The model arrived with boyfriend Jamie, hairdresser James Brown and friend Fran Cutler at 10.30pm at The House Of Blue Eyes fashion show in Shepherd’s Bush last night as a favour to her friend, designer Johnny Blue Eyes at his first fashion show. Johnny Blue Eyes produced his new collection.

She was really excited, which surprised most people there as she always gives off the impression of being quite calm.

The show was hosted by Scissor Sisters’ singer Ana Matronic. Kate joined Beth Ditto of The Gossip in the show, which was attended by lots of her friends. Beth Ditto made her modelling debut in a tight pink clown costume.

When the show started, Kate Moss ran to the side of the stage and grabbed a top hat and switch from the rails and  started snaping a whip Beth for fun, more as a kind of show.

Kate Moss was overheard joking:

I’m going to be your pimp tonight’.’

Hot Katie Price launched her first line of rider clothing. Jordan mother-of-three looked great as she presented the range for horsewomen while flourish a twig and posing next to a horse.

The vivid fuchsia cover and a lot of accessories are just a small piece of the new KP Equestrian collection that the acute horsewoman and entrepreneur has designed for fellow horse-lovers.

Said Jordan of the range:

There’s something here for everyone – all ages and sizes, the horsey and the non-horsey.

It’s fashionable and stylish but at the same time functional and wearable. And the horsewear is just fab. Your horse is going to look so cool!

There is a plenty of pretty things for horses too. The collar and lead-rope (£12.99), cooling cover (£49.99), and leg bandages(£14.99) come in both lipstick pink and a more delicate blue, for the manlier mount.

Katie Price, 30, is a penetrating rider who keeps six horses in stables on her grounds, plays polo matches for charity and has recently taken up showjumping - coming the sixth out of 27 in a recent competition.

Leading designers Vivienne Westwood and Stella McCartney could be set to develop new view of Queen’s guards uniforms.

Queen’s guards are an iconic London sight, as familiar to the tourist as Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

The tall black bearskin hats, that are usually worn by the Queen’s Guards, are something of a London landmark but have always caused discussion among animal lovers as one bear has to be killed for each hat made.  Their use began in the wake of the Battle of Waterloo where they became spoils of war taken by the Grenadier Guards when British beat Napoleon’s Imperial Guard - who also wore bearskin. Animal rights campaigners from PETA have long been shoving for an alternate to be used - and now Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood could be stepping in to help.

This week PETA are set to contact with officials from the Ministry of Defence to put forward plans for another variant of materials and designs that could be used. Long-time vegetarian Stella McCartney and British fashion faithful Vivienne Westwood are just two of the designers who PETA have on standby to design something new and perfected if the M.O.D. give them the go-ahead.

A Minister of Defence spokesman told the Telegraph in London:

The MoD is not opposed to the use of synthetic materials as an alternative to bearskins, provided such materials meet the requirement for a high quality product that performs adequately in all weather conditions. Regrettably, a suitable alternative continues to prove elusive.” he said.

We can’t wait to see what they will make with the uniforms and hope a Stella-designed faux fur alternative can be found for the Queen’s guards.
