The April 2010 issue of Allure features two gorgeous women – Carrie Underwood and Heidi Klum.

Carrie graces the cover and looks great on it – young, fresh and beautiful. But while Carrie is fashionably dressed Heidi poses almost nude or even absolutely nude for the glossy.

The supermodel shows up her perfect post-baby body for the shape part of the magazine. On one of the photos she has nothing but a shaving cream or something of this kind on her. One more pic presents Heidi as a model of modern technologies. And then she is wearing a pair of high heels and a bodysuit that barely covers her nipples, to add to this she is holding a bar!

Jean Paul Gaultier reinvented himself again for his Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 collection. The entire range was a bright mass of chic outfits and flamboyant accessories. Different cultures and various fashion taditions were all mixed up together on one runway, but they didn’t seem to collide, rather they looked like complementary to each other.

Garments were sumptuous and very wearable – everything from eccentric trench coats and classy jackets to thigh-high woolen socks and Marocco-style shoes.

Headpieces looked exrtaordinary and would hardly be good for real life but they looked really overwhelming. Weird turbans and huge ushanka-hats, vibrant kerchiefs and simple items with pompoms – all looked fantastic!

Blumarine collection for Autumn/ Winter 2010/ 2011 includes absolutely fabulous zebra prints that I immediately fell in love with. These black-and-white patterns have been used to make not only dresses, skirts and blouses but also coats, scarves, leggings, handbags, bracelets and even high boots!!! Perfect, perfect, perfect!!!

Besides zebra prints, there were lots of leopard ones that looked beautiful as well. There were no bright hues but blacks and pastels were in plenty.

Designs were peculiar to the brand and included strapless minidresses from light fabrics, some with long flowing trains, warm sweatdresses, stylish leather jackets and trench coats. The most notable detail in the collection was the fringing – everywhere, from skirts to handbags, and crystals embellished on pretty feminine outfits.

Talking about the collection Cerf de Dudzeele declared:

J’adore it all! It’s for the kind of girl a man wants to follow in the street.”

And you know what, men do like girls in such outfits – stylish, womanly and a bit provocative!

People get more and more coscious about wearing fur and leather as PETA activists promote their pholosophy of Not killing animals. But fashion world doesn’t always react to such appeals and season after season we see designer collections with fabrics and materials made of animals.

The recent Chanel collection for Fall/ Winter 2010/ 2011 featured plenty of fur. Karl Lagerfeld claims all of it was fake. But while using fake fur in his creations he doesn’t say he is against wearing fur at all. The designer states fur should be worn only by those who can afford it.

He said:

If you cannot afford it, just forget about it. Don’t use it as an investment piece to show people how rich you are. Use it like a cheap knitted thing. It’s like a big stone. Lucky you that you can have a big stone, but if it troubles you financially to have the stone, don’t have the stone. If you can afford it, OK. But if you think it’s an investment, then forget about it.”

Karl admits he “doesn’t like” animals being killed but he has no problems with fur farming because it is a way for people in rural areas to make a living.

He commented to Vice magazine:

My father was not really a farmer, but I spent my time around the country so I know everything about country life. There’s nothing else to trap in those areas. That’s why I always say, when people talk about not using fur, ‘Are you rich enough to make an income for the people in the north who live from hunting? What do you want them to live off of when there’s nothing else to do?’”

It’s surprising to see Kristen Stewart so glamorous and sexy. But again, we love her natural while here she is wax-faced with little expression in her eyes. Seems like it is not Kristen at all.

Anyway, the actress is featured in a Slovakian magazine wearing a very revealing outfit – a strapless black bodysuit with a pair of sparkling black shoes. A zebra-printed top hat completes the look.

By the way, I forgot to mention a mole under her uper lip. Cindy Crawford distinctive feature gets popular again?

Stella McCartney launched her second collection for kids on Tuesday (March 16) for Gap store. A few kids modelled designer outfits being entertained with balloon animals, jelly and cake and a robot photo shoot booth.

The items of the new range include: stripey knits, denim shirts, flowery jackets and checked jackets.

Describing the collection Stella said:

I think this collection has a mix of the playful and practical. It’s a reflection of my brand, there are pieces that are classic and very sort of timeless and hopefully very chic, and then there are pieces that are the kind you chuck in the washing machine and they get better with time and, you know, they are funny and hopefully a little bit cool.”

Designer claims it was important for her to create pieces that would make every child individual.

Demi Moore is brilliant on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar April 2010 issue. Fresh and chic the actress definitely looks younger that she really is. Is it her hunky husband that makes her take care of herself so much?

In the interview for the magazine Demi reveals a lot about her marriage, work and her attitude to ageing.

On connection with husband Ashton Kutcher: “I knew it had the potential to be something special right away…It was like meeting somebody that I’ve just known, where you just recognize one another. It was so disproportionate, the level of emotion we were experiencing to the time we had spent together. But when you don’t know someone, you can’t just jump and say ‘I love you. Nice to meet you, I love you! … We used to end our calls or e-mails with ‘And everything we don’t say.’ It just seemed too much, too soon.”

On whether she considers herself a cougar or a puma: “Cougar has become so distasteful. I really hate that expression.” She said recently that when it comes to her relationship, she’d prefer to be called a puma. “It has a sweeter quality, more elegant. And then somebody said to me, ‘Pumas are only for people in their 30s.’”

On the photoshop controversy over her hip on the W cover: “Okay, that is literally my shape,” Demi says. What bothered her, she says, “wasn’t that people were saying it was retouched, it was that they were saying my hip was so badly botched because a hunk of it was taken out. I called the photographers, and they said, ‘We did not touch anything on your hip, your thigh, or your waist. It was the position.’”
