The new campaign for Candie’s was captured by three acclaimed photographers – Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Terry Richardson – at Paramount Studios in Hollywood late last year. All the three took various approaches to work and the photos are absolutely different from each other in the result.

Annie Leibovitz went for a black-and-white version and created pictures with Britney looking chic and sexy. The singer was featured on a dark grey background wearing a black dress embellished richly at the cleavage.

Terry Richardson chose a plain white set for the shoot. Brightly colored pink teddy that was placed on the girl’s shoulders and funky shoes and bracelets added colors to the photos. Britney was dressed in a white lingerie ensemble that looked great on her toned-up body. (See the photo here.)

Mark Seliger placed the songbird into a Moulin-Rouge environment, all pink and girlie. She was also featured on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle dressed in jeans and a red belted top.
Ms Spears liked being a model very much. She considered a great honour to work with professional fashion photographers.

She said:

Annie, Mark and Terry are three of the biggest photographers in the world. I am honoured to be working with them for my Candie’s Only at Kohl’s ads. It was an amazing shoot, and I know my fans are going to love the cool images. I’m very excited to be working with Candie’s for a second season.’

Dari Marder, chief marketing officer of Iconix Brand Group Inc., who own Candie’s said that inviting Spears to front their campaigns had been a wise idea.

Talking about the success of 2009 he said:

It’s hard to pinpoint whether the sales are from marketing or pricing but it was one of our best years.’

Britney confessed that she liked Leibovitz’s photographs best. Which pics do you think are the best?

I don’t consider her clever enough and she isn’t very stylish. She can’t be a good mother to her kids and some of her statesments make me sick. But she is popular and she tries to improve her life and reputation. That’s good and I do respect her for that.

The girl who used to kiss women and wear extremely skimpy clothing looks nice and glamorous in Elle January 2010 issue posing outdoors and in the kitchen. The singer plays with her sons and looks forward to the better.

Speaking fashionably she looks incredibly good in a blue coat and Louboutin shoes. And she looks feminine and sophisticated wearing a white gown beside a pool. And finally she is super-sexy donning a black ensemle and a pair of sunglasses covering her eyes.

Good luck, Britney, hope it’s the better part that your life stepped into!

The Havaianas trademark feature, that was also inherited from the Zori, is rice straw soles as all the flip flops have a textured rice pattern on all foot-beds.

Traditionally, Havaianas don’t lose shape, don’t smell (that’s important!) and straps don’t get loose, but what we love about them is their up-beat mood and real color explosion in designs.

New prints, colors and models appear almost every year, but there’s one thing we’re 100% sure about – these Brazilian Flip Flops keep winning hearts of more and more fashionistas who choose Havaianas as the number one pick casual footwear brand.

Havaianas presents comfy footwear for all age categories of their customers from babies and kids to women and men, including special limited edition flip flops.

Nowadays Havaianas sells in more than 60 countries worldwide, but it only set its foot in the US for good in 2007.

We love Havaianas Slim, what’s your favorite style?

FYI, check out celebrities who also heart Havaianas:

The new Candie’s ad with Candie’s spokesperson Britney Spears has just been revealed.

The previous ad campaign was glamorous and very funny. This ad is quite interesting too. A lot of pink and lilac.

Britney wore Candie’s in her new music video Radar, where she was in jeans, in a white dress and wide-brimmed sunha.

The part of video will also appear in a Candie’s television commercial that is set to debut later this summer.

I was so excited to wear Candie’s in my ‘Radar’ video,

I especially loved their jeans and cute dresses, which were perfect for the theme of my video.”

These fab outfit ideas may help teens everywhere send age-misplaced sexy tones.

The pics of ads for Candie’s will be printed in September fashion magazines.

And all Candie’s Fall 2009 collection will be available at Kohl’s department stores.

Check out new video:

But goldfields weren’t interesting for him. He started his own business focusing on making strong pants for gold diggers.

His factory produced overalls from brown canvas that was delivered from an Italian town Genoa. Bales had marks Genes on them, and Americans read it in the same way as ‘jeans’, so later the word was changed and pants were mostly called as ‘jeans’.

Soon the pants became blue. This happened due to the fact the factory ran out of canvas. The production couldn’t be stopped and Levi decided to use thick blue twill delivered from Nim town in France.

Mark ‘De Nimes’ (‘From Nim’) gave name to the fabric itself and pants made of it began to be called – denim.

Though the material was very durable sometimes it couldn’t carry heavy mining tools and gold bars. Levi solved this problem soon as well. He started using metallic rivets to prevent pants from tearing.

And in 1873 first Levi’s jeans with rivets appeared.

A bit later women took this clothing item into their wardrobe too.

In 1953 the first woman’s design was created.

Thus in the 50s jeans became the most fashionable garment and the whole world got to love them!
Sex-symbols of the epoch – Elvis Presley, Marlon Brando – liked wearing jeans a lot.

Moreover, first jeans were perceived as sexy clothes.

In 1952 women’s jeans got a zipper, this was a bold violation of conservative morality. Model 505 with a zipper supplanted the classic 501 model with buttons. Buttons became popular again only at the beginning of the 20th century.

In the 50s classic five-pocket denim design was highly popular: two pockets were in front, two at the back and a small one in the first front pocket.

In the 60-70s jeans became fashionable in hippie movement as a symbol of freedom, dissent and sexuality.

Then followed flared jeans, they literally burst into fashion. They looked shabby, had décor and were worn very low on hips.

In the early 70s women were hysterical about the so-called ‘hot pants’ – the shortest denim shorts ever.

They could hardly cover women’s bottom. In the 90s this style returned with a new twist and all women were again enthused.

‘Jenny’ design which is baggy and pretty comfortable for work was liked by many girls in the 60s, and in the 70s this style became popular with men too.

In the 80s jeans makers bleached jeans with pumice stone wetted in perchloric acid – young people loved the idea!

Moreover, fashionistas of that time used to tear jeans to tatters. Rich people wore special jeans embellished with gemstones.

In the 90s jeans with a high waist and skinny jeans became trendy. At the end of the last century stylish jeans were ornamented with beads, sequins, stones and prints.

Nowadays designers make jeans of different colors, experiment with forms, cuts and tailoring.

Punk style, bleached, ripped, flared or skinny jeans – diversity of styles are in vogue at the moment and you can hardly choose something that is out of fashion!

Denim is liked by lots of celebrities. For example, Jessica Alba, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, Audrina Patridge, Ashley Tisdale and others. If they like jeans why don’t we do that?

Our celebs are the first to show us the trends. And now we see them wearing the fishnets.

Why not?

Women believe that fishnets can ‘change your leg shape’ making legs appear more toned and slimmer, they can ‘change a women’s mood’; while 71 per cent of 35-plus women said they ‘make them feel younger’.

In a new survey by premium hosiery design brand Jonathan Aston, on average women choose to wear fishnet stockings to accentuate their sex appeal, and make their legs look better.

Despite being career minded, a third of the 1,000 women surveyed confessed that fishnets and smart black shoes were the winning comb, and when worn with right outfits are very appropriate so we say!

The research also revealed that 18 per cent of women thought that fishnets gave them a way to express their personalities at work, while a measly 8 per cent commented that fishnets shouldn’t be worn in the work place.

Over half of the women surveyed said that only mesh stockings with tiny holes should be worn to a wedding, although 63 per cent said they were ‘perfectly acceptable’ attire for a funeral.

According to those questioned, wearing fishnets over 40 years of age is not a sign of a women’s mid-life crisis, but a statement of independence and confidence.

Sarah-Jane Hingorani, Hosiery Designer for Jonathan Aston commented:

“Fishnets can make a real statement and are versatile; they can be irreverent and fun and also look professional and smart. You should feel confident and wear fishnets whether you are sixteen or sixty.”

She added:

“Younger girls love bright colours, and will wear styles with a larger mesh, while older wearers prefer a finer mesh, and tend to choose black and nude tones.”

But, you know what? I do trust Madonna, Rihanna, Girls Aloud and Lady GaGa, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton who wear fishnets as a modern trend.

She will be featured in Candie’s upcoming Candie’s Only At Kohl’s ad campaign.

Britney Spears will replace the Heroes starlet Hayden Panettiere. Hayden Panettiere was the face of the shoe and accessories line for two years.

Britney will arise in Candie’s print, TV, in-store and online ads this year.

Due to their collaboration, Candie’s and Kohl’s sponsor Britney’s Circus tour, beginning on March 3.

“Britney’s back and Candie’s has her,” said Dari Marder, the chief marketing officer for Candie’s Iconix Brand Group.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Britney, which marks her first ever apparel endorsement. There is a perfect synergy between our Candie’s girls and Britney’s fan base and to be able to partner with her during such a monumental time in her career is very exciting for the brand,” Dari revealed further.

Britney said,

I’m so excited to be the face for Candie’s Only at Kohl’s. Candie’s and Kohl’s are doing such great things with my tour. It’s great to work with a line that has such cool clothes and accessories.”

Britney Spears graces January issue of Glamour magazine in white shirt. She has light makeup and dishevelled hair.

She looks awake and fresh. But so nice and innocent.

In the Glamour Magazine interview, pop singer talks about her life during this crazy year and trying to set a good instance for her sons.

She will present her album Circus, new aroma Hidden Fantasy on her birthday, December 2.

The singer previously lent her name to scents entitled Curious, Fantasy, In Control, Midnight Fantasy, Curious Heart and Believe.

An insider at fragrance company Elizabeth Arden, who has collaborated with Britney on her beauty dares, revealed Hidden Fantasy will smell of cherry and vanilla, adding:

The bottle of Hidden Fantasy is the same as the previous two Fantasy perfumes – the only difference is the color red on it.”

I’m wainting to see and smell this fragrance. I think it will be very nice.

So, some quotes from Britney’s interview for Glamour Magazine:

About family:

In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable.”

As a mother, you can never be enough – or do enough – for your kids. It’s a never-ending issue for me.”

About feelings:

I would like to stop worrying so much, because I worry all the time. And to learn how to be happier just in general.”

About awards:

When I received the awards and [the audience] stood for me, it showed me how much love is out there,” says Spears, who swept the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.

Her life is calmer these days

“I don’t like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people,”

I love my home and staying in bed and watching Dancing With the Stars or reading a Danielle Steel novel. I’m kind of boring.”

On her post-baby body, Spears says

My body…completely changed [after giving birth], and I have had to work hard at getting it back.”

These evening clutches are some of my favourite pieces from my new spring/summer 2009 accessories collection,” Williamson tells vogue.com about his rectangular and oval designs, which come in either a red wine or flesh tints.

“Finished in the finest French croc, their structured forms and exotic detailing create a statement of pure luxury,” he adds.

His new bags can perfectly accessorize you evening garment, a good example is a little black dress of a nice design…

We’ve heard nothing about Matthew Williamson for nearly two years. And his chic designs are set to make a comeback on the rails of high street department store Debenhams next year as part of its designer womenswear collection.

Financial Mail reports that Williamson, who kept on working with the store designing accessories and lingerie, will once again join the likes of Antoni & Alison, Julien Macdonald and Jasper Conran, who all produce diffusion ranges with Debenhams at present time.

Next year we’ll witness the opening of a new store in New York that signifies about a completely new phase in the designer’s  creative work.

2009 is going to be a busy year for Matthew Williamson, who in the past has collaborated with Monsoon and worked as the artistic director of Pucci.

Celebrity support remains key to the business and clients include: Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Moss, Britney Spears, Kate Hudson and Helena Christensen.

His S/S 2009 collection was presented on New York Fashion Week in September.

IT was really about looking back at last spring/summer,” Matthew Williamson said backstage after his show in Bryant Park, complete with front row devotees Petra Nemcova, Daisy Lowe and Kelley Osbourne.

“Looking at that collection and thinking, it is very girl on a vacation. So this season I wanted to explore the same idea but give it a sense of ‘what if she doesn’t have a vacation to go on?’ – hence the structure and the tailoring. So it was a little bit more of an overall wardrobe.”

The style of collection was:

Pants like cigarette a few inches above the ankle were exposed in bright yellow, with two shown front-zipper pockets, and mixed with a matching blazer in a thinly lined black acid kaleidoscope pattent.

Another perfectly framed skinny pant viewed in a bright fruit pierce red satin, pleated down the front with a folded in white tank, and then layered with a vest. It was in an ultra-bright pink satin with stiff front folds and wide shoulders.

Williamson’s show was even more fab as it progressed into a combo of his signature prints, exotic and ethnic detailing, for example, the floral fancywork and glass beads and sequins outlining a square neckline.

The colour moving brocades that the designer’s known for were presented on the catwalk as well.

The photo by James White is a re-print of 2003, from Esquire magazine. It this year she released the hit single Toxic and album In The Zone.

She poses in a black strapless mini-dress, tossing her tumbling blonde locks over her shoulder.

In the interview ‘How a broken Britney bounced back’, the returned singer reveals the strategy for her much-anticipated comeback.

With her new album, which will be released on December 2, and her hot new look, it seems that Britney Spears is finally back!

Jessica Simpson covers the December 2008 issue of US Cosmopolitan.

In the interview with Cosmopolitan Jessica opens up about her views on boys, relationships and honesty.

Jessica on Her Marriage To Nick Lachey:

Nick will always be a part of my life. But next time, I’m marrying the right one.”

Jessica on Giving Candid Interviews:

I definitely know a lot more about myself from being asked questions and being forced to answer them truthfully. They make me face the reality of what people want to know….I’m see-through. And I’m the worst liar of all time.”

On Tony:

I’d always fall for guys I wanted to save. For the first time, I fell in love with someone who saved me.”
