Daily Gossip:
The end of the week gossip has got us all in a flutter:
Victoria Beckham rumours
No, nothing scandalous, but rather something exciting for style lovers. Victoria Beckham’s clothing line has done remarkably well. Before its launch the fashion world was ready to point and laugh, but who’s laughing now? Definitely Mrs Beckham. Her line was welcomed by fashion editors across the globe and has been spotted on the chicest celebrities around… Elle MacPherson is almost a Victoria body double. And now rumours are rife that the popstar turned fashionista will be bringing out a shoes and handbag line. Nothing has been announced yet, but we’re imagining bags reminiscent of Alexander McQueen’s Novak bag and heels to rival Christian Louboutin. So watch this space… [ElleUK]
Kenneth Cole becomes a lecturer?
Well only for an evening, on Wednesday the designer gave a talk to 400 studetnts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York about his rise to fashion superstardom. He expressed concern over the current economy and voicedthat he doesn’t think it will get better for years. But told students that:
“The key is to go out in the world with a sense of contest… find out where you can offer value as a designer and create something that people will desire.”
And he should know what he’s talking about his brand is worth a whopping $500 million. He also recently created the Holy Grail of shoes, one which is both stylish and comfortable. The shoe was advertised across the US, but they made the decision to only buy a small amount of stock in order to create a demand. This sneaky plan worked and on the launch 1,500 people queued outside the flagship store in New York. Kenneth also highlighted the importance of social networking in managing a brand adding:
“By the way, I can use more Facebook friends and more followers on Twitter.” By the following morning he had an extra 120 Facebook friends. [WWD]
Twilight restaurant to open
Calling all Twilight fans… Calling all Twilight fans… yes, you… you can stop pretending, we know you’re hooked. Well forget Sex And The City tours, or Da Vinci Code trails, it’s all about Twilight. And Forks, Washington, (where the books are set if you’re pretending you didn’t know) is to open a Twilight restaurant called Volterra. This follows the Twilight Lounge which has concerts and events. Ok, so a trip to Forks might not be an ideal girly holiday… but we might meet our very own Edward Cullen. [Hollywood Reporter]
