Chloe's fashion statement

"I don't find trashy sexy," Chloe Sevigny says, after being described as sexier than Paris Hilton. "I think it's sexy to be a little bit mysterious." The actress, 32, is now famed as much for her role as fashion icon as she is for her parts in the film Boys Don't Cry and the TV drama Big Love. Having been cast in campaigns for Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, M&M and Mac's Viva Glam range, Sevigny reveals how she discovered a soft spot for fashion at a young age. "My father was very stylish and my mother took me thrifting. It was very frugal, so I guess I had to find little treasures. My older brother was into skate-punk, so I wanted to be like him. Because the town was all homogenised blonde, blue-eyed preppy girls, I wanted to be able to identify with reject, misfit kids from other towns. Your outfits were your flag." Her outfit of choice for her first day of high school? "Wing-tip, steel-toe Dr. Martens, striped stockings, a turtleneck and mini-miniskirt. The boys were like 'Ee-yew' - Pippi Longstocking!'"

Song Hye Kyo for Celine

To be honest, I got this info about two weeks ago and was just too lazy to post it and forgot all about it, and now it's already out in the open. Aiyah!! Anyway, better late, than never.

Celine is teaming up with Korean hottie Song Hye Kyo for their F/W 07 season to produce a new version of the “Bittersweet” bag. Song Hye Kyo decided to use its shape and to reinterpret it according to her own trendy tastes.

“Having travelled extensively throughout Asia, I have found that Asian women have become more active and have obtained more freedom in modern society,” explains Celine’s artistic director, Ivana Omazic. “Today, I am delighted to have worked closely with Song Hye Kyo for this new creation and to be a part of an innovative project that opens up our company onto the world. I sincerely believe this bag represents the new voice of Asian women.”

A limited edition collection will be available in Asia only. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the bag will be donated to a local children’s charity under Song Hye Kyo’s name.

It's in the bag

Thousands of die hard fashion lovers have again been left empty handed following a last bid to own Anya Hindmarch's "I'm Not A Plastic Bag" tote. The iconic bag, which was designed in collaboration with eco group We Are What We Do, went on sale for the final time at selected Sainsbury's stores and prompted round-the-block queues - some of which started at 3am!!!! - at the 400 stores stocking it. The 20,000 bags offered in the final phase for the limited edition must-have sold out within an hour - sending disappointed must-have worshippers scurrying home to their PCs to see whether the price tag for the bags selling on eBay had reduced at all. "It is tempting to increase the amount of bags on sale to ease people's frustration and spread the message," Hindmarch said. "Unfortunately, we said they are limited edition." If you're yet to nab one, all is not lost - limited edition versions of the bag have been produced for sale in the US and Japan this summer. To get your hands on the super-exclusive, international re-incarnation, log onto http://www.anyahindmarch.com/ for more details. A pre-ordering facility will open soon.

Kate Moss frenzy

The Kate Moss frenzy just doesn't stop, does it?! There is a new rumour circulating that the supermodel is planning on joining the mannequins in the window of the Oxford Circus store in London, the day her clothes go on sale. An insider claimed, “Kate plans to pose as a mannequin. Her biggest problem will be not giggling among the dummies. When the red curtain is drawn back and Kate has been seen in some of her items, the doors will open and the outfits will officially go on sale.” Kate Moss for TopShop will be in stores on 1 May!!!

Out on a Lim

As if it wasn't enough for us to fall for Philip Lim's dreamy dresses and flattering cuts, now we're falling for the hottie himself. "I'm happiest sleeping next to my love," he said. "And my favourite off duty activity? Sleep, eat and more sleep!" Gosh, we're all so jealous....

New York-based Lim recently spent some time in London becoming acquainted with the capital's major fashion players and was impressed by what he found. "It was just a nice mix of different people from different professions," he said. "It was a great way to say hello to London." When the super busy designer does find time to take a break, his favourite hideaway is Koh Samui. "It's like a dream: simple, beautiful, kind." .....which reminds me that I should be going on a holiday....Beach I'm coming...

Lagerfeld gets Julianne Moore to accompany him

I just love it how he looks the same in each picture. A little bit thinner a little bit bigger..... We can say what we want about his appearance, but hey the man is a genius!!

Karl Lagerfeld will be in good hands on May 14, when he receives the International Center of Photography’s Trustees Award. Julianne Moore has RSVPed to be the designer-turned-photographer’s guest at the organization’s 23rd-annual Infinity Awards. Iman and Diane von Furstenberg, two of the co-chairs for the evening, will lend star power to the dinner as well. Lagerfeld isn’t the evening's only fashion-centric honoree, however. Gap will receive the award for Applied/Fashion/Advertising Photography for its consistently stellar campaigns that have been shot by a slew of well-known photographers, including past Infinity winners Chuck Close, Herb Ritts, Annie Leibovitz, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

Milla's Baby Joy

What's up with the baby boom?!? First Eva Herzigova and now Milla Jovovich? The model/actress designed a special collection for Mango with her design partner Carmen Hawk. The Jovovich-Hawk collection is now available in Mango stores, and the supermodel also graces the campaign. I've always wondered, why people like her so much, as I never thought much of her until I met her on several occasions when she was here in Hong Kong. She really is everything one would expect, she's truly stunning!! Plus she brushed off my buddy, when he was trying to hit on her in Serbo-Croatian. Lol .......Anyway, back to the news, Milla's spokesperson has confirmed that Milla and "her fiancé, director-producer Paul Anderson, 42, are expecting their first child this fall." The model-turned-actress met Anderson in 2002 when he directed her in the film Resident Evil. They reportedly became engaged in March 2003. Milla was previously married to Fifth Element director Luc Besson.
