Nike Golf has announced plans to add a new collection to its golf clothing brands - the new Tiger Woods Platinum Collection of Nike golf clothing.
Premium stores across the UK will retail Tiger Woods Platinum Collection of golf clothing starting next month. The design hinges on the distinctive personal insights of best known names in the world of golf, Tiger Woods. The Platinum style is said to reflect the personality of the man.
“Tiger came to us and said that he wanted something that represents a new level of sophistication - apparel that performs and looks good on and off the course,” said Doug Reed, Nike Golf’s global director for apparel and footwear.
“So we worked closely with Tiger on creating an uncompromising, competitive and progressive line of clothing that represents where Tiger is today. We are evolving as Tiger evolves. It’s really an amazing and inspiring process.”
The Tiger Woods Platinum Collection of Nike golf clothing features a brand new concept–“no sew” technology that is supposed to reduce weight and bulk in places like plackets, sleeves and collars, and gives the simple knit shirt a sleek, modern look. The new premium line incorporates Nike’s innovative NikeFIT technology without compromising the luxurious style it renders.
Considering that Tiger has been on the staff of Nike Golf for over a decade, this move is really not a surprise.
Some of the featured offerings in the TW Platinum line include the Dri-FIT Pique Polo (£55), Dri-FIT Jersey Polo (£65) with laser-cut buttonholes and no-sew placket, Dri-FIT Matte Sheen Polo (£60) and TW Platinum pants, pullovers and jackets.
Wonder why I published the image of the Woods couple? Simple. I love looking at Elin’s photo.

Veteran rocker Rod Stewart takes on Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, Victoria Beckham and Lily Allen by launching his own clothing line.
If you’re looking for leopard print and leather, you might be disappointed by the rather sober collection of T-shirts and tracksuit tops for men and women, bearing the rocker’s image. Even toddlers get a dose of Rod with a special baby suit.
The “official Rod Stewart panties”, about $5, are shiny black, emblazoned with red hearts and include the words “Isn’t it Romantic”.
“I shouldn’t think Posh or Kate have much to worry about. Good effort, Rod, but I’d stick to selling records,” said Daily Star fashion expert Clare Taylor.
Daughter Kimberly shares dad’s unique fashion sense with her own clothing line, Pinky Star Fish. Stewart, 63, father of seven, has performed in flamboyant outfits and is married to model Penny Lancaster.

This should have happened like 2,000 years ago. I’ve been waiting. Anyway, Katie Holmes is finally inspired by her two-year-old daughter Suri to team up with Armani to launch an apparel collection for toddlers.
OK! Magazine has reported that Katie’s first collection will be out as early as Spring 2009. Suri donned a polka dot dress designed by Holmes last year.
“The Katie Holmes for Armani collection will be comparable in price to the Armani ready-to-wear line,” an industry source said. “It will be sold in stores like Saks, Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus. We’re talking very upscale: less expensive than Armani Privé but more than Armani Exchange. These are going to be very high-quality clothes. We’re not talking cheesy Jessica Simpson stuff.”
Saks, Barney’s New York and Neiman Marcus are some of the names expected to be carrying this hot new label, expected to be priced in the Armani ready-to-wear lines. This should be shocking, since Giorgio and the Cruises are close friends. Tom and Katie even wore Armani on their wedding day.

Evangeline Lilly is the new Davidoff Cool Water woman.
Lilly, 28, has signed the deal to promote new perfume for Coty Prestige worldwide, except the US (no comments available on that as of writing), starting well before this Fall.
“Cool Water Woman definitely represents the juxtaposition between purity and sensuality, and there’s that sort of fresh newness,” said the superfit Lily. “On top of it, there’s strength that’s underneath it all, that is where sensuality comes from—versus just pure sexiness.”
My readers will recall I blogged Lilly’s LOST co-star, Josh Holloway’s pact to be Davidoff’s men’s fragrance.
Other celebs to sign on with Coty include Halle Berry, Celine Dion, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Jessica Parker—all of whom have signature fragrance deals.

Hot on the heels of being unveiled as the face of Calvin Klein’s new fragrance, CK signs up Eva Mendes again–this time for their new underwear line.
Beginning this autumn, Eva Mendes will launch the new global advertising campaign for Calvin Klein lingerie, as well as launch Seductive Foundations, CK’s new lingerie collection, said to be designed for women with curvy and full figures.
Mendes has had a long-time association with Calvin Klein, having worked with the brand on several occasions including the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s awards gala. She’s now taking over promoting their underwear range replacing Natalia Vodianova, who was the face of CK’s first ever online campaign last year.
“She really embodies the essence of the Calvin Klein brand and we look forward to seeing that carried through in the creative,” said Tom Murry, president and CEO of Calvin Klein Inc. “We are trying to get across that these new products are for fuller busted, shapelier kinds of women and when we looked at the talent, Eva was right.”
He added that the fact that Mendes spent two spells in rehab last month did not affect their decision to choose her for the underwear campaign.

Hong Kong actress Miriam Yeung has signed up as the face of Japanese cosmetics brand Shiseido.
While Angelina Jolie appears in Shiseido ads (aired only in Japan) for their powder and liquid eyeliner, Miriam will be their new ambassador for the company’s whitening skincare products in Hong Kong and China. Reputable Hong Kong photographer Angus Chan and creative director Nam Kong directed the long photo shoot.
During an interview with the media, Miriam said she “will need to make sure she uses the product to keep looking beautiful, otherwise (she) will lose out when the time comes to ‘meet the parents’ for real.” Guess she was talking about her blossoming relationship with boyfriend Real Ting.
“I’ve grown up now and I appreciate the concern that everyone is showing me,” she added.
When asked how her love life is at the moment, she pitched for Shiseido, saying it is “whitening.”
Good luck, Miriam!
