Appears as if the trend is towards younger celebrities — or at least the younger wannabe celebrities — representing the older, international brands… if Versace’s picking the 17-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones legend Mick Jagger and supermodel Jerry Hall as its spokesperson any indication.
Perhaps the Italian fashion house has a point. Donatella Versace has said: “She’s smart, a strong personality, beautiful, full of energy… and with that natural high star quality, I adore her! She’s perfect for this collection – A real Versace girl.”
The Versace S/S 2010 women’s ad campaign, shot by photographer Mario Testino in London earlier this month, will start appearing in February, in some of the stylist and lifestyle publications worldwide.
Wondering about the ‘toothy’ look? Georgia thinks it adds ‘character’.
“A while ago on the street, a guy yelled, ‘You could stick a gold through your front teeth.’ Which meant I could put a £1 coin between them,” Georgia said.
“But you can’t, I’ve tried. Fifty pence coins and two pence coins, yes. But not a pound,” she added. Wow.
That makes me wonder if Georgia could have been a better spokesperson for Gap jeans?

Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah Miller, designers of fashion brand Twenty8Twelve, introduced LG’s new wide screen Chocolate phone at the recently concluded London Fashion Week.
Oh well, LG was indeed the main sponsor for the Millers’ Twenty8Twelve (gosh, it’s so difficult to type! 2812 could have been easier) catwalk show.
Amid the fashion show, which was studded with celebrity glitterati — such as Anna Wintour, an editor in-chief of Vogue, Alexa Chung, TV presenter of MTV US and the worldwide supermodels, Kirsty Hume, Poppy Delevigne, Trish Goff, as well as Pixie Geldof with her sister Peaches Geldof– the innovative wide screen phone was lauded for its bold visionary style and design initiative.
Anyway, what’s the thing about a phone being ‘chocolatey’? I don’t get it. It sure looks great:
But where’s the chocolate? Unless, of course, we’re talking about Sienna Miller, who looks good enough to eat.

Hollywood actress celebrity newsmaker-actress-model good ol’ Lindsay Lohan is set to get creative and take over as artistic director for French fashion brand, Emanuel Ungaro and its new chief designer, Estrella Archs.
Will this work? is what’s being pondered in gossip/industry circles, especially since Lohan allegedly has no record in ground-breaking fashion design.
But Mounir Moufarrige, Ungaro’s chief executive officer, obviosuly thinks it will. Here’s what he told WWD:
“Odds are it could work. Everything we’re going to get is going to be a plus. I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.”
Meanwhile, Lindsay, 23, said she wants she wants to take the brand to a “younger place.” She told WWD:
“When I’m involved in a project, I give my all to it.
“I feel like there’s a correlation between everything I do, whether it’s pop music or film. I’ve always played a big part in what I wear, the costumes. Clothing is something that’s so expressive in so many ways. It really interests me. To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand.”
Lohan will “kind of oversees everything [Archs] does, while working with her,” WWD quoted the star as saying.
“Different generations have different ideas,” Lohan added.
How would Archs handle “the different ideas” theory? The Spanish designer does appear ‘cool’ with the idea, saying, “Have you ever met two women who agree completely about fashion?”
The duo will make a presentation of its first collection in Paris on October 4.

Tennis celebrity Maria Sharapova has unveiled her Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan collection of handbags and footwear at Rockefeller Center in New York City.
The triple Grand Slam winner (Wimbledon 2004, US Open 2006 & Australian Open 2008) apparently came up with her own fashion designs while she was recouping from a shoulder injury and skipped the tennis route for a while.
Sharapova’s collaboration with fashion brand Cole Haan, which was announced last year, began with sketches, mood boards, and inspirations from the tennis star. Maria infused aspects of her playful personality into every detail of the line from the polished buckles of the shoes, to the leather wrapped chain straps of the handbags.
The Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan footwear collection, featuring Nike Air technology, includes a ballet flat, an ankle-wrapped stiletto, a flat over-the-knee boot, an ankle bootie and a strappy platform sandal. Prices start at $138, going up to $328.
The handbag collection includes a small frame clutch, a lambskin hobo, and Maria’s signature chain-link satchel in a range of eye-catching colors. Each silhouette is characterized by an oversized pleating detail, creating a luxe, yet casual feel. Prices range from $248 for a convertible clutch to $428 for a lambskin hobo.
The tennis star-cum-fashion designer, who’s 6-foot-2 tall, and yet loves wearing stiletto, said:
“It’s my hope that other young women will embrace the spirit of the collection; it’s fun, chic, fashionable and most importantly, able to take you from day to night.”
“Everyone loves Maria. It’s great to be working with her and adding a new dimension to Cole Haan’s history,” said Jim Seuss, CEO of Cole Haan, a subsidiary of Nike.
Seeded 29 at the US Open 2009, Sharapova will be playing unseeded Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria, on the first round at Flushing Meadows next week.
Check out a couple of Maria’s handbag designs:
