Ke$ha – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Wed, 10 Nov 2010 23:48:56 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Why Lady Gaga Has Enormous Fashion Influence http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/why-lady-gaga-has-enormous-fashion-influence http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/why-lady-gaga-has-enormous-fashion-influence#comments Wed, 10 Nov 2010 19:40:57 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=16637 If you were wondering just how big Lady Gaga’s influence is in terms of fashion trends, we’re here to tell you it is officially huge.

Gaga is very well-known for her avoidance of pants. This past Sunday night, scores of Hollywood stars gathered at the MTV Europe Awards, and here’s a scorecard of how many celebs took a lesson from the Lady and went pants-less at some point during the event:

Katy Perry, who sported a white leotard for her performance of Firework, Eva Longoria two separate times as host of the show, Miley Cyrus while performing Who Owns My Heart, Ke$ha on the red carpet and Taylor Momsen also on the red carpet (who, whether she realized it or not, actually ripped right off Gaga with an underwear beneath a coat and boots look). Plus, Longoria also dressed as a ham at one point, though her costume was not actually made of raw meat. {The Cut}

Quite a list, no? Now you might argue that Gaga did not actually start the pants-less thing since Cher has been known to go without them and even Madonna rocked a few leotard looks in her day, but these stars never really seemed to inspire as many others to take on the look too.

With winter fast approaching, we’re not sure how popular the no pants movement will be in the mass market. As far as celebrity fashion though, Lady Gaga’s definitely setting the trends.

Richie Sambora is Livin’ On a Prayer with New Clothing Line http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/richie-sambora-is-livin-on-a-prayer-with-new-clothing-line http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/richie-sambora-is-livin-on-a-prayer-with-new-clothing-line#respond Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:48:18 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=13410 White Trash Beautiful. Kind of sounds like a fraternity party theme or a phrase Ke$ha would use to describe her red carpet looks, no?

WTB is actually the name Richie Sambora, of rock and roll superstar band Bon Jovi, gave his new clothing line, which was recently reviewed by Vogue UK. The collection was designed in collaboration with Nikki Lund, who interned for Anna Sui and Jill Stuart in New York.

“We wanted to make something for strong, empowered women who are in touch with their soft, sensitive sides and who are comfortable with their femininity – who can also kick ass,” said Lund. Or, judging by some of the zipper placements, women who are comfortable with flashing a few roadies for a backstage pass.

The clothes were shown in March at L.A. fashion week, and a menswear line is in the works. Sambora has worn some of the WTB pieces on stage already and supposedly they have made a jacket for lead singer Jon Bon Jovi. {Fashionista}

As for the clothes – one of the dresses has a long train that does look like it could be made out of black trash bags. Perhaps the collection should have been called Trash Bag Beautiful.

The review? “Exactly what you would expect the lead guitarist of one of the world’s most famous rock ‘n’ roll bands to want women to wear: seductively revealing, often spray-on and always dramatic. Fabrics are leather, suede, silk, stretchy snake print and lots of elastane, while detailing focuses on zips – there’s even a zip-crotch leotard.” {Vogue UK}

Some of the pieces – particularly the jackets and vests, could actually work well paired with basics to tone them down a bit for a chic rock and roll look. The Glory Vest is pretty funky and cool and so are the Drifter and King Sport Jackets.

However, Sambora wants to dress Jennifer Anniston, aka the unofficial queen of understated California classy, in WTB clothing. Sorry, Richie; we don’t see that happening, but we still love you anyway.
