Material Girl – Signature9 http://198.46.88.49 Lifestyle Intelligence Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:46:27 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.4 Dakota Fanning Is In, Taylor Momsen Is Out at IMG http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/dakota-fanning-is-in-taylor-momsen-is-out-at-img http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/dakota-fanning-is-in-taylor-momsen-is-out-at-img#respond Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:46:13 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=17385 Over at IMG Models it looks like a case of bad girl gone (in exchange for) good. Nylon noticed that Dakota Fanning was added to IMG’s model roster while Fashionista confirmed that Material Girl spokesmodel Taylor Momsen is no longer represented by the company.

Momsen has been trying to up her rebel image with a panda-eyed beauty regimen, stripper heels and shock statements, Fanning (who goes by Dakota F on the IMG site) has shocked everyone by demonstrating that child stars can pull off the role of well-adjusted young adult.

Not that the teen angst thing didn’t work for a while – in addition to landing the Material Girl campaign, John Galliano chose the teen rocker to endorse his Parlez-Moi d’Amour fragrance. {Styleite} Being honest, too much black eyeliner and lingerie is an almost perfect representation off Galliano’s enfant terrible line. Even if your natural reaction to Momsen is that “she’ll grow out of it in 5 years,” there are certain segments of fashion where her rebellious reinvention is a natural fit.

With this year’s clothing moving towards a more feminine, less edgy aesthetic, maybe there just weren’t enough segments for IMG to make this particular Gossip Girl work.

Taylor Momsen is Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/taylor-momsen-is-madonnas-material-girl http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/taylor-momsen-is-madonnas-material-girl#respond Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:03:12 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=14147 We told you about Madonna’s new clothing line dubbed ‘Material Girl’ hitting Macy’s shelves, and Signature9 UK filled you in on all of the campaign details. The juniors line targets feminine-but-edgy girls with a distinct punk rock style .

The face of the brand has remained hush hush until now. All we knew was that a young Hollywood starlet, who lives and breathes the essence of edgy was in Madonna’s sights. The ads are finished and courtesy of Macy’s it’s confirmed that Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen is the face of the ‘Material Girl’ ad campaign. {Stylelist} No word yet on if this means underwear and stripper heels will be involved in the line.

Even though she’s moved on to Dolce & Gabbana, we love that Madonna’s not afraid to look back on her younger style. Her daughter Lourdes, who collaborates on the collection has, over the years, may be heavily influenced by old pictures (we’re betting that’s a family photo album a lot more exciting than ours), but has honed her own unique rocker fashion sense as well. In this case, a little fashion nepotism may not be so bad.

Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ Lineup Hits Shelves August 3rd http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/madonnas-material-girl-lineup-hits-shelves-august-3rd http://198.46.88.49/style/fashion/madonnas-material-girl-lineup-hits-shelves-august-3rd#respond Mon, 05 Jul 2010 16:37:18 +0000 http://198.46.88.49/?p=13715 Madonna’s new teenage-rocker inspired collection named ‘Material Girl’ is launching at Macy’s on August 3rd. The chains, leather fringes, studs and dark hues are  signature of  the ‘Material Girl’ image.

Madonna say’s the line stems from her own daughter, Lourdes’ personal style. Lourdes – sure to need only a single name like her mom, contributes heavily to the project. Most recently, she joined the style blogosphere, bringing back memories of another young blogger (Tavi) whose been making impressive writing and style moves of her own. {Fashionista} We don’t see any similarities between the two outside of age range, but there’s always room for another fashion blogger. While we’re pretty sure it’s someone from Macy’s behind the Twitter account, the brand is geared towards any 13-25 year olds hanging out there who weren’t born in time for the original 80s fashion wave.

WWD adds that a certain actress in a “teen drama series” who has a punk-rock personal image is the Madge’s first pick to model the collection. {Collegefashion}

Check out Signature9 UK for preview photos of the Material Girl collection, and a breakdown of everything you need to know about the campaign.
