Flashback :: Alessandra Ambrosio Before She Was A Supermodel
The “Before I Was A Supermodel” series has been getting my attention recently.
Check out this video from Alessandra Ambrosio, Victoria’s Secret Angel.
Hers is an intriguing look back at life in Brazil, ballet classes, her first modeling gig at 13, and her vow to never give up.
Amazing how show looks exactly the same now as she did then!
Reeewind!: ANTM Finale

I guess I got distracted on Wednesday night (November 18) — and perhaps the day after, too.
Somehow, I completely forgot to mention Nicole Fox’ win of ANTM Cycle 13. This means that she is the first ever winner in the show’s experiment with shorter contestants.
Congratulations, Nicole!
If you missed the final episode, which 2.7 million watched last week, or just want to see it again, you may view it on www.cwtv.com.

Old School Converse Kicks Make Comeback
It’s always fun to watch yesterday’s top trends rebound on today’s fashion scene.
One such brand is Converse, which has launched its Weapon Evo–featuring the Star Chevron logo worn by superstars during basketball’s “Golden Age.”
Parent company Nike has also announced that the Star Chevron will now be the primary logo on all Converse basketball footwear.
Where to get the Weapon Evo? Continue reading
Is Coach Trying to Be Gucci?
After hearing the buzz about Coach’s Poppy Collection, I went over to coach.com to check out what’s new.
That’s when I stumbled upon “Tattoo” – their newest collection.
And then it hit me.
Gucci launched a very similar collection, called “Tattoo Heart” November last year.
So I’m wondering, now that we’re in a recession, is Coach the new Gucci?
With less money in their pockets, will penny pinching fashionistas now settle for a mid-range “luxury” product (which replicates Gucci’s ’08 stuff) instead of going after the first-rate labels ?
Seems Coach certainly hopes so.
LA Gear Making A Comeback
I can’t believe people are gonna be wearing these again!
From 1989-1990, the Unstoppable line from LA Gear was all the rage.
Now in 2009, the sneaker company has seen it fit to do a limited edition release of the Stardust in the US.
Available in five colors – light grey, white/blue, white/grey/green, white/lilac/green, and light pink, they still have the signature rhinestones and bow-tie in the back.
Apparently, the limited edition run only consists of 89 pairs and went on sale Wednesday night. Check them out.
Oscar De la Renta Clears Things Up
Oscar De la Renta appeared on “The View” today to clear a few things up.
The fashion designer recently came under fire for an interview with Women’s Wear Daily in which he disagreed with Michelle Obama’s fashion choices on the recently concluded presidential European tour.
“The First Lady of this country is entitled to dress anyway she wants,” said De la Renta on the talk show today.
He went on to add that he chose his words badly.
De la Renta also confirmed he was “jealous” of designers who have dressed the First Lady so far and indicated it was something he’d like to do in the future, along with dressing Whoopi!
Thanks for clearing things up, Oscar. We respect that.
Christian Siriano for Payless
When news of Christian Siriano’s collection for Payless broke, the buzz was almost deafening.
With New York Fashion Week over and done, I can’t help but wonder how the Project Runway winner will cope where sales are concerned.
The way I see it, in the end, it will be the discriminating fashionista who determines the fate of the Payless-Siriano partnership.
Will she make the trek to the traditionally low priced footwear store to snap up Christian’s collection?
Only time will tell.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it, click on the thumbnails to see what Siriano brought at his New York Fashion Week runway show.
