In her ads as the new face of Madonna and daughter Lourdes Leon’s clothing line, Material Girl, Kelly Osbourne is showing off her colorful side — and both Kelly and Lourdes are talking to PEOPLE about their fashion favorites for the upcoming spring season. “The military jacket. I love that and I put it with a bunch of badges on it to make it my own, too,” Leon said recently, whereas Osbourne points to the accessories. “The shoes–there’s a pair of nude heels that I’m really obsessed with,” Osbourne gushed. “There’s so much stuff in it that’s so me and what I wear. There’s a leopard dress that I get to wear next that I’m excited about. I love prints,” she said. When it comes to clothes for warmer weather, it’s shorts for spring that are all the rage for the girls. “I’m like obsessed with them,” said Lourdes. But one of the greatest things about the line, Osbourne observes, is that it’s accessible to everyone. “There’s not many other companies besides Material Girl that do clothes at an affordable price that are high fashion and [are] what people see in the magazines and can emulate themselves without having to go and spend $1000 on a dress,” she said. And one of the most important aspects of the line for 14 year old Lourdes was making sure that other girls her age could buy great clothes without breaking the bank. “I don’t go out and buy all of these expensive [clothes]…so it’s good for my friends. It’s good for everybody and it’s good clothing, too.” Shop the line only at Macy’s and macys.com, and read more from Lourdes Leon and Kelly Osbourne in this week’s issue of PEOPLE!

PICS: Kelly Osbourne Flashes Bra for Madonna’s Material Girl Line!
Wednesday – February 23, 2011 – 12:16pm

Kelly Osbourne proves she knows how to strike a pose and, well, "Vogue" in the first modeling shots for the Material Girl clothing line -- designed by Madonna and her teenage daughter Lourdes, 14.
The ads, which debut in fashion mags' April issues, were shot in NYC's East Village neighborhood at such iconic spots as Lit Lounge and Mars Bar.
"It's such an honor to be a part of this campaign and it was an amazing experience to work with Madonna and Lola," Osbourne said of the gig. "Material Girl is incredible because it's high fashion but it's also accessible to anyone who shops at Macy's."
The Fashion Police co-host, 26, added that she's adapted her own personal style: "I take so much of my style from Madonna in the 80s and I really admire how Lola dresses and that she stays true to herself."
For her part, Madonna, 52, seems equally smitten with Osbourne's look. "Kelly represents a true Material Girl," she said. "She is edgy, cool and has a unique sense of style that Lola and I love."

(CBS) - Kelly Osbourne has officially replaced Taylor Momsen as the new celebrity muse of Madonna and daughter Lourdes' "Material Girl" fashion line.
The new ad campaign, shot by fashion photographer Brooke Nipar, features Osbourne posing in NYC's East Village neighborhood, including iconic venues Lit Lounge and Mars Bar.

"I take so much of my style from Madonna in the '80s and I really admire how Lola dresses and that she stays true to herself,"  the former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant adds.
Madonna had equally nice things to say  about Osbourne, who is the daughter of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne and "The Talk" co-host Sharon Osbourne.
"Kelly represents a true Material Girl. She is edgy, cool and has a unique sense of style that Lola and I love."
The adverts will debut in April issues of fashion and lifestyle magazines including Seventeen, Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan, in stores, on outdoor billboards  and online at macys.com.

Madonna à la Semaine de la Mode à Londres?

London Fashion Week kicks off

But the hottest ticket is undeniably Issa London, where Madonna is rumoured to be among the expected attendees.
The British-based label has been thrown into the spotlight after Kate Middleton wore one of the designer's "draped" gowns to announce her engagement to Prince William.
The future royal's status as a fashion icon is tipped to bring a new level of interest to the British catwalk this year.

Material Girl: Madonna apparemment mécontente de Taylor Momsen.

Madonna Gives Taylor Momsen the Boot from Material Girl Clothing Line
January 15, 2011 02:55 AM EST
by Hope Carson

Madonna is apparently dissatisfied with her employee Taylor Momsen, because the original Material Girl and her daughter Lourdes Leon have not renewed Momsen's contract as the "face" of their Material Girl clothing line.
Lourdes just posted a statement on her blog that she and her mom are "desperately seeking  the next face for Material Girl." Ouch.
According to Hollywood Life, being dismissed from professional projects is getting to be a habit with the 17-year-old sometime Gossip girl and self-appointed Pretty Reckless front woman. Not only is Momsen on an "indefinite hiatus" from the hit series, but she has also been dropped by her former modeling agency, the ultra famous IMG.
So far, Madonna's reasons for letting Taylor Momsen's contract expire are unknown. Perhaps, Momsen's penchant for rebellious behavior and provocative, sometimes obscene, public statements were too much even for the original Material Girl. Or perhaps, the fact that the Material Girl line is sold as a junior line at Macy's made Momsen far too controversial to continue as the representative for the brand.
Perhaps, it's time for Taylor Momsen to wake up and realize that if she doesn't stop alienating almost literally everyone, she'll soon be unemployable.

Taylor Momsen Is No Longer The Face Of Material Girl!
January 13th, 2011
Katrina Mitzeliotis

Madonna & Lourdes announced that they’re ‘desperately’ seeking the new face for the brand, which can only mean one thing — Taylor’s contract with the clothing line wasn’t renewed. Are you surprised by the news?
It’s another day and there’s yet another project Taylor Momsen doesn’t seem to be working on anymore. Quickly after the news broke that the Gossip Girl was on an ‘indefinite hiatus’ from the hit CW show, the star was also dropped from mega-modeling agency IMG — and now Lourdes has stated on her blog that the brand is ‘desperately seeking’ the next face for Material Girl.
While I think Taylor has the talent, and the long legs, for both acting and modeling, I was shocked when Madonna chose the rebellious teen for the brand — especially since it was a junior line at Macy’s. Between her provocative statements and her unpredictable antics, the star is more like a ticking time bomb than a brand ambassador. You might think I’m being negative, but in reality, I would love to see the star stop acting out for the sake of her career. She’s too talented to throw everything away! What do you think? Are you surprised she’s being replaced?

Gaultier apporte 'le look Madonna' aux masses avec l'italien La Perla.

Jean Paul Gaultier Collection which will be launched in the UK next Monday, January 17, 2011, at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, La Perla's Sloane Street boutique, and on Net-a-porter.com.

The cone-bra inventor Jean Paul Gaultier, brings 'the Madonna look' to the masses with Italian lingerie brand La Perla.
BY Hilary Alexander | 12 January 2011

Jean Paul Gaultier, inventor of Madonna's astonishing "rocket cone-bra", is re-launching the look in his first ever collection for the Italian luxury lingerie brand, La Perla.
The outrageous French designer has drawn on a lifetime of taking inspiration from saucy women's underwear; his imagination was first fired when, as a child, he watched his grandmother, a corsetier, at work.
His exclusive 23-piece collection for La Perla not only includes several variations on the "rocket cone" corsetry, in pale 'boudoir pink' and jet-black, originally designed for Madonna's 'Blonde Ambition' world tour of 1990, but an entire wardrobe of seductive and suggestive designs, each one "a celebration of the female body" - and each one, as is Gaultier's signature, designed to be worn underneath or to go-it-alone as party or club-wear.
The collection, in satin, stretch, lace and tulle, which will be launched in the UK next Monday, January 17, at Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, La Perla's Sloane Street boutique, and on Net-a-porter.com, already has a waiting list of more than 150. Bras are priced from £270 to £855, while briefs will cost between £135 and £450.
Outstanding pieces include a scarlet, stretch-satin, 'bra-dress' with metal clasps and a multi-strap 'bondage' back; a black guipure ace bra, corset, suspenders and briefs set; a vintage-look bra with double-straps and satin shoulder-pads; a suspender-belt with satin hip-pads to add extra curves; extra high briefs which hug the silhouette; and bustiers to highlight extreme cleavage.
The collection focusses on the embellishment strengths of La Perla, including a sophisticated technique for creating motifs in silk braid on tulle, and star-shaped back-stitching on satin for the pieces which define the curvaceous, hourglass silhouette so dear to Gaultier. Apart from black, boudoir-pink and red, a selection of pieces are also available in coral and aquamarine.
"Lingerie is part of my DNA and of my heritage," Jean Paul Gaultier said. "It is almost thirty years now since I designed my first corset dress. This collaboration was a natural and logical step, especially since La Perla is the pearl of the lingerie, with a long history and the best savoir-faire."
Alain Prost, La Perla's chief executive officer, described the 'fashion marriage' with Gaultier as "an explosive concentrate of luxury and femininity."

Nouvelle chaussure appelée ‘Blond Ambition’ conçue par Kobi Levi.

Kobi Madonna
Posted on 5 January 2011 by femmie m

Yay! Kobi Levi designed a brand new shoe called ‘Blond Ambition’. We know where he got his inspiration from: muscular Madonna dressed in a Jean Paul Gaultier corset. Again a design to love and want.
Jean Paul Gaultier designed the corset specially for Madonna and her Blond Ambition tour. He’d probably never guessed that the corset would be such an success. The corset is an inspiration to many designers, but Kobi Levi beats them all with this fabulous shoes.

About Kobi Levi
Graduated from Bezalel academy of art & design, Jerusalem 2001. Specialize in footwear design and development/making. Working as a freelance designer. Collaborating with both Israeli and international companies in the past and present years and working on his men shoe line in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Designed industrial footwear in both Italy, China and Brazil. Presented design in various exhibitions in Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Tokyo, Verona, St.Etienne, Berlin etc'… "In my artistic footwear design the shoe is my canvas. The trigger to create a new piece comes when an idea, a concept and/or an image comes to mind. The combination of the image and footwear creates a new hybrid and the design/concept comes to life. The piece is a wearable sculpture. It is "alive" with/out the foot/body. Most of the inspirations are out of the "shoe-world", and give the footwear an extreme transformation. The result is usually humoristic with a unique point of view about footwear. Another aspect of the creation is the realization. All the pieces are hand-made in my studio. The challenging technical development is the key to bring the design to life in the best way."

Madonna a demandé des vêtements de Lanvin pour H&M.

Lanvin for H&M likely to draw big crowds
CNNMoney.com
Jessica Dickler, staff writer, On Tuesday November 23, 2010, 12:09 pm EST

Jennifer Lopez and Madonna both have already scooped up these clothes and soon the rest of the country can, too.
Normally the garments of Lanvin -- the oldest operating French fashion house -- are off limits to the average shopper considering that the designer's cocktail dresses usually sell for $1,000 to $5,000 or more at high-end department stores like Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
But on Saturday, the Lanvin for H&M collection officially launches, bringing designer dresses to the public at prices ranging from $39.95 to $349. The limited-edition clothes will be on sale on Nov. 20 in the 24 H&M stores in the U.S. and on Nov. 23 in 200 stores worldwide.
Already stars like Madonna, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lopez have requested items, according to H&M, and fashion editors are swooning.
Designed by Lanvin artistic director Alber Elbaz, the collection of mostly party dresses for women and casual suits for men -- think track pants and tuxedo jackets -- keeps true to Lanvin's signature details like deconstructed hems and exposed zippers.
"It is very much a Lanvin collection, using their cut and tailoring, with lots of focus on form and details for both women and men," said Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor at H&M.
The least expensive item is a red lipstick, similar to what was seen on Lanvin's runway last year, for $9.95. Other accessories, including sunglasses and costume jewelry cost between $19.95 and $49.95.
While a far cry from Lanvin's usual selling point, "the prices aren't exactly rock bottom," noted Alexandra Greenawalt, a New York-based fashion stylist. "The red dress which I love and would consider purchasing is still $249."
Greenawalt calls the animal print coat for $199 is "the best wardrobe staple in the collection."
But this is "not just a dress for less," Elbaz said in a statement. "I have said in the past that I would never do a mass-market collection, but what intrigued me was the idea of H&M going luxury rather than Lanvin going public," he said.
Of course, this is not H&M's first foray into high-end fashion. The retailer launches limited-edition designer collections around the same time every year, just in time for the holidays, and as in previous years, the clothes are only available while supplies last.
Items from previous collaborations with designers such as Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney have resold for hundreds of dollars on sites like eBay. This time around, the company is actively trying to thwart shoppers from buying up the collection for the purpose of resale and restricting purchases to two items per style.
But that will hardly suppress demand. H&M says they expect consumers to camp out in front of the 5th Avenue flagship store in New York ahead of the 8 a.m. opening on Saturday.
In previous years, "people were sleeping in the streets," said spokeswoman Jennifer Ward.
