You would think that supermodel Agyness Deyn walking in Alexander Wang’s show for the spring 2011 season is a huge honor for the designer, but on the contrary it was a huge honor for Agyness herself. You might find her reason a bit peculiar, but here goes: Alex killed a cockroach for her!

Now if you are a guy then you might wonder what the big deal about this is, but if you are a girl then you know how indebted you are to her. The supermodel says, “I wasn’t going to do the shows, but you know, Alex called, and I love him.”

Speaking on this, Agyness’ business partner says, “He killed a cockroach in our house at Coachella, so she owes him.” Asides from walking the ramp for famous designers who saved her from cockroaches, the supermodel also takes the time out to pitch in ideas for her new online magazine Naag.

Megan Fox looks very hot at the ‘Passion Play’ premiere in a special beige Armani Prive dress. The almost Angelina Jolie lookalike star looked classy while attending the event with new husband Brian Austin Green. The former Transformers star recently tied the knot with longtime fiancé Brian Austin Green in a quiet press-free ceremony in Hawaai. The latter was the star of the old 90210 Beverly Hills show in the nineties.

The ‘Passion Play’ premiere was held at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival on Friday. Megan Fox took the pain to look her best on the red carpet at her new movie premiere. The strapless dress was accompanied by some nice Caesar Paciotti shoes. Not forgetting the Neil Lane jewelry, Judith Leiber clutch, and Armani coat, Megan Fox looked perfect for some ‘Passion Play’ for the night.

Megan Fox, 24-year old, is looking forward to the success of her new film with the great, Mickey Rourke. The movie revolves around the character that Megan plays, Lily. Mickey Rourke plays a jazz musician who’s been having bad luck. Doesn’t Megan sound too young for Mickey?

Good news for fashion fans, and most importantly Alexander Wang’s fans, the young designer will soon be opening its first ever store. Alexander Wang has finally confirmed that he is indeed opening his first store in New York City. The store will be placed and located at 103 Grand Street.

Adam Levine is no stranger to many, especially those who are Maroon 5 fans. The lead singer has decided to step out on his own by launching his own fashion line. This comes to no surprise as every celeb is launching his/her fashion line these days.

Adam Levine is very stylish himself so no points for guessing here onto why he would want to launch his fashion line. 222, is what his new fashion is called. 222 is set to release in stores next spring. Adam Levine being stylish doesn’t really justify to why his fashion line, he’s into this business as his father Fred owns a chain of stores throughout Los Angeles for the past 30 years. Maybe this explains why Adam Levine dresses well; he probably had time to test his looks to see in what he’s more comfortable. His dad will also join him on this new fashion line as well as his dad’s cousin, Sami Cooper, who owns the factory that will produce this line.

We tend to categorize the clothes that we wear by season. Actually, this originates from designers who unveil and launch their collections based on the season; we have the summer line, the winter line, the autumn line and the fall line. Among the new trends for autumn are puffball sleeves, tweeds and camel colors that we can already spot in stores.

Today we will talk about autumn and the special jacket that will suit the autumn season to the ‘T’. The aviation jacket, which does bear the same look at what an aviator would wear, looks perfect for this autumn. It looks elegant and posh at the same time. Since its preview on the ramp, fashionistas have predicted that this jacket would be the hottest wear for autumn, we couldn’t agree more.

The aviator jacket was shown off on Burberry A/W 2010 fashion show among the other fury jackets that were shown. The aviator jacket is available now at Geox.

The importance of saving the environment and going green seems to be working well with a lot of companies these days. Timberland is the latest footwear manufacturer who has announced that it is ready to expand its eco-friendly footwear.

The new footwear will be greener as in, it will help and give its users a more detailed information on the environment or more on the impact that this footwear has on the environment.

The new footwear comes from recycled, organic and renewable materials in each pair. Timberland has by far about 14% of its footwear that are from recyclable materials, the company has plans to increase that to 100% by 2012.
Timberland is all set to make a change when it comes to the environment. The brand has been contributing on creating a greener environment and now it wants to contribute even more by making sure that its designs won’t affect the environment.

Since its summer now, jeans seem to be raining from everywhere. We saw Megan Fox in a very feminine ad portraying Armani jeans for the summer and now we have brand Rosé a Pois who have presented its new jeans collection. Contrary to popular belief, this collection is a joint venture between Rosé a Pois and denim jugglers.

Though the jeans are not slated for the summer, they come from the brand’s 2011 autumn/winter collection. Reported to be the newly designed ergonomic trousers, the jeans are the classic 5-pocket jeans-type with modern touches here and there.

The 2011 autumn/winter collection, Rosé a Pois includes classic 5-pocket jeans, a modern sarouel, a forefront ‘capri’ and stretching lenggins. Colors are inspiring with a warm and romantic mix. Apparently, the line consists of shoes as well. With many fashion houses around, a lot of people are not even aware of Rosé a Pois. Hopefully when Rosé a Pois and denim jugglers release their new collection, people will feel connected to its clothes in any way.
