Beyoncé's Stylist Says It Takes a Village to Dress Her

Ty Hunter has been styling Beyoncé for events, videos, and performances for 17 years. He met the star's mother, Tina Knowles, at the Houston boutique where he worked at the time, and he began styling Destiny's Child shortly thereafter. I ran into him this week at the New School's Parsons Fashion Benefit honoring LVMH and Marc Jacobs, and I asked him about dressing Queen Bey. What did you think of the "Feeling Myself" video? "The video is really, really great. Marni [Senofonte] styled it. But in general, everything Beyoncé does on tour, I'm the man behind the scenes." And how is she at quick changes, like the ones she and Nicki Minaj did in the video? "We know each other; we kind of have a system now. We start from the bottom and work up, pray that a zipper or a button doesn't pop. We get together with the designers and make sure that everything is easier to get in and out of. Quick-change wardrobe is totally different. Yo

Alexia Echevarria Steps Out Without Her Wedding Ring

The star was spotted in Miami after reports she is separating from her husband Herman. Alexia Echevarria was spotted in Miami without her wedding ring, just a month after it was reported she and her husband of 15 years, Herman Echevarria, had separated.

Tim Robbins takes in Emporio Armani as Fashion Week opens

MILAN (AP) — Italy's fashion capital is getting a little more traffic than usual as Milan Fashion Week kicks off, thanks to the Expo 2015 world's fair at the city's gates, now in its second month. Four days of menswear previews for next spring and summer began Saturday with Emporio Armani, Dolce&Gabbana, Jil Sander, Versace and Philipp Plein. And Marni is showing menswear on the runway for the first time.   It wasn't Gregory Peck's Vespa but the girl on the runway could be an updated Audrey Hepburn. Emporio Armani has teamed up with Vespa to create a sleek new 946 scooter with matte black paint, suggesting a time somewhere between nostalgia and now. A series of the scooters greeted guests at the menswear spring summer preview in Giorgio Armani's more intimately renovated theater. The collection was light and layered, featuring classic Armani shapes in neutral tones. The looks were loose with textured and sometimes crinkled fabr

Cutting-edge fashion: China's next biggest export

Open and passionate, China’s new generation of garment designers are breaking stereotyped cultural and language barriers to make their mark on the international fashion runway. Many of these designers were born in China and educated or trained abroad, a combination they leverage as differentiator in what industry observers have dubbed the “Created in China” movement. Reflecting this mix, collections are characterized by a distinctly Chinese aesthetic and modern constructions. The Oriental touch is reflected in the use of splash-ink paintings, bright red and celadon, and auspicious dragon cloud, wind and fire themes. Imported fabric is adopted, usually from Italy, imparting a sense of luxury and high fashion. "To Westerners, the result is futuristic, flattering and certainly different from the little black dress ," said Liz Maher, Fashion Edits East Coast editor/writer. The centerpiece of Huishan Zhang's Autumn-Winter 2013 collection , for insta

Raheem Sterling to Manchester City: Second unsuccessful bid for Liverpool midfielder but edge closer to luring player from Reds

The pace of the bidding suggests that Liverpool will eventually be able to earn close to their £50m asking price wow Manchester City are considering whether to meet Liverpool’s £50m valuation of Raheem Sterling after submitting a second unsuccessful bid, of £35.5m, for the player. City’s bid contained another £5m in add-ons, but it was soon clear that Liverpool would reject it. City’s first bid, submitted last Thursday, was for £25m before add-ons. Liverpool’s valuation of Sterling has always been £50m and their negotiating position is still that City must pay that sum, before add-ons, if they want to sign the unsettled 20-year-old winger. City are unlikely to offer that much with their next bid and are now weighing up the size of their third offer for the player who is their top priority this summer. A third bid is likely to be £40m before add-ons which, while not Liverpool’s asking price, would be large enough to prompt serious consideration at Anfield. By far

Four policemen torture woman over stolen iPad

A trader in the Balogun Market, Lagos State, Karamat Eleha, has accused four policemen attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Lagos State Command, of torturing her for allegedly stealing an iPad.   The device was said to be the property of a woman in the Ajah area of the state, who was robbed in May, 2015. The policemen, led by one Abiola (aka Abbey), had, while searching for the iPad, reportedly stormed a two-storey building in Idumagbo, Lagos Island , where Eleha lives with her mother. It was learnt that she was not at home when the search commenced. As their mission continued, Eleha, who was said to have gone for the fellowship in the neighbourhood, arrived home and was asked about the iPad. Eleha said, “Around 10.20pm on May 14, I just returned home from a fellowship when the policemen asked me about a missing iPad and I told them I knew nothing about it. They checked my bag, but nothing was found there.” According to Eleha, the cops insisted that they

Behold the latest dinosaur discovery: Hellboy!

The latest new dinosaur – a beast with a corona of bone atop its enormous face -- has an august scientific title based on Greek and Latin roots. But researchers call it something else: Hellboy. The animal earned its impolite nickname thanks to the "devilishly hard" labor of extracting its skull from a bed of ultra-hard rock just above a river, says Darren Tanke of Canada's Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, who worked on the excavation and coined the dinosaur's moniker. Stubs resembling devil's horns above the dinosaur's eyes also helped inspire the nickname, which the animal shares with a two-horned comic-book superhero. No run-of-the-mill devil, the Hellboy dinosaur was more of a demon king. Besides its satanic horns, it boasted a crown-like ring of bony plates across its forehead, inspiring the first part of its scientific name, Regaliceratops , which means "royal horned-face." Hellboy came to light thanks to amateur fossil hun

Nigerians upset over first lady's flashy watch

This image was diluted somewhat when his wife......... .(read more)
