I like the dress she is wearing. She should get some botox on that forehead.

[TheGlassAngel]

She tries...very very hard...and that's not a good thing

but those last pics make me feel there should be a court order that she get some botox

Star stylists

It’s not enough to dress the celebrities - now they want to dress you

BY BOOTH MOORE
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

July 31, 2006


They have dressed Lindsay and Nicole, Gwen Stefani and the Olsen twins. And now they want to dress you, too.

Celebrity stylists, once relegated to entourage status, are stepping out from the shadows of their famous clients with licensing deals, clothing and jewelry lines. They're consulting for fashion mega-brands, appearing on TV shows, even posing on the red carpet.




It makes sense when you consider their influence. The past decade in fashion might best be described as the era of the celebrity stylist. As the liaisons between designers and their red-carpet mannequins, stylists are the ones who create and validate trends, which then trickle down to the public. Stylists may agonize for weeks over a single celebrity outfit, but the result, that elusive thrown-together chic, has helped usher in the latest layering trend, which will be dictating the way we all dress come fall.

Rachel Zoe created the now ubiquitous 1970s glamazon style for Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie last summer. The look - bronzed bod and long blond tresses, slinky jersey dresses and messes of gold necklaces - circled back and turned up on the Gucci runway for fall.

Andrea Lieberman's multicultural sensibility has guided Gwen Stefani's stage costumes, as well as her popular L.A.M.B. clothing line. And as arbiters of the classic Hollywood look a la Catherine Deneuve and Sophia Loren, Estee Stanley and Cristina Ehrlich transformed Mandy Moore and the Olsen twins from 'tween tarts into polished cover girls.

Zoe is now the biggest star stylist, photographed almost as often as her clients. She has a coffee-table book in the works, TV offers on the table and a new line of luxury handbags in collaboration with Judith Leiber. Stanley and Ehrlich are designing a collection of undergarments for Frederick's of Hollywood, following the launch of their own clothing label last year. And Lieberman is crafting fine jewelry for Mouawad.

Zoe has consulted for several large fashion houses, but the Leiber deal represents the first time she has come out publicly as a designer. The bags (think Gucci, except with more hardware) include minaudieres (jeweled evening bags) and satchels in exotic alligator and python, with snake-like medallions inspired by an 18th- century doorknocker from a building in Paris. The Rachel Zoe for Judith Leiber collection, $2,000 to $10,000, won't be in stores until fall, but Zoe has already started selling. "I took them out every night in Cannes and I think I sold like 50 of them."

As for the future, Zoe would love her own jewelry line and envisions becoming a creative director of a design house one day. "I definitely think it's a logical step," she said.

Ehrlich and Stanley debuted their clothing line, Miss Davenporte, last year - sweet-looking heart print silk shirtdresses, trumpet skirts and lady coats with a vintage feel, $200 to $1,000. John Eshaya, a buyer at the Ron Herman stores in Southern California, was the first to bite.

"These girls have amazing taste and they see everything," he said. "They get a feel for what's not there, so they end up making clothes they need to put on their clients, and we benefit from that."

Ehrlich, a former professional ballet dancer, says she's careful not to step too far into the spotlight. The Frederick's deal makes sense, she said, because stylists have expertise when it comes to the physics of undergarments. "We want to come up with solutions for women who don't have us in their lives."

Though stylists are really only famous by proxy, the public is becoming more aware of them every day, according to Frederick's spokeswoman Yolanda Dunbar, who said Ehrlich and Stanley will have a role in marketing the still unnamed line when it hits stores for the holiday season. "People are realizing the support celebrities have in presenting themselves. It's far beyond hair and makeup."

Lieberman may have earned her styling stripes working with Gwen Stefani, but she actually has a formal design education (a rarity in the image-making industry), having graduated from Parsons School of Design in 1992. Instead of jumping on the Seventh Avenue track, she bought a plane ticket to Africa and stayed for two years. She came back inspired by tribal jewelry and intent on running a store until a friend asked her to style a music video for a new band called Rusted Root. That led to work with P. Diddy and Eve, and her big break, dressing Jennifer Lopez in that unforgettable plunging green Versace gown for the 2000 Grammys.

"Who could have predicted anything like that?" Lieberman said recently.

Last year, the '-year-old Mouawad company gave her the chance to create her own jewelry. Priced from $500 to $25,000, the Designs by Andrea Lieberman collection is sold at Bergdorf Goodman, among other stores. The pieces, inspired by nature, are updated classics such as delicate bamboo-shaped bangles and stacking rings, and charm bracelets with raw stones, instead of perfect ones. And, yes, Stefani has worn them on the red carpet.

I really like her dress in 624, but in 625, she looks a bit disheveled to me (even though I like that dress). She also looks really stiff and tense about something from her body language.

She works with Ashlee Simpson and Emmy Rossum?

[daisyDuck]

Emmy Rossum, raise your hands in the air and back away slowly from your make up bag! Enough is enough!

I think Rachel looks good in these photos. I kinda feel the urge to defend her appearance somehow. I don't know, I just kinda started to like her after reading the UK Vogue story, and I really appreciate the work she has done with eg. Nicole. I wish she would dress Mischa more, her clothes have been awful lately, yuck.
