^i love all her songs, whether they are self-composed or not.....

 

[AlexN]

You have to give her acting...B)

Have you seen Gigli?

 

[AlexN]

^i love all her songs, whether they are self-composed or not.....

They're definitely not. But to each their own...

 

[NOE]

I haven't seen Gigli...because I couldn't stand the first 10 minutes and shut it off....BUT, I did enjoy The Wedding Planner

 

[marrimoda]

I wouldnt call her a good actor...she's dedicated...shes okay, but not a powerful actor.
I would not call her a singer...
Even she doesnt call herself a designer.
She is a dancer.
She is a great optimist.

 

[Kimkhuu]

She's a money making machine. That's all, I don't think she has talent in music, acting or designing.

 

[softgrey]

and don't forget her real talent...she's a maneater...

and don't forget her real talent...she's a maneater...

watch out boy, she'll chew you up.....!

WWD's review, from today's issue:

Friday night, of course, belonged to Lopez, who showed both her Sweetface and JLo lines. “This should be looked at as the real start of our company,” she told WWD in an interview last month. “Now we’re really going to show the world what we stand for.” She also copped to a certain humility. “Let’s be real — I’m obviously not at the level of a John Galliano. There is an art to what he does that I admire.”

You can say that again. This show played like an homage to Galliano (with digressions into Versace, Dolce and Cavalli lands). With its maze of deck chairs on a glitter-strewn floor, the expansive set pulsed with Galliano theatricality, and, no slave to subtlety, Lopez even signed up John’s favorite makeup artist, Pat McGrath, and frequent music collaborator, Jeremy Healy. The styling, too, invoked his mixed-metaphor, pile-it-on m.o., especially in the opening jeans section.

In the midst of it all, there were some perfectly appealing clothes — lots of jeans, short-shorts, belly-baring tops, baby dolls, capelets — a lexicon of the here-and-now of cute-girl dressing, the kind of fashion that derives its point of difference almost exclusively via the wearer, or in this case, the stylist. One could extract, as well, more grown-up, dressed-up clothes from the riotous offerings lavished with runway-only diamonds and fur, and shown in full wind-swept, Avedon-cum-music-video glory, thanks to a fan positioned just so at the end of the runway. Although it’s tough to imagine a run of the hoped-for J. Lo-generation thirtysomethings on the Sweetface department, many of these clothes could find viability among younger women and teenagers, if well-priced and well-marketed.

What the Lopez extravaganza did not even approach, however, was anything resembling a true designer collection, or at least what this industry has traditionally thought of as such; that is, something inclusive of genuine innovation or at least distinction. Whether that matters, or whether the “celebrity designer” phenomenon will ultimately reshape the American fashion industry, remains to be seen.

Maybe her spring/summer collection will be better.

 

[lmonte1221]

Most of her collection is too loud for me, especially the fur, but it totally looks like her closet. At the same time each outfit represented someone else's design. The only thing that is reflected in her collection is her style. Overall, I give it a thumbs down.

I don't know what to say.

In your dreams.

 

[Curious]

Anyone know who did the shoes for this collection? I love the fold-over boots. Are they considered pirate boots? Anyhow, would love some suggestions on where to find something similar. Thanks!

 

[MizBlue]

I vote for sending all the celebrities to where they belong - the zoo.

HYTERICAL..NEMOVA..YOU ARE TOO FUNNY

 

[MizBlue]

BRAVO!!!!

Both points you made I agree with wholeheartedly. Both aspect are based on Business. The models are there to do what they are paid to do. They are professionals and most likely had the option of participating / or not.

Mrs Lopez-Anthony she is a very smart business women trying to capitalize on her image. I would do the same thing if I were famous.
Business is Business I think we are being personal

I AGREE SOME PEOPLE ARE TAKING THIS WAAAAAAAAAY TOO PERSONAL

WELL SAID

I wonder if people heralded the death of fashion when DSquared showed their line... this really isn't any different. Better than L.A.M.B. but lacks the innovation of Jovavich-Hawk, I have to wonder if people would be kinder to this line if Jennifer wasn't involved.

 

[brian]

I have to wonder if people would be kinder to this line if Jennifer wasn't involved.

they would.

it's not fair to the REAL DESIGNERS WITH ACTUAL TALENT of the world that some stupid celebrity who thinks that since they're famous and have a legion of fans they're automatically entitled to go out and become a "designer," hiring top models for their shows, turning the entire thing into a huge spectacle with tons of celebrities and press in the audience, receiving praise and critical acclaim when there are some TRUE talents out there who are struggling and often times can't even afford to hold a simple presentation during fashion week, let alone a multi-million-dollar-celeb-studded extravaganza.
