Kate Moss to Launch Vintage Fragrance

Kate Moss has made a fortune re-imagining her own vintage-chic style for the Kate Moss Topshop collection, so it's no surprise that she'd take the same no-fail approach for her line of fragrances for Coty. The name of her latest, and third scent, says it all: "Vintage."

"I am fascinated by vintage pieces because they not only have a remarkable beauty but also an innate sense of history," says Moss. "I love the fact that each object has its own story to tell. And yet vintage items can be reinvented with a modern twist to make them very fresh and relevant today. That's why vintage looks have inspired my personal style, my work as a fashion designer and, now, my fragrance."

Designer shopping site yoox.com is bringing the past into the future on June 4 by offering a rare collection of vintage Pucci pieces online and through a new iPhone app.

Yoox.com collected more than two dozen printed Pucci pieces -- dresses, scarves, pants, and tops, in addition to swimwear, handbags, and jewelry -- from American and European vintage collectors and dealers. And these are authentic vintage pieces, true Emilio Pucci designs (as opposed to the relaunch of the Pucci label under his daughter's direction). Prices start at $150.

You can get in on the action where ever you happen to be when the sale begins -- the office, at home, on the street -- if you have an iPhone. Yoox.com's new mobile app will offer users the opportunity to purchase the goods on the go.

Cat Deeley's Vintage Addiction

Filed under: Celebrities with Style



Cat Deeley, the fashionably funky host of "So You Think You Can Dance," is gearing up for Season Five, and in her interview with AOL Television, she spills the beans on her "ridiculous outfits" (her words, not ours!).

Deeley says that she has "an awful lot of say" in what she wears on the show, and admits that she wants people "to either love it or hate it; to always have an opinion about it." This year, she'll be fully in charge of her wardrobe, which she explains as "a bit of designer and a little bit of High Street mixed with lots of vintage finds -- my secret addiction is heading out to flea markets and rummaging around, looking for buried treasure."

We've been digging on Deeley's unique style for quite a while, and aren't at all ashamed to admit that half the fun of watching the show is checking out what the leggy blonde wears. Tonight's premiere can't come soon enough!

We are so jealous of Rachel Sarnoff from EcoStiletto, the super-fun and stylish site all about easy ways to be fabulous and eco-friendly. The site has Rachel's new interview with one of our style heroines, the divine Dita Von Teese. They chatted about Dita's attention-getting vintage wardrobe, fashion icons, young Hollywood style, and her thoughts on being an "accidental ecoista."

Despite Dita's frenetic pace – she just got back from a star turn in Paris at renowned Crazy Horse theater, has two new burlesque shows in the works and a book coming out with famed photographer Sheryl Nields -- she is always turned out in impeccable vintage style, including her signature cinched-waist designer frocks.

It's the glamour – plus the frequently friendlier price tags – of vintage that have always appealed to Dita. One thing she hadn't considered? The green angle of vintage.

Nashville Star - Karen Elson's Vintage Boutique

Filed under: Stores We Love, Vintage and Retro

venus and mars
Many clothing store shop girls probably dream about being a supermodel, but how many supermodels dream about being a shop girl?

Karen Elson did. In her career, the flame-haired beauty has been a face of Yves Saint Lauren, Chanel, Burberry, Vuitton, Versace and more. But having nabbed the rock star hubby (Jack White from the White Stripes) and settled down in Nashville, Elson and her partner Amy Patterson turned their attention to creating Venus and Mars: The Showroom, a hip men's and women's vintage boutique.

(The store has an official web site on which not much happens; in true hipster form it's better to head to its MySpace page to find out what's going on. Here you will learn that the store is 95, single, and also a Scorpio.)

Scarlett Johansson (or should we say Reynolds?) looked every bit the bombshell in this stunning body-hugging, lace induced little black dress.

Scarlett looks every bit the lady and you can too!
