Moms-to-be look glamorous in Loved by Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum wears many hats—supermodel, mother, executive producer, and fashion expert on Project Runway. After the pregnancies and several seasons of top-selling collections at Motherhood and A Pea in the Pod stores, Heidi knows what an expectant mom needs to look fantastic during her pregnancy.

The Spring 2012 collection of Loved by Heidi Klum, arriving in Motherhood stores in April, is inspired by Heidi's visits to her favorite hotel on the French Riviera, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. There, Heidi envisions expectant moms wearing the casual elegance of her dark, skinny jeans paired with her trendy knit tops in black, white, and fresh neutrals with touches of red and gold embellishment. 

Heidi's boldly-striped, loose fitting dress takes the mom-to-be from a spa lunch to a busy day of sightseeing. Dressier slacks and tops for evening round out the 19-piece collection that will be available in stores and online.

"Heidi Klum makes pregnancy glamorous and fashionable. Her style is fun and still practical. This new collection offers moms-to-be a chic look at an attainable price during this exciting time of their lives," said Chris Daniel, President of Destination Maternity Corporation, parent company of Motherhood Maternity.

Supermodel Karen Elson Takes Tumble At British Fashion Awards

Karen Elson, the British supermodel, stepped onto the catwalk and into fashion history at the British Fashion Awards gala in London last night.

 

Elson, 30, the flame-haired “discovery” from Oldham, Manchester, who has become a global fashion star, arrived on the stage at the Royal Courts of Justice to present the Fashion Creator award – and seconds later disappeared.

She walked straight into an ill-concealed “orchestra pit” and promptly disappeared from sight.

All the audience of fashion luminaries, including Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham, saw was a flash of Elson’s red velvet, Alexander McQueen fishtail gown, as she tumbled four feet downwards into the darkness.

Elson, who is the wife of The White Stripes frontman, Jack White, with whom she has a daughter and son, made a miraculous recovery.

She appeared, back on stage, within minutes, declaring:”I am the clumsiest person on this earth. I cannot believe I just did that.

"That is the worst fall I have ever had. I might have broken a rib, but I’m fine.”

Elson, a former winner of the British Model of the Year fashion “oscar”, went on to present The Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator to the creative director of American Vogue, the British-born Grace Coddington, who emerged as the “star” of the recent ‘frockumentary, “The September Issue".

The incident revived memories of Naomi Campbell's wipeout during Vivienne Westwood's 1993 Anglomania show after attempting to walk in 10 inch heels.

One onlooker said: "It was a spectacular fall from grace but she handled it well."

Other award winners at the industry "Oscars" included Christopher Bailey, who was named ‘Designer of the Year’ for turning heritage brand, Burberry, into a global luxury label, and Georgia May Jagger, the 17-year-old daughter of the Rolling Stone Sir Mick Jagger, who was named ‘Model of the Year’, following her international success as the “face” of Hudson Jeans and the Versace spring/summer 2010 campaign.

Naomi Campbell At Racism In Fashion World

Supermodel Naomi Campbell lashed out Friday at what she sees as latent racism in the fashion industry, which she said gives preference to "blond, blue-eyed models" over black women.


"You know, the American president may be black, but as a black woman, I am still an exception in this business. I always have to work harder to be treated equally," she said in a Glamour interview appearing on Monday in Germany.

"In the past, there were more opportunities for black models but the trend towards blond women has again become extreme. In magazines, on the catwalk, I see blond, blue-eyed models everywhere," she added.

In 2007, the London-born Campbell, along with fellow models Liya Kebede and Tyson Beckford, launched a campaign against what they said was discrimination in the fashion world.
