Who ya gunna call? Savoy’s Hotline!

Savoy

Savoy Hotline

If you haven’t heard of the EDM subgenre Lovestep yet, do me a favor: 1) Go to Soundcloud.com 2) Follow Savoy. So, what is lovestep?

Well, I have the answer from the founding fathers, Savoy, by just giving them a call. The guys told me, all that’s required is a melodic baseline that basically makes you wanna get it on. They asked me if I “concurred.” I said “Yep!” and proceeded to giggle.

Enter the power of Twitter…

Not sure if I’m famous, but it was a nice ego boost ;) In conclusion, I’m giving Savoy 5 stars for their efforts to reach fans. It’s VERY important to foster those relationships early on and Savoy has it down perfectly.

Want to give them a call too? Here’s the number: 321-8-SAVOY-8. Remember, only call the number when they say it’s open. Check their Facebook and Twitter @SAVOY for the latest.

Style Media Names Model/Designer Erin Wasson as a Mentor On New Fashion Competition Series “Styled to Rock”

Style Media announced that model, actress, designer, and my spirit animal ;) Erin Wasson will serve as the second mentor on “Styled to Rock,” the new reality competition series from executive producer Rihanna that searches for the next trendsetting designer.

Wasson joins previously announced mentor Pharrell Williams to guide 12 up-and-coming designers as they embark on the opportunity of a lifetime—to dress some of the biggest names in entertainment. “Styled to Rock” is slated to premiere later this year.

“We could not have asked for a better addition to our team.  As a leading model and mainstay in the fashion industry, Erin’s unapologetic approach to fashion and free-spirited style will give the “Styled to Rock “designers invaluable insight,” said Salaam Coleman Smith, President, Style Media. “With Rihanna as executive producer and Pharrell and Erin as mentors, our designers will gain incredible experience while also being challenged in new ways as they compete to earn the title of America’s next trendsetting designer.”

“Styled to Rock” provides 12 up-and-coming designers the coveted opportunity to dress some of the biggest names in entertainment. Each week, challenges will push the designers to their creative limits when they are tasked with styling an A-list star. The celebrity guest-of-the-week will decide which designer best achieves their vision – and advances to the next level of competition. Faced with the threat of elimination, the remaining designers must meet with the three mentors to discuss where they fell short and ultimately, who will be sent home. In the end, one designer will be named the winner of “Styled to Rock.”

Texas native Erin Wasson is a model, designer, entrepreneur and actress who is considered one of modeling’s “blue chip” faces. Her prolific career has countless highlights, from gracing the covers of numerous magazines, including the French, German, Spanish and Australian editions of Vogue, to shooting with renowned photographers Steven Meisel, Mario Testino, Patrick Demarchelier and Ellen von Unwerth, among others, to walking runways for every important European fashion house, including Chanel, Gucci, Lanvin and Balenciaga. Her low-key and free-spirited sense of style has inspired many, and Wasson served as muse, and then stylist, for CFDA Award winner and designer Alexander Wang.  In 2008, Wasson made the natural leap to designer, kicking off a three-season apparel collaboration with storied skate-and-surf brand RVCA and launching her own line of jewelry, Low Luv, which currently is sold at more than 200 stores worldwide. In fall 2011, she returned to the studio to design a capsule collection for French brand Zadig & Voltaire. Wasson also appeared alongside Justin Timberlake in a series of short films for the William Rast brand and made a cameo appearance in Sofia Coppola’s “Somewhere.” Most recently, Wasson was featured as a leading role in Timur Bekmambetov’s “Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.” Uniquely versatile and notoriously hard-working, she spends much of her free time traveling and working in support of animal rescue and serves on the advisory board of Saving America’s Mustangs.

“Styled to Rock” is executive produced by Robyn Rihanna Fenty and is produced by Shed Media US, Overbrook Entertainment and Marcy Media Films. Nick Emmerson, Pam Healey and Dan Peirson of Shed Media US and James Lassiter of Overbook Entertainment also serve as executive producers. Sarah Weidman and Merah Chung executive produce the series for Style.

September Issue: Glamour’s First-Ever Full Fashion Issue

1 Aug
 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Glamour‘s first-ever Full-On Fashion Issue has arrived. The September issue features fashion on every single page, and also introduces its first-ever guest editor….Victoria Beckham. Victoria worked closely with Glamour‘s Cindi Leive to create this special issue, and you can see her mark everywhere.

She also opens up to Glamour about her work, her marriage, how she reinvented her life…and why she’d never say never to having another baby. Glamour’s September issue will be available on newsstands nationwide and digitally (iPad, Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Color) on August 7.

And check out Victoria’s Twitter feed, @victoriabeckham. She is releasing an exclusive never before seen photo from her cover shoot and the below behind-the-scenes video about the making of the September issue (#makingsept) via Twitter.

Here is a preview of what Victoria shared with Glamourhttp://glmr.me/MZlhTa

Victoria on guest editing the September issue…

·      It’s been exciting for me to see my ideas come to life, from type colors to photo selection to casting. I even made my own list of Glamour fashion Don’ts to keep out of the issue: boat shoes (unless of course you’re designer Alber Elbaz or on a boat!), Bermuda shorts, nose rings, Crocs, and American tan tights (that’s nude pantyhose to you).

On why she is never seen smiling…

·      Do you know, I don’t know?! I actually used to smile a lot in pictures. I think I only stopped smiling when I got into fashion. [Laughs.] Fashion stole my smile! I’ve created this person. And I’m not saying that’s not me, but I wouldn’t say that’s the whole me…. It’s an armor that goes up.”

 

On reading 50 Shades of Grey…

·      I’m halfway through the second one. I even bought my mum the book! But every time she tries to engage in conversation about it, I kind of dodge the subject. I don’t really want to talk to my mother about S&M.”

On her husband, David, coming to see her fashion show in New York this past season…

·      It was the first time! He’s always been working or training. But I was nervous about this show. I was feeling a lot of pressure. He phoned me the night before, and I just said, “I want you to come be with me. I want a cuddle. I really do.” And it was great to have him there. I think he was surprised; I don’t usually bother him with much detail. And then you get there, and the models, the hair, the makeup…I think he was blown away!”

On where she sees herself and her family in 5 years…

·      I’d like everybody to be healthy and happy. I’d like to be growing the business at a steady pace, and to be making more women feel empowered, beautiful, and confident. And I’d never say never about another baby. It’s a juggling act—a career, family, a husband who’s busy. But I’d never say never!”

Fashion/Photo Credits: Photographed by Pamela Hanson in Beverly Hills, Victoria Beckham wears a Stephen Russell platinum, diamond, and sapphire tiara and Martin Katz diamond and white gold bracelet on the cover. In her bonus cover look seen inside, Victoria wears a Lover top, Dolce & Gabbana bra and briefs, Victoria Beckham belt, and Harry Winston bracelet. Poised at her desk, she wears a Victoria Beckham dress.

5 Jun

The former Dancing With the Stars darling’s career is moving fast with one of the hottest movie of the summer, Rock of Ages, in theaters June 15th. Now, Julianne Hough shows off her “glam rock” look, talks to Glamour about Ryan Seacrest, Tom Cruise, and triumphing over her past. Glamour’s June issue is available on newsstands and digitally (iPad, Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Color) nationwide on June 12th.

Here’s where Glamour has integrated music and social into their July issue: they teamed up with Spotify to incorporate playlists throughout the magazine, glamour.com and on the iPad edition. The playlists have been handpicked by their editors, a celebrity trainer and even cover star, Julianne Hough. Spotify represents the “Hear It” portion of their “Five Senses of Summer” issue and will serve as the soundtrack to the issue…more importantly, Glamour is the first woman’s magazine to fully integrate Spotify across all of its platforms — pretty awesome! To dance along to Julianne’s Rock of Ages themed playlist, click here:http://www.glamour.com/spotify

Want the cover look? Photographed by Ellen von Unwerth in New York City, Julianne Hough appears on Glamour’s July cover wearing a Zadig & Voltaire jacket and shorts, an Arizona tank, Fallon earrings, a Pomellato necklace, Lynn Ban bangles, a Jessie Lane bracelet and a Loree Rodkin ring. Inside the issue, Julianne hits the stage in a Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit, a Kevork Kiledjian jacket, Fallon earrings, Loree Rodkin and Jacqueline Nerguizian rings, Lynn Ban bangles, a Jessie Lane bracelet and Brian Atwood pumps; she ‘rocks on’ wearing an OMO Norma Kamali bra top, Pierre Balmain pants, Wilfredo Rosado earrings, Lynn Ban and Melinda Maria bangles, Loree Rodkin and Jacqueline Nerguizian rings, a Melinda Marie cuff and a Maison Scotch belt; and lastly, Julianne poses in A-Morir sunglasses wearing a Pierre Balmain shirt and shorts, a Melinda Maria pyramid bangle and Lynn Ban square bangles.

Check out this excerpt from her interview:

GLAMOUR: There’s a scene in the movie where Tom Cruise holds your breast. What was that like?

JH: That was my first scene with him! I was nervous as all get-out, but after every take he high-fived me and was like, “That was awesome.” At one point on the movie, I got really hurt—I tweaked my neck and was in so much pain. And everyone was pressuring me to keep shooting, but Tom came in and said, “No, this is what insurance is for, Julianne. You have the rest of your career. You need to take care of yourself!” And I thought, Tom Cruise cares about me! Now I can cry.

GLAMOUR: What kind of prep did you have to do?

JH: Diego [Boneta] and I were known as the kids on the set. It was kind of a rock-star camp. We did vocal lessons every day. We had dance lessons. We had Rollerblading lessons. It was fun to be able to go back and be coached.

GLAMOUR: Are you competitive?

JH: Yes, about everything. It gets silly. Ryan and I are very alike. When we work out with a trainer, we’ll die before we stop, like, to the point where we can’t breathe.

GLAMOUR: Is the age difference between you two an issue? You’re 24, and he’s 37.

JH: No, but he’s always joking about it.

GLAMOUR: How did you meet?

JH: Well, when I first came to L.A., someone actually tried to set us up, but I was engaged to someone else, a guy I knew from Utah who had served a Mormon mission.

GLAMOUR: What happened with that?

JH: He was a great guy—I’d known him since I was nine. But I needed to figure myself out more, and so I moved to L.A. and we ended it. And actually, he ended up marrying my childhood best friend, and now they have a kid together. It was a little weird when it happened, but they’re a great couple!

GLAMOUR: So did you date Ryan soon after?

JH: I had another boyfriend, Chuck Wicks, whom I met on Dancing With the Stars. While we were dating, we went on Ryan’s radio show together. The interview’s on YouTube, and I blush when I hear it because Ryan is hitting on me the entire time! At the end, Ryan said something like, “You guys really have something special!” And I thought to myself, He’s so full of s–t right now! When Chuck and I broke up, I wanted to be single. That lasted five months. Then Ryan and I went on a date.

GLAMOUR: What drew you to him?

JH: I think it’s that similarity I was talking about before. We both like that perfection in ourselves, and we want to make our relationship like that.

GLAMOUR: Do you miss dancing?

JH: Oh my gosh, yes, just for the sheer fact that I could eat whatever I wanted and didn’t have to go to the gym.

GLAMOUR: You’ve been working pretty much nonstop since you landed Dancing With the Stars.

JH: I’m a very anxious person. If I’m not working, I go crazy. I’ve been lucky in my career. But if I lost everything tomorrow—and had no money—I would somehow make it work. I have that survivor mentality because of a lot of stuff that went on in a previous life. I feel like I’ve had four lives.
