Beauty Byte: Kate Moss Kicks Off Her Fragrance

BellaSugar — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 15:11:19 PDT

Kate Moss really is everywhere lately, jetting from the Topshop offices in London earlier this week to a hip soiree in Morocco yesterday. According to Women's Wear Daily, supermodel Moss was in Marrakesh to celebrate her fragrance, called Kate, which we first heard about in December. The signature scent hits the European and Asian markets in September. The scent will roll out in U.S. stores in 2008.

WWD spoke with Bernd Beetz, CEO of Coty, the license holder for the fragrance. (Is it just me, or does Coty handle pretty much every celebrity scent?) According to the story:

The beauty giant aims to capitalize on the wide-ranging appeal that has kept Moss the toast of the fashion set and a household name for two decades.

“[We will] tap into consumer groups that we haven’t tapped into before,” said Bernd Beetz, chief executive officer of Coty, who added the company is building its portfolio on fashion-, designer- and celebrity-oriented pillars. “[Moss] overlaps fashion and celebrity.”

Classified as a floral musk and clad in pink-and-black packaging, Kate will cost about $27 to $60, depending on the size. Not surprisingly, Moss herself will appear in the ads for the product. Will you buy the eau de Kate?

Kate Middleton Continues Her Liverpool Tour at a Children's Hospital

Allie Merriam — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:26:10 PST

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was in Liverpool today for her second-ever day of official appearances on her own. She started things off with a visit to the alcohol-free bar The Brink, where she sampled a honey and almond smoothie christened "The Duchess" in her honor. Kate was next off to the Alder Hey Children’s hospital, where she met with young patients in the oncology section. She watched as they made Valentine's cards, some of which featured pictures of the royal couple! Kate actually visited the facility last February as well with Prince William by her side. At the moment, however, William is across the Atlantic stationed in the Falklands. He's into his second week of a month-and-a-half-long deployment with a Royal Air Force search and rescue squad.

Kate's schedule isn't slowing down any time soon. Her next outing will be on Feb. 21 at the charity The Art Room, and the first week of March will see her attending events alongside her grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, and stepmother-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

Kate Middleton Heads to Liverpool For Her Latest Solo Stop

Allie Merriam — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:47:35 PST

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, embarked on her second-ever solo official visit this morning. Kate wore a brown coat from Hobbs in English city of Liverpool to stop by The Brink, an alcohol-free bar that provides assistance for those suffering from substance abuse. The bartenders even created a smoothie for her called "The Duchess" that includes bananas, almonds, and honey. The organization's vocal group, the Raucous Caucus Recovery Chorus, sang for Kate as well.

Later today, Kate's scheduled to continue her tour of the area with stops by Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Ronald McDonald House. Last week, Kate Middleton went to the National Portrait Gallery, a museum of which she is a patron, to see their new Lucian Freud exhibit. She's making appearances alone while her husband, Prince William, serves with the Royal Air Force in the Falklands. It's their first Valentine's Day as husband and wife, but Kate and William are choosing to spend the holiday serving their country.

How Sports Illustrated Cover Girl Kate Upton Stays Healthy and Fit

Michele Foley — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:48:16 PST

After being named the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition's "Rookie of the Year" in 2011, Kate Upton is this year's cover girl! The five-time equestrian champion has showed off her curves in campaigns for big names like Guess, Victoria's Secret, and Dooney & Burke. On being fit, Kate told The Daily, "It's really important to stay slim for the industry . . . but you still want to have a body." Here's the scoop on how Kate maintains her model curves.

Kate's fitness regimen: Like many of the industry's top models, Kate trains with former competitive swimmer Justin Gelband. Justin told Shape that he "incorporates multidirectional exercises" into Kate's training sessions. To keep things fresh, Justin changes up the types of workouts he and Kate do together (Pilates and kickboxing are favorites) and uses a variety of equipment like medicine balls and exercise bands.
Kate's diet: For Kate, it's all about living a healthy lifestyle. Kate has said in several interviews that it's important for her to watch what she eats, but she doesn't go on any sort of special diet to prepare for a shoot or runway show. Her splurge? The occasional treat of ice cream or french fries.

Kate Spade has declared February to be the month of Japanese floral - specifically, the month of Florence Broadhurst's delicious Japanese floral pattern, seen in these photos. Broadhurst is experiencing a well-deserved revival at the moment, with rugs produced through Cadrys, wallpapers decking out fashionable homes and shops, and this collection with Kate Spade, to name just a few.
When you decorate your home, does fashion play into it in any way? Do you follow the rule that you should use your wardrobe as a reference when it comes to choosing the colors for your home? Or do you incorporate patterns from companies such as Marimekko that create textiles for both home and apparel?

Lauren Turner — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:34:40 PST

Kate Hudson and her son Ryder hopped on their bikes near the beach in Santa Monica yesterday. Ryder sported sunglasses and a helmet while Kate covered up in a hat as they rode around side by side. It was just the latest sunny outing for Kate following a getaway to Mexico earlier this month. Kate's bikini body was on display as she lounged poolside with fiancé Matthew Bellamy, who soaked up the rays while wearing a bathrobe. 2012 hasn't been just about downtime for Kate, though, since she participated in a live reading of her mom Goldie Hawn's movie Shampoo with Bradley Cooper last month and is gearing up to start shooting a new film, Everly, this Spring.
