Former British glamour model, entrepreneur and best-selling author Katie Price has been garnering a lot of public interest lately following the launch of her latest book titled “Paradise.” This week, she was seen at her sexy glory once more in the premiere night of the film “The Expendables” in United Kingdom. The film stars a number of high profile action stars in Hollywood such as Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The reality television star was strutting her stuff at the red carpet in an almost see-through black dress that could pass off as a lingerie last Monday. She paired it off with black lingerie heels stockings which looks tight and further accentuated her curvy body.
Last week during the launch of her book, Price wore a sexy lingerie top with the word “Paradise” emblazoned across her rather generous breasts.

It’s the time of the year where we come up with the hard to achieve resolution of losing weight. However, we can always resolve to improve our fashion to accentuate our body’s assets rather than liabilities. Wearing good underwear is essential and getting a good fit in the bra size really makes a difference.

Here are some cool fashion tips that you can use for the New Year without as much as breaking a sweat:

•    Break away from the all-black outfit. Although this has always been the most effective trick in visual slimming, it can be extremely hot as well especially if the weather is warm. Good thing is that fashion experts stated that you can go for navy blue, gray or other neutral colors and still create the same slimming effect on your frame. Just as long as the same color is worn from head to toe.

•    The now-famous item called Spanx. This shape wear brand has gained popularity in the United States, thanks to the powerful endorsements of celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Oprah.

Britain-based fashion label Luella has reportedly stopped trading after the company’s sudden closure last month due to the financial crisis.

According to reports, the company owned by British fashion designer Luella Bartley stopped trading after the producer of its ready to wear line which included clothing as well as undergarments such as lingerie stopped its operations and the company’s main investor stopped sending in the money. This development was reported by Reuters.

The fashion line has garnered popularity through the years since popular model Kate Moss and singer Lily Allen have been seen wearing the line in numerous occasions, thus boosting sales.

Bartley won the Designer of the Year award in the prestigious British Fashion Awards last year.

In a statement, Bartley said that she was extremely disappointed with the outcome of her 10-year old company but added that she has a lot of options open for the future and will announce her decision in the coming months.

At five feet ten inches and weighing 120 pounds, fashion model Filippa Hamilton can be considered perfect for her job. However, the model alleged that she got fired from fashion house Ralph Lauren earlier this year because she was considered “overweight.” This issue came out after the model revealed the allegations to the media.

In an interview, Hamilton said that she could no longer fit in the designer clothes being sent to her which prompted the executives to give her the boot.

Fuelling this issue was the emergence of a Ralph Lauren Blue Label advertisement in which she appeared to recently. The photo, which circulated online and was released in Japan, featured Hamilton in what is perceived to be heavily edited photograph.

The photo showed a really thin Hamilton wearing the designer clothes and lingerie.

Ralph Lauren maintained that they don’t have anything to do with the alteration but eventually admitted the allegations and released a statement of apology.

The much-awaited New York Fashion Week takes place next week at the heart of one of the world’s fashion capital and designers are prepared to reveal their Spring 2010 lineups.

Leading fashion magazine editors, celebrities and fashion designers are expected to be billeted and seated at the audience areas as newest designs are flaunted by the models on the catwalk. The biggest fashion houses such as DKNY, Diane Von Furstenberg, BCBG, Michael Kors and Ralph Lauren are expected to lend their support in this undertaking.

However, the global financial crisis has an effect in this grand event. According to reports, there are now lesser invitations being sent to individuals and that the giveaways will be noticeably lesser compared to the prior years. Despite these adjustments, the fashion week show is as grand as ever with fashion industry players proving that financial challenges are just part of this glamorous business. There will be a complete range of fashion items from clothing to lingerie and shoes.
