There’s a huge amount of heat emanating from Park City Utah right now – who knew icy snow covered mountain slopes could handle so much Hollywood heat? Katie Holmes is in town, and leave it to this fashionista to be wearing a Derek Lam-designed JP Tod’s black down jacket and Tod’s Aspen boots. The look might appear casual – but it’s nothing if not designer generated! Katie’s been hanging out with pals Josh and Fergie at Sundance, Fergie in the popular fur vest look. Even L.A.’s brow queen Anastasia was waxing brows in her ski Chanel outfits, in the Gen Art Lounge. Over at Fred Segal Fun, the premiere shopping destination at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, celebrities, musicians and pro-athletes came together at the Village at The Yard for the second year in a row. The lounge offered celebrities and VIP’s access to some of the most exclusive and sought-after brands in the country. In addition, for each item given away, a donation will be made to a not-for-profit Sundance Institute. Celebrity attendees were an amazing array of names like America Fererra, Jessica Alba, Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, Kate Mara, Simon Rex, Rebecca Hall, John Legend, Terrell Owens, Wilmer Valderrama, Malin Ackerman, Donovan Leitch, The Fray, Ian Ziering, Shane West, Aaron Rogers, Kareem Abdul Jabar, Lisa Edelstein, Josh Radnor, Kelly Monaco, Leah Thompson, Ricki Lake, Marisa Tomei, Tilda Swinton, Kerry Washington, and Joan Rivers.
And here’s an amazing announcement that came from the Creative Coalition today: “Rain Man” and “Diner” and “Wag the Dog” director Barry Levinson will collaborate with the CC to make a major documentary on America’s obesity issue. This is an amazing topic. And if that weren’t enough ski fashion/beauty news, Emilio Pucci is opening a pop up store in Aspen Colorado, selling Pucci collections of course, Pucci ski wear. Emilio Pucci actually started his collections in 1947 when he made ski wear for the mountains of Switzerland.

We’ve been telling you the Emilio Pucci, which is what Pucci is being called now – under designer Peter Dundas – is hot, hot, hot. So hot, in fact, that Fergie wore this silver blue-ish mesh wrapped burn out long sleeved mini by Pucci resort to ring in the New Year in Times Square. And while the rest of New York City was shivering its buns off in giant furs on New Year’s Eve, here’s Fergie onstage, letting it all hang out with no coat or fur or anything – and with full leg exposure! Well, you gotta love it. Here’s a look at the dress as it was shown on the runway for resort, and expect to see a lot of resort looks – where are shorter collections, with less looks – turning up from now till February or March, when spring looks really kick in.

One would hate to be standing next to Nicole Kidman in a fashion competition. The Oscar winning actress has proved again and again that when it comes to fashion, she’s in a class by herself. Even in a cast of femmes as provocative as the cast of “Nine,” Nicole rules. Sure, Penelope Cruz can look amazing, she’s got the goods – but she inevitably almost always wears something simple and black. That’s not a negative – unless you’re standing next to Nicole Kidman, who’s in an amazing shade of dusty rose, with a small feathery cape in the same shade over it. Even Fergie in her tiny cut out dress, super sexy, dulls in comparison to Nicole. So that’s the story, ladies. Black is fabulous for looking slim -and color is what to do when you want to stand out! Meanwhile, where was Kate Hudson? She was in New York, shooting the David Letterman Show – in this chic black tuxedo coat and killer legs.

If you’ve seen the Black Eyed Peas’ new video, “Meet Me Halfway,” you might be wondering what that semi-nude dress is that looks like it practically got painted onto Fergie. Well, it’s a nude skintight emballished side-slit gown by Alberta Ferretti – and it’s so skintone that it looks like Fergie is only wearing some shiney jewels – and that’s the point, really, isn’t it? It is nice to see Fergie wearing something other than her usual black mini.

Canadian-by-way-of-Milan, designers extraordinaire Dean and Dan Caten – the DSquared twins – are really moving into other media. They’ve already appeared on camera in major client Fergie’s video for “Clumsy,” and now it’s been announced they’ll do a show for Sirius Radio, their BPM satellite channel. Turns out, they’re heavily influenced by music – not that surprising since they dress Fergie, Lady Gaga and did the costumes for Britney Spears’ recent tour – and mix and choose all the music for their own runway extravaganzas, both for their mens and womens’ collections. The Sirius monthly show is called “Dean and Dan on Air: Style in Stereo, and they’ll explain their runway music, then talk, then more music. It should be a nice mix of music and style, which we’ve never heard on the radio.

This is all part of the DSquared invasion of America. The twin designers, best known for killer jeans and t shirts, are in Saks Fifth Avenue in the US, but have 500 stores in Europe. They just launched their new eyewear at the Cannes Film Festival with a big international style, and it’s already been announced they’ll host a fashion competion show for Bravo in the fall. And of course, their Milan men’s runway show will take place the third week of June – look for some American male celebs to “surprisingly” show up in the audience!

Now, how you tell twin voices apart on the radio, we’re not sure – but they’re both wildly entertaining, so it may not matter!

Miami does a have a fair amount of fashion activity in that town – but usually, it’s related to bathing suits. Well, this week initiated the first Rock Fashion Week Miami Beach. The whole idea was to have emerging designers showcase progresive new collections, which they did. But what would the whole shebang be without some rock stars? Somehow, the organizers arranged to have Fergie celebrate her 34th birthday at the event (how? they paid her, that’s how), with husband Josh Duhamel, Eva Longoria Parker, the Black Eyed Peas, Pam Anderson, and New York fashion designer Richie Rich. The Peas will be spinning, and Richie Rich and b Michael will show clothes. It’s all at the Fountainblea Hotel in Miami Beach – oh, and by the way, the Black Eyed Peas have a new album out June 9 called “The E.N.D.” – and of course, Fergie’s on it. belting it out. So the whole thing makes a little more sense – they’ll be debuting their new album there. But it’s cool that there’s a fashion crossover there.

Fergie – the new spokeswoman for MAC’s Viva Glam VI lipstick – with all its proceeds going to charities for victims of HIV Aids – stepped out at a press conference for her new ads (we’ve included a pic from the upcoming campaign, which is fantastical and fun) – in some CRAZY shoes – the wildest ones we’ve seen, in a season of wild wild shoes. They’re the Jimmy Choo “Fire” suede gladiator sandals in screaming fire engine red – looking chic with a simple black dress. Red sandals for spring can make your whole wardrobe – tan clothes, black clothes, grey clothes – look more warm-weather. But DON’T wear them with red toe polish – that is what you call gilding the

Viva Glam lipstick has a long history – with ladies like Dita von Teese, Christina Aguilera, kd lang, and even diva Rupaul – posing for the histortic campaign. The lipstick shade has made many millions for AIDS charities. Long may it keep selling.

 

In the midst of all the Golden Globe madness, the wedding of Fergie (Stacy Ferguson) of the Black Eyed Peas and actor Josh Duhamel, which happened on Saturday night, was rather downplayed in the media. However, we learned she wore a very sexy Dolce & Gabbana tight white gown, while her bridesmaids – ten in all – all wore black. That’s one way to stand out. – Merle Ginsberg

Stacy Ferguson – aka “Fergie” of “The Duchess” fame and The Black Eyed Peas – is, like many of her female pop star peers – becoming a designer. But not of jewelry. Not of handbags. Not of perfume. Not of tracksuits. And definitely NOT of hair extentions, like Jessica Simpson. Fergie is hard at work, creating a line of shoes with Browns stores across the country. She’s studying up right now on the looks she loves and will have a line out in the Browns stores this spring 09. And somehow, we have the feeling these shoes are going to have HIGH high heels.

Will they look like Paris Hilton’s shoe line – or Jessica Simpson’s? Let’s hope they’re a little more “alicious” than that, please.
