Versace | Men's Spring & Summer 2013 collection unveiled. See the photos & video

Whenever Versace unveils a collection, it is always a feast for the eyes. The colors, the details, the patterns, the ornate fabric, and of course THE MEN!

The house of Versace knows very well that aside from the designs, their collections have to be on Greek God looking models who can deliberately hypnotize everyone into applauding endlessly. Hahaha! Who wouldn't?

Oh well, here's the Versace Spring+Summer 2013 collection! Enjoy! Toink! :o)

Preview Magazine goes That's Entertainment in May issue!

How strange that yesterday, I was just tweeting "I wonder where Melisa Silvano and Marilyn Villamayor are?" Stars of the past but were part of a huge teen show called That's Entertainment who helped give careers to young aspiring personalities like Michael Locsin, Fatima Alvir, Michael Gonzales, Jovit Moya and sooooo many more!

And now, here comes Preview with an interesting spread featuring some of the That's stars that were luckier and got bigger breaks.

Ladies and gents... Sheryl Cruz, Ana Roces, Isabel Granada, Mutya Crisostomo and Shirley Fuentes by Jeanne Young in Editorial for Preview Magazine. Enjoy!

VOGUE Magazine announces age limit for models

VOGUE supports the promotion of healthy body image and announced today that from the June 2012 issues, they will only work with models 16 years old and up. This of course is a policy that they will also apply to all 19 international editions. So, if you are a mature looking 15-year old stunning aspiring model, sorry but VOGUE won't put you on the cover and you will have to try again when you turn 16.

The editors aren't stopping there. The statement also binds fashion's elite to a six-point commitment to promoting healthy body image:

VOGUE says:

1. We will not knowingly work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have an eating disorder. We will work with models who, in our view, are healthy and help to promote a healthy body image.

2. We will ask agents not to knowingly send us underage girls and casting directors to check IDs when casting shoots, shows and campaigns.

3. We will help to structure mentoring programs where more mature models are able to give advice and guidance to younger girls, and we will help to raise industry-wide awareness through education, as has been integral to the Council of Fashion Designers of America Health Initiative.

4. We will encourage producers to create healthy backstage working conditions, including healthy food options and a respect for privacy. We will encourage casting agents not to keep models unreasonably late.

5. We encourage designers to consider the consequences of unrealistically small sample sizes of their clothing, which limits the range of women who can be photographed in their clothes, and encourages the use of extremely thin models.

6. We will be ambassadors for the message of healthy body image.

KATY PERRY | For ghd Scarlet Collection. Gorgeous photos!

"The Show White fire escape look was really cool. It was very peachy. I was wearing a John Galliano dress. David LaChapelle is known for his beautiful, larger-than-life sets, and the people that he works with are very talented – they make the picture look like a billion bucks."

"There were lots of little birds hanging around so I felt like a princess, like Snow White, and I was singing and talking to the birds as they fluttered around me. I would maybe wear something like this again. I liked the glittering fishnets I got to wear with it."

"I liked the hair – it’s super frizzy. I’ve done that type of frizzy hair before for some posters for the MTV Europe Music Awards when I hosted them for the second time – I wore the same kind of frizzy hair. I really liked it."

"The Snow White look is very different for me because it is a very short bob, but we were inspired by the Art Deco era – a bit flapper-y, a bit 40s. The furniture is very Art Deco. I love my nails in it, and my bob that has little curls coming around it. I think it’s a bold look for me, especially for the short hair, but I’ve actually had a pixie cut before. I used to have a black pixie cut when I was about 17, 18, 19, so I felt I was reliving that part of my life again. It’s really cute. I’d probably wear this look again, but I probably wouldn’t do it for long."

...And, on the look that she'd most like to try that she hasn’t already: “I might like trying being a blonde – a long, hippie-esque blonde with black roots. We’ll see."
