FASHION DILEMMA
Fashion designers on Twitter - a good thing?

Was the world a darker place before Twitter? Fashion Statement thinks so. The website has opened up a whole new world for us and suddenly there is drama in our lives where before there was only a black pit of despair. We were the first to know when Perez Hilton allegedly (no libel case for us) got smacked in the face by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. As Perez tweeted:

I was assaulted by Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas and his security guards. I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke.

We wondered why the police weren't following him (on Twitter, obviously) as dialling 911 was evidently so 2008 darling.

Then there's British wunderkind Henry Holland, who last week finally reached the dizzying heights of celebrity stardom and informed us all about it via a tweet:

So i just got a FREE Nandos for a whole year card. Jealous much?!

Words cannot describe the shade of green we have turned.

In the last few weeks, though, Twitter has made its move into high fashion. Long-established designer Stephano Gabbana, of Dolce and Gabbana, has been demonstrating an impressive grasp of modern technology to give us a thrilling insight into the world of a top Milan fashion house. On November 8 came his first hilarious diva moment:

Dinner...i would like green salad & fish!

as if he expected thousands of his followers to drop their Blackberrys and rustle him up a a nice poached trout with rocket. So demanding.

Then, just a few days later, we learned about his understated sense of style:

I just order a new vespa!!!!!! :-) love

... and a little later,

I like gold or Leopard print 4 my new vespa....

We also learned that the designer has an impressive gift for stating the obvious:

2day its very november in Milano..

This tweet was posted on November 13.

Thrillingly, it now seems that Stephano is using Twitter to help along the design process, ostensibly by asking his followers to do it for him:

I accept suggestions on women's collection.....(just 2day) :-))))

Kate Moss

Ive just seen this article in the Sun and think its the perfect example of the minds set of models today It is a quite serious issue as she is such an in fluential model so really should have thought about this mantra being said as it is also seen on pro anorexia sites

KATE MOSS was last night accused of sabotaging the war on teen girls being driven to anorexia - by plugging a slogan encouraging them NOT to eat.
Campaigners against the cult of "Size Zero" were horrified as she was asked for her motto and the supermodel declared: "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
The saying - trumpeted by the Brit beauty in a rare interview - is followed by millions of anorexics and bulimia sufferers worldwide.
Impact
Kate, 35 - idolised by impressionable youngsters for her waif-like figure - later tried to qualify her disturbing remark, saying: "You try and remember, but it never works."
But crusaders for a BAN on teen magazines carrying ads showing shockingly thin models were outraged.
Ex-Ultimo girl KATIE GREEN - who four months ago joined Lib Dem MP LEMBIT OPIK to launch Say No To Size Zero - fumed: "There are 1.1million eating disorders in the UK alone. Kate Moss's comments are likely to cause many more.
"If you read any of the pro-anorexia websites they go crazy for quotes like these."
Among those that use it is one called Starving For Control.

Katie, 22, a curvy Size 12 who claims she was branded TOO FAT by a top modelling agency, raged: "Millions of girls aspire to be like Kate Moss. These comments are shocking and irresponsible."
TV's DENISE VAN OUTEN stormed: "Kate Moss is talking out of her Size Zero backside."
The pregnant presenter, 35, insisted: "Having been in the industry for so long, she knows the impact her comment will have on vulnerable young women."
She warned women against starving themselves, vowing: "After I have my baby I'll lose weight through healthy eating and exercise. The sensible way."
Croydon-born Kate, who has been dogged by claims she is a coke-head, made her comments online as she was interviewed on fashion industry website WWD.

Chilling ... Size Zero model
Asked if she had any mottos, Kate - mum to seven-year-old LILA GRACE - replied: "There are loads.
"There's 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. That's one of them."
The phrase is believed to have been coined by some early WeightWatchers members - before being hijacked by websites pandering to girls who starve themselves.
Last night Kate was unavailable for comment.
SUN DOCTOR CAROL COOPER writes: This "motto" hits completely the wrong notes for people out there who will swallow everything Moss says.
She is no role model. She is a dire warning.
She may look good now, but in ten years she will be haggard, wrinkly and on the way to osteoporosis. Read more: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/2735440/Kate-Moss-reveals-her-life-motto-Nothing-tastes-as-good-as-skinny-feels.html#ixzz0XJNvPYyq
