First model with Down syndrome in New York Fashion Week

Actress Jamie Brewer, best known for her roles on American Horror Story, appeared Thursday on a catwalk during New York Fashion Week.

Brewer was the first model in the show with Down syndrome.

Brewer wore clothing by designer Carrie Hammer as part of Hammer's "Role Models Not Runway Models" show, a project that invites inspiring women to showcase Hammer's work.

"We feature incredible influential women on the runaway. CEOs, executives, activist, actresses, anyone who is the top of the field, top of their game," Hammer told USA TODAY Network.

"Jamie is an absolute star," Hammer said, adding that the actress is also an activist for people with intellectual disabilities.

All of the women in the show wore clothing designed especially for them.

Brewer played a witch on American Horror Story so Hammer put her in black with an A-line cut. "Jamie has this beautiful figure with a small waist. A-lines really compliment that," Hammer said about the design.

The show took place at Lightbox, a digital arts and events space in New York City.

Brewer tweeted images of herself getting ready Thursday morning:

Prepare For The Mini-Karls - Lagerfeld Announces Kidswear Collection

Glove wearer, sunglass lover, father to Choupette, and now kidswear designer.

That’s right, Karl Lagerfeld has announced that he is launching a clothing line for children, to be unveiled in Spring 2016.

The collection will operate under the designer's own line in collaboration with Groupe CWF, who are already responsible for the childrenswear extensions of Chloé, Burberry, DKNY and Marc Jacobs. 

A statement from the brand said: "The announcement reflects the brand's ongoing commitment to newness and will allow Karl Lagerfeld to share its ironic, playful, creative vision to a young audience

Pier Paolo Righi, CEO and president of the label added: "The Karl Lagerfeld Kidswear collection presents a unique opportunity to share our cool, ironic, iconic DNA with a wider Karl Lagerfeld audience.

"Due to our brand's wide appeal our expansion into the juniors market is a natural fit to further enhance our reach."

                                        A teaser sketch from Karl

The line will include ready-to-wear, and accessories for newborn to 16-year-old girls and boys. We're expecting a lot of monochrome, some Choupette embelishments and of course, some mini gloves. 

We’re also hoping Karl picks his super-cute godson, Hudson Kroenig, to model the bi-annual collection.

Hudson, son of Chanel muse Brad Kroenig, is already well-acquainted with the world of fashion, having walked in various Chanel shows with his dad and Cara Delevingne.

Khloé Kardashian Just Broke The #1 Fashion Week Rule

News of Kanye West’s Adidas Fashion Week show first broke several days ago when a mysterious announcement popped up on Instagram. It didn’t take long for the leaked info to be scrubbed from the Internet — at Kanye's request, we assume — but now it appears that Yeezy is ready to share the news with the masses, even if it is by way of a relative's social media account.

Complex reports that last night Khloé Kardashian Instagrammed a photo of the physical invitation to her brother-in-law’s event, simply captioned: "Yeezy Season." The invite puts all the details out there, including location, time, and news of a performance by the artist Vanessa Beecroft. (Kanye, does this mean that everyone's invited?)

Beecroft is a frequent West collaborator, having worked with him on the imagery for his 2010 “Runaway” video-slash-short film, and, most recently, assisting with the concept for his “Only One” video. Needless to say, this definitely won’t be your average runway show. Now that all of the event information has been spread far and wide (the photo already has over 268,000 likes) we have a feeling there could be thousands fans of showing up to NYFW, hoping to experience Yeezy season, too.

Why it's a terrible idea for women to shave their faces

The Daily Mail’s ‘beauty experts’ say women should add shaving their faces to their skin routine. Here’s why you should ignore them

To shave or not to shave? Plenty of women might consider it daily for their legs, ’pits or pubes, but should we follow the advice of experts gathered by the Daily Mail and start shaving our faces? Absolutely not.

Whether you’re shaving to get rid of a slight ’tache or shaving your entire face to make it softer, regrowth as the result of a razor – compared with waxing, threading and depilatory creams – is a colossal ball-ache. And that’s the issue here: as a beauty editor, ensuring my nails don’t look like chipped micro-daggers, and maintaining my hair, makeup and de-fuzzing routine, is enough beauty admin – more than enough, in fact. Does any woman in the 21st century truly have the time or the inclination to shave her entire face for the sake of slightly softer skin?

In a world that chastises any hint of facial hair in women, having it can be distressing psychologically, which is why some women (in particular, those with polcystic ovary syndrome, which causes hirsutism) already resort to shaving their faces. The use of oral contraceptives to lower the androgen production can help, and creams such as Vaniqa slow down the rate of hair regrowth. Lasers (not IPL, which isn’t anywhere near as effective) are ideal for permanent hair removal, and more effective than shaving.

Skin tone also makes a difference to how much facial hair is visible. Asian hair is larger in diameter than caucasian or afro hair, and it’s more resilient (it has more layers of cuticles, making it stronger and thicker). But it also has a faster regrowth rate, and the myth that it will make your hair grow back thicker and faster persists among south Asians. (It doesn’t – it’s just more blunt at the ends, making it look that way.) Shaving doesn’t – in any way – affect the keratin cells that create the actual hair. Asian women also shed fewer hairs on their bodies than other races, which might make any hirsutism more pronounced.

As for the anti-ageing claims of shaving your face, they’re nonsense. Men have thicker, more youthful-looking skin because male androgens cause an increase in skin thickness of up to 25%, compared with women. Men also produce more sebum, which is oil that keeps the skin moisturised and plumper-looking. Finally, men have a higher density of collagen in their skin than women – which is why women age faster.


The bottom line, then, is that men and women are biologically programmed to age differently. Shaving might exfoliate their skin and supposedly keep it soft, but if you’re already using a washcloth, face brush or exfoliator on top, that’s serious scrubbing already. Shaving is not only inflammatory (causing sensitivity), but it also makes the skin look more papery and thin. Add a five-o’clock shadow to the mix and you’re undeniably causing your skin damage – and that’s ageing. Step away from the razor, ladies – it’s definitely not your friend.

Madonna Flashes Her Butt On The Grammys 2015 Red Carpet

Madonna wore a wacky Givenchy Couture matador costume to the Grammys and she flashed her toned butt to photographers. HollywoodLifers, did you think it was fun or totally gross?
Madonna, 56, hit the red carpet in a wild outfit in honor of her new single, “Living For Love” but she got fans talking even more when she gave everyone a peak of her bum! The mother-of-four lifted up her dress as she walked the red carpet and it was the last thing anyone expected her to do.

Madonna is set to be the first performer at the 57th Grammy Awards but we bet she’ll keep her CBS performance a bit more tame.

The singer performed in 2014 with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and she’s won seven Grammy Awards. It’s safe to say she’s a total pro when it comes to this show and she simply wanted to show off her perfect butt! We don’t blame her.

Madonna’s song is off her upcoming Rebel Heart album which is set to be released March 10. Her music video is super awesome and we hope her Grammy performance is just as entertaining. She plays a matador with a bunch of hot men in the music video and we bet she’ll do something similar during the show.

Selena Gomez & Zedd: Her Grammy Awards Date Plan Revealed

The Grammys Awards is the biggest night in music, which is why Selena Gomez and Zedd were planning on attending the event together on Feb. 8, when they’d step out as an official couple. But will they actually show up? Here’s what we know.
Selena Gomez has been working hard, filming her new movie, The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving, in Georgia. While it’s taking up a lot of her time, she was planning on attending the Grammy Awards with Zedd on Feb. 8. He asked her and she said yes, HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY learned. However, plans have slightly changed since then.

Bummer. We were so excited to see Selena and Zedd attend the event together. It would have been a perfect opportunity for them to confirm they’re dating. Plus, it would demonstrate how serious they are about each other. But we understand — work comes first.

Selena Gomez: Her New Movie Is Her Priority
“Selena’s priority is her new movie. She’s very focused on it, and she needs to stay in Georgia. This movie is the top priority for her right now and Zedd totally understands that,” our source adds.

Zedd is so amazing. We know he really wanted to go to the Grammys with Selena, but he cares about her and her career. He’s proving how mature he is just by being so understanding.

We can’t deny we’re upset though.

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Are you upset Selena won’t be going to the Grammys? Tell us how you feel!

Beyonce’s Glowing Skin At The Grammys — Get Her Look

All hail because Queen Bey just won the red carpet! The singer and overall stunner wowed with her absolutely glowing skin at the Grammy Awards. We loved how luminous she looked and are breaking down all her beauty details.
Beyonce, 33, stuns no matter what she does. Singing, dancing, acting – you name it, she does it well. So it was no surpise that she absolutely rocked the red carpet at the Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, Calif. on Feb. 8! If you’re loving how glowing and natural she looked too then you’re in luck – we’re giving you all the details below.


Beyonce’s Grammy Awards Look — Glowing Skin
The most surprising aspect of Beyonce’s Grammy Awards beauty look was the fact that, well, she didn’t really have much of one – in the best way possible of course. The superstar rocked a totally natural vibe and looked positively glowing. We loved how clear and radiant her skin looked, especially. Her hair was in very loose waves with a center part, adding further emphasis on her natural vibe.


If you want to try and get skin as glowing as Beyonce’s we recommend trying L’Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup. We love that this foundation is sheer, but can be built up to higher coverage if need be. Plus, it contains light reflective luminous ingredients that give skin a lit-from-within look.

Beyonce’s Grammy Performance
This just in – Beyonce will be performing at the Grammys. The triple-threat will reportedly sing “Take My Hand Precious Lord” and then perform a duet with John Legend and Common, of their Oscar-nominated song, “Glory” from the critically acclaimed film, Selma.

Tell us what you think, HollywoodLifers! Do you love Beyonce’s look as much as we do? Comment below!
