Celebrity Designer Face-off: Eva Mendes vs. Heidi Klum vs. Gwen Stefani

Eva's bedding for Macy*s
 
While other Hollywood stars are setting their sights on conquering the worlds of fashion, fragrance — or even hair extensions — Eva Mendes is poised to make her mark on home design. Macy’s has just revealed exclusively to PEOPLE that the actress, along with partner George Augusto, is collaborating with them on a line of luxury bedding that will launch online and in stores at the middle of this month. The Latin-inspired collection, Vida, will come in five styles, each of which, like Bettina above, will feature rich patterns and intricate detailing. “Vida is all about easy luxury,” Mendes says. “The colors, fabrics and textures that I live and love, brought to life in a stylish, comfortable and affordable way.” So what does it cost to crawl under Eva’s covers? A four-piece queen set, which includes a comforter, bedskirt and two shams, will set you back between $340 to $425.

Heidi Klum's jeans for Jordache
 
Heidi Klum knows what it takes to make a good pair of jeans, and she’s not afraid to shake it! “It’s very important to have a little bit of something fun on the butt,” she told PEOPLE Tuesday, shaking her derriere at an event to celebrate the launch of her fall/winter 2008 denim line, Heidi Klum by Jordache. The model and Project Runway judge wore a sheer blouse and a pair of jeans from her line — complete with “booty bling” on the back pocket — to greet fans and sign autographs at Bloomindgale’s in Manhattan on Tuesday. Working on the line, Klum learned that how a pair of jeans fits on a girl’s behind is the most important thing to consider when designing. “The first thing girls do [when putting on a pair of jeans] is turn around and look in the mirror and they look what their butts look like,” she said. “It just has to look right and as perfect as possible.”


Gwen Stefani's barmistress uniforms for W HotelsUniforms aren’t exactly what comes to mind when we think of trend-setting star and clothing designer Gwen Stefani. But the L.A.M.B. founder has just announced that she will launch an exclusive line of work-wear for W Hotels. Starting this fall, female staff members at the luxe hotel chain’s Living Room lounges throughout the country will be outfitted in the custom L.A.M.B. design. And Gwen’s touch is instantly apparent: the black jersey dresses combine a fitted ’80s silhouette and asymmetrical styling with ’60s seam detailing and side vents. When creating the design, she knew it would have to not just look good, but be functional for active employees. “I wanted to design a super cute dress that I would be excited to have in my own closet and approached it in the same way I think about my clothing for a tour,” she says. “We’ve designed a sexy and comfortable outfit for these women to wear out on their own stage every night.”

I like Gwen's dress, but do bartenders really want to be in 4 inch heels all shift? I think not. And that bedspread is so suburban housewife, they should feature it on Desperate Housewives.

that bedding is hideous
[info]valentineballad failpost13th-Sep-2008 06:54 pm (UTC)
i hate the color of that bedding, those jeans make heidi look fat and therefore DNW, and who the fuck wants to be on their feet for 8 hours like a bartender is wearing stilettos and a minidress?
[info]dnfrommn Re: failpost13th-Sep-2008 07:13 pm (UTC)
ooh.. I didn't think about how short that skirt is. Yeah, if the girls have to reach up for the top shelf liquor or bend over to pick crap off the ground, I can see why that's not so good.

Get out of here, girl bartenders make their money by wearing short shorts or mini skirts.

Take it from a girl bartender... I wouldn't be fucking caught dead wearing anything but flats while working, but we're not walking around in slacks and blazers.

ot

but your icon looks like weed from a distance.

just thought i'd tell you lol.
[info]elude_me Re: failpost14th-Sep-2008 01:37 pm (UTC)
Just because it is drawn at that length and those heels doesn't necessarily mean it will actually be worn that way.
[info]cut_piece 13th-Sep-2008 07:02 pm (UTC)
no thanks to all of it
[info]glamour_spark 13th-Sep-2008 07:04 pm (UTC)
Don't they sell Jordache jeans at Kmart or something? Heidi Klum annoys me, she can't really be so perfect as her exterior shows her to be, I bet she can be a real bitch when the cameras are off. Also I love L.A.M.B., the shoes are fabulous and surprisingly comfortable.
[info]allxears 14th-Sep-2008 12:21 am (UTC)
no, jordache is sold at macys and bloomingdales
[info]glamour_spark 13th-Sep-2008 07:07 pm (UTC)
Also where does it say the bartenders have to wear 4 inch heels?
[info]icutandpaste 13th-Sep-2008 07:09 pm (UTC)
Uh, only a tall skinny person would look cute in that dress.
[info]3608 14th-Sep-2008 02:38 am (UTC)
I'm 5'2" and I could rock the shit out of that dress. Especially with my bust, waist, and hips.
[info]debolabon 13th-Sep-2008 07:15 pm (UTC)
What kind of sexist asshole would make his female employees wear heels and mini dresses as a uniform for a SERVICE INDUSTRY JOB???

...and gwen is a jerk for going along with it :(
[info]featherrenae 13th-Sep-2008 07:21 pm (UTC)
WOW that bedding is FUG.
[info]nunya_b 13th-Sep-2008 07:26 pm (UTC)
L.A.M.B. is pretty good-looking though I must say, Gwen is the only one I genuinely believe is interested enough in fashion that she wants to do this and didn't just decide to do it for moneys
[info]moneycashhoes 13th-Sep-2008 07:30 pm (UTC)
I seriously doubt they're gonna be forced to wear stilettos, I mean what was she supposed to do, sketch them wearing crocs or something?
[info]wring 13th-Sep-2008 08:01 pm (UTC)

[info]_glamazon 13th-Sep-2008 08:44 pm (UTC)

[info]fortunatefool__ 13th-Sep-2008 07:36 pm (UTC)
Sorry, I only get my bed sets at Target when they are $24. FUCKING LOVE TARGET!
[info]wring 13th-Sep-2008 08:01 pm (UTC)

[info]moneycashhoes 13th-Sep-2008 08:18 pm (UTC)
or that all waitresses have a body like that and will be wearing miniskirts.
retards
[info]yooperchild 13th-Sep-2008 08:04 pm (UTC)
Heidi's jeans make her ass look enormous.....and if they make a supermodel's ass look that big, there is a 0% chance that I would buy them.
[info]hjalmartazar 13th-Sep-2008 08:07 pm (UTC)
those jeans (or maybe the angle of the camera) make heidi look so fuckin short
[info]sparkfactory 13th-Sep-2008 08:30 pm (UTC)
I think Gwen is the most legit of the ~celeb designers~ out there, I actually love a lot of her stuff.
[info]_glamazon 13th-Sep-2008 08:45 pm (UTC)
that bedding is so gross.
[info]cammy_luv 13th-Sep-2008 09:13 pm (UTC)
Nice ass on heide!
[info]ohh_hay 13th-Sep-2008 11:05 pm (UTC)
I love Heidi sfm. WERK.
[info]i_loled_irl 14th-Sep-2008 12:00 am (UTC)
if those jeans can make heidi klum's legs look short, it's not very good news for everyone else...
[info]8bit_tanuki 14th-Sep-2008 06:40 am (UTC)
I think I saw that bedding in a Sears flier.
