Tom Brady waxes lyrical about new socks


Tom Brady waxes lyrical about new socks
Superstar quarterback Tom Brady is reportedly a huge fan of new footwear, according to some tidbits of information dug up by ESPN.

Before hitting the big time Tom played as a backup at the University of Michigan and discussed what he would do if he ever became a top player.

Talking to his friend Aaron Shea he said: "If I hit it real big I want to be able to wake up, put a pair of socks on, and at the end of the day, I throw 'em away."

When questioned if that was all he wanted should he become rich, Tom replied: "Yeah, that's what I want. I love new socks."

The Patriots player is sure to be able to buy a lot of legwear now that he is earning $18 million (£11.36 million) a year.

Tom Brady can be seen in this year's Super Bowl against the New York Giants on Sunday (February 5th).

Online campaign demands different shades of nude underwear


Online campaign demands different shades of nude underwear
A psychologist from the US has started an online campaign for retailers to offer more variation on skin-coloured undergarments.

Los Angeles-based African American Tara Raines is looking for more diversity in women's underwear so that skin-coloured bras can better match the range of skin tones in the country.

Her campaign, entitled "What's Your Nude?", hit Facebook this week and urged women to contact shops to demand more products catering for darker skin tones in their new and existing underwear collections.

Earlier this month Ms Raines told WWD that she has spent years searching for nude underwear between the traditional flesh-colour and black shades.

"Women of colour have tremendous spending power in the US and it's absurd to think that in 2012 we are essentially disenfranchised when we shop for lingerie," she said, before revealing that many of her family and friends have resorted to dying store-bought bras.

Paris Hilton wears suspender tights while shopping
Paris Hilton helped to liven up her look while shopping in Los Angeles this week by donning some risque leg wear.

The heiress wore a more demure casual black skater dress and lacy jacket, however she vamped up the outfit with a pair of stunning suspender tights.

To help add a further touch of glamour she accessorised her look with a pair of eccentric Prada sunglasses and a large silver handbag.

She was photographed with a selection of shopping bags from Louis Vuitton before driving off in her car.

Her standout hosiery became a popular trend in 2011, with stars such as Jessie J happy to rock the look on numerous occasions.

The tights first rose to fame thanks to Henry Holland and singer Lily Allen's endorsement in 2009 and have since been adopted by a host of famous faces, including Charlotte Church, Rihanna and Selena Gomez.

Jessie J shows off wild side in leggings


Jessie J shows off wild side in leggings
Jessie J gave fans a glimpse of her wilder side after she performed in Liverpool at the historic cavern club.

The 23-year-old singer opted for a pair of leopard print leggings with sheer panels and matched this edgy look with a rocky black t-shirt.

She sang in front of a 300-strong crowd of fans in the home of the Beatles and was pictured strutting her stuff and pouting with attitude throughout her intimate set.

Since hitting the big time last year Jessie J has become a poster girl for eccentric fashion, with her unique style gaining her plenty of media attention.

With a wide selection of coloured wigs and bodysuits she's shown her credentials from the early days, where she wore extravagant lip jewels in the video for Do it like a dude.

After this week's gig she praised her fans on Twitter, saying: "THANK YOU for making my 1st gig of 2012 so sweaty. Loved it!!!"

Helena Christensen dons blue tights for fashion event


Helena Christensen dons blue tights for fashion event
Helena Christensen looked effortlessly youthful and edgy in a printed outfit at the Swarvoski store in Oxford Circus, London this weekend.

The Danish supermodel wore bright blue opaque tights and a geometric printed dress and pointed nude heels.

Her eclectic look was completed by a mint green handbag and some tiny sparkly earrings, while her makeup and hair remained natural.

Helena attended the event to unveil the winners of her Unsigned Model search, who were handpicked last year.

The winners were Freya McHugh, a student from Manchester, and Reece Sanders from Nottingham.

They have both since become the new faces of the Swarvoski spring-summer 2012 campaign, which was shot by Helena herself and will feature in the UK, US, China and Russia.

Helena recently discussed the pair in an interview with Sky News Australia and claimed: "Sometimes it's better to shoot someone who hasn't done it before. There's an innocence that you lose when you've been doing it for a while."

South Korean activists send sock filled balloons over the border


South Korean activists send sock filled balloons over the border
Activists in South Korea have sent huge gas-filled balloons filled over the border into North Korea, AFP reports.

Each of the balloons was filled with socks and were sent to help impoverished residents to survive the harsh winters or to be exchanged or sold for food.

Around 1,000 pairs of socks were sent in five large plastic balloons from the city of Paju on Saturday January 28th, with each containing a leaflet explaining the act.

"We're not interested in sending political messages or sparking any troubles there. All we want is that people in the North wear warm socks over their frozen feet," a spokeswoman for North Korea Peace told the news agency.

She explained that socks and many other daily necessities are in short supply in North Korea and the rarity of this form of legwear means that one pair could be traded for enough corn to feed a person for a month.

What leggings most suit your individual style?


What leggings most suit your individual style?
Legwear that accentuates women's individual styles could prove more popular in 2012.

Newer celebrities such as 2011 X Factor winners Little Mix will be more of an influence on fashion choices, particularly make up, according to Kissandmakeup.tv freelance beauty editor Zara Stone Rabinowicz.

She explained: "Little Mix from the X Factor [were] the poster child for the new year, with women worldwide admiring their striking looks and individual styles.

"We are also going to see more focus on individual style - and a lot of noise about what bloggers are wearing and doing, as they are the celebrities of the people and are often more relatable than A-listers."

Little Mix sported their trademark mix of patterned and ripped leggings paired with bright footwear at their concert debut at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in London earlier this month.

The group have become renowned for their very different fashion styles, which is becoming a hallmark of their brand.

Amnesty International launches 'socks for Mexicans' appeal


Amnesty International launches 'socks for Mexicans' appeal
Amnesty International has launched an appeal for socks to give to Mexican migrants making journeys across Central America.

The charity is asking for people to donate this humble piece of clothing, which was highlighted as the item Mexicans would most like to take with them were they forced to leave their country.

Although answers to the survey were mixed, Amnesty International found that socks were often favoured to more valuable possessions, which migrants expect will be stolen off them on their journey, or increase their chances of kidnap.

Amnestry researcher in Mexico Rupert Knox explained: "Much to our surprise, the migrants did tell us that the one thing they desperately needed on their journey was socks.

"On journeys that can be up to hundreds of miles, untreated blisters risk lives and a fresh pair of socks can make all the difference."

Alyson Hannigan glows in maternity tights


Alyson Hannigan glows in maternity tights
Alyson Hannigan took a well deserved shopping trip in Beverly Hills and showed off her growing baby bump.

The 37-year-old red head appeared makeup free and radiant wearing a striped blue and grey mini-dress, black maternity tights and knee-high leather boots.

She was spotted with a selection of shopping bags from baby boutique stores, a clear sign that she is stocking up on outfits before the birth of her second child.

The How I Met Your Mother actress gave the public a first glimpse of her pregnant figure at the People's Choice Awards earlier this month with her husband Alexis Denisof, who was photographed rubbing her tummy on the red carpet.

Alyson and Alexis have been married for eight years and have a two-year-old daughter named Satyana Marie, who is rumoured to be helping out with the naming of the new baby.

Victoria Beckham poses seductively in underwear shoot


Victoria Beckham poses seductively in underwear shoot
Victoria Beckham revealed her slender post-pregnancy figure this week in a photo shoot for Japanese magazine Numero.

The 37-year-old fashion icon posed seductively in white corset underwear and a blue leather trench coat in the pictures, which each showed her impressive physique after only giving birth to her daughter Harper in July.

Despite her confident appearance the mother of four revealed to the publication that that she is too shy to let her husband David Beckham watch her model.

"My husband David has never been to any of my shows as I'm incredibly nervous and need to focus and concentrate," Victoria said.

The former Spice Girl has carved a name out for herself in fashion circles as a prominent designer, focusing on a range of figure flattering dresses.

Victoria has recently been the focus of media rumours as it has been alleged that the Spice Girls are to reform for a one-off performance for the London 2012 Olympics.

Justin Bieber experiments with patterned socks


Justin Bieber experiments with patterned socks
While he's usually a fairly dapper dresser, Justin Bieber's latest outfit has sparked confusion from his fans after he mixed and matched an odd combination of clothes.

The 17-year-old singer wore blue Aztec patterned socks pulled up high over his tracksuit bottoms while walking through Los Angeles International Airport.

He teamed this look with a white t-shirt, blue short-sleeved hoody and a large furry grey trapper hat.

Unusually, Justin was not accompanied by his girlfriend Selena Gomez, who he recently joined on her South American tour in Puerto Rico where the pair performed on stage together.

Justin Bieber's career has been under scrutiny this week after it emerged that his manager and mentor Scooter Braun could be thinking of ditching him in favour of British boy band The Wanted.

Scooter has already secured a gig on the Ellen DeGeneres show and is reportedly helping the boys to crack the US.

Miley Cyrus goes grunge in black tights


Miley Cyrus goes grunge in black tights
Miley Cyrus showed off an altogether grungier look this week as she popped out for lunch with friends in Hollywood.

The 19-year-old wore a pair of black tights, denim shorts and a checked shirt to create a casual style complete with slouchy black leather boots.

Despite not showing off much flesh, the starlet seemed to have forgotten to wear her bra and her jean shorts were cut off very high, meaning that the outfit was surprisingly revealing.

The former Hannah Montana actress and blossoming pop star has recently been sporting a more grown up look, with the help of her now mid-length hair cut with golden ends.

As well as her more sophisticated style, Miley seems to have found love and over the past few months has rarely been photographed without her long-term boyfriend Liam Helmsworth.

Liam joined Miley and her family last week for her 19th birthday, where photographs showed him being welcomed into the family by her country singer father Billy Ray Cyrus.

Kate Beckinsale wears tights to Stephen Merchant stand-up show
Kate Beckinsale looked luscious in black leg wear when she arrived at Stephen Merchant's new stand-up show, Hello Ladies.

Holding hands with husband Len Wiseman as she arrived at the Beverly Hills' Coronet Theatre, she looked in high spirits as she smiled for waiting photographers.

She was wearing a demure wrap-around coat, which she paired with knee-high boots and black tights.

Beckinsale recently hinted that she'd be interested in doing another Underworld film.

The British actress played vampire Selene in the series of films and reprises her role in the upcoming movie Underworld: Awakening.

Speaking to Collider, she said: "I always said that there wouldn't be a fourth one, so you can't trust what I am going to say at all. Part of me thinks it's so peculiar."

Fearne Cotton sports lightning blue tights
Fearne Cotton sported loud leg wear when she arrived at the Radio 1 studios earlier this week.

A photo published by Look magazine showed the radio host wearing a pair of lightning blue, leopard print tights and Dr Martens boots.

The grunge look was a break from the outfit Fearne sported for 2012 Sports Relief.

Cotton turned disciplinarian when she posed with Jimmy Carr. Comedian Carr is pictured laying prone in a tennis outfit, while Fearne sits on his back brandishing a whip and wearing patent leather ankle boots.

Commenting after the shoot, Fearne said she thoroughly enjoyed whipping Jimmy Carr.

"Especially having spent five days of the last Sport Relief in a team cycling non-stop from John O'Groats to Lands End and Jimmy just popped along for one day. Sweet revenge," she explained.

Skier causes plastic underwear dispute


Skier causes plastic underwear dispute
A dispute has begun in the International Ski Federation (FIS) as to what athletes should and shouldn't be allowed to wear under their race suits.

Gian Franco Kasper, president of the FIS, has called for the rules to be clarified after Tina Maze wore one-piece long underwear made from plastic.

Mr Kasper said: "We have to change our rules. It has to be made very clear - if (underwear) is plastified, it is forbidden."

Tina's under garment choice has sparked controversy after the Swiss ski federation complained that the Slovenian racer gained an aerodynamic advantage by wearing it.

The FIS has since confiscated her underwear, however it confirmed that the clothing had passed permeability tests.

Racers have since been recommended not to wear such clothing as its plastic parts could prevent the body from breathing while competing.
