Fashion Police Joan to Kathy

If you are truly a fashionista you are most likely familiar with the TV show Fashion Police on E!.  You are also probably aware that Kathy Griffin has recently replaced the late & great Joan Rivers.  So, the question that we are now facing is, “will the show be successful with its new host & cast?” 

Kathy has inherited the title, but will she adequately fill Joan’s shoes?  In all honesty, our verdict is still out.  Just curious as to your opinion.

The new Fashion Police With Kathy Griffin was brand new starting Monday January 12, 2015.  The day after the 72^nd Golden Globe Awards so that there was plenty of issues available to discuss.  The new fashion panel show is back with new hosts Kathy Griffin, Brad Goreski, Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic.  Off the roster is obviously Joan Rivers and Brad Goreski.

Fashion Police is an American television series airing on E!.  The series became a weekly program on September 10, 2010 where the hosts discuss the dos and don'ts of celebrity fashion.  Kathy opened the new version of the show with a quick, sweet moment for Joan by staying, "I just want to thank my good friend, who we all miss, Joan Rivers. Of course. So Joan, I know you're watching from heaven but don't get it twisted. I will not be afraid to bring the hammer down on anyone and everyone. I learned from the best."  The previous version of the show often had celebrity hosts such as Khloé Kardashian, Ryan Lochte, Jay Manuel, Nicki Minaj, NeNe Leakes, Aubrey O'Day, Ali Fedotowsky, Snooki, Ciara, Chanel Iman, Melanie Brown, Tori Spelling, Zendaya, Kimora Lee Simmons, Chelsea Kane, Tara Reid, Bonnie McKee, Jaime Pressly, Tiffani Thiessen, Mischa Barton, Kylie Minogue, and Joan's daughter Melissa Rivers.  We assume that the new version of the Fashion Police show will also utilize famous celebs as guest hosts.

By the way, the term fashion police existed prior to the show.   Essentially fashion police is defined as a term for people who are considered experts in dressing well who comment on the clothing of others.  If you are interested in reading an alternate definition that is not in regard specifically to the show on E!, you can read the fashion police term on Apparel Search.

About Kathy Griffin

Comedian Kathy Griffin is joining the cast of Fashion Police beginning in 2015.  Born in Chicago in 1960, Kathy Griffin's career as an entertainer began in 1980.  In the 1990s, Griffin began performing as a standup comedian and also appeared as a guest star on several television shows (such as her notable Seinfeld guest-appearance in the episode The Doll). She achieved recognition in a supporting role on the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan (1996–2000).  Her breakthrough came on the Bravo reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (2005–2010), which became a ratings hit for the network and earned her two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Reality Program.  Griffin also previously hosted the talk show Kathy.  Griffin had previously made an appearance as a guest-host on Fashion Police in 2013.

About Giuliana Rancic

Giuliana dePandi, as a young girl moved from her hometown in Naples, Italy, to the United States.  She earned a degree in journalism from the University of Maryland and eventually a master's degree in journalism from American University.  After several television hosting jobs, including co-host of two Miss USA pageants, she was added as the solo host to E! News in 2005.  As co-host on Fashion Police, Rancic offers her fresh, trendy take on current fashion.  Along with her co-host position on Fashion Police, Rancic also stars in her reality TV series, Giuliana and Bill, that depicts family and career life of both spouses.

About Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne is the daughter of famous musician Ozzy Osbourne (yes, Apparel Search is a huge fan of Ozzy).  In the early 2000s, the MTV reality show The Osbournes brought Kelly and her family to the spotlight and came with both television and fashion opportunities.   In 2009 she got engaged to male model Luke Worrall and that same year is well known for her addition to season 9 of Dancing with the Stars, where she took third runner-up.   Osboune’s addition to Fashion Police is featured on her official website, kellyosbourne.com. Her eclectic style and unique variety of clothes offers each episode a different take on fashion.  Osbourne most often disagreed with Rivers, giving the show a more balanced representation of opinions.

About Brad Goreski

Celebrity fashion stylist and TV personality Brad Goreski is joining the cast of Fashion Police beginning in January 2015.  As a stylist his clients have included Jessica Alba, Demi Moore, Christina Ricci, Rashida Jones, and Minka Kelly.  He is also the star of the TV series It's a Brad, Brad World.

About Joan Rivers

In 1989, she had aired her own daytime talk show, and the next year won an Emmy Award and earned her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  By 1996, she was hosting the series, Live from the Red Carpet, on E! Network, which lead to her to the co-host position on 'Fashion Police'.  River’s special brand of critical humor and biting cleverness not only boosted ratings of Fashion Police, but also the ratings of E! News itself.  Episodes typically include River’s take on a recent celebrity outfit choice, where her opinion is the dominant point of view of the show.  River’s position as host of the show gives her an authority presence on fashion critique and acceptable ways to dress.  Although infamous for her negative statements about other’s wardrobe, Rivers has an equal history of complimenting celebrity style as well as making fun of her own choices.  On September 4, 2014, Rivers died at age 81 of cardiac arrest.  On September 22, 2014, the premiere of “Joan Day” hit a record of 1.1 million viewers.  Episodes of River’s best, funniest, most-watched jokes aired from 7am-7pm, including a special 90-minute commemorative episode.

About George Kotsiopoulos

His career took off as a Market Editor and Fashion Associate for the New York Times Magazine, where he launched himself into the fashion industry.  After eight years there, in 2005 he co-hosted Sephora for E! Entertainment as well as made appearances on Good Morning America as a stylist consultant.  In 2011, Kostiopoulos was featured in the 17th edition of OUT Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential gay men and women.  He joined the cast of Fashion Police in 2010 as a regular co-host.  Kostiopoulos commented well on the niche of men’s fashion.   Kotsiopoulos offered fashion advice for men and women based on a man’s point of view.

The "Fashion Police" debates the appearance of Hollywood's stars and duds.  This includes fashion spotted on the red carpet, in movies, on the street, etc.  Are they doing a good job at reporting the news and giving good guidance regarding the do’s and don’ts in regard to style and fashion.

Do you think that Kathy Griffin is a good replacement for Joan Rivers?  Possibly, it is too early to tell.  Maybe we should wait a few more episodes before making any sort of judgment.  

Tune in to an all-new Fashion Police next Monday, Jan. 19, 2015 at 9/8c on E!

Thank you for taking the time to read our fashion blog post. We hope that you have found this news to be informative. If you have an opinion on how is the best host of the Fashion Police show, you are welcome to share your thoughts in the discussion area below.

Joey Thurman Insight on Oscar Night Fashion

The Oscars, the most glamorous red carpet in Hollywood, is less than two weeks away! From leading ladies making a bold statement to lead actors pulling off a classic tux flawlessly, the fashion on Oscars’ night is always highly anticipated.

Celebrity Fitness Trainer and Male Model, Joey Thurman, shares his insight on who we should be looking for on this fashionable Hollywood affair.

Steve Carell

Nominated for best leading actor for his role in Foxcatcher “Steve wears a classic tuxedo very well,” say Thurman. “What I like most about Steve is he is one of the few guys who will wear their glasses down the red carpet, one of the few accessories that men can wear in a formal setting!”

Keira Knightley

Nominated for best supporting actress for her role in The Imitation Game.

“Keira is not afraid to show her personality with fashion,” comments Thurman. “She is expecting her first child and I am intrigued to see if she is going to showcase her growing bump or keep it hidden. Either way, she will be wearing her unique style flawlessly.”

Emma Stone

Nominated for best supporting actress for her role in Birdman

“Emma never fails on the red carpet,” says Thurman. “This classic beauty wears bold colors to make her stand out in a positive way. She is one to look for on the big night.”

Neil Patrick Harris

Hosting the Oscars “All eyes will be on Neil to see what he changes into throughout the night,” says Thurman. “This man is all for being bold with suits and tuxedos! I look forward to seeing his colorful choice this year.”

RTW Retailwinds is New York & Co

Does anyone know why New York & Company would want to change their name to RTW Retailwinds?  To be honest, I don't get it.  What does "RTW" stand for?  Or is RTW short for "Retailwinds"?  Furthermore, why change from such a widely recognized name?  Possibly they had been jealous that Google changed their name to Alphabet and Coach changed to Tapestry.

Celebrity Style So Far July 2016

OK, I understand it is only July 7th and the month has only just begun.  But simply could not wait to post a few celebrity spottings for the month.

Lily Collins was photographed wearing Junk Food clothing brand in Los Angeles on July 5th.  The Last Tycoon actress sported her Basquiat 1960 Pullover Hoodie leaving a morning pilates class.

Actress Nikki Reed was captured this past Friday afternoon wearing awear sunglasses as she walked hand-in-hand with husband Ian Somerhalder! The former Twilight & Sleepy Hollows star was photographed wearing sunglasses style #3717 in CR  ($199; www.awearcharmant.com) while packing on the PDA and browsing the shops on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California.

Miranda Kerr Wearing Bombshell Skinny Jeans

Sofia Richie Wearing Kiss Shirt

By the way, it's nice to see that Nikki Reed and her man were both wearing sun hats.  We are not saying that keeping the sun off your face will make you look like them (that is a high standard), but it is certainly better for your skin if you wear a sun hat to provide shade from the harsh rays of the sun.  If you don't believe me, you can learn more about sun hats in our new fashion influence section.

Jessica Alba carried Thalé Blanc at Mission Hills World Celebrity Pro-Am opening ceremony the other day in China. Jessica looked sleek and polished in a black jumpsuit and her Thalé Blanc Talia Mini Fastueux Clutch in Silver Python ($1,610; www.thaleblanc.com).

“Westfield Topanga is already one of Los Angeles’s strongest shopping destinations with everything from Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Target to Urban Outfitters and Free People.  With The Village we want to complement that offering and provide a location that would draw from LA’s hip street retail to give our shoppers a destination like no other.  The blend of world class shopping with high end home furnishings, celebrity driven retail concepts, restaurants and select personal services has never really existed before,” said Larry Green, Senior Vice President of Development for Westfield.

The Village at Westfield Topanga further breaks the mold with the introduction of a state-of-the-art Costco, including gas, and outdoor recreational retailer and consumer co-op, REI joining the anchor lineup and serving as another unique point of difference.

Upon opening The Village, combined with world-class Westfield Topanga and adjacent Promenade, will be home to over 300 tenants, with an anticipated 20M annual visits, in excess of $1.3 billion in annual sales, will emerge as one of the top retail districts in the United States.  The architecture, landscaping, and amenities are the essence of Los Angeles’s outdoor living and culture, giving locals and Valley visitors a comfortable and inviting way to connect, socialize and shop.

V-day is around the bend.  We wanted to reach out to you about Valentine’s Day fashion with advice from celebrity stylist Gen Bell.  Valentine’s Day is the day to show off your sexy side, remind your loved one what you are working with underneath your sweats and possibly baby food, or to catch the eye of a new admirer.  For some, personal style comes easy but not everyone is born a natural fashionista and may need a little help.  Miami based celebrity stylist Gen Bell offers her best dressed tips for Valentine’s Day!

Known for working on production sets with celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull, and upcoming artists Jordan Fernandez, Katie Steel and Tori Lynn Jones, Gen Bell's advice is to be confident in whatever you wear.  Confidence is your sexiest asset.  Pair confidence with these tips and you will sure impress your loved one or snag a new boyfriend. 

Valentine’s Day Stylist Tips:

1. Make sure all your pieces fit your body type well.  Muffin tops or saggy butts are not attractive.
   
2. Everyone wears red on Valentine’s Day.  Avoid this cliché color. Instead a little black dress paired with red accents will go a long way.
   
3. If you must wear red…save it for lingerie.
   
4. Dress appropriately for the date activity.  If going on a casual date such as bowling, put on your best fitting jeans with a sexy top.  If you are going on a romantic date, heels are a must.  Whether high heeled boots or stilettos.  Heels elongate your legs and makes your silhouette sexy!
   
5. Pair your outfit with a fun trend such as an iridescent clutch, belt, or shoes!  Or rock a full floral skirt with a form fitting top.
   
6. Lastly, don’t reveal too much because the best way to lure interest is to leave a little to the imagination.

Curvy Shape

For the curvy girl, wear something that compliments your curves. A wrap dress is sexy yet classy at the same time.

Short Shape

For the short girl, wear something that elongates your frame. A fitted sheath dress above the knee will do the trick.

Tummy Shape

For the girl with a little pouch, wear something that doesn’t emphasize your midsection. A vibrant shift dress will have you looking elegant and beautiful.

Boyish Shape

For the girl with slightly less curves, wear something that can add a little bit of curve. A beautiful flowing belted style dress will do just that.

Large Bust

For the girl that is full on top, wear something that will keep the detail to the top at a minimum. A nipped in waist dress with a flowing flare will look great!

Small Bust

For the girl that is smaller on top, wear something that can add definition to the bust line. A flattering A-line dress will help give you the look you want!
