Male Supermodel David Gandy has worked with the Fashion power-house Dolce & Gabbana for many years now, and done some of the most well known and revered photo spreads for the designer, and now they are returning the favor. Dolce & Gabbana celebrated model David Gandy in Milan with a whole day of events centered around the model. I think it is pretty cool that Dolce & Gabbana would celebrate a model and have a whole day of events for him. Below is the list of the events and how they played out. Be sure to check out our gallery of David Gandy!

The newly engaged couple, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries made their first public appearance since announcing their engagement few days back. Celebrity and reality TV star Kim Kardashian hit the red carpet arm-in-arm with her fiance, Kris Humphries at the Amber Fashion Show, held at the Meridien Beach Plaza on May 27, 2011 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Kim Kardashian seems to be somewhat of a fixture at a lot of fashion shows, and always has been. I guess you would have to do the same if you were someone like Kim Kardashian, who is almost always in the public and being photographed.

Kim Kardashian was seen flaunting her engagement ring, which is reportedly worth $2 million. Usually , Kim steals spotlight with her bold fashion at every event, but this time her huge diamond ring was the center of attention that caught everyone’s eye. Mind you, this is the same ring that brought Kim a bashing from Fox Political commentator Bill O’Reilly. The ring looked absolutely breath taking with the white gown that Kim had on too, but it better look good seeing as how it costs $2 million!

Designer Hernan Lander is holding private viewings for press and buyers at his midtown studio following his triumphant runway show at Gotham Hall during New York Fashion Week. Lander highlighted iFashion Week’s “Emerging Designers” Fashion Show.  He wowed the audience at Gotham Hall, just a stone’s throw from The Tents. The young Dominican-American designer is continuing to create what he considers cutting edge clothes with a feminine spirit.  Working from his studio across the street from Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Landers is giving buyers and the press a close-up viewing of his collection at his studio on Thursday, October 1, and Friday, October 2, 2009. With his masterful draping of jersey and silk wool, he created combinations of classic Grecian images with off the shoulder styles and form fitting dresses accentuated with flowing materials.  His color choices, he said, were African-inspired — desert colors of sand, wood, black with explosions of gold metallic detail.

The iFashion Week{end} which ran from September 10-19, 2009, produced by SEG Corporation and iConcept Media Group, featured five emerging designers from across the globe, including two Project Runway alumni, Teri Stevens and Kinley Collins.  iFashion Week{end} provides a platform for the discovery and promotion of new talent in the world of fashion. This event marked the commencement of a seasonal fashion showcase that aims to introduce new talent, trends and fashion translation.  Runway shows, cocktail parties, presentations and other events were held at various locations in New York City to usher in the new generation of high fashion designers.

“I let the fabric talk to me,” says Lander.  “I wanted to create a collection that was easy to wear and easy to play with,” he says.  “When you’re wearing solid colors you have more choices for combinations.”  Lander honed his craft collaborating with prominent New York designers, such as Rogelio Velasco and Ralph Lauren.  He was working for the Donna Karan Collection until December 2008, when he stepped off to live his own dream.

Lander says his latest creations, combining femininity and glamour with a sharper edge, is perfect for the strong woman who knows who she is and what she wants. “The inspiration behind the Spring 2010 collection comes from the contrast between the industrial and the natural feeling you can find in Africa,” he says.
