October’s Best Fashion Videos: Nick Knight’s Visual Symphony With Lady Gaga, Ellen Von Unwerth Pays Homage to Sex and the City, and More
  Watch the slideshow This month, we were not only treated to one, but two fashion videos from British lensman and visual mastermind Nick Knight. For the first, he captured Lady Gaga twirling around and looking like a hologram in colored plumes of smoke, and the other documents an Alister Mackie–styled, punk-inspired shoot for AnOther magazine. Also in this batch: Ellen Von Unwerth directs a Sex and the City–inspired video (cleverly titled Transex in the City) for Candy magazine, with a cast of three gender-bending divas, along with current nightlife queen, Ladyfag. The foursome party like it's the early aughts all over again, drinking martinis, shopping, and stuffing dollar bills down the pants of leather-daddy strippers. See these clips, and more, in the slideshow ahead.

Crazy midnight was singing is held

  
Rihanna's video for 'We Found Love' is
  Photo: PA
Rihanna's video for her single 'We Found Love' has been described as a "disgrace" by anti-rape campaigners.
The track - which is the first song to be taken from the singer's forthcoming new studio album 'Talk That Talk' - has spent the last three weeks at Number One in the UK singles chart, but its accompanying video has been criticised by the Rape Crisis Centre for sending out an inappropriate message.
The Rape Crisis Centre's Eileen Kelly complained to The Daily Star about the clip, in which Rihanna is spanked and has the word 'Mine' tattooed on her backside by male model Dudley O'Shaughnessy.
She said:
Rihanna's new video is a disgrace. It sends the message that she is an object to be possessed by men, which is disturbingly what we see in real violence cases.
Rihanna has faced criticism for her videos before. In June, US pressure groups called for the video for her single 'Man Down' to be banned as they claimed it promoted murder, although she insisted it could help "give a voice to victims". The video portrayed her shooting an attacker after being raped.
Last week, meanwhile, the singer settled a lawsuit with fashion photographer David LaChapelle over her 'S&M' video, after he claimed certain scenes in the clip for the single were plagiarised from his own shoots.

LouisVuitton-1
 
“Le Carrousel, the circular dance of fashion. This season at Louis Vuitton the circle has turned once more and arrived at a place of pure enjoyment, gentleness, joie de vivre and love. But this is a particular enjoyment and love: the joy of Parisian fashion.”
How apropo to be in Paris this season and be invited to attend the Louis Vuitton show. Truly it was an honor to receive the invitation and take part in sharing the message of the brand. We each seemed to have a singular goal in mind - to celebrate Parisian fashion. And what a joy it was. A magical carousel, a whimsical fairytale with girls in fabulously feminine clothes - a vision of delicacy in beautiful lace, icy pastels, transparent flowers and and feather trimmed loveliness – and then there was Kate Moss on the runway (exclamation point!). All of this Parisian splendor harkened from a history of fine craftsmanship. And to top it off Louis Vuitton, one of the most prestigious luxury brands in the world, is also on the forefront of fashion and technology. I find it so compelling that Louis Vuitton, like Burberry, is leading the charge into the future and the digital world. Think of its recent “The Art of Travel by Louis Vuitton” campaign. For Spring 2012 show, it created a complete digital experience to give fans an inside look at Louis Vuitton and Parisian fashion.
“The romance of Parisian fashion is a joy in the emotional exchange between the craftsman and wearer. Fashion is a spectacle, but this is an intimate relationship as well; it is not just about the joy of looking but the joy of feeling,” explained the show program. Clothes can be enjoyed because of their beauty, but the pleasure of luxury is also in knowing the craftsmanship of the garment and its exquisite design by a Parisian atelier. Case in point: the “Coquilee D’Oeuf” minaudiere, the collections’ piece de résistance. The evening bag, which took over 300 hours and 12,500 pieces of “mosaicked” eggshells to make, sums up the extreme delicacy and emotional exchange in the crafting the collection.
Just as the clothes can be appreciated from the inside out, so too can the runway show and the brand's message - by understanding what goes on behind-the-scenes. To give fans an inside look this season Louis Vuitton live-streamed the show and created a series of videos about the brand, the runway show and Paris itself. “Social media is very interesting and brings opposite personalities together,” said Kamel Ouadi, global digital director at Louis Vuitton, Paris. “There’s this idea of openness and of community [that] lets consumers connect and share…. [Social media] emphasizes the emotional aspects of a luxury industry [that] is sometimes perceived as arrogant and distant,” he said. Not only was the show was broadcast live via iPhone and iPad and on the Louis Vuitton Facebook Page, but a mini-site dedicated to the show was also launched. Fans could tune it to find out how the beautiful carousel and runway show was created and watch the building of the show tent. And designer Marc Jacobs created exclusive videos to discuss his vision of the Louis Vuitton Woman, the creative process involved in building a collection and putting on a Louis Vuitton fashion show.

The fashion photographer claimed certain scenes in the video

  
Rihanna
  The fashion photographer claimed certain scenes in the video for her 2010 single – directed by Melina Matsoukas - were plagiarised from his own shoots and launched a lawsuit seeking $1 million in damages.
At the time, David said: "I like RiRi. This is not personal, it’s strictly business. Musicians commonly pay to sample music or use someone’s beats and there should be no difference when sampling an artist’s visuals.”
The case has now been settled by Rihanna out of court for an undisclosed sum, and David's publicist says he is "happy with the settlement.”
David's lawsuit pointed out similarities between the video and eight of his photos including one of a dominatrix walking a chained man on a leash, a woman in latex headgear and Rihanna posing in front of newspaper headlines, which he argued was similar to a shot he took of Lady Gaga posing with newspaper headlines stuck to her body.
Rihanna’s representative and record label have yet to comment on the lawsuit.
While her legal troubles with David may be over, the video is also subject to legal action from Paris based photographer Philipp Paulus.
He claims an image of his has was recreated without permission in the 'S&M' video.
He singles out a particular shot of his own where a model in a billowy gown is trapped against a wall by a sheet of plastic, surrounded by large X symbols made from black tape, similar to how Rihanna is presented in part of her video.

fashion video magan

  When I first came up with the concept for the video, I had a very particular vision for what the end product would look like. Since it was a music video and there is no dialogue within the story, the visual images were key in communicating story points. I wanted each of the girls’ characters to be very distinct and since they weren’t speaking, their mannerisms and wardrobe were very important so I opted to style the video myself.
Most of the wardrobe used was pulled from my own closet, along with a couple key pieces generously gifted by showrooms around LA, and me and the girls had a great time playing dress-up! Check out this behind-the-scenes video from Celebuzz to get a sneak-peek of what went into the styling of “Are You Happy Now”:

Lady Gaga Serenades expenses Clinton as Marilyn Monroe A Decade of variation Concert

  
  US pop star Lady Gaga serenaded former President Bill Clinton at the 'A Decade of Difference' concert celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation held at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California over the weekend.
MSN reveals the pop star "sported a wavy blond hairdo and red lips like Marilyn Monroe as she serenaded Clinton and changed several of her lyrics to reference him."
The NY Daily News reveals Gaga stood seductively and teased her hair as she said, "Bill, I'm having my first Marilyn moment.
"I always wanted to have one, and I was hoping that it didn't involve pills and a strand of pearls," she joked.
"Tonight, I'm on the edge with you," she added before going into "Edge of Glory."
Watch a video below.
More notes on the pop star...
Lady Gaga has created a dress out of images of her fans' faces.
Dubbed 'The Masterpiece', the pop superstar – who famously wore a gown made entirely out of meat to the MTV Video Music Awards in 2010 – fashioned the skimpy leotard and flowing train after thousands of her 'Little Monsters' sent in pictures of themselves as part of the star's new MAC Viva Glam campaign.
Created by Gaga's resident stylist Nicola Formichetti, the images have been printed on to fabric the same colour as the 25-year-old singer's new lipstick for the cosmetics brand, which will raise money for AIDS awareness causes.
Despite her eccentric fashion choices, the 25-year-old singer – real name Stefani Germanotta – managed to go unrecognised when she went out make-up free to a London pub last week.
An onlooker at the Duke of Wellington pub in Chelsea told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Staff didn’t recognise her. She had no make-up on and very normal clothes, just baggy trousers and butch, black, flat shoes. And definitely no wig.
“Gaga was chatting to staff, complimenting one on her tattoo. But within half an hour she was overheard saying, ‘This is crazy, I can’t believe no one recognises me.’ Weirdly, she then started making outrageous comments to people passing by and generally drawing attention to herself.”
Meanwhile, the singer has won a court injunction against a cartoon character called Lady Goo Goo after lawyers ruled there was a link between Gaga and the nappy-wearing baby that appears on website Moshi Monsters.
Lady Goo Goo's tune 'Peppy-razzi' – spoofing Gaga's 'Paparazzi' – caused her to become an internet sensation, but London's High Court has now banned Mind Candy, the British parent firm of Moshi Monsters, from distributing any more tracks by the cartoon character.
Michael Acton Smith, founder and CEO of Mind Candy and creator of Moshi Monsters, said: “This court ruling is a huge disappointment. It’s pretty obvious that kids will be able to tell the difference between the two characters.
"It was all done in the name of fun and we would have thought that Lady Gaga could have seen the humour behind this parody.”

Beyonce Talks Fashion video

  We had our eyes glued to the TV when Beyonce, clad in a vivid Lanvin gown, strode onto the MTV VMAs red carpet and silently made her announcement to the world: pregnant!

  The singer, featured on the November cover of Harper's Bazaar, told the magazine that that that moment, where she posed for pictures with her hands clasping her growing belly, took lots of planning -- and lots of dresses:
"I put a lot of thought into how I wanted to unveil it. It was important to me that I was able to do it myself," Beyonce explains. The orange Lanvin caftan she wore for the big moment was the last of an epic near-70 gowns she considered. "I was extremely nervous. It was the toughest red carpet I ever did."
It was just the beginning of many pregnant fashion moment, as Bey's made appearances on runways, front rows, dance floors and even the beach since the big news was announced.
She told Harper's Bazaar, "I've had so much fun with fashion over the months... I have been pregnant through every event I've done, from the Billboard Awards to Glastonbury."
She's also had fun bonding with her best gal pals, including fellow mom Gwyneth Paltrow. The actress said of her friend:
"B is wise beyond her years. She has taught me the value of speaking your mind. She is clear and honest and true to herself while being respectful. She will be an incredible mother because she is so full of love and she knows who she is."
Paltrow also told the mag, "Our best times have been when we are just sitting around in sweatpants, having a glass of wine, chatting about life" (emphasis ours).
Gwynnie and Bey, sitting around in sweatpants with a bottle of vino? We just fell even further in love with the pair -- as if that was possible.
Check out some of Beyonce's Harper's Bazaar photos, lensed by Terry Richardson

  The Glee cast members are starring in their very own Fashion’s Night Out music video.

  Gleeks can watch Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Jane Lynch and additional cast members strutting their stuff on a high fashion catwalk while singing David Bowie’s “Fashion”. We noticed that plus sized actress/singer Amber Riley was missing from the final clip. We don’t understand why she didn’t make the cut because Ashley Fink makes an appearance.

  Fashion’s Night out is a one day event that kicks off on September 8th. To learn more visit the official FNO website.
