IT'S A FASHION WEEK - DAY 2

This year's fashion week has been a HOT BED of past-it celebs trying to worm their way back into the papers, with everyone from Pixie Lott to the ginger one from Girls Aloud gracing the front rows of shows. Below are some of my favourite celebrity sightings from this fashion week, accompanied by some fascinating trivia.

Naomi Campbell

- A lover of Anglo cuisine, Naomi once stated, "I love England, especially the food. There's nothing I like more than a bowl of pasta." - In January 2007, Naomi flew to Rio to meet Tuca Franchini, a father saint of the Candomble sect. She hoped the witch doctor could help get her temper under control. - Naomi has released several fragrances, including one named Naomage

.

The name is a play on the words "Naomi" and "homage" (I have no idea what that means either).

Ke$ha

(right) - Ke$ha once broke in to the home of pop-funk megastar Prince and gave him a copy of her demo. - Over 200 tracks were recorded for her debut album

Animal.

Of those, only 14 were used. - Her name is pronounced so it rhymes with "fresh, ah!" and not "quiche, yah", as some people think. - She is a close personal friend of singer Katy Perry.

Janet Jackson

- If the lyrics to her 1986 smash hit "

Nasty Boy

"

were to be taken literally, Janet's full name would be Janet Privacy-Control. Unless you are nasty, in which case it would be Miss Jackson Privacy-Control. - The term "Janet Jackson's breast" is the most Googled phrase of all time. - She sas stated in interviews that she has been "very sexual" since the age of 10.

We love

New Power Studio

and it's a trend that shows no sign of abating. We went to talk to label boss Thom Murphy about why fashion videos are going to destroy fashion shoots.

Typical Thom Murphy styling…

While there are plenty of outfits that can turn you into a strange furry monsters (monster costumes, Uggs, etc.) Yang Du's clothes somehow manage to accomplish the same feat without totally obliterating their wearer's fuckability. Seeing one of Yang's catwalk shows is like watching a Monster Munch videogame virus invade planet fashion. We sent Vice Scandinavia Editor Milene Larsson to ask Yang about handmade false teeth and more fashiony stuff.

I thought "

skin

jewellery" was a forgotten mid-90s fad, just like those fake stretchy tribal tattoo chokers and things like

this

, but, J. Maskrey has made a whole line out of attaching tacky blobs of rhinestones to people's bodies. This look might be a little labor-intensive for your average night out, but take it into daytime by spending an hour in the sun, and you could create a real statement, like this

lady

.

The tiger pasties were pretty cool too, but I was disappointed by the overall lack of bindis and facial adornments.

This dude looked like an emo child's sticker book, circa 1998. He even had the

Night of the Hunter

"LOVE" & "HATE" tattoos.

Body jewellery for moms.
