Lily Cole models a corset bodice created for the Triumph


Hot Cole: Lily models winning design of lingerie competition at Berlin Fashion Week

Last updated at 5:57 PM on 7th July 2011

 
Having just graduated from Cambridge with a double first, Lily Cole should spend the summer celebrating.
Instead, the model is back at work and on the catwalk at Berlin Fashion Week.
Lily showed off her curves in the winning lingerie design, created by finalist Boglárka Bódis for the Triumph Inspiration award show.

Entitled 'Les Fleurs du Mal, the monochrome corset bears some resemblance to the nude bodice designed by Jean Paul Gautier and made famous by Madonna. 
Hungaria Bódis, who received a 15,000 Euro prize, said: 'My design piece was inspired by the quote from one of the most beautiful poems of Les Fleurs du Mal by Baudelaire and I was moved by her words. 
'I had the desire to emphasise the eternal beauty and sensuality of the female body. Let us celebrate the women of the world without leaving out one single detail.'

Lily, also on the judging panel, modeled all 37 finalist designs in a photo shoot taken by Ellen Unwerth for the lingerie labe's website.
Bódis' lingerie will be added to Triumph's collection and sold in stores worldwide.
The winner of the most online votes was Liu Pak Yiu, from Hong Kong, who created a cutaway corset with skirt.

She said: ' The corset symbolizes bird cages and the protruding chiffon train imitates a bird escaping from its cage.
'The model wears the cage like a corset showing that women will not be trapped any more, they are now free and more confident.'

Holly Madison as she flaunts her curves in a retro bikini


'I’m a pig... I love food!' says Holly Madison as she flaunts her curves in a retro bikini 

Last updated at 1:20 PM on 8th July 2011

She may have acted upon the advice of producers of her hit Vegas show Peepshow by slimming down in recent months, but it doesn't mean Holly Madison has completely giving up on junk food.
As the 32-year-old stripped off to flaunt her curves in a Fifties-style bikini, she admitted her love affair for fried food and desserts continues.
The former Girls' Next Door star put her body on show in blue and white swimsuit as she posed pool side.

The star shunned heavy air-brushing in favour of a more natural looking shoot. 
In another shot, she shows off her ample cleavage in a low-cut black one piece paired with black stilettos.
 
When it comes to her favourite food, Holly says she can't help but indulge.
'I love chicken fingers, I love French fries. I love desserts. I’m not just into dessert of just into savoury food. I love it all. I’m a pig. I love food. So it takes a lot of discipline to eat healthy,' she told Star magazine.

While Hugh Hefner's former number one girlfriend admits that she cut down on high calorie treats in her bid to lose 15 pounds at the request of her bosses of her Vegas show.
'Recently, I’ve really gotten my eating habits back on track. [I have] a protein bar for breakfast, fruit as a snack and a healthy chicken salad for lunch,' she said.
'Then I will get a grilled chicken breast for dinner, with avocado and vegetables on the side.  I love adding BBQ sauce too.'
To burn off the calories, Holly does a variety of exercise, but says she has a penchant for Pilates.
'I have a treadmill in my house, which is great because even if I jump on it for a little bit, it makes me feel better,' she said. 'I love yoga and Pilates too. I have a private Pilates instructor I go to once a week,' she said. 
And like any other woman, Holly admits that there are parts of her figure she would like change, especially her stomach, which she believes will always have a bulge.
Natural: In what appears to be snaps not tainted by over-airbrushing, Holly could well may be a Fifties pin-up with her dangerous curves

'If I could have a Barbie body, which has no cellulite, I totally would. I would like to have a flatter stomach, but that won’t happen either,' she said.
'That is never going to happen. No matter how much weight I lose, my stomach, below the belly button, always pooches out.'
Earlier this year Holly was dealt a blow when producers of her burlesque review Peep Show, ordered her to lose weight.
Holly, who then weighed 115 pounds, was told by producers to lose the 15 pounds she gained when she moved from the Playboy Mansion to Sin City.
The indefatigable blonde said at the time: 'I always thought I looked fine. It was a shock to me when they told me to lose weight. I'm still up in the air over what to do.
Revealing: In another shot, she shows off her ample cleavage in a low-cut black cut-out one piece paired with black stilettos

'I feel like I changed my eating habits to really healthy; I've lost a few pounds. I'm still getting there and deciding if I even want to lose weight.'
Happily Holly, who has always been proud of her realistic curves, resisted the urge to become a stick insect.
Career-wise it seems it was the right move - the Holly's World reality star has seen her life-after-the Playboy Mansion show do well on E!.

Taylor Momsen 'sexualisation of teenagers'


Is this what they mean by the ? Taylor Momsen whips her young fans into a frenzy with lewd act

Last updated at 4:13 PM on 7th July 2011

As plans were recently unveiled by the Government to counter the sexualisation of children, this is one performance that will no doubt angrily fuel the argument even further.
Last night, Taylor Momsen, herself only 17, put on a raunchy show as she performed in Barcelona last night. 
She was seen gyrating on the lap of one of her fans as a group of half-dressed, similar aged girls were whipped into a frenzy behind her.

The controversial teen was performing with her band The Pretty Reckless at the city's Razzmatazz club.
At one point, as she stood up to sing, she sunk to her knees again as another fan groped her breasts.
The singer is known for her outspoken nature and outrageous attitude but even this might have been taking things too far, especially as she is under age to be indulging in this type of behaviour.

Not that her Spanish fans seemed to care - in fact, they couldn't wait to strip off and join her on stage and gyrate and thrust around her.
But the performance by Momsen, who was raised a Roman Catholic and is reportedly dating Paul Weller's son Natt, will no doubt further fuel the debate that the pop-porn culture sexualises children.
Both Katy Perry and Nicole Scherzinger, who have young fans, were slammed recently for their sexual lyrics and barely-there outfits as Lib Dem Children's Minister Sarah Teather introduced measures to prevent the sexualisation of children.

Even record producer Mike Stock, responsible for launching Kylie's early pop career, said: The lyrics of pop songs had become too sexualised, that music videos had effectively turned into soft-core pornography, and that the combined impact of both is almost certainly having a hugely damaging effect on our children.'
Taylor also caused controversy when she took to the stage at the Download festival last month without her bra.
The loose-fitting top she was wearing exposed her chest, but she was considerate enough to at least cover her nipples with duct tape.
Revealing: Taylor's T-shirt just skimmed her modesty as she performed at the Wireless festival last weekend

But Taylor has denied that she dresses for herself and doesn't do it to be provocative, even though she sacked her stylist because she was unhappy with the squeaky-clean look they had been developing.
She told MTV: 'I think firing my stylist has allowed me to be more free. I was getting moulded into this thing that wasn’t who I am.'
However, at a fashion event in Japan, she stunned onlookers when she ditched the rock chick black and wore a pretty pink mini dress at a fashion show for Japanese handbag maker Samantha Thavasa.
However, she didn't leave the gothic look completely behind as she rocked her signature gothic eye make-up.
Almost respectable: It made a change to see Taylor in a pink dress as she attended a fashion event in Japan last month
