Chicer than your average bear: Pudsey gets a charitable makeover

Posted on October 23, 2012 by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Introducing Pudsey, the world’s most stylish bear.

Thirty designers have jumped at the chance to dress the philanthropic character from Children in Need and all bears will go up for auction at Christie’s on November 15th.

In case your funds don’t stretch that far, you’ll be able to see them at Selfridges’ before they go under the hammer – and you can even purchase mini versions by Anya Hindmarch and Paul Smith.

But our favourite Pudseys are Burberry and Tom Ford – we may even have a style crush.

Dapper: Tom Ford for Pudsey

It’s here! Tom Ford finally lets the world in on his new collection

Tom Ford is such a tease (and let’s face it, a bit of a control freak).

First he bans photography at his shows, then he gives us all a tiny glimpse into the new collection by dressing Gwyneth Paltrow at the Oscars and then Jennifer Lawrence at the Hunger Games premiere.

FINALLY – we can check out all the looks with a sneak peek video that emerged from his website.

Worth the hype and all the secrecy? Obviously.

See for yourself…

Oscars 2012: And the award goes to…..Gwyneth Paltrow (for showing the world a Tom Ford gown)

Ff spends all year waiting with bated breath for the Oscars, so it’s only natural that we would a pang of disappointment once the moment has arrived (we are women after all).

This year provided little in the way of thrills (or spills) as most stars stuck with neutrals and monochrome. Not even Kelly Osbourne looked all that bad.

But as we like to see the glass half full, we would like to thank Gwyneth Paltrow for her choice of dress.

She gave us a sneak peak into Tom Ford’s super secret collection after the Texan designer banned all photography at his show earlier this month – leaving everyone but a select few in the dark.

We are told Gwyn’s white column frock is hot off the Winter 2012 catwalk and was Ford’s finale gown.

It’s so nifty, it even comes with a detachable cape.

We  think she looks beautiful, what do you think?

Livia and Colin Firth on the red carpet at the Oscar's 2011

Green Livvy with her Mr Darcy

Oh, to have the world’s top designers to cater for your every whim… Each awards season, Livia Firth, film producer and very beautiful wife of Mr Darcy Colin, sets a challenge for top talent to come up with an eco-friendly dress for her to wear.

Last year, she chose a pink upcycled gown by Gary Harvey, which was made from 11 different gowns reclaimed from the era of the King’s Speech – and wore it to the Oscar’s ceremony where Colin picked up Best Actor gong for the same film. Neat, right? This year the likes of Tom Ford, Gucci, Paul Smith and Stella McCartney have signed up to design dresses either for Livia or for a different celeb – all will be revealed on the eve of the events.

We do know however, that Livia has chosen an eco-friendly Giorgio Armani frock to wear on the red carpet for the Golden Globes this Sunday. Will it be green? You’ll have to wait and see…

PS Come back to Fashionfreude.com on Monday to see which Golden Globes stars we give the best dressed awards to… and which ones get a big old razzie.
