From supermodel to cosmetics empress and wife, Iman has pretty much done it all — yet there’s still more in the pipeline. The iconic model is launching Iman Home with PK Lifestyles late this month, but will allow a sneak peak at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center next week. With design consultant Carlos Mota, Iman will design the VIP Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge at the tents at Lincoln Center. Using Iman’s new fabrics, the duo conjured up an oasis replete with pieces of her personal furniture, including African stools and framed photographs by Bruce Weber and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
“Since I stopped modeling, got married and had a daughter, home has become a passion of mine,” she told WWD.
“The gods of the interior decoration must have been looking down on me, because all of a sudden, here was this great opportunity to create the Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge.”
“It’s probably going to be the new place to find me,” she said. “At least until fashion week is up.”

What Shakira makes known about her scent:
“My feeling is that personal care and beauty should not only be effortless but accessible for everyone. Like a song, a perfume has different notes which together are the harmony. I’m very picky. Some fragrances are too strong. I’ve always dreamed about coming up with a fragrance I could enjoy and share with others.”

The Kardashian sisters are not even close to being done with their fashion enterprise.
There’s the QVC line K-Dash, which will make its debut in a runway show Friday, September 10 at 9 PM Eastern Time at the TV retailer’s pop-up store in New York’s Rockefeller Center as part of Fashion’s Night Out.
It’s the Kardashians’ famed curves that no doubt attracted QVC to do a deal with Kim, Kourtney and Khloe. The line will include clothing pieces as well as accessories such as belts, handbags, leggings, tunics, faux fur-trimmed vests and more. Prices for these items will range from $20 to $240.
The sisters aren’t really designing the line, that’s left to the real designer, Ginny Hilfiger, sister of Tommy Hilfiger, but are said to approve every piece and every fabric.

Looks like recording artist Pharrell isn’t the only one implementing his clothing line aesthetics into motorbikes. Rapper Tip ’T.I.’ Harris revealed the customized Yamaha YZF-R1 at the Magic Tradeshow in Las Vegas last week. The motorbike was the result of the collaboration between custom sport bike builder and designer, Rob Uecker, from Voodoo Industries and T.I.’s AKOO Clothing design team.
Turns out that AKOO Clothing line not only has caught the eye of a hip hop audience, but also to the automotive lovers. Rob Uecker stated:
“What makes this Yamaha R1 so unique is the unusual mixture of textures and materials. When I look at the AKOO brand I see classic, rugged American styling. But I know T.I. is a serious rider, so it was important to me to accentuate the R1’s aggressive street stature. I worked closely with the AKOO design team to translate those aesthetics onto the Yamaha canvas, and the result is the best sportbike I have ever built.”
The bike is officially dubbed “AKOO YZF-R1″ brings AKOO’s masculine style into Yamaha’s rugged yet modern street-king look. Ralph Reynolds, AKOO Principal, stated:
“Rob Uecker creates custom inspired creations, each one better than the last. The AKOO Yamaha R1 is truly one of these inspired creations. From a design, power, and style perspective the combining of our two different brands, VooDoo Industries’ magic has brought about truly inspired beauty. Rob being the artist, the Yamaha R1 being the medium, and AKOO being the inspiration, we are fortunate and extremely appreciative to have been involved with this project.”
The bike is retailed for a cool $80,000.
