You might recognize Camila Alves as the super-hot mom/model (her Hubby is the equally hot Matthew McConaughey). These days Ms. Alves is gaining praise for her handbag label MUXO and a new tunic collection. She truly puts family first, her design and business partner is none other than her own Mom. In contrast to your typical "celebrity" handbag line, Camila and her mother originally started their own handbag line for same reasons as many other designers. They wanted to make money together and be able to send funds home to their family. In the early days, the two of them would work late into the night to stitch, hammer and apply trim themselves to make their bags by hand. Ms. Fabulous editor Mariana Leung chats with Camila about her fashion journey: Ms. FABulous: Who were your style icons growing up? Camila Alves: I think my mother was definitely an influential part of my style growing up. She’s always had a cool sophisticated air about her that translates in our designs. MsF: Has being a parent changed how you work as an entrepreneur and designer? C.A.: Absolutely! I need things to not only be chic, but also effortless and able to be work for different outfits and occasions. MsF: You design your handbag collection with your mother. While you are well known for your modeling work in the fashion industry, did either of you have previous design experience or was it a mutual love of style that brought you together for this collection? C.A.: I feel like I have been in the fashion my whole life! From my modeling career to watching my mother who has 3 degrees in design and arts! MsF: The collection features Brazilian leather and handcrafted workmanship. How involved were you in the decisions of choosing the materials and directing how they were to be made? C.A.: I’m completely involved in the creative process. I wanted to create a line that I could nurture and grow be proud of, and that meant that I needed to be involved from conception to execution. MsF: What inspired you to add tunics to your label? Is there a plan for a full clothing line? C.A.: I wanted to expand from the handbags and tunics worked naturally because just like the bags, it’s something that works for all women of different sizes and ages. No plans just yet, but we’ll see what else comes to mind! MsF: What was the most unexpected thing you learned in creating your own fashion label? C.A.: I was surprised at how easily something can come to life when you’re passionate about . And also how you actually influence people and provide them with special experiences thru your product and creation! MsF: What is the most special tradition you have for the holidays? C.A.: Getting the whole family together and having a sit down meal and acknowledging how blessed we are to have each other! MsF: Thank you and happy holidays! http://www.msfabulous.com/2012/12/fab-exlusive-interview-with-camila-alves.html

Veja fotos do casamento da top Emanuela de Paula Ela se casou na última quarta-feira, 12, como o produtor executivo argentino Gaston Levy, na Bahia. A top Emanuela de Paula se casou com o produtor executivo argentino Gaston Levy, na última quarta-feira, 12, em Itacaré, na Bahia. A cerimônia intimista aconteceu para 120 convidados, muitos vieram da Argentina, Nova York e Londres. Entre os famosos estavam Carol Trentini e Rico Mansur. A noiva vestiu um Haute Couture Elie Saab e, o noivo, um traje completo Burberry. "Nos conhecemos há seis anos, no meu primeiro trabalho em Tulum, no México, e o primeiro dele como produtor. Eu não falava inglês, então nós nos tornamos amigos porque ela era a única pessoa que eu entendia falando", contou a top, que faz parte do time de Angels da grife de lingeries Victoria's Secret. "O primeiro beijo foi há exatamente dois anos, em dezembro de 2010. Nos comunicamos por telefone durante dois meses, até que houve a possibilidade de eu voltar lá e nos encontramos de novo. Nossa relação desde o começo foi linda e compreensiva", revelou Emanuela. O pedido de casamento aconteceu quando a top estava em Buenos Aires e enquanto ela trabalhava ele foi procurar uma aliança. "Tenho certeza que para o Gaston não foi fácil. Ele levou 8 horas procurando e conseguiu achar o anel que encheu meus olhos de lágrimas. Quando eu cheguei, ele estava deitadinho na cama sem falar nada. Havia um buquê de flores em cima da mesa e uma caixinha no meio. EU me emocionei. Daí ele levantou da cama e pediu para eu abrir. Quando eu abri, ele fez a pergunta mágica: quer casar comigo? Foi lindo!" Ela acrescenta que eles irão se dividir entre Nova York e Tulum, pois ele é dono de uma empresa no México. http://ego.globo.com/famosos/noticia/2012/12/veja-fotos-do-casamento-da-top-emanuela-de-paula.html

Thank you ABB Fan. Keep researching :neo2: I was just curious if Ana is 1,83 how tall Karim is?

Ah cool thanks, finally some recent candids of her, wish we got more updates like Alessandra and Adriana/Gisele get on their threads but I guess its good for Ana as she still has her career but not to the point she will be followed by paparazzi everywhere like Ale/Adriana/Gisele/Miranda and are you sure its Prada? I'm sure its Celine, it looks like the mini tote and also found a picture online on google which says it is Celine. http://www.tophandba...en-Black-53.jpg (this looks to be the same bag)

They are at the annual Art Basel Exhibition in Miami. She looks great. Her hair are darker again(good) Ana Beatriz Barros Fan I like the bag as well, really cute. Only I think it is Prada, not Celine. Have you noticed that Karim's mother has the same bag?
