Heidi Klum talks kids fashion, motherhood and fave LI spot http://long-island.newsday.com/kids/long-island-parent-talk-1.3679226/heidi-klum-talks-kids-fashion-motherhood-and-fave-li-spot-1.3910912 As a mother of four, supermodel and “Project Runway” host, Heidi Klum, knows a thing or two about children's fashion — which was her inspiration behind designing her Truly Scrumptious line, exclusively for Babies R Us. The whimsical collection, hitting stores Sept. 15, includes plush toys, bedding, diaper bags, furniture and clothes, sizes newborn to 5T, featuring googly-eyed monsters and dinosaurs, her sons, Johan and Henry's, favorite things, and tutus, something her daughters, Leni and Lou, love. “In the future, I'm going to have my son Johan do some of the monster drawings on the T-shirts for the boys,” she said at the Truly Scrumptious launch event in Union Square last week. “He's a great artist and has a great imagination.” The fashion icon, wearing a Michael Kors dress and Alaia shoes on the pink carpet, spoke with newsday.com about Truly Scrumptious, being a working mom and her favorite things — her kids. Q. How did you come up with the name “Truly Scrumptious?" "I heard it in the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.“ It was always a favorite of mine and I thought the name was fantastic for a children's line because children are truly scrumptious, especially when they are dressed in adorable clothes. When I looked it up, I was shocked that the name was available.” Q. What does the collection mean for your career? “For me, it is something that I enjoy doing. I like to design. I really enjoy making things, I always have. I love being creative — I draw, take photos and rip things out. I'm always looking for new ideas and I wanted to find one place where I could do it all.” Q. Can you talk about the diaper bags and how they are designed specifically for moms? “I never really used a lot of diaper bags because they always looked too 'kid' but I wanted to create new ones that were more fashionable and cool for mom. The ones I designed have a great print on the inside so it's brighter and you can find everything, but the outside is cool and stylish. I also made some great pouches -- that you can fill with wipes and a diaper -- that you can use, for example, when you're at a restaurant so you don't have to lug all your stuff with you to the bathroom.” Q. With four kids, how do you balance it all? “I think if you're working and you do have a child you have to give yourself a break. I don't think you can beat yourself up over sometimes not being there, say when your child loses a tooth. At the end of the day you have to be a happy mom, too, and everyone has to figure it out for themselves what that is. I enjoy to work and I enjoy to be at home. I think we have to roll with the punches. You just have to embrace it.” Q. What's your parenting style? “Some days Henry wants a 'fro, then he wants a mohawk, then he wants color on the mohawk and then stars etched in. He sees say a basketball player who has a star or strip etched in his hair and he says, 'Mommy I would love to have that.' I'm OK with letting them try things, whenever it's not dangerous or harming to them. It's part of experiencing and finding themselves. If it was something unhealthy, I wouldn't let them do it.” Q. What's trending with your kids right now? “My kids are really into tongue tattoos. It comes in some cereal boxes and you can also buy them. It's like a sticker and you stick it on your tongue and you have a tattoo. They love the bug tattoos. They're really into that because they think it's funny. A few of my kids want to take gymnastics after watching the Olympics.” Q. What's one of your favorite things to do when you're in New York? “We went to Splish Splash (in Calverton) twice. Splish Splash is awesome! We've gone to Broadway shows, the Empire State Building, rode the double-decker bus, went to the Museum of Natural History — we love New York.”

The full The Hollywood Reporter interview:

http://news.stylecaster.com/celebrity-editor-braves-sea-mommy-bloggers-heidi-klums-kids-line/ When we heard that Heidi Klum was designing a line called Truly Scrumptious (named after a song in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) geared towards little tykes to be sold exclusively at mega-retailer Babies’R'Us, we were intrigued. We were intrigued enough that I was dispatched into some rather abysmal weather into a horde of mommy bloggers (who ran the gamut from the “Celine cuff” moms to the “Talbots” moms) who were all desperate to talk to the amazing and gorgeous Miss Klum, clad in a Michael Kors leopard frock and Alaia’s most fabulous stripper heels. Let’s just say she stood out amongst the backdrop of strollers. Upon arrival, it became clear Heidi really is the working woman’s superhero. I listened as fellow attendees gushed about the many hats Klum wears. While asking a celebrity about how she balances her career and family life might seem like a run-of-the-mill interview question, these women really took Klum’s advice to heart and wanted her tips. And why shouldn’t they? While modeling certainly paid the bills for awhile, Klum has successfully branded herself as an expert in all fields (she even penned an advice book called Heidi Klum’s Body of Knowledge), and children’s clothing seems to be no exception. Her designs were clearly inspired by her creative four children — who, she also noted, have recently discovered the merits of fake feces products. When it came time to interview Klum, the aforementioned bloggers stormed the pink carpet, and we only managed to get a few words in. Here are some tidbits from the pool of questions people lobbed at her. Bloggers: As a mother with a 17-month-old and a full-time job, I am constantly wrecked with guilt. In your position, how do you balance it all? Klum: When you’re working very hard and you have a child, you just have to give yourself a break. You can’t beat yourself up over sometimes not being there. Sometimes, it’s just impossible. If you have to work, you have to work. I enjoy to work, that is what I love to do. Sometimes you have to roll with the punches, go with the flow if you miss something. Find what works for you. What does this collection mean to your career? For me, it is something that I enjoy doing. I like to design. It is not necessarily that improves my earnings. I make a lot of money doing a modeling gig, and most of the time that’s much easier. I show up for one day, twirl around and smile for the camera. That’s much easier, but I really enjoy making things. I always have. What celebrity kids have style you admire? Who would you like to see wearing your line? I don’t think about celebrity kids. I think about kids, you know? I really don’t. Good question, though! I think all kids are cute and they all deserve the best. As a mom, you always try to find the greatest and newest, whether it’s a toy, educational thing or food. You always want the best for them. It doesn’t matter if you’re a celebrity or not a celebrity. And when it comes to clothes, it’s all about fun. Some basics, but fun. And of course comfort! Tell us more about the diaper bags in this collection. Well, as a mom, we want to be cool. You have to be functional, with a lot of pockets in there. It has to be washable. I don’t like to overload a mom because everyone packs differently. I never really used a lot of diaper bags because they always looked too much like a stroller. It has to look like you and not like the kid. I’m not into that matchy-matchy thing with your child. It should look the way you look, so I wanted a fashionable and cool diaper bag. I have great prints in the inside, and the outside has animal print and other options. I also made pouches, where you can put a few things so you don’t have to lug the entire bag. You mentioned your children are already into fashion. Do they have other talents or interests? Yes, they all take piano, and they’re all great swimmers. And after the Olympics, I have a few who want to get into gymnastics! We’re going to look into that next.

http://ht.ly/1lC6ES Q&A With Heidi Klum Heidi Klum, star of Project Runway, model, actress, designer and mom dishes on her kids and her parenting style. Describe your parenting style in one word: Loving. I had an upbringing that was quite harsh. My dad was very strict and at times very harsh, and I didn’t want to be like that. For me, it’s more reasoning and explaining when they do something wrong, for them to understand. Sometimes, it doesn’t sink in immediately, but I’d rather them learn over time than all at once. What is one behavioral or physical trait you hope your children didn’t inherit from you? My ADD maybe, but then again that’s not bad either. It’s hard for me sometimes to focus when I do things, it’s like I’m doing one thing, then I’m on the Internet, on the phone at the same time, and then someone walks in with a question. What was the best piece of parenting advice you ever received? To kind of roll with the flow. Our house is full of life, laughter, and mayhem. Every dinnertime something spills. Or they are wearing uniforms for school, and when we have breakfast in the morning, food gets all over their hands. You can tell them a thousand times “Do not wipe it on your pants,” and sure enough they wipe it on their pants. But that’s when you roll with it. My house is not like a museum. You can see that children live there. It’s their house as much as mine. What’s your favorite pick-me-up when you’re tired? I don’t have one. I just sleep. A lot of the time I will sleep when the kids go to sleep. My whole lifestyle has changed with children, even though I never really partied or went out a lot. I was never that person, so it didn’t change the older I got. It got worse I think. So when they go to bed, a lot of times I fall asleep with them in the bed, or they all come in the bed with me, (which I like to do a lot). Sometimes I fall sleep and they are still watching Umizoomi or whatever! What’s your favorite piece from your new ‘Truly Scrumptious’ collection launching at Babies R’ US? I love all of the jackets, but the pink satin military jacket is my favorite. Leni would love it. Name the one mom essential you couldn’t live without: Schedule. You have to schedule. When you have four kids especially, they all have different things that they like to do, different friends, and different interests. So, to make sure that they all get what they individually deserve, you have to make sure that they get it. What inspires you when you are designing? My children, the fashion industry, and a lot of mixed patterns. You know when you see flower print with leopard mixed together? These kind of wilder things, like polka dots and stripes. I don’t know if you remember Mondo from last year’s Project Runway, he’s very good at putting patterns together that you normally wouldn’t see together, he would put them together and they would just blend in amazingly. You have to have a feel for that, and he did. I tried to do that a little bit with some of the toys. For example, the little dinosaurs, they have polka dot legs with a striped body. You can do it, if you keep the colors similar. We did it with rugs and some other items. What’s the most important thing to keep in mind while dressing a baby bump? Comfort, but for me I always like to be sexy. Sometimes it would be the most form-fitting dress, where it’s completely tight, I love that feel. Sometimes I loved wearing like a muumuu with a crazy print on it. It always depends on how you feel. Do your kids dress themselves? Do they have individual styles? Themselves. I have bought them things; it doesn’t work. They want what they want--especially my son Henry; he is so into fashion. Sometimes, they come down with the most unusual, strange, things. Henry, for example, would wear a Lakers t-shirt with a tie over it. Or a t-shirt with jeans and then he will put a belt over the t-shirt. I don’t know why. He wanted to have a mohawk because he saw someone who had a mohawk. So I said okay and buzzed it; I buzzed all of his hair. Then he wanted it blond, so my mom and I bleached it. Then a month later, he wanted it all off, and now he has it off. Johan usually wants to do whatever Henry does, like when he buzzed his hair all the way off, he wanted it too. It has been hard, you have to learn [how to manage] this type of hair, with different products, and combing everyday; it’s a lot of work. It was four years of growing his hair, and caring for it, and then he’s like, “Okay, now, Mama, I want my hair off too! Henry has it off.” I don’t like to push my kids into something that I want. I want them to be growing into themselves, instead of me pushing. So we shaved it all off. I kept it, and then we made art with the hair, which was fun. What job would you say has been the most difficult: model, actress, television host, spokesperson, designer, or mom? Being a mom is the hardest. With things in business, if something goes wrong, it goes wrong. You don’t want to mess up with your children. That is something that you can never take back. My kids are not allowed to walk in the street without holding hands. I’m very strict with safety.

http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/life_and_entertainment/2012/07/23/model-has-flair-for-odd-challenges.html Heidi Klum: Model has flair for odd challenges ‘Runway’ host makes designers think outside box Supermodel, super-businesswoman: That’s Heidi Klum, the Project Runway host, former Victoria’s Secret “Angel,” actress, spokeswoman, video-game star, clothing designer, fragrance entrepreneur, singer and Halloween enthusiast. Klum and her Runway co-stars began their 10th season this month. She talked recently about her early fear that the show would tank her fashion career and why the contestants need to do a better job of using their reality-TV fame. Q: Are you doing anything differently for this season? A: We always want to improve. When we started, we never thought that we would make it this far. It was something that we started filming in the dark, not really knowing how it would be perceived by the public or the people in the fashion industry — especially the fashion industry, which can sometimes be a little bit snobby. We were a little worried that we would still have a job. But they were on our side. Q: What did you hope viewers would like about it? A: I tried to explain to people, before it came on the air, that it was more documentary-style than reality TV. At that time, when we premiered, this word reality gave people a bit of a bad taste. . . . But you can see that people love talent. Q: What’s your favorite part of doing the show? A: Thinking about challenges. My favorite challenges are the unconventional ones, when they have to make something out of unconventional materials and make it look wearable. We had a challenge one year where the designers had to make something out of car parts. Some of the most amazing things happened. They used the belt or some glass from the mirror and sewed it into a dress.When people are forced to work with this kind of stuff, they get really creative and come up with some amazing designs.  Q: Are you ever nervous that some of the challenges are too outrageous? A: On the very first episode, I was worried. We decided to do the challenge where they got $50 and they could go into a supermarket for 30 minutes and then make an outfit. I was really worried about that because I thought, “This is going to set the tone of our show, and if they don’t come up with something that is up to standard, then we’re going to tank.” Then, when we were sitting there at the runway, the music started and the first few models came out, I was like “Yes!” That was a make-or-break time.I’m not worried anymore, though, because the designers have shown, year after year, that they can actually make real fashion out of nothing or out of weird things. Q: With Runway, obviously, the contestants need to have a certain skill level to compete. How tough is it to come up with the right mix every season? A: Well, in our show we can’t cast for personality because it’s based on talent. If we have someone who is really fun and flamboyant but they can’t sew, they’re off the air. They won’t make it far, so what’s the point? Q: Do you have a wish list of people you would like to have as judges? A: Yes, of course. I would love to have the first lady, Michelle Obama. I’ve been saying it over and over. You guys just have to write more about it so it will get to her. Q: Are the show’s famous fans approaching you to be guest judges? A: Yeah, all the time — just recently, Julia Roberts’ niece, Emma Roberts. She’s a really cute young actress. She was like “I would love to be a guest judge on Project Runway.” She’s cute, and she dresses really nice, so we’ll see. Q: Do you keep in touch with the designers from the show? Have you worn some of their designs afterward? A: I always try. It would be easier if the designers had a little bit more of a push themselves. If I were a designer and I heard someone say, “I would love to wear that,” I would be on their case. I would make it. I would be like “What are your measurements?” I think a lot of them miss the boat, unfortunately.
