Gwen Stefani Fashion Designs Inspired By Husband’s Style

Gwen Stefani takes inspiration from her husband’s clothes when designing for her fashion label.

The singer’s collections for L.A.M.B. have been a critical and commercial success, and she loves coming up with ideas for new lines. Gwen is married to musician Gavin Rossdale, who she has two kids with. She loves his rock’n’roll sense of style, and says his look often makes it into her collections.

“We just do our own thing, and it always seems to work. He has such great style,” she told The July issue of British magazine InStyle. “I get ideas from a lot of his clothes for the women’s clothing line because I like that kind of mixture. I use a lot of stuff in his closet. I’ll be like, ‘Ooh, we should do a girl version of this!’”

Gavin also impacts another area of Gwen’s life. She is renowned for her polished appearance and dedication to make-up, and has revealed she always wears red lipstick because that is what Gavin likes.

“I wear it all the time. I wear pink, I wear gloss, I wear everything, but my husband prefers when I wear red. I want him to like me still!” she explained. “I remember the first time I wore dark red lipstick. I was maybe 18, and I can remember the moment I put it on — in my Honda Prelude that I bought for like, $3,000 — and looking in the mirror going, ‘Good, I like that.’ Never again did I stop wearing it.”

Gwen Stefani Fears the Runway

Gwen Stefani admits she was a bag of nerves when she had to hit the runway in front of an audience during one of her L.A.M.B. fashion shows at New York Fashion Week.

The No Doubt star says she’s no catwalk queen.

“I do get nervous right before the girls go out, and I don’t like going out there myself,” she said.

“The catwalk is just a different place to the stage. I find it so much more scary. Everyone is there and can be critical about your work. I’m proud of my work but it’s a daunting place to be.”

Stefani recently admitted the success of her fashion line has taken her by surprise.

“I’m still so blown away that we’ve got this far,” she said in September last year.

“When I first started, I really didn’t know what I was doing at all.

“I mean, I’ve made clothes my whole life, but I was just naïve about the fashion world. “But I think it’s [successful] because I’ve been really involved, you know?

“Picking the samples, inspirations, color palette. I have a great team of people helping me.”

Because the Night Belongs to Rock Goddesses

Gwen Stefani came to her LAMB after-party without her flashiest accessory—18-month-old son Zuma, who’d been with her at her show earlier that day at Milk Studios in a matching leather jacket. She had her hands full without him, though—the cocktail hour at Milk’s eighth-floor Surf Lodge Outpost was as much a receiving line as anything, with publicists and security guards telling photographers to cool their jets and let people like Estée Lauder’s John Demsey in for a chat.

“It was a challenging couple days with the blizzard, Chinese New Year, Federal Express, child with an earache,” Stefani told us. “But I feel like all that stuff brought on a lot of creativity. We came up with a lot of looks that we wouldn’t have thought of without the pressure.” The show must go on, right? “It crossed my mind that we didn’t have all our looks, but I didn’t think about canceling,” she said, adding that she’d managed to get to bed around 1:30 the night before her presentation. She seemed intent on setting an earlier curfew this night and was long gone by the time Josh Hartnett came by and got a kitchen tour from Surf Lodge chef Sam Talbot.

Also party-hosting within the multi-space Milk location were LnA’s Lauren Alexander and April Leight. The L.A.-based designers celebrated their first-ever New York show with a crowd that included Heidi Mount, Ally Hilfiger, and Genevieve Jones. Late night, the suddenly ubiquitous Patti Smith took the stage for a set that included crowd favorite “Because the Night” and a song she dedicated to Alexander McQueen. She left the crowd with this: “If we have lost loved ones, the best way to cope is to celebrate life.”

Fab Exclusive! Gwen Stefani Talks L.A.M.B, Trends, Trousers

Gwen Stefani left her LA life behind temporarily to attend the Fall presentation of L.A.M.B. at New York Fashion Week. How cool is this shot of her with her models? But before we check out her latest rockin’ chic designs, let’s hear what one of the coolest mommies in Hollywood said about her Fall inspirations, her favorite trends, and design aspirations.

Her design aspirations:
I just want to make stuff that I want to wear . . . Stuff I want to wear every day that’s to the left enough that it makes you feel unique and individual, but also you can wear it. That’s my ultimate goal . . . I think the collection has a lot of that in it . . . That’s the hardest thing to do. It’s easy to make some glamorous dress and put all of your energy into that. To make that T-shirt that you just throw on that’s actually cool and funky and makes people go, “Whoa!” When they’re jealous, that’s what I want to do.

To hear what else Gwen said and to see her Fall ’10 line, read more.

On the Fall collection:
The collection is kind of based on this vintage, naughty Hollywood girl — starlet girl, and then a little bit of a modern, futuristic girl, and a little bit of a soldier girl . . . What I’ve learned is that you kind of have the inspiration, you have the picture, you have an idea, and what I love about fashion and about doing it is that it just sort of evolves into whatever it’s going to be . . . A lot of things drop out, a lot of things don’t make it, but at the end of the day it’s like the creative process of that picture and that drama that makes you very creative and come up with things that you wouldn’t. And some of my favorite looks of the show are things where we were like, “There’s nothing on this rack!” And then you put it together, and there is actually something on the rack. I can’t wait to see it all together, with the music, and the girls, and the girls look so beautiful. They blow my mind.

On trend she’s looking forward to:
I just love when things that I love come back into trend. It’s funny because it does recycle, doesn’t it? I don’t really know what the trends, are; obviously my team kind of does that thing and I listen, whatever I like I just kind of go for.

Current trends she’s loving:
My whole life I always wore men’s pants, trousers, and would be that look. And I had to fight for years to try to get people to like want me to — and now they’re in. They’re gonna always be in for me. Like when they’re out, I’ll still wear trousers.

L.A.M.B.’s Rock Star Casual

“Casual, easy and accessible,” was how Gwen Stefani described her Spring 2010 collection for her seven-year-old fashion brand L.A.M.B., a smart and safe sentiment that she successfully executed in her 40 look series presented for an intimate audience at the M.A.C and Milk venue in downtown New York on Thursday, Sept. 10, the first day of New York fashion week.

With her signature blonde pompadour, dressed in a blue military jacket and black silk parachute pants, Stefani politely took photos with star-struck fashionistas as she kept tabs on her two little boys, Kingston and Zuma Nesta Rock.

The look was California casual with an abundance of draping – blousey tunics, harem pants and jersey dresses – in bright solids, tribal prints or tie-dyed, all perfect attire for next summer’s hot outdoor music festival.

While not without some standard punk references, like a plaid corset and bomber jacket, judging by the number of models wearing only tights or no pants at all with their voluminous cocoon jackets, it brought to mind a more current musical reference, Lady Gaga. But for those inclined to wear pants, aside from the harem pants, there were also plenty of slouchy cropped silk or denim cargo pants.

“They’re clothes that people want to wear everyday,” said Stefani before dashing backstage again with her husband Gavin Rossdale and kids in tow.
