Liv Tyler: You can learn style

Liv Tyler insists that style isnt just something youre born with. The stunning actress is celebrated for her fashion credentials, but insists that having an eye for style is something that can be learnt. Liv thinks budding fashionistas should embrace finding their own direction when it comes to their signature style. Style isn't just something you're born with. There are certain people with whom I've grown up who have an innate ability to dress themselves well - everything they put on looks incredibly sophisticated, simple and elegant, she told British newspaper The Telegraph. But you can learn to find your own style, too, and it's exciting to grow and develop it. Don't feel as though you need to be dressing a certain way - fashion is great because it allows you to pick and choose what works for you and what doesn't. Liv says fashion should come naturally. The 34-year-old star believes wardrobe choices should be a spontaneous decision. Don't overthink your l

Don't feel as though you need to be dressing a certain way - fashion is great because it allows you to pick and choose what works for you and what doesn't Do your research Use as many references as possible in working out what you do and don't like. Watch films, look at old photos of models and actors, and observe and study people. You'll see that the things you are most drawn to are the sorts of looks you could recreate. I really love to research and look back at different things in film, fashion and art - everything and anyt

Printed trousers are having a moment and the way to wear them is loud and proud

By Gemma Hayward Thursday Dec 8 2011 Its a trend thats spreading like wildfire; a trend that is transforming a run-of-the-mill wardrobe staple and a trend that more than a few out there may think is utterly ghastly. Whichever way you look at it, its having the mother of all effects on a pair of trousers near you. The transformation of trousers from classic wardrobe staple to look-at-me fashion statement began last season with acid bright jeans (an acquired and determinedly youthful taste) and peg-leg trousers (belted and gathered high on the waist, 1980s style, these were also far from shy and retiring). Now, pattern and print are the story and legs citywide have never been covered in so loud and proud a manner. The autumn-hued plum (sorry, aubergine) coloured trouser is still a force to be reckoned with, but its positively demure compared to any number of more busy alternatives. There arent many things in the world to which a leopard hasnt lent its spots and, with that in mind,a big-c

Well, it seems that denim purveyor G-Star noticed too, as the French-born actress/model has been named the new face of the brands spring campaign. Joining the ranks of Elettra Wiedemann, Liv Tyler and Gemma Arterton, Posy will appear alongside actor Vincent Gallo in the forthcoming ads, shot by photographer Anton Corbijn. The resulting photos are faithful to what theyve been like for the past few years , Posy tells PEOPLE, noting that the images are very simple, black and white, but with something quite tough and honest. And if you were expecting traditional editorial poses, the 29-year-old says, I dont think its fashion-y at all. Its closer to rock n roll. Fashion, however, is not something easily defined for the star, who says that when it comes to her own style, I just wear what I feel like wearing. Judging from

MTV2's weekly hip-hop countdown show " Sucker Free " is crowning the kings and queens of rap this Sunday at 11 p.m. with its own awards show . Held at LIV Fountainebleau Miami Beach, the Sucker Free Awards will be anything but traditional, with the YMCMB performance already getting lots of buzz. To get our heads around this year's SFA nominees, we decided to enlist the help of the foremost hip-hop experts we know, Eric and Jeff Rosenthal from Its The Real . The hosts of MTV Clutch's The Check-In have done the Master P dance with Chromeo , forced Childish Gambino to answer questions as Common and joked about hipster mustaches with Talib Kweli , so we're pretty sure they're qualified to discuss anything hip-hop. And we should immediately believe and support their opinions without question. Must Follow Artist Eric: This is a tough one, they all seem very permissible, but I think in the end the p! erson wh o's going to win will be Chris Brown b
