Pixie Lott is the latest pop name to be signed by model agency Select. The London agency, which has overseen the careers of top models from Agyness Deyn to David Gandy, also signed Eliza Doolittle earlier this year.
“Pixie is stunning,” legendary model scout Tandy Anderson, of Select Model Management, told us. “She has presence, style, an infectious personality, and has already caught the eye of various designers and photographers, from Dolce & Gabbana to Ellen Von Unwerth. She’s a talented and successful musician and we are confident that as a model, she can enjoy similar success.”
“I’ve always loved experimenting with different looks and styles through work – it’s one of the perks of the job!” Lott added. ” I’ve always been surrounded by clothes, and I love fashion and accessorising. I’ve learnt a lot about what works and what doesn’t, which has helped to build my confidence and interest in fashion. Music and fashion go together well for me as they are both very expressive. I was asked to design a range for Lipsy, which was a great way to experiment more, and now I’ve got the opportunity to immerse myself in fashion at another level which is really exciting. Being with Select is like getting my first real fashion job after an apprenticeship! When we took the Polaroids, I’d just had my hair cut by Akin Konizi, I put on my Miu Miu dress, my gold crucifix necklace, my Pixie necklace and did my own make-up. I can’t wait to get going!”
Singer Pixie Lott says 60s American actress Edie Sedgwick and fellow popstar Katy Perry are her style inspirations.
The 20-year-old singer – who has her own range of clothing for UK high street chain Lipsy – admits the 60s American actress has always been an icon of hers while fellow popstar Katy shares a similar taste in clothes.
She told more! magazine: “I’m a big fan of the 60s – Edie Sedwick is my style icon. I love it when this season changes and you can bust out the chunky knits and layering.
“Katy wears some really cool, young things. And she’s obsessed with cats too, like me. I love anything cat-related, so I’ll be living in the leopard-print hot pants from my Lipsy range.”
As well as talking about her own icons, Pixie also gave some advice on dressing to feel confident and look good.
She said: “Wear what you’re comfortable in, it’s as simple as that. Don’t be dictated by trends, wear what suits you. There are definitely things I wouldn’t wear which I don’t feel comfortable in.
“I love dresses with waist-belts, as they nip you in at your smallest part and skater skirts are great for skimming over your thighs.”
Pop star Pixie Lott is to headline next month’s Manchester Pride for the event’s 21st birthday.
The Mama Do singer will be supported by Blue and the Sugababes, while other acts include Patrick Wolf, Pam Ann, Soundgirl and Heather Peace.
Manchester Pride, which is one of the UK’s biggest gay celebrations, takes place between Friday 26th and Monday 30th August. Weekend tickets cost £20.
Festival director Jackie Crozier said: “We are over the moon that Pixie Lott will be headlining Manchester Pride this year. She is fresh, fun and talented – keeping very much in line with our Loud and Proud mantra for 2011.
“In addition to Pixie, the other acts we have just announced are all brilliant. We have a real range to the talent this year, all who represent the Best of British parade theme. We are definitely set for a very exciting 21st birthday party this year.”
Pixie Lott, Ash, and The Futureheads will appear at Tramlines Festival in Sheffield.
The artists will be among over 600 acts to play across the city for free between July 22 and 24, in a showcase of both big names and up-and-coming acts from a cross section of genres, from heavy metal to dubstep.

The Brit nominated pop superstar Pixie Lott is to star in Stoke-on-Trent’s 2011Live one-day musical festival later this month.
The million-album selling singer has been confirmed as a headline act for the July 16 concert in Hanley Park, joining Tinchy Stryder, Nicola Roberts and The Wanted on the top-class line-up.
Organisers announced the London-born sensation, adding her to a final gig list that will see 14 bands and artists playing to a crowd of thousands in an eight hour show.
It is the first time Pixie will have played in Stoke-on-Trent and she cannot wait.
“I am really excited to be playing at 2011Live. I have not played in Stoke-on-Trent so I am really looking forward to coming to the city and getting on that stage in front of thousands and thousands of people. I know 2010Live was a great success and I know this year’s gig will be aswell. I can’t wait,” said Pixie.
The multi-talented 20-year-old, who also dances and acts and has her own clothing line, released her debut album, Turn It Up, in 2009 and it has since sold over one million copies in the Uk alone. She has received three Brit nominations, has won an MTV award and sold over two and half million singles, two of which – ‘Mama Do’ and ‘Boys and Girls’ – were number ones. (more…)

Pixie Lott won’t leave home without accessories as she feels uncomfortable if she hasn’t teamed her outfit with large amounts of jewellery.
The ‘Cry Me Out’ hitmaker feels uncomfortable if she hasn’t teamed her outfit with large amounts of jewellery or flowers in her hair.
She said: “My fashion mantra is make it your own. You can take a simple dress and put personality into it by adding your own little touches.
“I won’t leave home without accessorising. I don’t feel right without rings on every finger, an armful of bangles or flowers in my hair.
“My jewellery box is full of Disney Couture, Rock ‘N Rose, Tiffany & Co and trinkets that belong to my gran.”
Pixie has vowed to expand her wardrobe for the summer by experimenting with different colours.
She told Now magazine: “My summer style resolution is to inject more colour into my wardrobe.
“This season is all about bold colour blocking and clashing brights, so I’ve just bought a pair of colour pop blue wedges. I have more fun with fashion when the sun’s out.”

Recently we managed to catch up with Pixie Lott and pick her brains about her new collection with Lipsy and ask her all about her busy year!
With a new single and album set for release later this year, Pixie’s got a lot on her plate but she’s enjoying every minute of it! Here’s what she had to say…
How have things been?
“Things have been really well over the past couple of months. I’ve just been busy getting the collection finished and working on getting the new album and single out. I’m just excited to see what the fans think of the new Lipsy line.”
How did you find last year?
“It was such a fun and busy time. I got to experience so many different things that I never expected to do and the album did really well.”
How did you get involved with Lipsy?
“Well this is my third collection with them now and I’m really enjoying working with Lipsy and getting involved in creating new lines. I was really happy when they approached me about it and it has all gone down really well with the fans.” (more…)
Lipsy have released a new edition of their magazine, with a special Pixie-themed issue. The e-zine features photos and promotional adverts taken from Pixie’s new collection with the brand as well as images from her launch party and other Lipsy products. Check it out by viewing below.
The Daily Mail have released this preview of Pixie’s cover taken from the upcoming July issue of Company magazine! I mentioned a while ago that Pixie was on set for this shoot, which features our girl modelling looks from her new Lipsy range and so it’s great to see the finished edition. No word yet on when exactly the issue will be out but as ever, you can be sure that we will be the first to let you know and I will definitely get some scans up for you all. Stay tuned for more!
The Brit songstress is famed for her quirky style, and is currently working on her third collaboration with glam clothing brand Lipsy.
The 20-year-old says although American fashion is very glam, she prefers the more edgier, casual look that her native girls sport.
‘L.A. girls have a different sense of style. They look glam and groomed all the time. But I prefer British fashion. It’s much more individual, very cool and we’re great at being kooky and fun!’ she said in an interview with Closer magazine.
The British singer says America is best for shopping however, as the clothes are cheaper. Pixie loves shopping in boutiques in London but sometimes the pieces are too expensive.
‘There are lots of boutiques in London, but the bargains are in America. Brands like Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Levi’s are cheaper over there,’ she revealed.
Pixie says she can’t live without accessories and relies on them to constantly update her look. The blonde beauty has also revealed her fashion ‘guilty pleasure’.
‘Jewellery,’ she said when asked what her must-have item is. ‘ wear rings every day, on all my fingers, and layer loads of necklaces. And UGG boots are my guilty pleasure.’
The singer, 20, on her skin saviour and designer bargain tips.
My earliest childhood memory
“I fell off our shed aged three. I’d gone to look at caterpillars, slipped and knocked myself out. Dramatic!”
My most special holiday destination
“I love Portugal. I used to go there every summer with my family. We would go out for meals and relax on the beach, all the usual fun holiday stuff. I love jet-skiing and riding on banana boats, too.”
My latest splurge
“I went on a shopping spree the last time I was in LA. I got some great deals on bikinis from Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren.”
How I relax
“I love coming home to London. I chill out with my friends in cafes, bars or the park.”
The smell that reminds me of home
“My sister always wears Miss Dior Cherie, £44 for 30ml EDP, so it makes me think of family and home. And Chanel Allure Homme, £59.24 for 100ml EDT, reminds me of my brother.” (more…)
