Christian Lacroix Biography

Birth Name : Christian Marie Marc Lacroix

Date of Birth : 16 May 1951, Arles, France

Nationality : French

Occupation : Fashion designer

Christian Lacroix was born on May 16, 1951 in Arles, France, under the highly symbolic sign of Taurus.

He spent his solitary childhood between the Camargue beaches and the Alpilles pine forests, amongst the Gallo-Roman ruins and the remnants of the 1944 WWII bombings, attending bullfighting events and theater or opera festivals, immersed in both Provencal and Gypsy traditions, and enjoying museum paintings and attic books. During his adolescence, he discovered a passion for Oscar Wilde and the Beatles' England as well as Barcelona and Venice. He later studied Art History at the University of Montpellier. In 1973, he continued his studies in Paris at both the Sorbonne and the Ecole du Louvre, with the ambition to become a museum curator.

Though Lacroix was happy to create haute couture for the house of Patou, he also wanted to create ready-to-wear lines. However, de Mouy would not let Lacroix do this. By the end of 1986, Lacroix was open to offers from other companies. After showing his spring/summer collection for 1987, Lacroix signed a contract to open his own couture company and quit Patou. He was able to just walk because he was only an employee of the company. De Mouy was not happy about the abrupt departure and sued him. De Mouy accused Lacroix, as well as Picart, of planning to leave for months before the designer left his employ. Upon his departure, de Mouy closed down the couture arm of Patou.

Side projects aside, Lacroix remained a fashion force. In 2002, he added an additional designing job to his plate. He agreed to become the head designer for the house of Pucci. Lacroix had been influenced by the label in his career, and wanted to help further develop Pucci. Pucci had its heyday a few decades earlier, and was stumbling as a company, but its new owner wanted to keep the name alive. Lacroix had to work within the Pucci aesthetic which worked well with his own approach to fashion. Pucci was big and bold, but with a slightly more stylized look. For his own label and other work, Lacroix looked to a new source of inspiration. He told Jess Cartner-Morley of the Guardian, "Today, I feel more than ever connected to the future. Ten years ago, my work was connected with the past, with nostalgia, but now the engine driving me is my life here now and the future."

Chris Tucker Biography

Birth Name : Christopher Tucker

Date of Birth : 31 August 1972, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Height : 6' 1" (1.85 m)

Occupation : Actor

Tucker was born Christopher Tucker in Atlanta, Georgia on August 31, 1972, the youngest son of Mary Louise (née Bryant) and Norris Tucker.[2] His father was an independent businessman who owned a janitorial service.[4][5] Tucker was raised in Decatur, Georgia. After graduating from Columbia High School in Decatur, GA. Tucker moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in comedy and movies.

He pursued his early love for stand-up comedy by touring various dance clubs until The Comedy Act Theater opened in his hometown. At 19, he jumped up on stage and performed his magic on amateur night. For his pains he received a standing ovation and an invitation to return as a regular. He continued to perform at the theater for a year before venturing to Los Angeles to launch his acting career.

Well-known for his trademark rapid-fire wisecracks, actor-comedian Chris Tucker broke into movies in the mid-1990s, following a successful career in stand-up. After his scene-stealing turn in director F. Gary Gray's 1995 cult comedy hit "Friday," Tucker took on the role of his career as Jackie Chan's comic foil and partner in the action-comedy, "Rush Hour" (1998). Thanks to the worldwide success of "Rush Hour," Tucker became the fastest actor ever to make Hollywood's elite "$20 Million Club" - a princely sum he received for appearing in the 2001 sequel. Despite wracking up a prolific flurry of credits at the start of his career, Tucker's output slowed to a trickle by the early 2000s, limiting his film roles strictly to the "Rush Hour" franchise. Nevertheless, the comedian's star power remained significant enough to once again command a $20 million payday - against 20% of the gross - for his next film, the inevitable "Rush Hour 3" (2007).

Chris Pratt biography

Birth Name : Christopher Michael Pratt

Date of Birth : 21 June 1979, Virginia, Minnesota, USA

Nickname : Monkeyboy

Height : 6' 2" (1.88 m)

Occupation : Actor

When Chris Pratt was 19, he moved to Hawaii with a group of hometown friends where he was "discovered" by actress Rae Dawn Chong. He was her waiter at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Maui and made her bust up laughing with his forward sense of humor. It just so happened she was looking for the lead character in her horror/comedy Cursed Part 3 (2000). She gave him an audition. Four days later, Chris began production in LA as a leading role in Chong's directorial debut. After wrapping Cursed in 2001, and cashing the 750 bucks it gave him, he thought, "What the hell?" and bought a used car and started couch surfing and going to auditions.

The good-looking goofball next door, Chris Pratt's secret weapons were his offbeat charm and innate decency, a rare combination in cutthroat Hollywood. He made his first mark as the dim-but-lovable Bright Abbott on "Everwood" (The WB, 2002-06), and followed that up as a spacey student on the last season of "The O.C." (FOX, 2003-07). On the big screen, he survived an Amy Sedaris seduction attempt in "Strangers with Candy" (2005), subtly undermined James McAvoy in "Wanted" (2008), and found himself dumped by Anne Hathaway in "Bride Wars" (2009). Fans eagerly followed his real-life romance with his "Everwood" onscreen sister Emily VanCamp and 2009 marriage to movie star Anna Faris, but his biggest success came in the breakout role of the clueless-but-cute Andy Dwyer on "Parks and Recreation" (NBC, 2009- ). While Pratt may have made his name playing charming chuckleheads, the actor seemed ready to prove that he could do much more.

Chris Noth Biography

NAME: Christopher David Noth

OCCUPATION: Film Actor, Theater Actor, Television Actor

BIRTH DATE: November 13, 1954 (Age: 57)

EDUCATION: Marlboro College, Yale School of Drama

PLACE OF BIRTH: Madison, Wisconsin

Actor. Born November 13, 1954, in Madison, Wisconsin, Noth grew up in Connecticut, England, Yugoslavia, and Spain. His father, an insurance salesman, died when he was eight years old, and his mother, Jeanne Parr, worked as a television news reporter for CBS, pioneering the field for women.

Noth claims to have been a screw-up in grade school, but his time at the alternative Marlboro College in Vermont, where he began acting, served as an artistic inspiration. Following his college graduation in 1978, Noth studied acting with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, and after appearing in several stage productions, he made his feature film debut in Smithereens (1982), playing a transvestite prostitute.

mposing in stature, Chris Noth was readily identified with his roles as Detective Mike Logan on the long-running series “Law & Order” (NBC, 1990-10) and, perhaps even more famously, as the charming rogue Mr. Big on “Sex and the City” (HBO, 1998-2004). But his resume also included stage, screen and television work going back as far as 1982. Stereotypically tall, dark and handsome, Noth brought a commanding screen presence with charm to spare, and throughout his career made a specialty out of playing direct, sometimes even callous characters but all the while with a twinkle in his eye, making the actor irresistible to both female and male viewers throughout his career.

Chris Evans biography

Birth Name : Christopher Robert Evans

Date of Birth : 13 June 1981, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

Height : 6' 0½" (1.84 m)

Occupation : Actor

Chris Evans - not to be confused with the British DJ and wild man of the same name - began his acting career in typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theater. But it was his rapid rise to stardom that was unusual. Bitten by the acting bug in the first grade because his older sister, Carly, started performing, Evans followed suit and began appearing in school plays. From there, it was a quick jump to theater camp and later an internship for a casting office - a position he held one summer while living in a hole-in-the-wall in Brooklyn, New York. Once Evans made friends with a few agents on the job, it was a straight shot to television and blockbuster features.

Originally from Framingham, Massachusetts, the Evans family moved to suburban Sudbury when he was 11 years-old. While at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, his obvious talent led others to lavish praise and encouragement on him, particularly his drama teacher, who cited his performance as "Leontes" in "The Winter's Tale" as exemplary of his skill. After more school plays and regional theater, he moved to New York and attended the Lee Strasberg Theater Institute. On the advice of friends, he landed an internship at a casting office and befriended a couple of the agents he regularly communicated with - one of whom later took him on as a client. The screen - not the stage - then became his focus; Evans soon began auditioning for feature films and series television.

Actor Chris Evans began his acting career in typical fashion, but it was his rapid rise to stardom which was unusual. Bitten by the acting bug in the first grade, Evans started out appearing in school plays and theater camp; from there it was a quick jump to local community theater, and later, an internship for a casting office. Once Evans made friends with a few agents on the job, it was a straight shot to television and blockbuster features. One of the more talented of the fair-haired, pretty-boy actors to emerge in the early years of the new millennium, Evans scored with roles in a succession of high-profile releases. His most famous part, however, came in 2005 when he was tapped to play the role of the Human Torch in director Tim Story's adaptation of the Marvel Comics classic "The Fantastic Four" and its subsequent sequel, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" (2007). By the time he starred in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" (2010) and as "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011), Evans was a star assured of accomplishing even greater things.

Chris Colfer biography

Birth Name : Christopher Paul Colfer

Date of Birth : 27 May 1990, Fresno, California, USA

Height : 5' 10½" (1.79 m)

Occupation : Actor, singer, producer and writer

Chris Colfer became a TV star with his first role, playing Kurt Hummel on the series Glee. A Californian, Colfer landed the role after impressing casting agents with his audition for another character. From a large ensemble cast, Colfer was a stand-out (along with co-star Jane Lynch). He was nominated for an Emmy after the first season, and he won a Golden Globe after the second season. On the show Colfer plays a fashion-savvy gay countertenor who overcomes bullying through musical theater.

Colfer's first TV role came in 2009 when he was cast as Kurt Hummel on Fox's Glee. Kurt is a fashionable gay countertenor who is routinely bullied at school, not only for being gay, but also for being part of the very unpopular Glee Club. Colfer auditioned for the part of Artie Abrams, who uses a wheelchair, which eventually went to Kevin McHale. The show's creator, Ryan Murphy, was so impressed with Colfer that he created the role of Kurt specifically for him, and in the process, scrapped a planned character called Rajish so they could add Hummel. In a 2010 interview with Allison Kugel, Colfer stated that "There have been a couple of times when I have gone to Ryan Murphy and told him a couple of things that have happened to me, and then he writes it into the show. Or he’ll ask me what song I would want to sing, in this situation or in that situation. I don’t think any of us directly try to give input on the character or on the storyline, but they definitely steal things from us."

Chord Overstreet Biography

Name : Chord Overstreet

Date of Birth : 17 February 1989, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Height : 6' (1.83 m)

Occupation : Actor, singer, musician

Chord Overstreet was born in Nashville, Tennessee, to parents Julie and Paul Overstreet. His mother, Julie, is a make-up artist and his father, Paul, is a country musician and songwriter. Chord, and his five siblings, were raised in a creative and music filled environment with their father highly involved in the music industry.

After Chord graduated from high school in 2007, he decided to pursue performing as a career from the encouragement and support of his parents, and from his talent of singing, acting, and playing instruments. Unfortunately, the first two to three years after high school were unsuccessful for Chord; only making small guest appearances on various television shows such as "iCarly" (2007) and "Private" (2009).

Overstreet is best known through his work on the Fox series Glee, which he joined in 2010. His recurring role, Sam Evans, was written as a protege (and later rival) to Cory Monteith's Finn Hudson. Originally slated as a love interest to Chris Colfer's Kurt Hummel, it was later tweaked when producers saw the chemistry between him and co-star Dianna Agron. He left the show at the end of the second season, when he decided to pursue a music career.

On July 1, 2011, TVLine's Michael Ausiello broke the news that Overstreet's contract option to become a series regular on Glee had not been picked up for season 3, but that he could possibly come back as an occasional guest star. In reaction to the announcement, fans launched a campaign to promote Overstreet's cover of "Billionaire" and various tags related to the actor, most notably "#dontcutthechord",[20] began trending on Twitter. The song made its way into the iTunes Top 5 "Glee" charts during the campaign.

Chloe Sevigny biography

Birth Name : Chloë Stevens Sevigny

Date of Birth : 18 November 1974, Darien, Connecticut, USA

Height : 5' 8" (1.73 m)

Occupation : Actress, fashion designer

Known in the mid to late nineties for her status as a fashion impresario and "it girl," with over a dozen art house films to her credit, Chloe Sevigny also stands out as one of the most prominent queens of contemporary independent cinema. Originally hailing from Darien, Connecticut, Sevigny attributes weekend trips into nearby New York City in her teens as an important early saving grace from her super rich and stuffy hometown. It was on one such trip at the age of eighteen, that Sevigny was spotted on the street by a fashion editor for Sassy magazine. Impressed by her flair for street fashion, the editors of the progressive teen mag asked Sevigny to intern in their offices which led to a few modeling jobs with both Sassy and x-girl, the urban clothing line created by Sonic Youth front woman Kim Gordon.

Despite lacking any outward pretense for wanting to become an actress, Chloë Sevigny generated considerable buzz in her adopted home of New York City even before the independent film world showcased her onscreen allure. Sevigny emerged from her tony Fairfield County background with both the grace of privilege and the awkwardness of an outsider, a duality that shaped her beguiling persona and added dimension to her screen presence in the actress' onscreen debut, "Kids" (1995). Though she continued to challenge herself with offbeat features like "Gummo" (1997) and "Julien Donkey-Boy" (1999), Sevigny strangely found herself as something of a fashion maven, thanks to her unique, offbeat style. But instead of allowing herself to become a mere pop culture star, she delivered an Oscar caliber performance in the gut-wrenching independent drama, "Boys Don't Cry" (1999). Despite her mainstream success, Sevigny continued along her indie path, appearing in films like "Party Monster" (2003), "Shattered Glass" (2003) and "The Brown Bunny" (2004); the latter of which earned the actress considerable notoriety for an explicit sexual act onscreen. Nonetheless, she landed a surprise regular series turn on the popular and acclaimed "Big Love" (HBO, 2006- ), which allowed the talented actress to display her gifts to a wider audience.

Cheryl Pepsii Riley Biography

Name : Cheryl Pepsii Riley

Born : New York on October 18, 1968

Occupation : Singer, Actress

Cheryl "Pepsii" Riley-Grace (born in Brooklyn, New York on October 18, 1968), is an American R&B/gospel singer and actress, best known for her 1988 ballad, "Thanks For My Child." Riley, who worked as a nurse for handicapped children for ten years before beginning her singing career, topped the R&B charts and hit the Top 40 on the pop chart at #32 with the 1988 heart-stirring ballad, "Thanks for My Child," a song written by Full Force. The genesis of "Thanks for My Child" began with Full Force member Bowlegged Lou's experience with the complications of his wife's first pregnancy. As pivotal as "Thanks for My Child" was for Riley's career, it was not the first song Lou offered to her. She refused his offer to record "I Wonder If I Take You Home" because she did not want to spread herself too thin, but after it became a million-selling hit for Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam in 1985, she thought she had missed her big break. She considered herself "the biggest loser ever".

After a hiatus from the entertainment industry, Riley re-emerged in the early 2000s as a star in a number of gospel plays for best-selling playwright Tyler Perry, including Madea's Class Reunion, Madea Goes to Jail, Why Did I Get Married?, Laugh to Keep from Crying, Madea's Big Happy Family and the most recent, A Madea Christmas. Riley also appeared in the film versions of Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Big Happy Family. On June 27, 2006, she released her first album in fourteen years , called Let Me Be Me.

The title track single to her debut LP Me Myself and I made it to number 18 on the R&B charts in early 1989. Another single, "Every Little Thing About You," peaked at number 55 on the R&B charts later that year. Her second LP, Chapters, was issued and yielded the singles "How Can You Hurt the One You Love" and a cover of Aretha Franklin's 1968 hit "Ain't No Way". Her third album All That! was released by Reprise, and featured the singles "Gimme" and "Guess I'm in Love."

Born: 30/06/1983 (Age: 28)

From: Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

Famous for: She's the spectacular X Factor judge

Relationship status: Separated

The singer who was born on June 30, 1983 in Newcastle, England joined Girls Aloud in 2002, a year before she was sentenced to 120 hours of community service and ordered to pay 500 pounds in compensation, as well as 3,000 pounds prosecution costs for assaulting a nightclub attendance named Sophie Amogbokpa.

In January 2003 Cheryl Tweedy caused a tabloid sensation when she was involved in an altercation with nightclub attendant Sophie Amogbokpa. The incident went to trial and she was convicted of assault occasioning bodily harm. Cheryl Tweedy was sentenced to 120 hours community service plus a compensation to her victim and court fees.

In 2004 Cheryl Tweedy began dating English football star Ashley Cole. They were engaged in June 2005 in Dubai and married in July 2006. Later tabloid stories indicated infidelity issues in the relationship, but they have reportedly since reconciled.

Cheryl has been working pretty much non-stop for the last couple of years... after winning ANOTHER series of The X Factor - this time with fellow Geordie, Joe McElderry - she's also found the time from somewhere to squeeze in some 'because we're worth it' TV adverts, score a massive Number 1 single with Fight For This Love, have her own TV special on ITV1 (which was terrible, but we still love the girl) and appear at the Royal Albert Hall to sing alongside Snow Patrol.

In May 2010, Cole filed for divorce at London's High Court citing "unreasonable behaviour" of estranged husband Ashley as the reason for their break-up. In July 2010, Cole was admitted to hospital with suspected acute malaria. This was shortly after a visit to Tanzania, where it is believed she may have contracted the disease.

Cher Lloyd Biography

Name : Cher Lloyd

Date of Birth : 28 July 1993, Malvern, Worcester, England, UK

Height : 5' 2" (1.57 m)

Occupations : Singer, songwriter, rapper

Cher Lloyd (born 28 July 1993) is a English singer and rapper from Malvern, Worcestershire who rose to fame from her part in the reality TV series The X Factor. Lloyd released her debut single, Swagger Jagger, on 31 July 2011 and it reached number one on the UK Singles Chart on 7 August 2011. Her debut album was released on the 7th of November 2011. After the final of The X Factor it was announced that Lloyd had been signed by SYCO MUSIC. Songwriter Autumn Rowe and producer RedOne worked on her debut album, scheduled for release in November 2011. The debut single, Swagger Jagger, received its first airplay on 20 June after it had been leaked onto the internet on 15 June however, this version was later confirmed as only the demo of the track on Lloyd's Twitter account.

After the X Factor, Cher was soon snapped up by Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco. But rather than propel her down an obvious pop route, they encouraged Cher to follow her musical instincts. It was a fascination with discovering new music that led Cher to her career path of choice.Tuning into stations like 1Xtra and Youtube phenomenon SB:TV, the Worcester born singer was instinctively interested in seeking out new sounds

After surfing the net for hours checking out blogs, digital radio and Youtube, she stumbled across people doing their own versions of songs, which sparked her own innate interest in performing. Inspired by UK underground acts like JME, Wiley and Bashy as well as established Americans artists like Nicki Minaj, Gwen Stefani, Fergie and Lil Wayne, Cher decided that she wanted to be singer who also rapped and began practicing relentlessly at home in her bedroom.

Cher is undoubtedly the poster child for alternative urban pop this summer. Balancing the fine line between commercial and credible, the genre-baiting, tempo-twisting first single, “Swagger Jagger”, with its nagging nursery rhyme motif, euphoric airhorns and playfully assertive wordplay, introduces Cher as someone who might have one eye on the charts but who is also unafraid to experiment.

She entered the X-Factor auditions in 2008 and 2009, singing ballads and was turned away. She settled for studying performing arts at Dyson Perrins CE Sports College. In 2010 she auditioned again and wowed the judges by singing Keri Hilson’s version of Turn My Swag On, and the clip of the audition on YouTube got over 13 million views. Controversy struck at the judges houses stage of the X-Factor.

Cher Biography

NAME: Cher

OCCUPATION: Film Actress, Singer

BIRTH DATE: May 20, 1946 (Age: 65)

PLACE OF BIRTH: El Centro, California

ALTERNATE NAME(S): Cherilyn Sarkisian

Singer. Actress. Born Cherilyn Sarkisian on May 20, 1946, in El Centro, California. Cher rose to stardom as part of a singing act with her husband Salvatore "Sonny" Bono. Known as Sonny and Cher, the duo scored a hit in 1965 with "I Got You Babe." They also had their own television series, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, from 1971 to 1974.

In the 1980s, Cher pursued an acting career. She appeared on Broadway in Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean in 1982. She reprised the role of Sissy in the film adaptation of the play. She continued to earn the respect of movie critics and fans alike by turning in a number of strong performances in such films as Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985), and Moonstruck (1987). Cher received her first Oscar nomination for her performance in Silkwood and won her first Oscar for Moonstuck in the Best Actress category.

An Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, and Academy Award-winning American pop culture institution, Cher's one-of-a-kind persona made her an inspiration for the working-class woman and a gay icon frequently imitated on the drag runway. From her beginnings in pop music and ultimate title of one of its top-selling female artists of all time, exotic-looking Cher was known for outrageous costumes and her aching, powerful contralto. But her eventual acting success in films like "Silkwood" (1983), "Mask" (1985), "Moonstruck" (1987) and "Mermaids" (1990) revealed a strong connection to the emotional lives of unstable, overwhelmed, reluctant adults. Her four decade-long career was more of a rollercoaster than most in that league, but the comeback queen always emerged on top with her peculiar ability to parlay the conflicted inner life of a shy loner into a headdress-wearing diva strutting and singing for crowds of thousands.

In a musical departure from her steady, moderate success with pop rock ballads, Cher's 1998 album Believe embraced dance tracks and digital vocal effects with astonishing results. Acting remained on the back burner and Cher kept her musical momentum going with 2002's Living Proof and "The Farewell Tour," a multi-media extravaganza covering the incomparable entertainer's career in show business. After three years on the road, the show was redubbed the "Never Can Say Goodbye Tour" and earned an Emmy for a televised Las Vegas concert. At age 60, retirement proved to be nowhere on the horizon for the timeless icon, and in 2008.

Chelsy Davy biography

Full Name: Chelsy Yvonne Davy

Birthplace: Bulawayo, Zimbabwe

Birthday: October 13, 1985

Chelsy Yvonne Davy (born 13 October 1985) has been the on/off girlfriend of Prince Harry of Wales since 2004. She has a older brother Shaun Davy. Her father, a millionaire safari operator in Zimbabwe, has reportedly had close ties to the regime of Robert Mugabe. Davy grew up at her family's homestead in the Lemco Safari Area, a stretch of land covering 1,300 square miles, from where Davy's father runs his safari companies. While growing up, Davy wanted to be a model, but never quite had "the looks to make it".

Chelsy Davy looks to be quite smitten with Prince Harry. You see a lot of Chelsy Davy photos in which she is all over the Prince. Or at least with Harry on dates and stuff. Chelsy is like Kate Middleton - Prince William's girlfriend - but less famous. That's okay, though.

Davy had what the press described as a "turbulent" relationship with Prince Harry, the younger son of the Prince of Wales and Diana, Princess of Wales, from late 2004 to January 2009, when the pair mutually agreed to end their relationship for the fourth time. Davy announced the end of the relationship over Facebook. In 2011, addressing rumours of a possible reconciliation, Prince Harry publicly professed himself as "100 per cent single," revealing that he had no time for a relationship of any kind.

Charlotte Ronson Biography

Name : Charlotte Ronson

Date of Birth : August 7, 1977

Birth Place : London, England

Profession : Fashion designer

Charlotte Ronson was born August 7, 1977, in London, England. The daughter of socialite Ann Dexter-Jones and real estate mogul and band manager Laurence Ronson, she grew up hobnobbing with Keith Moon, Keith Richards and Daryl Hall, all of whom were regular guests in her home. While her parent’s marriage was certainly glamorous from the outside, it was highly tumultuous beneath the surface, and they divorced while Charlotte Ronson and her siblings, Mark and Samantha, were still in grade school. Her mother later married Foreigner frontman Mick Jones and moved the entire family to New York City where Charlotte Ronson spent the better part of her youth.

Ronson launched her own label in 1999 with the help of hip-hop mogul Damon Dash, owner of Roc-A-Fella Records and the even more successful clothing line Rocawear. Dash had signed Samantha to his record label, and then decided to back Ronson's design aspirations. The label, C. Ronson, was followed by a small boutique of the same name in New York's NoLita neighborhood. In 2003, Dash bought the brand outright, but Ronson retained creative control. "I've always been nervous about business," she confessed to Julee Greenberg in a WWD article about her label's new parent company. "I am more of a creative mind than a business mind. Before Damon, my mom would help me here and there, but she was really just looking out for my best interests as her daughter. Damon is such a great friend and I trust him. He knows the business and how to make these deals.

In early 2005, Ronson and Dash formally ended their partnership, and she headed into new territory with her Japanese financiers. A new label was launched later that year, using the name "Charlotte Ronson" instead of just her first initial, and she was quite ready to move into a new direction. "The line used to be young contemporary," she explained to Lauren DeCarlo in WWD , but noted, "I've grown up, my style has grown up, and I want the line to grow into a full collection."
