Who's the next great fashion designer? We're on the lookout for the lesser-known or up-and-coming stars who are creating collections and careers worthy of some praise and closet space. Although they aren't household names yet, we're so impressed with their skills that we bet they will be soon. Check out "The Fresh Faces of Fashion" for the scoop on the designers we believe are the next big thing.

DIABOLI KILL by Angie Marei

The moment we laid eyes on Diaboli Kill's Damien ring (pictured above), we were hooked. The long black onyx fangs protruding from the rich gold prongs are as sexy as they are sinister. The same can be said about the entire Diaboli Kill collection. Although the company's creative director and designer Angie Marei calls her pieces "the darker side of luxury," she's actually inspired by light -- or lighting design to be exact. In addition, architecture and vintage Art Deco jewelry also serve as muses for the semi-fine and fine jewelry collection, which was launched in 2013. And in a mere two years, the brand's contemporary baubles have gained some fancy fans, like Beyoncé and Rihanna.

We got the chance to chat with the New York City-based designer about her dark and mysterious jewelry line, the story behind its macabre name and more. Check it out below.

The Huffington Post: What is the story behind the name Diaboli Kill?

Angie Marei: I was listening to jazz singer Julie London. She was my muse at the time and while searching for images of her online I came across a movie poster of a crime/thriller movie that she was in from 1960, “The Third Voice”. What got my attention was the huge tagline across the poster that read "DIABOLI KILL." Funny I thought it was Spanish or Italian so I pronounced it "Dee-ah-boh-leeh Kil." I loved the name so I trademarked it.

HuffPost: What's the one fashion item you'll never part with?

AM: My gold Damian ring.

HuffPost: Your son is the cutest! Has being a mommy inspired your designs or the way you design?

AM: After giving birth to my son (something I never thought I could physically do), it still feels surreal that I grew this little person in my belly and he will someday grow to be a man. It made me realize that women are creators of life and that should be respected and celebrated. Since becoming a mother, my designs have been inspired by ancient stories of strong mythological goddesses. I want women to feel sexy and empowered when they wear my jewelry.

HuffPost: If you had one day left to live in NYC, what would you do?

AM: Run last minute errands in the diamond district :)

HuffPost: What star would you love to see wearing your designs?

AM: In less than a year, I have been very fortunate to have had Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Jessie J – three of my favorite style icons -- wearing Diaboli Kill Jewelry! I feel so honored, especially being a new designer. I would also really love to see Jennifer Lawrence, Joan Smalls and Cara Delevingne wearing the collection.

HuffPost: What's the one piece from your collection that every woman should own? Why?

AM: My Alexandria earrings because they are statement pieces that look beautiful on any woman. They are so luxurious that you can wear them for a red carpet event but they also look amazing styled with something casual like a t-shirt, jeans and heels.

HPS: If you could go shopping with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be?

AM: [Vogue Australia Fashion Director] Christine Centenera or [Fashion Muse] Michéle Lamy depending on my mood.

HPS: Do you have a style or beauty icon? If so, who?

AM: Tilda Swinton. I love her because she possesses effortless beauty and is able to transform herself.

HPS: What's the best fashion and/or beauty advice you've ever received?

AM: Invest in your skin. For healthy skin I drink lots of water and moisturize. I don’t really wear a lot of makeup but I swear by great skin care products like Kiehl’s Mens Fuel Force products (yes, men's) and their Midnight Recovery Concentrate and microdermabrasion facials.

Here's a look at our favorite Diaboli Kill pieces. What do you think?

She may be in her 60s, but fashion icon and designer Twiggy says she won't be hanging up the leather pants any time soon.

"I refuse to say women of certain ages should not wear certain things. It’s all about how you wear it," the 65-year-old model said last week, The Daily Mail reports. Twiggy was on hand at a reception for the launch of a new report outlining how the British government can help keep post 50s in work.

"Women, generally, when they reach a certain age, have accepted that they’re not allowed to behave a certain way. But I don’t follow the rules. I never did, and I’m not going to start," Twiggy said.

Twiggy started her own career as a teen, after dropping out of school at age 15, and is a bit of an anomaly in the modeling world, having a career spanning several decades. She recently collaborated on -- and modeled for -- a clothing range for British retailer Marks & Spencer, and has been the face of skincare products for Olay.

Twiggy's sentiments have been echoed by other post-50 celebrities, who feel women are unfairly judged for being sexy and provocative after a certain age.

Last week Madonna also spoke out against her critics, saying it's her prerogative to stay in shape and "show my ass" at any age. "Who’s to say when I can show my ass? It’s sexism. It’s ageism. And it’s a kind of discrimination," Madonna told The New York Daily News.

Twiggy also says she'll be a trailblazer for older women everywhere. "If I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their fifties or their sixties, or whatever, as they were in their twenties, then so be it," she says.

You go, girl.

Despite losing co-hosts Kathy Griffin and Kelly Osbourne, the show will reportedly go on for "Fashion Police."

Sources told TMZ that executives at E! plan to recast the open spots to possibly create a new show with the same concept.

It's a different story from what "multiple sources" were reportedly telling the New York Daily News after Griffin suddenly quit on Thursday. Despite the fact that the network issued a statement saying "'Fashion Police' will return as scheduled, on Monday, March 30 at 9pm," with co-hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski and Executive Producer Melissa Rivers, it didn't stop sources from claiming that Griffin's sudden exit had E!'s execs considering canceling the show altogether.

As for reports of recasting, before Griffin's departure there were rumors that NeNe Leakes, Khloe Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and Amber Rose were being considered for Osbourne's job. There's currently no word on who could replace Griffin.

Reps for E! were not immediately available for comment.

Thoughts on the "5:2 Skin Diet"

March 16, 2015, 1:13 pm

≫ Next: Scott Disick Enters Rehab In Costa Rica

≪ Previous: Suki Waterhouse Heats Up GQ With Steamy Spread

Many of you may have heard of the 5:2 diet that requires you to eat normally for five consecutive days and then restrict your caloric intake, or fast, for two days. A new study circulating the makeup world works on the same theory - in order to improve skin, you do your regular makeup routine for five days and use no makeup for two days. The theory behind this is that a break from makeup will allow your skin to 'detox', ultimately promoting skin regeneration resulting in younger looking skin.

In my humble (maybe slightly biased) makeup artist opinion...

Makeup has come a long way and is not necessarily bad for you: Many years ago makeup formulas contained harmful chemicals. Today, high-quality makeup brands have formulas that use ingredients that are actually beneficial to your skin. Of course, some brands may still use harmful chemicals which is why it is important to do your research before using certain products.

Bottom line- If the makeup you are wearing makes you feel good, look good, and does not irritate your skin there really is no reason for you to do a 'detox'.

Keeping your face clean while you sleep is already a 'detox' for your skin: I cannot stress enough the importance of washing your makeup off at the end of each day. Just because makeup has the ability to last for 24 hours does not mean it should be worn for 24 hours. Sleeping with makeup on is a horrible habit that so many women have.

Sleeping is the time for your skin to regenerate and rebuild. You aren't doing yourself any favors by clogging up your pores and preventing your skin from breathing and repairing overnight and a 5:2 skin diet isn't going to be enough to save you. That being said, I do see the benefit of taking breaks from wearing makeup. Since skin exfoliates itself naturally overtime and pushes out and chemicals that have accumulated on the skin, not wearing makeup for some time will assist in this natural process and will allow your skin to rebalance its own moisture.

Bottom line- A break from makeup will expedite the natural exfoliation process.

A seven day skin-friendlier routine will provide more benefit than the 5:2: When comparing this concept to the 5:2 food diet, if you diet for two days a week and then go back to eating processed, high caloric, unhealthy foods for five days, you will ultimately see no improvement. The same goes for skin health - if you wear makeup containing chemicals that are bad for your skin and don't wash off your makeup at the end of the day you will not see results on the two days you are "makeup fasting".

I think it is beneficial to test your skin and go without makeup for a few days to see how your skin reacts. You should then modify your routine and eliminate or change the products that typically cause problems for your skin on a daily basis. It is more important that you learn what works for your skin and what doesn't. Make sure to thoroughly remove makeup in the evening and cleanse your skin before applying makeup.

Bottom line- Changing your makeup habits in a positive way and maintaining your skin on a daily basis will provide you with better long term results.

My takeaway: There are always benefits to going without makeup and there is absolutely no harm in trying out the 5:2 skin diet. This however is not a foolproof strategy for attaining gorgeous skin. I recommend doing your due diligence on the products you use on a daily basis and ensure they are agreeing with you skin.

Be smart about what goes on your face, and be diligent about daily and nightly face washing.

Scott Disick Enters Rehab In Costa Rica

Scott Disick has entered a rehab facility in Costa Rica.

The 31-year-old reality star checked into the Rythmia Life Advancement Center on Monday, reports TMZ.

"I realize my issues are bigger than me and I'm ready to truly remedy this struggle I continue to battle. While I have been unconvinced in the past of treatment and therapy methods, Rythmia's rehab approach puts my worries at ease," Disick said in a press release.

The reality star, who has three young children with girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, said he is looking forward to starting "therapy and iboga treatment."

According to the press release, iboga is a "small tree that grows in Gabon, Africa," and "has been used to treat a variety of addictions and has been an effective form of treatment."

Representatives for E! declined to comment, while reps for Disick and the Kardashian family have yet to respond to The Huffington Post's requests for additional comment.

The decision to enter rehab comes after Disick had a particularly wild weekend in Atlantic City, New Jersey. TMZ reported that Disick made quite the impression at The Pool After Dark on Saturday night. The reality star allegedly screamed obscenities while he downed alcohol. The following morning he was seen hobbling around the hotel lobby without any shoes, and required an escort to take him back to his room.

Disick has struggled with substance abuse issues for years. This past summer he briefly entered rehab after a sleeping pill overdose.

Just a few weeks ago, #thedress and its crazy color scheme took the Internet by storm and divided friends and family. Now, another dress has captured our attention.

Take a look at the "Dyspnea Mutha Fluffa Feather Dress:"

NastyGal is currently selling the dress for $583, which seems overpriced considering the lack of fabric. The description of the pink mesh dress says that it pairs best with "high-waisted panties, a matching bralette, and a light up dance floor." The dress is already sold out in extra-small, small and extra-large sizes.

The design duo behind the brand, Jameen Zalfen and Rachel Motteram, say they love "whipping up fluffy confections," which you can see in some of their other pieces on NastyGal, like this Tinker Mesh Crop Top that retails for $308:

According to the Dyspnea website, "The quintessential Dyspet is the lovechild of Rihanna and Noel Fielding, Beyonce and Russell Brand. In short, anyone who doesn't give a damn what you think."

The Huffington Post reached out to Dyspnea for comment and has not yet heard back.

-Excerpt from www.CityLately.com-

I don't know why fashion editors are less revered as artists than their sister purveyors of creative expression; the painter, the sculptor or even the musician. Perhaps it is because fashion is often mixed in with having to woo consumers and please advertisers, but most conventional art is too, if not more so, now driven by the need to create in order to sell to the highest bidder.

In the broad spectrum of fashion however, just as within art, there lay the storytellers; those who are not spurred by consumerism, but by the desire to produce signature works and visually stimulating creations that tell a story or comment broadly on issues and trends within society.

I had the honor of working with Vogue Australia on cover shoots as a Freelance Fashion Assistant this Fall. I assisted renowned Fashion Editor, Christine Centenera who in her creative process further convinced me that editors deserve more mainstream respect and attention.

She arrived to New York from Australia late in the evening with her assistant, Petta Chua, from what must have been an entire day of travel. We had been preparing and receiving garments well before Christine's arrival that was to feature actress and cover star, Margot Robbie.

Christine and her assistant walked into the room with a commanding presence and immediately began analyzing the racks we had carefully merchandised. With expert surgical precision, from the perhaps 400+ options that had arrived to us from various designers and PR agencies, the team lead by Christine, scrutinized and edited the wardrobe down to just the few looks that actually made it into the magazine.

It was in this process of editing I took the fashion editor for the true form that she is; an artist. Christine approached the rails of clothing and whether from a brainstorm, her vast prior experience or from being inherently blessed to forecast perfect pairings, she strung together looks with an ease to which a sculptor, cued by his imagination, molds a figure into existence.

From having worked as a Fashion Editor at Harper's Bazaar, as a style consultant to Kanye West and now as The Fashion Director at Vogue Australia, there is something to be said about her career experience. In her precision and as she moved between the clothes, however she embraced an inherent fluidity and an elevated wisdom like when an illustrator takes to his canvas to sketch a scene. And on set the next day, through the bustle of hair and makeup artists, the photographer and production assistants in between, she orchestrated shot after shot of Margot wearing devised looks, carefully composed like a violinist to a complex musical number.

Fashion glossies month after month display fine selections of creative works by fashion editors. Perhaps the next time you are flipping through, you will take a second to view the work and wonder the implications, like you would ponder a painting and credit it's maker.

"Raghead": A Hijabi with a Mission

March 16, 2015, 9:03 pm

≫ Next: Hue Series: Fresh-Faced Makeup

≪ Previous: What It's Like Being on Set for a Vogue Cover Shoot

Picture this: I'm walking down the street with a group of friends, kicking lightheartedly at the slush of half-melted snow on the sidewalk and daydreaming of sunny spring days. We're laughing, cheering, throwing snowballs at one another, and reveling in our day off of classes.

"Hey, raghead!"

Harsh words tend to bruise shoulders darker than any ball of slush can.

Taken literally, the phrase "raghead" would be pretty accurate -- I am a young Muslim who wears the hijab, or headscarf. It is, in fact, a piece of clothing worn around one's head.

The hijab is also a manifestation of a concept central to Islam: modesty. The Arabic word hijab derives from the three root letters ha, jeem, and ba, and when put together, they form the term "hajaba." Hajaba means to conceal or hide from view. Further, despite what the media tells us, modesty is not a value exclusive to women in Islamic culture. The Qur'an, Islam's holy book, urges both men and women to lower their gazes while addressing others and to dress modestly -- that is, by wearing loose clothing, clothing that isn't revealing. So, it's a way of living and dressing that can be carried out by people regardless of whether they cover their hair or not. The value of modesty can be embodied whether or not one wears a hijab.

I choose to wear the hijab because it empowers me. It gives me dignity. It forces people to listen to me, rather than look at me, by preventing my objectification as a sexual object. It helps to promote my intellect and quirky personality as a human being. As a feminist who enjoys dressing androgynously for herself, the hijab has become a major facet of who I am.

Yet in today's society, the crown I once chose to wear upon my head is no longer a ring of diamonds -- it has become a set of rags. I place my dignity upon my shoulders each morning, only to have the bright colors and beauty of my hijab soiled by ignorant slurs and claims that it oppresses me. Western feminist rhetoric rejects my claim to feminism, labeling my headscarf oppressive and radically degenerate. A monolith is made out of my religion, my choices, and my people when in reality, Islam is a vast, incredibly diverse religion that colors the lives of millions of people.

It has become common for those who are not aware of the independence I have discovered to pollute the name of my story with insults borrowed from the media and from mainstream rhetoric regarding Islam.

However, I am no longer going to allow this to happen.

Instead, I'm claiming these insults as my own.

"Raghead" -- my new nickname.

It's a little grungy, I agree -- perhaps a bit on the Cinderella side of the spectrum. But I am quite fond of my new title. I claim this word and all of its negative connotations, and turn it into something new.

To me, "raghead" will represent not a "dirty Arab," but an elegant, proud, empowered young woman with her faith upon her shoulders and her heart on her sleeve. "Raghead" will represent a young Muslim feminist, who chooses to wear the hijab to further her concept of autonomy. "Raghead" will be the mantra of a dreamer with the hopes of changing the face of public policy in the United States. "Raghead" will be the symbol of a woman who hears slurs about her religion and laughs in the face of her oppressors, because she knows better than anyone how beautiful and peaceful her beliefs are. "Raghead" will be the name of a girl who writes truth with her pen and brings those words to life in the form of speeches, explanatory conversations and daily moments of solidarity with close friends. "Raghead" will be my name, and with it, I will invite you to place my hijab in your hands and let it cleanse you of your misconceptions -- like water dripping from a rag.

"Raghead." It's got a nice ring to it, no?

Piers Morgan is not getting behind the #BoycottDolceGabbana movement.

Elton John, Ricky Martin and other celebrities called for a boycott of Dolce & Gabbana apparel after designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana made offensive comments about same-sex families adopting and having children through in vitro fertilization, calling them "children of chemistry, synthetic children. Uteruses for rent, semen chosen from a catalog."

In an op-ed for the Daily Mail, Morgan said that, although he agrees with the condemnation of the designers' comments, he is not in support of the boycott. He cited how people in Hollywood boycotted the Beverly Hills Hotel because it is owned by the sultan of Brunei, whose country implemented anti-gay Shariah law. That boycott and the boycott against Dolce & Gabbana, Morgan wrote, hurts innocent employees of those businesses more than the main culprits.

(Story continues below.)

Morgan also said he supports freedom of speech, regardless of how "unpalatable." He did, however, advocate for ongoing discussion.

The best way to alleviate that discomfort is not by strangling [Dolce's and Gabbana's] rights to freedom of thought or speech, or demonizing them. But by making them see that their fears are unfounded. If I were Elton John, I’d stop this silly call for a boycott, and invite Dolce and Gabbana round to one of his houses for to let them see with their own eyes what a great dad he is and how happy and well adjusted his kids are. Elton’s best weapon in this debate is practicing what he preaches, with demonstrable success - not trying to stop others from having an opinion.

Dolce and Gabbana have responded to the controversy surrounding their remarks by saying their views stem from their traditional upbringings and that they do not judge others for their choices.

Following the success of Kim Kardashian's incredibly profitable mobile game "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," younger sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner are launching one of their one.

On Tuesday, they announced the news via Instagram, but gave fans very little information about their upcoming project only telling them to "#staytuned." Meanwhile Glu Mobile, the company behind Kardashian's game, was less coy about what fans can expect.

"Featuring the voices, likenesses, and creative influences of Kendall and Kylie, the game will allow players to interact with the sisters as friends and mentors as they work to realize their creative and career aspirations," the company wrote in a press release.

Kendall and I are excited to announce that we are working on our own mobile game! #KendallKylieGame #staytuned

A photo posted by Kylizzle (@kyliejenner) on Mar 17, 2015 at 5:04am PDT

The game, which is expected to be released in late 2015, should come as no surprise given the Jenner sisters' popularity and the fact that Kardashian's game generated $43.3 million in sales from its launch at the end of June through the end of September, according to figures released by Glu Mobile.

All hail Amy Schumer.

The 33-year-old comedian sat down with Entertainment Weekly reporter Danielle Nussbaum at the SXSW festival on March 16 according to Cosmopolitan.com she discussed her new movie "Trainwreck," her thoughts on feminism and just how much her stage persona reflects her real life.

"I think people know that [my persona] is a major exaggeration," Schumer told Nussbaum. "Look, I'm no stranger to a cock... I completely love sex and I don't feel shy about feeling entitled to an orgasm if I'm having sex with somebody. But I don't really have that much of it and I've been in mostly monogamous relationships. But then in between if I meet someone and I'm attracted to them, I'm gonna have sex with them."

Nussbaum interviewing Schumer at SXSW

Nussbaum asked Schumer what she thinks of Jerry Seinfeld's recent comment that there aren't any barriers for women in comedy. According to Cosmopolitan, Schumer agreed with Seinfeld and explained how comedy in particular lends itself to a more even playing field: "I think if you're funny, you're funny, and people seek it out... I feel like there's always been an abundance of funny women. I grew up loving Gilda [Radner] and Carol [Burnett] and Lucille Ball and Whoopi Goldberg."

Schumer also explained her thoughts on feminism and why she identifies as a feminist.

"[It's the] social, political, economic equality of women," she said. "I think if you're against that, you're a crazy person. Or you don't know what it means. And that we don't actually have it is a bummer. It seems like we should be further along. That's why it was so exciting to see Patricia Arquette shout that out about equal pay because it's insane that it's still an issue. But there are definitely a million issues. And I think there's still that weird association with the word feminist and, I don't know. I think people are afraid for some reason."

Sounds about right to us.

Sports Illustrated has decided to have a curvy girl in the pages of its swimsuit issue. Apparently, we're all supposed to rejoice and be happy that someone actually endorsed someone who isn't a size 4. There's a spread in Sports Illustrated that features a real plus-size model -- Ashley Graham is a size 14/16 in a bikini. I want to point out that she is the size of the average American woman.

We couldn't be more proud of #CurvesInBikinis with @TheAshleyGraham in the 2015 @SI_Swimsuit! http://t.co/DeLU3A5L8y pic.twitter.com/JMawe9xbnL

Yay for those who are actually not what others think should be "beautiful"! Yay for those who have real curves and folds and still can look beautiful and feel beautiful and desirable! And hooray for Sports Illustrated for daring to put a plus-size girl in their issue -- except, wait, they didn't. They allowed an ad to be purchased and placed in their issue instead of it being an editorial decision, but still, hooray for them for taking money while letting the chubby girls of America feel loved and wanted. Baby steps, people, baby steps.

I love what Ashley says about the spread: "I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt." I need to point out that I think that Ashley Graham is absolutely beautiful, no matter what size she is. Look at her face -- she owns being sexy and happy! That's beautiful. But I don't need Sports Illustrated to tell me that I can finally love myself, no matter my size.

I hated myself for years for my size. Heck, I'm bigger than Ashley, and I used to hide behind big shirts if I had to wear a bathing suit until I decided one day that I deserved to love myself, finally. The thing is, I needed to feel that way inside, in my head and in my heart. I had someone ridicule me while I was in a bathing suit once, and it scarred me for a long time. It took years for me to decide that I was worthy of loving myself for who I am, instead of what other people think is OK for me to look.

Are we allowing Sports Illustrated (and other media) to say that it's only OK to worship the kinds of bodies they deem acceptable? I really wish that Sports Illustrated had posted her photos on their own, and called her simply "beautiful." How about more real people, size 16, even 18 and higher? And let's not forget the "skinny" girls, who are often made to feel like they are not beautiful. Not "model perfect" girls with no waist and big butts and boobs, but thin girls. No one wants to hear "Go eat a burger, already" as much as no one wants to hear "Don't eat that, you're fat enough." So many athletes have curves, strong muscular bodies that are amazing because they are showing a woman she can do anything. Let's face it: This issue isn't about being a great sportswoman, it's about buying into the big fat lie that only a few body types are worthy of being showcased and called beautiful.

Let's stop body shaming already, and embrace that we all have our own beauty. We don't need Sports Illustrated or anyone to give us permission to feel comfortable or sexy in any kind of bathing suit or clothing.

I used to hide myself because I didn't give myself permission to love myself for who I am. Now, I embrace every part of me! I don't need permission from anyone to love my body -- it's just another part of me. We need to say it's OK to like a body, our bodies, no matter what size or shape nature has give us.

Ready to embrace yourself? Love you for who you are right now? Snap a pic and tweet it to me at @loser_gurls and use the hashtag #LoveTheSkinYoureIn.

I Get My Best Parenting Advice From Tim Gunn

I wish Tim Gunn could live with me. Specifically, I wish that every time I felt like a complete mommy failure, the fabulous Project Runway star could just appear, a stoic presence in some cute little pinstripe suit, all six foot two of him, bearing his usual words of wisdom and a clean pocket square to dry my tears with. He would pick me back up, outfit my children in looks fit for Suri Cruise, and -- voila! -- we'd make it work together.

This idea recently came to me when a good friend, about to have her second child, asked me for my best advice for handling two kids together. I quickly recalled one day in particular when my youngest was still a newborn. One afternoon, my older daughter, who was still mastering potty training, ran into my bedroom, saying, "Mommy, mommy, mommy! I can't...." -- and then she peed all over herself in front of me. I had a newborn baby stuck to one boob and couldn't do a darn thing about it. At the time, a dear friend of mine texted me, "At least you know urine is sterile," and somehow, that made me laugh and I was able to make it work. When I finished feeding one child, I was up and getting paper towels and fresh clothes for my other kid. It's just what you gotta do.

We all have our own "make it work" moments and stories. My mother-in-law likes to tell me about the time she was ridiculously exhausted, like near comatose, and watching six kids at once (her four, her sister's two) one afternoon. She dozed on the sofa while they drew in crayon on her new wallpaper. Her thought, before she let her eyes close: "I can always paint over it." She made it work, people.

It's what we all do as parents. We make it work. Every day. Whether we go to work or stay home, whether we juggle one, two or more than three kids. Whether we live in houses, apartments, on communes or campsites. We all have to make this thing called parenting work.

So, here's where Tim Gunn comes in. He's always trying to get the Project Runway designers to see that even if they lack the proper supplies (who knew taffeta was so pricey?) or don't have enough time to finish sewing, there's always something else that can be done to make the situation work. And if it's not perfect, that's OK, too.

Is your little one pooping in her pants on the playground? Make it work, he'd say.

Toddler kicking you in your pregnant belly and yelling, "I don't want a new sister"? What's that you hear? "Make it work."

Eleven o'clock on a work/school night and your kids are still awake? Oh, you actually need to get some "actual" work done? You know what I'm gonna say: "Make it work."

Nobody wants a bath? Make it work, my friends.

Your kids' babysitter tells you she doesn't know who Punky Brewster is when you reference the '80s child star. You old hag! Stop crying and make it work!

I cannot count the multitude of times when I need to just make stuff work -- because anyone with kids knows from experience that you cannot plan worth shizz when it comes to kids. Someone gets all cranky, someone's wheels start to come off in the middle of a grocery store aisle, someone gets puked on, and that's it! Plans? Out the door!

That's when it's time to channel an inner Tim Gunn and say to no one in particular (or, heck, say it to that crazy lady who just told you your daughter needs to be wearing a hat in this weather!), "I can make it work."

Take me this morning. I woke up to my 5-year-old flicking my nipple and asking in a snarky voice, "Mom, what's this thing?" She had pulled down my pajama shirt and was just staring at me. Later, her younger sister let forth an epic Number Two during a close commute on a crosstown bus.

Guess what I did? I called upon my inner Timmy G and I made it work.

In all seriousness, though, wouldn't life be so great if we could just make it all work? If we could actually be OK with whatever came our way while parenting -- instead of fighting the incessant urge to control everything?

Why, as parents, are we so worried about this concept? Making it work means admitting defeat, in a way, doesn't it? But it doesn't have to.

Throwing on the TV instead of reading three books aloud because you actually have something else you need or want to do while you're with your kids? Why do we, as a culture, think of this as akin to showing the kids porn or feeding them cat food for dinner? We are that crazed about being perfect parents that we can't just let stuff work the way it's gonna work sometimes.

And, you know what, it's not gonna always work the way we want or hope or ever expect.

What Tim Gunn (and anyone else who tries to "make it work") is actually telling us to do is to forgive ourselves, to accept our greatest parenting triumphs and the things we perceive as the fails. Tim Gunn says "make it work" -- and we can be confident that we can and will. The only one who can make this parenting thing work is you.

So, next time the parenting racket has got you down, get back up and make it work, people! We've got a runway show to produce and some kids to raise!

UPDATE: It seems that Jaime King (or her one-year-old son James) removed the photo, judging from her Twitter exchange with PopSugar Moms:

@POPSUGARMoms well, I have a savvy baby. It was a brave post for a few minutes! He deleted it and several other things! Lol
— Jaime King (@Jaime_King) March 17, 2015

Here's a screengrab of the original Instagram photo:

PREVIOUSLY: Jaime King knows some people are going to judge her for this Instagram post -- and she doesn't care what anyone thinks.

The "Hart Of Dixie" star, who is expecting her second child with husband Kyle Newman, took to Instagram to share a nearly-naked photo of her changing figure, preaching a message of self-love in the caption:

"My body. My growing baby, open for comments. Plain as day. I, like every other woman, bracing for your judgments. This is who I am. And I love me in every flaw and curve or flat or thin area. And I love you as well in every form that your body takes."

The 35-year-old actress certainly has her fair share of supporters. Taylor Swift recently announced her excitement when King asked her to be the godmother of King's unborn child.
