Guess who we just ran into at Whole Foods on the Bowery? Anna Wintour’s favorite pet Brazilian Caroline Trentini! She wore a black parka, grey sweatpants, shopped in the mixed nuts section and still looked like a million bucks. Whatever it is, walnuts, cashews (or more likely salicylic peels) she still looks really glowy and cute. (Not cute enough to be in Milan or Paris right now, apparently, but still better than most regular humans.)
When in doubt wink and pout or put models in lingerie on the cover! Seriously, I haven’t seen so much boudoir lace and garters since-I don’t even know-the last time I was at Agent Provocateur… Lily and Gemma look hot, no doubt, which brings up a more pressing issue: did they photoshop some meat onto Lily Donaldson’s rib cage or she finally ate something?
Don’t let the angelic face and the puppy purse fool you, Lera Sheremata, the green eyed Ukrainian who opened (or was it closed?) the Marc Jacobs show acted like a certified maniac at fashion week. First she got arrested for smoking in the airplane bathroom. The flight attendants caught her TWICE and then had to call the police. She was told off and released immediately. But that’s just the beginning. Lera’s nuttiest incident on record happened at the Prada show. We hear that Lera was set to open the show (a la Sasha P and Gemma W in the past–a very big deal) but when dressed in the first look Lera told the assistants that she didn’t like it (GASP!!!!) and so they took her off. Don’t blow it girlfriend!
If you were Pete Doherty, who would you rather marry: Kate Moss or Irina Lazareanu? Apparently the man’s still on the fence about it. We’d totally pick Irina–no contest!
Our model radar has detected Olga–the Karen Elsonish-looking creature with red hair, hollowed out physique and impossibly pasty white skin… and that’s fashion for you kids.
Steve Hiett has been rocking our visual senses ever since we first picked up a copy of Italian Vogue. At the same time Hiett is still under the radar compared to Meisels of the world–just the way we like it.
She does it in Alaia, ladies and gentlemen, head-to-toe Alaia. In related news, Ms. Campbell has signed up to star in new horror movie ‘Perfect Woman’. The film – which received $10 million worth of backing when it was showcased at the Cannes Film Festival – will see the supermodel die within the first few minutes. And she knows how to exit too.
If you thought you saw a booty on Gemma Ward at today’s Chanel show you were not hallucinating — Hilary Alexander saw it too. Karl likes them big and juicy for S/S 2008
That’s what WWD announced today. In case you’re wondering Kate Moss is also engaged–to someone from the Kills. It’s all so crazed and desperate we’ll pretend it isn’t happening. New couple: Irina + Pete
The Daily Mail (do you hate them like we hate them?) continues to unravel the new details about the life of everyone’s favorite English model scenester Agyness Dean. According to the tabloid Agyness isn’t really 21 but 24 which technically puts her in an “oldie” territory for the fashion biz. (By the industry standards all of you over 21 should just go and drown yourself right now). Old or not, late-bloomers are more fun anyway, don’t you think? Sneaky-sneaky: Agyness Dean
Darlings, we’ve just returned from gay old Paree and we’re smelling of Chanel and Canadian beaver (long story…) It’s definitely an out-of-a-spin-and-into-a-twirl situation. In the meantime New York fashion week is on full steam: Masha Tyelna is scaring the living with her hungry eyes and Rachel Zoe’s sporting a new & improved face. But what’s really rocking the fashion world is the new DVD from Fly–it’s been such a success insidefly.com keeps crashing from web traffic. Click play.
Forget La Esquina and Da Silvano, the chicest (and arguably the hardest to crash) fashion haunt is now Consulat général de France. Spotted at the visa section today were Serbian beauty Ana Mihajlovich and her exceptionally lithe model friend of Ukrainian nationality. Eastern European greyhounds were applying for Shengen visas in connection with the upcoming fashion weeks. Dressed in de rigeur skinny jeans & cashmere cardigans the beautiful mannequins carried a laquered boxy Chanel and a YSL downtown muse respectively. Later, however, the girls were missing from the passport pick-up line. Mon Dieu! Did they not get the visa?! French consul, he is très très strict! Stuck at the border: Ana Mihajlovich
Here’s everyone’s favorite “behind the scenes” video of the original Lamsweerde & Matadin’s Chloe photoshoot from shopvogue.tv
Now tell me it doesn’t look exactly like the H&M billboards they’ve hung on every block here in NYC…All those sets, the styling, the bouncing, the frolicking – all that work – and H&M has the nerve badly rip it off! They even cast the same Anja and Freja! (cheap set and bad hair, of course) The entire thing is so Canal Street we don’t even want to talk about it.. What we’d really like to see is the “behind the scenes” video from Steven Take-Off-Your-Speedos Klein for Dolce & Gabbana photoshoot. Now that would be classic, dear shopvogue.tv
Kate Moss by Corinne Day photographs are at the British National Portrait Gallery – hanging right up there with the Beatles, Elizabeth II and Henry VIII. “This montage of the nine faces of Moss, who has just turned 33, was commissioned by the gallery to be the centrepiece of its new crowd-pulling exhibition, Face of Fashion, opening on February 15.” This is what we call making a grand exit. Watch and learn, Lily, Jessica and Freja. Heroin chicette. Moss. Photos by Corinne Day
