SCOOP DU JOUR: A MODEL DRIVEN SEPTEMBER PARIS VOGUE

TI loves a good source and this Hiss Squadder is transmitting from the inner sanctum. TI won't be the one to blow Vogue Paris' genius September cover but we're happy to kick off the speculation. Here are the key hints...a model (as opposed to a celeb)...one season new...already gaining ad campaign momentum....I could say her hair color as swell as her nationality and agency representation but there would be no hiss appeal in that, right?

SCOOP DU JOUR: EMMA SUMMERTON GOES STATES SIDE

The Hiss Squad slipped this into TI's tea a few weeks back but now it is looking very confirmed...Emma Summerton the fastest rising new photographer on the scene coming to a major league American magazine very very soon... ID and British Vogue covers will accelerate your market value very quickly these days! Now watch out for Emma to start eating those campaigns...starting SS 09.

SCOOP DU JOUR: IT'S A SWITCH FRENZY

Hiss Hiss...By September shows in NY, a good half dozen of all those CK Jeans/ Hugo Boss/ Armani blue chip faces will have switched agencies. Its like we said at MDC..there seems to be a huge reset going on in the industry these days...And it looks like that July Vogue extravaganza is starting to have an ad impact already. A Very Important Hisser told me today certain clients have instructed our spy to be more "inclusive" in their future ad castings. Very 90's multi-cultural no?

Scoop du Jour: NEW CK 1 CAMPAIGN IN PRODUCTION and GIVENCHY GOES MULTI

CK1 was launched with a memorable campaign by Steven Meisel in the 90's that featured a catchall of some of the coolest kids of that age, from Stella and Kate to Richard Elms, Lois Samuels and Donovan Leitch. It'll be intruiging to see how Meisel and Brokaw follow up up the legacy of the fragrance...In other news...add the upcoming Givenchy men's show as the latest in fashion multi-cultural casting block.

SCOOP DU JOUR: A TRÉS FRANÇAIS FRENCH VOGUE

Oh how the world spins and the hiss thins.. It seems every last bit of goss here gets picked up and amplified faster than the speed of scandal. Like just seconds ago I was prepping a post in anticipation of picking up the image of a impending new cover. The image you see would have been the scoop. Seems TI jumped the gun . Apologies all around . But we will not abandon the cause. The next challenge for The Squad is to decipher that previously buzzed Vogue Paris cover event. The issue is said to be "very French" as in defiantly so. Two very French models were booked. One who for years was an iconic face for a venerable designer, the other a tremendously beautiful girl who rose to a more mass market kind of stardom. Will it be both? The one? The other? In any case it seems the directional kids have grown tired of those damn anonymous editorial faces. In a very sustained way. Which brings us to that All American editorial beauty who is about to enter paparazzi heaven. Smart girl. She knows the future is not celebrity vs model, but rather "the-model-as-celebrity". It can be done! It can be done!

SCOOP DU JOUR : LINDA EVANGELISTA SHOOTING A SERIOUSLY ICONIC BOOKING

We're sure given enough clues all our beloved model maniacs will suss out the clients in question...but the Hiss Squad reports that La Linda is on set this week with that most blue chip of blue chip photographers shooting what could be that most blue chip of editorials (as well as a seriously iconic campaign). You didn't hear it here first!
