Gisele: V 54: PH: Mario Testino via justjared.com

“Only Mario [Testino] could make me take these pictures…. People are going to say my butt is showing too much in these but this is V Magazine! If you’re going to do something like that, you do it for V.”

You gotta love the sentiment and you got to love that justjared.com scooped up this cover so quickly AND watermarked it!

Malgosia Bela/Next for Pucci SS 2008 PH: Juergen Teller

Elite's Daul Kim is looking like the new model ideal these days

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?

Ms Campbell in July's Vogue Italia. I cannot muster the words. LOL

Daniela de Jesus from Major has one of "those" faces

Recently I've been thinking about the line between commercial and edge. Who fixed that line? What is that line based on? Is obvious beauty always boring? And is an unconventional face automatically photogenic?

Natasa V photographed by Paul Rowland

I popped over to the Women/Supreme offices last week just as the kids who work there were distributing popsicles. After assuring myself that a little sugar and ice never killed nobody I indulged, even while clocking that Paul's new intern was rocking some pretty genius moccasins with very 70's shorts. Work hard. Give them outfits. Now these are some real fashion kids!

Sarah and Virgina @Next PH: Chadwick Tyler

Next new beauts Sarah and Virginia sat for Mr Chadwick Tyler and the resulting images were so delicate and wistful, I wish they were in my favorite glossy mag. At this rate the day will come for all involved methinks as Mr Tyler is truly distinguishing himself as a compelling young photographer to watch!

The D Squared SS 09 show was lush

The fashion flock loves to fly in formation! I have to say I'm loving the cornucopia of show images flowing from frillr this season. Our friends at the site just sent TI an advance of their D Squared Milan show coverage, featuring a catwalk where the majority of the models were "of color". Very interesting that interweaving of early 80's style notes into the classic D Squared ethos. That should make for quite a luscious campaign. Full review later!
