Last night loads of leggy models–A-listers like Shalom Harlow, Doutzen Kroes, Coco Rocha and Crystal Renn among them–gathered at the Standard in the Meatpacking to sip free vodka drinks over loud music. At first glance, a typical fashion party.

Only it wasn’t. These models were gathered to celebrate the launch of the Model Alliance, a non-profit organization founded by Sara Ziff dedicated to “helping models in the American fashion industry organize for safe, fair, and healthy standards in their workplace.”

New York Fashion Week is usually deprived of anything Miu Miu (the brand shows in Paris). But not this week. We had a hint Miu Miu was up to something in our fair city when we heard about a party they were throwing on Valentine’s Day cryptically called “The Woman Dress.” We hear that the party has something to do with a premiere for the next installment of “Miu Miu Women’s Tales Saga,” the brand’s film series that explores “the feminine love affair with Miu Miu.” But Miu Miu hearts NY in more ways than one this week.

They may be flawless supermodels now but even the Victoria’s Secret Angels were once inexperienced teenagers going through the typical awkward milestones–first kisses and all.

To get you in the Valentine’s Day spirit (which we tend to forget during Fashion Week madness), watch Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Lais Ribeiro–all scantily clad in VS undies–talk about the first time they ever smooched a guy. Turns out that being incredibly hot does not automatically make you a good kisser: Doutzen says her first kiss was “not so good,” while Lily cops to feeling embarrassed and running away afterwards. Erin’s first kiss, on the other hand, lead to a very, very sticky situation literally).

My husband cannot fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time! I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times!”

Brady’s teammates are none too happy with the Brazilian stunner.
