In an ideal world, we’d march down Spring Street, buy the Chanel football at left, slice it open, pull out whatever’s inside of a football, add a zipper and voila! We’d have our very own Chanel-to-Wang clutch. But we’re not billionaires, and in reality, it’d probably be ugly. So instead we’ve pictured three of this [...]

Just in case you thought Alexander McQueen was actually a genius (though for the record, we still do), a commenter’s discovered the truth behind this season’s amphibious shoes. OhJesse jumped onto yesterday’s Trivia to post the video at left in which a dude with lots of hair dances around with his guitar and wears a [...]

Three days before Christmas, the savvy folks over at godly luxury company Hermès quietly announced that they would launch a new brand in China called Shang Xia. The label will incorporate Chinese raw materials and local craftsmanship tailored to the specific desires of the Chinese luxury consumer, who, as we mentioned last week, loves Western [...]

< ? $caption[1] = "Marloes Horst: Height 5’9\”, blonde hair, blue eyes

Those lips, those eyes. We can’t really find the words to describe this fresh-faced Dutch beauty. Since 2007 Marloes has graced a few magazine covers and has appeared in a handful of editorials, but we’re betting that 2010 will be the year she really takes the modeling world by storm. We just want to see more of her, please!” ?>
< ? $slide[2] = "http://fashionista.com/2010/01/19/hannahelite.jpg" ?>
< ? $caption[2] = "Hannah Holman: Height 5’8\”, blonde hair, blue eyes
This American girl has some serious Italian fashion cred. Hannah made her debut in New York over the summer when she closed Prada’s Resort show and opened for Miu Miu’s the next day. And recall those pretty fall Miu Miu ads? They featured Hannah. Miuccia’s taken quite a liking to the young model. Who will fall for her next?” ?>
< ? $slide[3] = "http://fashionista.com/2010/01/19/gintaw.jpg" ?>
< ? $caption[3] = "Ginta Lapina: Height 5’10\”, blonde hair, blue eyes
Ginta’s striking features caught our attention, but it is her versatility in editorials that has held our affection. And it’s this same convincing versatility that reminds us a lot of another model: Daria W. Ginta can be sensual in Vogue Italia or playful in Dazed. We don’t mind which role she plays, we’ll take her any way we can get her.” ?>

< ? $caption[4] = "Frida Gustavsson: Height 5’11\”, blonde hair, blue-gray eyes
Frida only just signed with IMG this past year, but her star is rising rapidly–she was the fourth most requested model of the spring season and walked in a staggering 60 shows! We first noticed Frida after Dior’s S/S10 show. (The baby-faced Swede can really rock a red lip.) Will Frida break her own record and walk in even more shows this season? Stay tuned!” ?>
< ? $slide[5] = "http://fashionista.com/2010/01/19/nimuew.jpg" ?>
< ? $caption[5] = "Nimue Smit: Height 5’11\”, blonde hair, blue eyes
Nimue’s walked in her fair share of shows (Stateside and abroad) and has been featured in a number of campaigns and editorials. Her most recent Armani ads left us wanting more–those eyes are bewitching! We’ve fallen for Nimue’s pixie features and are looking forward to seeing a lot more of her.” ?>
< ? $slide[6] = "http://fashionista.com/2010/01/20/valerija_kelava.jpg" ?>
< ? $caption[6] = "Valerija Kelava: Height 5’9.5\”, brown hair, blue-green eyes
This super-new brunette is bound to make a splash all over fashion week. After opening Chris Kane’s SS10 show, she’s been featured in Proenza’s and Prada’s pre-fall presentations and most recently shot by Juergen Teller for Celine’s SS10 ads. We’re obsessed with her edgy bangs and intense stare, which reminds us of our other current obsessions Jaqueline and Iris. We think she’d be perfect at Givenchy, don’t you?” ?>

The new collection features everything a Jessica Simpson girl could [...]
