Add A Slash: As in model/actress. Next up is Agyness who’s shooting a short film with the guy who plays the ADA on Law & Order. Also we now have “Celebrity Skin” running through our heads, which is not a bad thing at all. {Page Six}
Is Adidas the New Target: They’ve had Jeremy Scott and Stella McCartney, but now they’re onto British brand PPQ. Here’s your first look at their stripe-y, Catwoman-y collection. {Nylon}
Rita Hayworth Gave Good Face: Lindsay Lohan does not. God love (or hate) the Daily Mail for pointing out what we also witnessed last night, some seriously weird expressions that did nothing but age the girl in a major way. {Daily Mail}
The Anna Sui show is always a party.
But this season, for some reason, lacked a certain spunk (and we don’t just mean the confusing empty boxes inside the gift bags). It had all the good models (though it missed Agyness), the brightly colored embroidery, the youthful influence, and a party soundtrack, but it was, as the person next to me said, “all over the place.”
Her backdrop featured circus tents and if my Twitter icon hadn’t suddenly disappeared off the face of my iPhone, I’d have tweeted three’s a trend. The circus was nowhere to be found in Sui’s clothes though, instead there were a handful of hippie references and school girl looks we’d guess we’re inspired by her Gossip Girl inspired Target collection - if that isn’t too confusing.
And yes, we know ideas get recycled from season to season and that Marc’s own collection screamed “Rei,” but I swear those metallic dresses were in Bleecker’s Marc by Marc window last spring.
Anti-Fug: I’m starting to worry that my favorite outfits always get Fugged. This is the Olsens at Opening Ceremony’s Tokyo opening this weekend; they look perfect. {GoFugYourself}
A Friendly History: Juergen Teller talks about the origins of his relationship with Marc Jacobs, his campaign process and the controversies they’ve faced together. {TheMoment}
Peachy Keen: Peaches Geldof continues her random TV reign. She’ll cover New York Fashion Week for GMTV, “Fashion is the thing that establishes creative talent and a person’s aesthetic individuality, but most of all it’s a fun way to express yourself,” she says. {PressAssociation}
In the Dollar Dumps: The Post reports Derek Lam’s having a few financial issues. He’s allegedly losing $1 million per month and his CEO’s been MIA for all of August. The CEO, of course, denies the whole thing. {PageSix}
Henry Holland for Topshop?
We wish. Instead he’s heading to their stateside flagship to celebrate the launch of his brilliant new tights collection, or so we hear.
The legwear, launched in collaboration with Pretty Polly, launched at Dover Street Market last week, though we’ve already seen them on Agyness and the Geldofs. The tights go for about $15 and mimic the pastel stripes of his AW09 collection.
We’d love Henry to be here for Fashion Week.
In fact, we think he’d fit into Intermix’s Fashion’s Night Out party, hosted by Sienna and Savannah Miller, quite well.
ABC’s: Agyness Deyn’s the face of Anna Sui’s AW09 cosmetics campaign. You can buy the makeup and Sui’s new line of hair products at her Soho store, though we’d avoid whatever made Agy’s hair look like that. {BeautyCounter}
More to Love: More facts on Fashion’s Night Out, including this scary tidbit, “one-out-of-10 retail-industry employees [are] out of work.” We’ll bring you the full report on Monday so you can start making a game plan for September 10th. {WSJ}
Now We’re Talking: A few behind the scenes shots of Charlize Theron for J’Adore Dior. It’s the fragrance’s tenth anniversary and these images should put Vogue to shame. {InStyle}
Cintra-Gate: We’re pretty sure the Gray Lady writer isn’t going to put out the fire she started yesterday with her JCPenney piece with these kinds of apologies. Not that we think she really wants to. {The Cut}
We’re still rolling our eyes over the Leighton aging antics in September’s Harper’s Bazaar, but this morning, Models.com posted an editorial that gives us back some faith in the mag: Agyness channeling the different looks of Michael Jackson.
It is especially telling to Michael’s influence that he could be portrayed by a blonde, white, British woman. Though you could definitely insert a joke here. Of course, his sketchy cosmetic surgery changed who he was, making his face a blank canvas of sorts. His surgery dramas were a reflection his way too complicated to understand issues and we’re guessing sadness. But this editorial is focusing on his long-lasting and widespread musical and fashion legacy, the things that brought his fans happiness.
Terry Richardson shot it (he also shot Leighton for the cover) and we love it. They capture the fun in fashion that Michael definitely embraced when he dressed. Life can be rough, but clothing can always lift our spirits—especially if it’s sequined. His fashion choices were as significant as his music, and this homage is making us feel like moonwalking again.

Remember this hat?
Sienna Miller wore it everywhere last winter, so did Agyness Deyn, and despite the hundreds of hats I tried on from Barneys to Urban to H&M, nothing quite measured up. Without knowing exactly who knitted it or where it came from, I was hopeless.
So imagine my delight when the picture at left landed in my inbox with designer Madeleine Thompson’s lookbook (filled with dreamy images of Poppy Delevigne, by the way) and the news that her line of chunky cashmere knits will finally be available in this country. Barneys is expecting their first shipment in the next couple of weeks and here’s hoping they save one for me. That’s the one good thing about all this rain - it makes it infinitely easier to imagine a fall wardrobe.
“She comes off as genuinely sweet, sunny and slightly dim, her punkette look the thinnest candy coating over an interior filled primarily with airy, whipped pink goo and nuvo-hippie, gestalt-y wow-ness.” —Cintra Wilson of the NY Times on Agyness Deyn. The writer goes on to debate whether said dimness is strategic or not.
It’s the Monday after a holiday weekend. I’m bummed that I’m not in Paris watching couture shows and spending evenings at the Meurice. And I miss Britt.
You know what makes everything just a bit better…puppies! Seriously, it’s true. Sure they may not be the answer for all that is failing in our economy, as seen in this funny sketch. But they do make us smile.
Modelinia’s slideshow of the day features the girls (Miranda, Gisele, Maggie) we love to watch walk and the pooches they walk every day.
And you know what? The afternoon just got a little better. Give it a try, we think you’ll like the results.
The latest issue of WWWWD’s out today and it, together with lots and lots of coffee, is helping to cure our hangover.
The Intellectual Issue covers Natasha Poly’s catastrophic runway fall, one which left her with telepathic powers, and researches NASA’s interest in Miuccia Prada’s “obnoxious genius.”
We actually laughed out loud at their sartorial timeline: Jesus invented Birkenstocks in 1 A.D. and in 2004, Gabriel Aubry, “first known human with IQ of 23 able to digest food without use of machines, claims Earth is flat on the set of a Versace shoot.”
But Agyness Deyn’s poem, a sort of ode to the Beatrice Inn in which she wonders, “Where shall drink with Ashley and MK / Weep I shall all night and all day,” might be the most random bit.
The Cat’s Pajamas: Catherine Holstein talks past, present and future collections and about how hard it is for a small designer to make quality clothes at a reasonable price point. {Coutorture}
Hair Raising Good Time: We’re just completely obsessed with this picture. And Agyness clearly agrees with our stance on pants. {Jezebel}
Ohh Johnny: This must related to fashion somehow - outtakes from Johnny Depp’s Vanity Fair cover shoot styled by Samantha McMillen and shot by François-Marie Banier. {VF}
Star Trek: A sit down with jewelry designer and Central Saint Martins alum Tomasz Donocik and a peek at his super awesome jewelry which might be made for men - but we still want it. {Starworks}
We produce models as fast as we can, given the fact that you guys steal them away within months.`
We’ve recently lost Agyness, Daisy, Alexa and Karen, so thank goodness our model machine keeps churning out new faces.
Meet Amber Le Bon, daughter of Yasmin and Duran Duran’s Simon LeBon. The combination of her mum’s legs and her dad’s rock star appeal is thoroughly British. And she’s still too young to leave us. It’s no wonder she’s just signed contracts with high street store River Island and Myla, the lingerie brand whose recent ads starred your Lydia Hearst.
Thanks in no small part to her mum’s enviable Alaia collection, she stood out at last night’s Hogan party, even while surrounded by the likes of Beth Ditto, Giles Deacon, Savannah Miller, Lily Cole and Katie Grand.

Nasir Mazhar’s one of those little treasures we wish we could keep for ourselves.
The milliner’s extravagant headgear has been on our radar since well before he designed for Madonna’s Dazed and Confused tour or built Agy’s infamous reindeer hat. The hairdresser turned hatter, one of the coolest things come out of London since a young Alexander McQueen, should stay on this side of the pond.
But, sigh, the dreaded Hollywood claws sunk in yesterday thanks to Lady Gaga’s appearance on Ellen. She wore one of Mazhar’s orbital hats, which (though we loved it) might’ve resembled our grade school retainer.
Now, it’s only a matter of time until he sweeps the red carpet and we can say, “Remember when?”

Way back in November, Leighton Meester was photographed doing a Reebok shoot on the street.
Just today, Vogue UK’s reporting about the campaign, and also saying that the CW star is set to do “another” campaign come mid-May.
But since we’ve never seen any of the Leighton/Reebok images in any magazines, and since Vogue UK’s still reporting that Agyness has had a Reebok campaign, too (she hasn’t) we’re just as confused as Blair Waldorf would be if she could see herself wearing trainers in public.
Stay tuned for more answers.
In the meantime, would it add a dash of much-needed realism to GG if they brought in some more gym class scenes, closely followed by less than perfect hair?
UPDATE: Reebok’s PR confirms that “Leighton is the face of Reebok at Lady Foot Locker through 2009,” and we’re now waiting on dates for when those ads hit print.
Henry Holland’s show was maybe the most literal thing we’ve ever seen walk down a a runway.
It’s like he took the little paint cards from Home Depot, in the most bubble-gummy colors, blew them up and put them on super fun little dresses with major zippers, transfered them onto shaggy fur coats, men’s shirts and shorts and even bags. And to top it all off, the girls got to wear jewels by Katie Hillier (of POP, of Marc by Marc accessories, of Mulberry etc) exclusively for House of Holland.
Agyness’ and Henry’s families took up an entire row which meant lots of cheering - especially when the two danced down the runway at the end. In fact, our aisle seat lent a perfect view of Henry pulling each girl out from behind the curtain and doing a little dance before sending them out onto the runway.
Dancing, bright colors and shaggy coats might have been the perfect way to end London Fashion Week.
Until Paris, mes amours!
What do Iggy Pop, Iris Strubegger and Agyness all have in common?
LOVE.
They’ve all been chosen for previews / ads of the new magazine everyone can’t wait for, released today via the LOVE blog that finally leaked some good images.
We’re loving the Britney-ish wig on Iris, but here’s another thought:
Do you think Katie will have a nameplate style necklace of the LOVE moniker made and make people wear it in photographs? There’s something about that logo that automatically takes our mind to jewelry…
If, for some reason, you’ve never wanted to be a model, Coco Rocha and Behati Prinsloo are going to change your mind.
Because once you watch this, you’ll want to do anything to hang out with them for a day, an hour even.
They’ve culled together their favorite pictures from last season and made a slideshow punctuated with hysterical video moments showcasing Behati’s penchant for lip synching. And these aren’t style.com pictures - they’re fingers up the nose, food on your face, i’m-just-a-19-year-old-girl-having-fun pictures framed by ridiculously gorgeous runway clothes.
Here are the times of the live action sequences in case you want to skip through the photos: the start, 2:21, 4:25, 6:17 (our personal favorite), 9:38 and 10:19.
Happy Friday!
Agyness Deyn was 2007’s Lower East Side Staple.
You couldn’t really spend a day below Houston and east of Broadway without spotting her platinum pixie head until she started dating the Stroke and spending more time in LA.
Then she said she was trying to break into movies and we figured she’d eventually land a “punky ex-girlfriend” or “strung out party chick” role but instead she’s opted for the artsy path which, given her fashion predilections, isn’t so surprising.
Up first?
Erzulie, the goddess of love, in Gordon Hull’s T Magazine commissioned film, Dance of the Golden Axe. She blows fairy dust onto soldiers who chop down a forest of Christmas trees.
Next stop, romantic comedy?
