Michael Kors may have been missing from Project Runway last night, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been logging in some quality time in Los Angeles. Perhaps honing his first color cosmetics collection, Very Hollywood, a collaboration with Estée Lauder (their second one of the designer variety after a couple with Tom Ford)?

Think glowing Carmen Kass and the Kors runway (or Hilary Rhoda in the Craig McDean photographed ad campaign) and you’ll get the vibe of the makeup. There’s definitely nothing heavy, even the lipsticks are called “sheens”.

Frequent Kors front-rower and the cosmetics brand’s SVP and Creative Director Aerin Lauder told WWD, “The Estée Lauder customer is very much the Michael Kors customer: someone who wants a wonderful product, someone who understands fashion, someone who understands luxury, someone who wants quality.” We totally agree that this seems like a perfect match.

Sneak A Peek: Here’s a sneak preview of the Natasha Poly-centric Muse, hitting New York’s news stands on September 10th. It features Craig McDean, Riccardo Tisci, Jeff Koons and Terry Richardson. If ever there was a time to try to replicate those lips, it’s tonight’s Paper party. {Models}

Jeepers Creepers: Yes, all fashion girls swoon for Yigal Azrouel. He’s gorgeous, makes brilliant clothes and is the only straight man for miles. But this woman, who told the Post she likes to try on clothes in his store just to be naked in the same room as him, is far too enthusiastic about the whole thing. {NYPost}

PughHoo!: Gareth’s coming to New York. The Brit will show his full collection in Paris - no word yet on whether he’s reverting back to runways or sticking to last season’s video format - but before that he’ll swing by Milk Studios and offer a peek of his SS10 collection this Saturday night. {Style}

Chanel-o: If Craig McDean had shot this with Baptiste Giabiconi instead of Constance Jablonski (for Interview), Karl Lagerfeld might have exploded from excitement. That would’ve been fun. {Models}

It’s It: This went up at the start of the week, but in case you missed it & you’re still wondering just who Becka Diamond is, this guide to the It-Girls of fall 09 will prove extremely helpful. {Style}

Ca-Caw: Thank you Malvin from Project Runway for inspiring the kids at EW to edit this little piece of Arrested Development awesomeness together. We were just remarking on Lindsey and Gob’s chicken dances earlier in the week. And by remarking we mean re-enacting. Happy Friday! {PopWatch}

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy: Barneys is about half way through their warehouse sale & shoes just got knocked down 40%. Meanwhile, we saw their awkward TV commercial last night and still wonder why they don’t just use Simon Doonan. {Racked}

Sketched Up: We read about Igor & Andre yesterday morning, the blog from California- based fashion illustrator and model lover Danny Roberts, but wasted an hour of our life on it last night. His work is spectacular. {Igor&Andre}

Last night we got a sneak peek at the fall collection of nail polishes from MAC and let us just say that we’re certain we’ve never been this excited about painting our nails.

The collection is a collaboration with editorial nail guru, Jin Soon Choi. This is a woman who refers to Steven Meisel as “my man” and has also shot with Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, Craig McDean, and Michael Thompson.

Now, we’ve been sworn to secrecy for the moment (that’s not one of the colors in the photo), but promise you will not be disappointed when we can finally reveal the delicious shades. They’re edgy, editorial and incredibly chic.

Sometime after Halloween, Craig McDean shot Raquel Zimmermann in a studio space in Yonkers, NY for Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 09 campaign, replacing Anja Rubik and Magdalena Frackowiak.

The campaign marks the third for Raquel for next season, who’s already shot a De Beers campaign, and Marc. So far, the only other model with more major campaigns for Spring 09 is Toni Garrn, who you’ll see in Emporio Armani, Fendi, Hugo Boss Black and Shiseido.

Toni may have taken Raquel’s spot at Fendi for next season, but if either Lanvin or Roberto Cavalli decide to keep Raquel on the payroll for Spring, then she unofficially wins for most campaigns of any model for next season. But, if Jill Stuart keeps Toni on for another season, then she’s back in the game against Raquel.

If only they had a Rock ‘em Sock ‘em for this.
