“And she pays her bills doing print work, as a model, and, you know, she’s lucky to be able to do that—even though she fuckin’ hates the business, we both hate it. It makes the music industry and the film industry and every industry look like a walk in the park.” —Michael Pitt on fiancée Jamie Bochert in the NY Observer to which we question his Bryant Park presence.

Here’s a sneak peek of W’s fashion feature, “Stardust”. Check out the rest on W’s site tomorrow.

There’s been a lot of buzz about the return of the semi-oldies-but-goodies to the catwalk (Angela Lindvall, Maggie Rizer, Frankie Rayder), though no one seems to mention the one we find most impressive: Jamie Bochert.

If you didn’t remember her from a few years ago, her surprise appearance on the Spring 09 Marc runway - she opened the show - had a lot of people asking, “Who is that woman?” Turned out, she’d been working as Marc’s fittings model for quite some time, after she left modeling in 2006 to focus on her music career.

Since then, she’s stalked a steady stream of runways including Ann Demeulemeester, Rodarte and Lanvin, and shows no signs of stopping.

So our Best Comeback award goes to Jamie - even though we’ll always hate her a little for making Marc’s dresses so ridiculously long.
