More Puppies! Modelinia continues to fill the void left in my life by George the Jack Russell being out of town with more model dogs. This time on video and including a trip to visit Santa with Chanel Iman’s very excited pooch. {Modelinia}

Givenchy gave WWD a sneak peek of their new campaign and change abounds.

Inez and Vinoodh have shot for Ricardo Tisci for the past nine seasons, but Mert and Marcus did the honors for the AW09 collection. Their spreads - for glasses, bags and clothes - feature Mariacarla (duh), Iris Strubegger (who’s officially everywhere), Leonor Scherrer, Ranya Mordanova and Adriana Lima, who already surprised everyone just by walking in the show in March.

Tisci hailed the changes as steps toward a more realistic brand image, “It’s important to give reality to women.”

But aside from the fact that the above image represents reality to very few women, who wants reality in their luxury fashion ads? We appreciate acknowledgment of the economic times, but when the Givenchys and McQueens actually embrace reality, we’ll be devastated.

Sorry if this post is less coherent than usual.

My head’s still reeling from Lenny Kravitz saying, “Hey baby,” when he squeezed in front of me at Rick Owens and we took each other’s picture.

I thought the show was starting late because Carine was on the phone, but it was Lenny and rockstar daughter Zoe, sporting some serious extensions, holding up the smoke explosion that introduced Mariacarla Boscono.

The clothes? Impossibly cool, of course. Owens designs for the woman who doesn’t give a shit what anyone thinks because she knows she’s wrapped in otherworldly leather - and she’s used to heads turning wherever she goes. It was fascinating, and a bit intimidating, to be in a room full of his heavily booted fans cheering on his barely there Spring designs and nun-like headgear.

And yes, that’s Irina in her first show of the season. She showed up backstage half an hour before the 5 o’clock start time, got kicked out for smoking inside and had to be dragged back in for hair and make-up.

We love the trend of modeling agencies starting their own blogs (thanks, Elite, for starting it!) because it gives us gossip and access to our favorite girls at like half the speed of stalking.

This week, Women Management launched their own blog, and here’s what we learned:

*That Ryan McGinley shot Shannan Click (left) for his own personal work.

*That Mariacarla Boscono is friends with Sean Lennon (did they meet through Irina?).

*That Meredith Melling Burke totally digs Toni Garnn.

*That Julia Stegner shot a Maybelline campaign in the rain last Friday and we totally missed it!

Check it out for yourselves.
