We hear Balenciaga’s readying to shoot their new campaign.

Not a celebrity in sight this time around though. Charlotte Gainsbourg’s at home in Paris and Jennifer Connelly’s snug in New York because Nicolas Ghesquière chooses models this season.

The line up so far includes Kasia Struss and “three unknowns.” Whether they’re grouped together or on their own, we’re not sure, but we will say we half expected Miranda Kerr to pop up somewhere.

Guess she’s taking the high fashion thing one step at a time.

Spot the Angel: Miranda Kerr walked Balenciaga yesterday, looking tres Parisian runway appropriate and less like Orlando’s paparazzi-fodder lady friend. Not that that look isn’t gorgeous too. {StyleFile}

A Scent We’ll Never Buy: Kim Kardashian used to think perfume was made by putting flowers in a blender. She’s also famous for inexplicable reasons, including a sex tape with Brandy’s little brother. But she’s still got a fragrance deal. And I just died a little inside. Also, if those rumors about Sarah Palin getting a beauty contract are even vaguely accurate, you guys may have to institutionalize me. {WWD}

It’s Rick Owens Day Around Here: And we wouldn’t mind if every day was. I’m still dying over this leather jacket that I can’t afford. So maybe I’ll soothe myself with something from his collaboration with Eastpak. {Vogue UK}

Think you have what it takes to be the next Alessandra, Miranda, or Doutzen? Well, Victoria’s Secret’s giving you a shot at proving it by holding a nationwide open casting for their next fashion show (airing in December.)

Starting October 3, castings will be taking place in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago. Panels of experts will narrow the choices down to 10 finalists and then the whole thing gets democrati and America gets to vote. But all ten finalists will be flown to New York for “Angel Boot Camp” which sounds rather ominous to me, but is apparently a series of challenges that sounds like a compressed season of ANTM. And we’ll all be able to follow along via weekly webisodes.

If you win, hopefully you won’t be the one stuck with the heavy metallic cape. For all the official rules, webisodes and whanot, go to VSAllAccess.com

So we haven’t been able to stop thinking about Miranda Kerr’s fabulous airport outfit from last week.

Seriously.

She looks effortless and super comfortable, but still chic. Boyfriend jacket and maxi dress—we like. And we kinda wish that we could wear our sunglasses inside without looking like assholes.

Of course, it’s a lot easier to look good when you aren’t schlepping your entire life in your carry-on, but still, Ms. Kerr is killing it.

I’m hopping a plane myself in a few days and am trying to come up with my own Kerr-esque casual chic look. I’m trying to take cues from Miranda as well as Diane Kruger, whose airport looks have also been nearly perfect as of late.

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.

I’m 99% sure that’s Miranda Kerr on the left.

But I’m only half way through my coffee and three hours deep into a move from Brooklyn into Manhattan and I could be wrong. So we’ll start with a yes.

Is she even allowed to model other lingerie? For a department store? Even if she’s best friends with Elle MacPherson and actually only wears her bras in real life because they’re a million times better than Victoria’s Secret? VS has pretty iron clad contracts for their girls. Want to walk Givenchy? Fine. Want to model in another catalog? Absolutely not.

And if it’s not her, way to go Bloomingdale’s for finding the only other human being in the world who looks like that.

Meanwhile this looks just like Cat McNeil, but it’s not, is it? The url even reads, “PseudoCat.” I might need another cup of coffee.

Unfortunately no matter how hard you study, no matter which school you go to, no matter how many sports you play in high school, you’re kind of either a model or you’re not.

And if you’re not, you’ll probably never know what it’s like to be one. Unless of course you pepper a super successful one with a million questions. So just in case you never get the chance to do that, we’ve done it for you.

Welcome to Life With Behati in which we grab lunch, go vintage shopping and hang out at her new apartment - so new Ikea boxes are stacked in the corner and clocks sit on the floor.

She’ll tell you what she does all day, why American Vogue’s so blah and why she spent the last week hanging out with a crocodile wrangler.

Miranda Kerr might have been named the 10th highest paid model by Forbes this year, but we still know her as the Victoria’s Secret girl who dates Orlando Bloom and once popped up in a Pharrell video.

In fact, she doesn’t even have a Style.com profile.

So if her one major gig pays that much, she probably shouldn’t be posing for another swimsuit label on the side.

Yet, she’s the face of Seafolly, an Australian beachwear brand we came across online featuring a banner of Mirandas against the ocean.

Of course, we’d buy any bathing suit if it’d make us look like her - especially when she’s not rolling around in the sand like a VS sex-kitten.

California may be home to Hollywood and Hugh Hefner, but Miami is getting a one-up in the form of a secret:

Victoria’s Secret, that is.

Today, the company announced its December fashion show won’t take place in Los Angeles, but instead in Miami, Florida.

The move comes on the heels of many VS changes, most notably in their models: Gisele is out and Miranda, Behati, and Trentini are in.

Maybe the high fashion profile that comes from using those runway girls is also what motivated the move down South -

Before VS got to Ocean Drive, it was taken over by Karl for Chanel’s most recent resort show!

Ever since Gisele resigned from Victoria’s Secret, we’ve been killing to know which new girls the brand’s got in their stable.

Well, today we’ve got one:

Behati Prinsloo.

The 20-year-old Namibian will make her first big appearance for Victoria’s Secret next month at the Raleigh Hotel in Miami, when the Pink line has a giant pool and pajama party.

Behati will be joined by veteran VS babe Miranda Kerr, plus Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado from Laguna Beach… wait, sorry The Hills… wait sorry, Total Uselessness.

Although, we guess anyone from US Weekly will be interested to know they’re hosting a bikini party - surely if Brody were still with Lauren Conrad, she wouldn’t allow such behavior?

Victoria Beckham has often shared space with the fashion crowd:

At Marc Jacobs, she was inches from Suvi and Siri on the runway.

At Chanel, Gemma walked right past her.

But never has Posh been on the same runway as actual style babes… until now.

Victoria’s Secret announced today that the ultimate soccer mom will perform with the rest of the Spice Girls at their annual fashion show. The oversexed, over-the-top, and ultimately overboard experience is the closest most men will ever come to seeing Jessica Stam in her undies, and also features catwalks by Caroline Trentini, Miranda Kerr, and maybe Doutzen Krous (if we believe the whispers).

Can Mrs. Beckham hold her own against the world’s top models?

Guess we’ll find out on November 15… unless The Hills are on, and then we won’t be watching.
