McCartneys in the Morning

STELLA SS09 .JPGStella McCartney’s show is in the same venue as Yohji’s, and the similarities stop there.

We walk in, greeted by a table stacked with “so sorry you’re seriously here at 10am” peace offerings, including heart-shaped champagne truffles and double espressos.

I watch Stella’s darling daughter hide between her impossibly gorgeous father’s legs, since everyone’s paying more attention to the four year old than to L’Wren Scott.

I sit down and open my travel felt kit. It’s too hard to explain, but fun.

The only thing that distracts me from the neon cartoon mural on the back wall, is Sir Paul McCartney sitting twenty feet away. And the only thing that distracts me from the Beatle, is the sometimes sparkly, always sexy, slouchy collection his daughter sends down her runway.

I remember back when Stella first showed jumpsuits and everyone laughed. I realize that the one-piece tuxedo Raquel Zimmerman wears to close the show might be the hottest thing I’ve seen all season. And I realize that for the first time in a long time, despite their constant appearances this past Fashion Month, sequins actually look appealing.

I mentally block the out of place Leger-inspired bandage dresses that pop up for a split second, and instead enjoy my Tootsie pop, the Paul/Alasdhair/Twiggy view, and my fantasy wardrobe come to life.

Stella + Kirsten = Fall 08 Marc

stella tennant and kirsten owen at ungaro ss 2000.jpgWWD uncovered which model(s) will be the follow-up to Posh Spice for Marc’s Fall 2008 ads, and we don’t think anyone could have guessed this one -

Marc’s going the way of a lot of major campaigns for this Fall, signing two of the biggest models from the 90’s - Stella Tennant and Kirsten Owen.

Stella, who once announced her retirement from modeling in 1998, has appeared in campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Burberry.

You might remember Kirsten from campaigns for Helmut Lang, Alberta Ferretti, Chanel, Fendi, Louis Vuitton - and Marc. Most recently, she was the face of Acne Jeans this past Spring.

Fun facts: Both were both born in 1970 (making them four years older than Posh), and both are moms. In fact, Stella once shot a Burberry campaign while five months pregnant - now that’s a supermodel.

We’re guessing Marc’s going for a haunting mood to balance out the quirkiness of those fuzzy halo headbands. Stay tuned for images…
