Now It’s REALLY Confirmed: Karlie Kloss Says She’s Sad About Missing NYFW, Hints at a ‘Game Changer’ Career Move
By Cheryl Wischhover
A lot goes into making fashion week happen. And despite the proliferation of fashion reality television shows, there is still a lot that you might not know about. So, we decided to ask some of our friends in the industry what their day to day life is like leading up to, during and following fashion week. From the perspective of a designer, a publicist, a show producer, a pit photographer, a makeup artist and more, keep reading to learn how fashion week gets made.
For this installment of “How Fashion Week Gets Made,” we interviewed Casting Director-extraordinaire Julia Samersova, who has worked in the industry for 20 years–first as a model agent, and now as casting director–and counts some of the biggest designers as clients. You may also recognize Julia from E!’s Scouted, where her seasoned wisdom is on full display as she, alongside Michael Flutie, Scott Lipps, and others, search for the next big thing.

Ford Cops to Repping Underage Models This Season Despite CFDA Guidelines: Does This Mean Age Restrictions Are Unrealistic?
The CFDA’s new health initiative guidelines–which stipulate, among other things, that models be ID’d to show they are above 16 years of age–have been met, for the most part, with glowing support from the fashion industry. Or so it seems. Because despite the industry’s best intentions, actually following the new rules is a whole other ballgame.
Designers Tory Burch and Tommy Hilfiger both told the New York Times that models that are either too young or too thin are still being sent to them by casting agencies. Burch said she was concerned for some models who walked through her door during this season’s casting. “There is still an issue, and there is still a lot of work to be done,” she said. “There have been positive steps. But I see some girls coming in who are really emaciated. It is still a problem.”
Here’s the problem:

UPDATED: Karlie Kloss Won’t Walk New York Fashion Week This Season
By Cheryl Wischhover

New York Fashion Week runways may lose the best legs in the business this season, if we’re to believe the rumors. Thanks to the ever-alert eyes over at Fashin, there’s some Twitter rumbling that Karlie Kloss is skipping the season for a “big” opportunity.
CNN’s fashion reporter, Alina Cho (check out the profile on her in the New York Daily News–she’s the new Elsa Klensch!) tweeted (via @AlinaChoCNN) this nugget last night:

Watch: Karlie Kloss, Lou Doillon, Anja Rubik and the Rest of the Next Model Crew Get Silly for Fashion Month
By Hayley Phelan
Are you ready for New York Fashion Week? Next Paris models Abbey Lee, Aline Weber, Anja Rubik, Arizona Muse, Hailey Clauson, Karlie Kloss, Lou Doillon (and many more) certainly are.
In this new NYFW pump-up video, directed by Sebastien Haddouk & Julien Gallico, the Next Paris models pose and primp in front of an imaginary mirror, dance like crazy, smell their pits and just kind of freak out in general. In other words, it’s exactly what goes on in our apartments before fashion week gets underway. Except, of course, we’re not supermodels–and sadly, unlike Karlie Kloss, we’re not sure we could pull off that slit-to-there Anthony Vaccarello dress quite so elegantly. (Seriously, does she live in that thing?)

Models Have Rights Too: Learn Why Coco Rocha, Crystal Renn and More are Lending Their Support to the Model Alliance
Last night loads of leggy models–A-listers like Shalom Harlow, Doutzen Kroes, Coco Rocha and Crystal Renn among them–gathered at the Standard in the Meatpacking to sip free vodka drinks over loud music. At first glance, a typical fashion party.
Only it wasn’t. These models were gathered to celebrate the launch of the Model Alliance, a non-profit organization founded by Sara Ziff dedicated to “helping models in the American fashion industry organize for safe, fair, and healthy standards in their workplace.”

EXCLUSIVE: Watch the Victoria’s Secret Angels Talk About Their Awkward, Gum-in-Hair, First Kisses
By Leah Chernikoff
They may be flawless supermodels now but even the Victoria’s Secret Angels were once inexperienced teenagers going through the typical awkward milestones–first kisses and all.
To get you in the Valentine’s Day spirit (which we tend to forget during Fashion Week madness), watch Doutzen Kroes, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanepoel, Erin Heatherton, Lily Aldridge and Lais Ribeiro–all scantily clad in VS undies–talk about the first time they ever smooched a guy. Turns out that being incredibly hot does not automatically make you a good kisser: Doutzen says her first kiss was “not so good,” while Lily cops to feeling embarrassed and running away afterwards. Erin’s first kiss, on the other hand, lead to a very, very sticky situation literally).
We won’t give the whole thing away but we have to say, hearing about their first kiss snafus, is making us feel a whole lot better about our teenage awkwardness.

Modeling and modesty are two words that seem mutually exclusive, but a Muslim fashion designer in New York City is trying to change that. A new agency for Muslim models, called Underwraps, is launching next week during New York Fashion Week. Its goal? To prove that models can be gorgeous, stylish, and yet still maintain their religious beliefs.
Nailah Lymus is an American-born Muslim whose parents converted to Islam before she was born. She adheres to the modesty tenets of the religion, which require that clothes be loose enough so as not to reveal your shape, and that basically the only body parts that can be visible are your face, hands and feet. Sound challenging? It doesn’t have to be. I chatted with Lymus this week about her background, Muslims in fashion, and her plans to launch a modeling agency.

Helena Christensen Is Really Sexy. She Also Happens to Be Wearing Reeboks.
By Cheryl Wischhover
The supermodels return: Yesterday it was Linda Evangelista in Love, and today it’s Helena Christensen in Reeboks…and little else. The 43-year-old super gives Karlie Kloss a (leggy) run for her money in a bandage bodysuit and sneakers. Christensen was in a Reebok ad back in 2010, where she wore absolutely nothing except sneakers and a growl, so this ad is tame by comparison. Read more »
Photo: LOVE via Fashion Copious
We’ve already seen a sneak preview of Rachel Zoe as a vampire and Kate Moss and Lara Stone as flowery cats, but now we know who covers Love issue 7: one of the original supers, Linda Evangelista. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and styled by Katie Grand, the pics were inspired by punk artist Jamie Reid. The cover proclaims “After Taste: Celebrating the end of elegance with Linda Evangelista,” but we’d argue that she looks pretty elegant anyway, smeared lipstick and all. Read more »

Rumor: Did Vogue Play Matchmaker for Karlie Kloss and Eddie Redmayne?
By Leah Chernikoff

Remember that gorgeous editorial in Vogue’s December issue featuring Karlie Kloss and Eddie Redmayne as “a couple of sinners on Ibiza—she, wearing printed resortwear generating plenty of heat; he, trying hard to keep his cool.” The spread, titled “Temptation Island” and lensed by Mario Testino, seems to have spawned a real life romance.

Gisele Bundchen Implores Friends and Family to Pray for Hubby ‘Tommy’ Before the Super Bowl
Here at Fashionista, Tom Brady is generally known as “that football player who’s married to Gisele.” This Sunday she’ll be a good wife and support her husband as he plays in the Super Bowl against the New York Giants. To help in his quest for a Super Bowl ring (the fact that there’s a ring involved makes us slightly more interested in the game), Gisele is using her pull to enlist the help of a pretty powerful guy: God.
The New York Post somehow got its hands on an email that Gisele sent to friends and family, and made it their COVER story:
