From Moss to Kloss: The Most Buzzed About Models of 2011

2011 was definitely the year of the model. Models gained influence in pop culture, with new TV shows, documentaries, and larger features in magazines. It looks like editors will have to fight for their right to call themselves the “new models.”

And there were certainly enough big news stories to keep models in the headlines. From Kate Moss’ wedding to Jamie Hince, to a crop of new girls who instantly zoomed to the top, to both Karlie Kloss’ and Andrej Pejic’ topless photos that caused minor scandals, there’s been a lot to talk about in modeling.

Fashion News Roundup: Terry Richardson Snaps Lindsay Lohan in Paris (a Lot), the Best Flea Markets in the US, and Study Says Makeup Makes You More ‘Trustworthy’

The Office‘s Mindy Kaling Relaunches Blog, is Hilarious and Awesome: The Concerns of Mindy Kaling is full of honest and LOL-worthy observations and tips, like what jewelry to wear if “you want to look laid back but rich, like say, Matthew McConaughey’s girlfriend.” There’s a good chance you’ll start believing she’s your actual BFF… word of warning. {MTV Style}

Apparently Wearing Makeup Makes You More Likable: Studies conducted by Procter & Gamble, which (a bit suspiciously) produces a huge array of makeup products, show that women who wear makeup are perceived as more likable, competent, and trustworthy than those who do not. The only exception was for women wearing “glam” makeup, who seemed less trustworthy. Are you listening, Kardashian Klan? {The Gloss}

London Fashion Week Backstage Confidential: The Beauty, the Chaos, Naomi Campbell, and a Chat with Sir Philip Green

I gathered a lot of information that afternoon (and a lot of poor quality pictures) and decided it was worth a re-telling. So, put on your special all-access wristband and follow me:

1:30: Arrive at train station, to creepy unused old Eurostar section. Get wristband and head up a long ramp and non-functioning escalator. Oh! There’s a glass ceiling and tons of light. No longer creepy.

1:35: I notice that the models all have gold paint in their hair. And I also say hi to Charlotte Free, the pink-haired model who was a fixture for a season or two on the runways. She still has pink hair.
