This season it's all about the #selfie. And no one is better at the medium than those genetic lottery winners, models. Not only are they young (and therefore spending a lot of time on social media), but they're also exceptionally photogenic and know a thing or two about lighting and angles. A bunch of the best models on the planet--Karen Elson, Jourdan Dunn, Karlie Kloss and tons more--graciously gave us their best selfie tips, along with a selfie of course.

H&M has been really busy lately. On the heels of the release of their Beyonce-fronted campaign and their annual sustainability report, comes more exciting news from the retailer: A new collection inspired by four of the industry's most recognizable (and beautiful) faces--Joan Smalls, Daphne Groeneveld, Lindsey Wixson, Liu Wen--set to hit stores mid April, Vogue UK is reporting.

Zahia Dehar actually showed up for an interview with the Telegraph--physically, anyway. She gave a lot of one word answers and also, um, cried. {Telegraph} Kate Middleton and Prince William reportedly have a cute and fruity nickname for their baby-to-be. {US Weekly} Bar Refaeli's in trouble again for evading compulsory military service in her native Israel. {HuffPo} From Material Girl to boy scout: Madonna donned a scout's uniform (accessorized with fishnets of course) to present an award to Anderson Cooper at the GLAAD Awards. {New York Daily News}

Yes, models work really hard, traipsing to endless go-sees and 4am call times. But there sure are some good perks--I mean, besides being blessed with impossibly good looks. The models at the top of the heap, many of whom have become friends and muses to designers over the years, are gifted some pretty amazing swag. We chatted with the likes of Karlie Kloss, Jessica Stam, and Cara Delevingne backstage this past New York fashion week about the best freebies they've ever received from a designer. (Hint: Marc Jacobs is very generous.) Prepare to be green with envy.

When I woke up this morning and hit my Twitter feed (sadly, the second thing I do after making coffee), people in Milan were abuzz about Karl Lagerfeld's fur-heavy fall Fendi show. Even the sunglasses and shoes were furry! But what caught my attention were the fur faux-hawks--which I'm now dubbing "fur-hawks."

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} Lindsay Lohan at PFW with Fash Folk: Remind me again, what exactly does Lindsay Lohan do these days, aside from being photographed? Here's the... ahem, actress, hanging out and making various hand gestures with Terry Richardson, Lindsey Wixson, and Charlotte Free in Paris. {Refinery29 via Terry's Diary}

Why build to a dramatic finish when you can open with a bang? At least that seemed to be Oscar de la Renta's philosophy when he presented his spring 2012 collection yesterday at a gritty unfinished space on W. 42nd St.--a move from the Upper East Side Park Ave. location where he's been showing for years. Models burst out onto the runway in silk taffeta ball gowns in marigold, emerald and tomato that billowed down the longest runway I've ever seen to a soundtrack of, get this, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Really. There were still plenty of embroidered and crocheted cocktail day appropriate for de la Renta's core ladies-who-lunch clientele, but with the new show space and bad ass rock soundtrack the designer seemed to be turning over a new leaf with renewed energy. If you needed more proof that there was a new Oscar in town this season, look no further than the youthful star-studded front row. While de la Renta's front row is usually stacked with his posh friends and buyers, this season Justin Timberlake was there (we overheard him exchanging pleasantries and tennis with Anna Wintour), a few seats down from him was Ashley Olsen (she and JT were both wearing black suits), and across from Ashley was New York fashion week's unexpected new star, Nicki Minaj (she wasn't wearing pants and had on a tiger hat complete with ears). The tanned glory that is Valentino Garavani was also there, a few chairs down from Barbara Walters. But back to the clothes.

Lindsay Wixson Says 'Au Revoir' to Paris Fashion Week: The young model left Paris earlier this week after suffering from an allergic reaction caused by make-up. No particular show was blamed but we can't imagine a face full of red make up at Victor & Rolf was good for anyone's skin. Wixson will be missed at upcoming major shows like McQueen and Vuitton. {Vogue UK} Armani's Spring Collection On Screen: Giorgio Armani is the latest designer to jump on the fashion on film bandwagon. The film, entitled "The Color of the Night," features Karen Elson in Armani's flowing 'Le Femme Bleue' collection. Stills from the video can be found in the march issue of Interview. {Interview Magazine} Lily Allen to Wed in Chanel: After starring in a Chanel handbag campaign and singing live at the house's Spring 2010 runway show, it's no surprise that Lily Allen has turned to Karl Lagerfeld to design her wedding dress. The singer will tie the knot with her beau Sam Cooper later this year. {Telegraph}

Miu Miu held its Autumn/Winter 2010 show at 47, Av

I nearly had a heart attack on the way to Miu Miu. We had to cross all of Paris post-Cerruti and traffic was terrible. I wanted to scream, "I can
