Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista tussle for DSquared S/S '09 campaign


Wowsers! Get a load of this awesome team-up. The supermodel gloves are out with Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista reuniting for DSquared's latest spring/summer '09 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel. Now it's just a case of figuring out what they're fighting about. Perhaps it's over who is the biggest diva, or who scored the better campaigns and covers last year? Whatever it's about, I'm jazzed to see them back in the same frame again. More please!

Madonna for Louis Vuitton spring/summer '09 campaign


Get a load of this! Madonna's new campaign for Louis Vuitton has been revealed and its a cracker. Check out those legs, those shoes, that bag *drool*. LV's creative director, Marc Jacobs, admitted that the choice to use Madge was a light bulb moment.

"I just blurted out, 'I think we should do Madonna,"' he said, adding that he'd attended her Paris concert the night before. "I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy."

Following that light bulb moment, Marc tapped out a Blackberry message to Madonna, who replied with: "I'd love to."

And who wouldn't? The outcome is six French-inspired, sepia-toned photographs by Steven Meisel, which were taken of the Queen of Pop inside L.A.'s trendy Café Figaro. Antoine Arnault, Vuitton's director of communications, denied rumours that Madge pocketed a whopping $10 million for the gig.

"It's very far away from that," he admitted.

If, like me, you're wondering what the turn-around was on these photos, then it look less than a day for shooting to wrap, with the pictures taken just last week. Speedy.

"It was her idea to do the fishnets," Jacobs revealed. The campaign looks set to drop in February, in tandem with LV's "core values" campaign, which
currently stars Sean Connery. I sure do look forward to those Miu Miu shots of Katie Holmes now.

Spring/Summer comes early at Topshop?


LEFT: Dress from Topshop's Spring/Summer '09 press day preview;
RIGHT: Skirt, now in at Topshop.com.

Get in now to beat everyone else to the punch! There will be plenty more florals where that skirt came from... and also lace, fringing, bloomers and blazers. I tell ya, makes me look forward to the end of winter that much more.

Burberry blooms for spring/summer '08 campaign - starring Lily Donaldson, Eden Clarke & co.


Burberry has long been about doing things in big electic groups, consisting of a mixture of models, musicians, and other various It-kids.This spring/summer looks no different, with Christopher Bailey luring his cast to Petersham Nurseries, outside of London, for a greenhouse-style shoot. As far as who stars, well it appears that the whispers were correct for once. There is no sign of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley this time, after she was reportedly dropped from the label due to that drug scandal a few months back. Oops!


As speculated, Rosie seems to have been replaced by Eden Clark and actor Alex Pettyfer, amongst others. Joining them are models Lily Donaldson, Alexina Graham and Richard Wyndham, photographer Emily Hope, and musicians George Craig and Sam Beeton. The bunch were shot by Mario Testino, sporting Burberry's strong-selling outerwear. Although, keep your eyes peeled for Burberry's The Gardener bag next season.

"I wanted the mood to be gentle, relaxed, romantic and about a quiet, beautiful sense of luxury," Bailey told WWD. "This campaign highlights the spirit of our wonderfully crumpled classics."

Sarah Harding fronts Ultimo's Spring/Summer 2007 lingerie collection

English singer Sarah Harding of the 'Girls Aloud' pop group showed her curves for Ultimo's new Spring/Summer 2007 collection. The ravishing blonde modeled black and white underwear during a photo shoot in Miami.
Harding, 25, joins a select group of models like Rachel Hunter and Penny Lancaster who have fronted campaigns for Ultimo designer lingerie brand founded by Michelle Mone.
Harding claims she worked very hard to get into shape for the photo shoot.

"I am not a supermodel like all the other previous Ultimo models so I worked really hard to look the best I possibly could," she says.
"The best bit is after the shoot when I get to take all the lingerie home with me."
According to the Daily Mail the photos were taken in a £13 million house and on a £2.5 million yacht.
