Fab Ad: Roberto Cavalli, Fall '09
Roberto Cavalli's Fall ad campaign is a scene we're all too familiar with: paparazzi shots inside nightclubs. Models Isabeli Fontana (a Cavalli favorite; she was in this Fall '09 campaign, too) and Karen Elson reenact today's celeb craze inside the El Morocco nightclub in NYC. Photographer Steven Meisel, whose first time it was working with the designer, was there document the chaos.
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: The Models
Last night's theme at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala was "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," an exploration of how models have inspired and projected fashions throughout recent years. Of course, my coverage of this event would not be complete without a gallery of models who walked the red carpet. (Here's why some big names didn't show up).
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: British Beauties
Last night was one of the biggest nights in fashion as many of the A-list hit the red carpet in New York to attend the opening of 'The Model as a Muse' exhibition at the Met. Despite several names pulling out (including Naomi Campbell owing to her allegiance to Alaia) there were still plenty of glamorous Brits at the event including hosts Kate Moss and Anna Wintour. Here are the ladies flying the flag for Blighty in New York.
Fab Ad: Karen Elson for Agent Provocateur
This week Karen Elson joins a growing club of Agent Provocateur ad campaign stars. She follows in the footsteps of Kate Moss, Daisy Lowe and Helena Christensen who have all previously posed in their smalls for the lingerie brand. Karen poses with wild crimped hair in the fairytale scene with two other girls and a fallen man.
Fab Ad: Celine Spring '09
While we eagerly anticipate Phoebe Philo's debut Celine collection, let's take a gander at Ivana Omazic's last hurrah. For Celine's Spring '09 campaign, the designer chose redhead beauty Karen Elson to show off her selection of luxuriously colorful handbags, frocks, and chic outerwear. I like how photographer Bruce Weber contrasted Karen's red hot locks against the stark background.

Love it or Hate it: Karen Elson for Donna Karan
Karen Elson is the face of Donna Karan for autumn/winter 2008 and this month I spotted this ad in Vogue UK. I really like Karen, and am amazingly jealous of her fiery red hair. My love for her grew during the autumn Zac Posen show where she laughed her way through a fall.
Bond Gets a Right Royal Welcome for Quantum of Solace
Princes William and Harry joined a whole host of stars on the red carpet in London's Leicester Square last night for the Royal World Premiere of Quantum of Solace at the London Film Festival. Daniel Craig looked suitably suave alongside his partner, Satsuki Mitchell, and the famous females in attendance ignored the freezing weather and pulled out all the stops with their slinky outfits. Costars Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko went for bright jewel tones, with Judi Dench wearing the most striking accessory of the night on her back.
Fab Ad: Donna Karan Resort '09
There's nothing more beautiful than a redhead in dusty pink. And who better to portray the frilly girliness that is Donna Karan's Resort '09 line than model Karen Elson? "Karen has this paleness of skin, this white skin that was so delicious," the designer said.
Top Catwalk Blunders
Being on the catwalk must be a nerve wracking experience and any error made by a model can become more famous than the clothes! Yesterday Heidi Range lost her shoe on the catwalk at Fashion for Relief and this got me thinking about catwalk blunders, so here are a few of the most famous...
Last season Karen Elson strutted down the catwalk at Zac Posen in an enormous ball gown and Mickey Mouse ears.
