speaking of originality

   >> I wonder if it bothers US Vogue and Harper's Bazaar that they dressed Gisele and Lindsay Lohan (respectively) in two of the same outfits (the YSL rose cape and the Dolce dress) for their July issues...

voted most likely to get overplayed

   >> I love love loved the Balenciaga collection for fall, so in theory I should be happy to see that all the poofy minikirts, the riding hats, the chunky shoes are already everywhere in editorials.  The unfortunate part about Balenciaga pushing the fashion editors to use complete looks is that I'm already getting sick of seeing their fall outfits everywhere, because there's no mixing and matching, no creativity to be had.  And it's only June.  Gisele and Kate Hudson for US Vogue July 2006 -- Kate's editorial is all in Balenciaga.  Lindsay Lohan for US Harper's Bazaar 2006.

a new-look for ck

>> Shot by the ubiquitous Mert and Marcus, this sneak preview of CK's fall ads courtesy of WWD excites me.  A just post-birth Natalia Vodianova shot in the style of Man Ray and Lee Miller, plus the black-and-white, gives for pure drama, pure glamour.  Looks promising.  Verrrrry promising.

a regular song and dance woman

>> Kate Moss, watch out -- your status as the model with the rock'n'roll attitude might be in danger.  Our favorite Irina Lazareanu is recording an album with Sean Lennon, and the duo's first single, "Strange Places," is coming out in September.  Sure, Kate, you've recorded a song here and there, but a whole album?  I think not.
