>> Just yesterday we were talking about the general direction of Fall 2009 ad campaigns and who might be the lucky girls, and already we've got some more concrete rumors.   

First up, a surprise: Balenciaga is not one of the major brands to go with a single girl that was mentioned yesterday — instead, they're going with a group — of celebrities, at that — lensed by Steven Meisel.  In the past seasons, Nicholas Ghesquiere has used Charlotte Gainsbourg and Jennifer Connelly — will they reprise their roles, or is he going with an entirely new look?  I'm leaning toward the latter.

As for Calvin Klein, Francisco Costa is rumored to have chosen Monika "Jac" Jagaciak, one of the standout faces of the season, for the main Collection campaign — as an exclusive, just as he did with Anna Selezneva for Spring 2009. And it seems Stefano Pilati is continuing his super obsession at Yves Saint Laurent — past seasons have seen Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss was just photographed for an upcoming fragrance.  Now, Christy Turlington is rumored to have been shot for Fall 2009.

>> THE MODELIZER —Thanks to The Selby, we've seen the innards of Erin Wasson's Manhattan pad; now Interview has a few snapshots of the Venice Beach house she's lived in for six years — the one with the half-pipe in the backyard and a fully-insulated, electricity-laced treehouse.  The self-described "total gypsy" who "start[s] getting the jitters" after two weeks in one place is well on her way to keeping those away.  As for that goal to edit down her wardrobe and "be very Japanese, where you have one rolling rack and it's like your four T-shirts, your five dresses, your two pairs of jeans," last weekend's garage sale must have done some damage; she ended up making $8,000 for charity.

Karl Lagerfeld's entourage just lost its most good-looking member, but it gained another pretty face to fill the void.

The Hermes sale in New York is almost as buzzed about as the Barneys Warehouse Sale, though the line today is somewhat sparse. 

The Gap is going colorless-luxe for fall but thankfully, that doesn't mean they've adopted a luxury price point. 

And what has Topshop in store this season? In honor of the New York opening, brush up on your summer deliveries.
