Juerger Teller Loves Wearing Short Satin Shorts Thanks to a Marc Jacobs Campaign

>> Juergen Teller wore an oversized white T-shirt and super-short blue satin shorts edged with white piping for a recent interview with the Independent — a practice he apparently picked up on the set of the Spring 2004 Marc Jacobs campaign shoot he did with Charlotte Rampling: "I got to Paris, and to my complete horror I couldn't fit into any of the clothes.

>> Juergen Teller wore an oversized white T-shirt and super-short blue satin shorts edged with white piping for a recent interview with the Independent — a practice he apparently picked up on the set of the Spring 2004 Marc Jacobs campaign shoot he did with Charlotte Rampling: "I got to Paris, and to my complete horror I couldn't fit into any of the clothes. I was too fat."  Juergen had chosen to shot himself for Jacobs's menswear that season, but the only piece he could fit into was a pair of silver satin shorts.  The decision was made, and supposedly, he's worn the style religiously since.

>> We saw Phoebe Philo's first go at Celine a few weeks ago, and now it's time to peruse the first looks of another highly-anticipated matchup: Roldofo Paglialunga at Vionnet.

>> Stylist Tabitha Simmons's Shoe Collection Find an Exclusive Home at Bergdorf —Stylist and Vogue contributing editor Tabitha Simmons nervously launched her eponymous shoe line during Paris Fashion Week in March, while husband and photographer Craig McDean walked fans like Karen Elson through the collection. Later, she told the New York Times of the line: "I wanted to do styles that were timeless — no crazy heels or platforms that tie them to one season. These are English walking boots, crossed with a Scottish Highland influence. I’ve also done sexy sandals and girly Mary Janes. It’s a little schizophrenic, the line."  The collection — of which The Cut has a gallery — arrives exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman next month, and ranges from $795 to $2,200. [The Cut]

Canada, her one-hour special, "Coco Rocha Fashion Attack in NYC," premiered in Canada on June 15.  Last night, she hosted a screening for friends — including her best friend Behati Prinsloo — who missed out the first time at the Bryant Park Hotel, and finally, some clips have surfaced that can be watched in the US, including interviews with Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley talking about a cape he bought at a bullfighters' outfitters in Madrid.  At the screening, she said of the experience: “In the end of it all, I was so excited to be done with it. But when everyone went home I was like, more!”

>> About Chanel Iman's Teen Vogue Internship . . . A little clarification on Chanel's Teen Vogue internship — she was in the offices for a cover shoot with the magazine, according to her London agency Viva: "Chanel arrived for a Teen Vogue shoot very early. Rather than wait around doing nothing, or go away for a few hours, she said that she wanted to help out in the fashion cupboard. She tidied the place up and helped organise the samples." [Vogue UK]

UPDATE: Teen Vogue's got a gallery of the model in action. [Teen Vogue]

Alexander McQueen Sticks with His Staples for Cruise 2010

>> Alexander McQueen threw his hat into the increasingly popular video presentation ring for his menswear show last week, and set up Janete Friedrich and Ulrike Theusner in mannish tailored suits for his Fall 2009 McQ campaign — compare with the cheerleaders of seasons past — but for his Cruise 2010 collection, he's still on the same wavelength as collections past — body-fitting graphic suits, illusion-like structured dresses, full skirts, with a little spattered paint thrown in for good measure.
