>> At 15, Lindsey Wixson Not Ready to Bare All —Lindsey Wixson, who is the current face of Miu Miu after being hand selected by Steven Meisel for a Vogue Italia shoot, asked for a bra to put under her see-through top on a recent W shoot.  W points out: "A lot of other models wouldn't have done that."  Wixson's response? "I'm 15 and even though I freaked a little, I know for a fact that my mom would freak ten times as much. I just couldn't be flashing everyone out there." [W]

>> Yesterday, Deborah Ball, Milan correspondent for the Wall Street Journal since 1997, published House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival, after conducting 220 interviews with the likes of Donatella Versace, her brother Santo Versace, Gianni Versace's partner Antonio D'Amico, Anna Wintour, Joe McKenna, Brana Wolf, and Francois Nars.  In fact, the only person to decline Ball an interview was Allegra Beck Versace, who has never had a predilection for talking to press. House of Versace is the first book to chronicle the ups and downs of the Versace family in English, and it's also the first book written for which the Versaces granted help.

Ball touches on Donatella's long battle with drug addiction, the Versaces' heavy spending habits, Allegra's anorexia, why Gianni left his 50 percent stake in the company to Allegra, and more.

We're officially in love with Robert Duffy and grateful for his new twitter obsession. The president of Marc Jacobs, who started tweeting in anticipation of launching e-commerce for the brand in August, has already asked followers for set ideas for fashion shows happening next week and sent messages from Jacobs, “Marc says hi! He loves that I’m doing this. He thinks I’ll be bored in two days. Let’s see.”

He's also been uploading photos of Marc at work and yesterday told WWD the brand will launch a lingerie collection in 2011. Keep it coming!

A photo Stella McCartney's late mother took of the family's pet dalmatian, Lucky, serves as backdrop to McCartney's spring ad campaign, which also features Natalia Vodianova. Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, McCartney styled the images, saying they were "fashion meets reportage, mixing color, and black-and-white. A family animal with an outside atmosphere meets studio lights, camera, action!"

“I love the way it’s very graphic and soft at the same time, due to its double exposure,” said McCartney of her mother’s photo, which was taken in 1976.” About working with Mert and Marcus, McCartney told WWD: “I have known Marcus since I was a teenager and Mert from when they first met, but we never had the chance to work together. I wanted to capture their high-glamour approach over my mum’s low-maintenance way of working.”

The ads break in March titles fashion titles, Pop, V, and British, French, and Italian editions of Vogue.

For evening, it was all about Hollywood film icons of the Forties—slip dresses with lingerie detailing paired with fur coats and draped gowns covered in sequins and feathers.
