Sheer Gowns and Masks Aplenty at Vogue Paris's 90th Anniversary Ball

>> Carine Roitfeld's masquerade ball last night, celebrating 90 years of Vogue Paris and loosely Eyes Wide Shut-themed, meant lots of sheer gowns, and lots of show attendees preoccupied with finding a mask yesterday.

>> Carine Roitfeld's masquerade ball last night, celebrating 90 years of Vogue Paris and loosely Eyes Wide Shut-themed, meant lots of sheer gowns, and lots of show attendees preoccupied with finding a mask yesterday. Anna Dello Russo, inspired by Lady Gaga, paired a Gareth Pugh headpiece with her custom Emilio Pucci gown. Jean Paul Gaultier designed a metal mask for himself adorned with long feathers: "Yes, they're giant eyelashes, acting like hair -- since I'm missing some as you can see — so instead I've gone for this black plume."

Tyra Banks made do with cut up fishnets, Sasha Pivovarova got her mask "from a sex shop," and Lily Donaldson wore a red tulle veil to match her Christian Dior gown: “I made it myself. I went all the way up to the fabric district in Montmartre today.” Stephen Jones made Karlie Kloss's star spangled mask to go with her Christian Dior gown, and Riccardo Tisci did Mariacarla Boscono's over the top feathered hat, while he looked to Philip Treacy to custom make his mask.

While there was plenty of mask ogling, Carine Roitfeld was more preoccupied with other thoughts. “Oh my goodness, even the models are eating, it’s amazing!” she laughed, as Lily Donaldson took a leaf from a chocolate cabbage.

Maryna Linchuk and Boyfriend Salvatore Morale Heat Up 25 Magazine

Maryna Linchuk and her DJ boyfriend, Salvatore Morale, are making a habit of their model-and-boyfriend editorial shoots.

Maryna Linchuk and her DJ boyfriend, Salvatore Morale, are making a habit of their model-and-boyfriend editorial shoots. First the duo appeared in a sexy cocktail-attire-inspired Allure spread last December, and then there was the cover and accompanying editorial for Russian Tatler's February issue. The latest publication to feature the photogenic couple is 25 magazine, in which Linchuk and Morale appear in a steamy editorial called "Room 828." A video of the photo session can be seen here.

Anja Rubik, Sasha Knezevic Fete 25 Magazine Launch in Paris

>> Earlier this week, Anja Rubik and Sasha Knezevic celebrated their new new-look take on Austrian magazine 25 — the official launch issue features Constance Jablonski, Karlie Kloss, and Abbey Lee Kershaw on three separate covers, all styled by Barbara Martelo and photographed by Marcin Tyszka.

Sal Morale (who appears in the issue with girlfriend Maryna Linchuk) DJed the fete in an old Paris apartment, where fellow featured subjects like Heidi Mount, Karlie Kloss, Alana Zimmer, and Kasia Struss joined him.  The issue boasts an abundance of couture — “It is rare to get so many couture clothes in a magazine," Rubik told WWD — and comes in a limited-edition English version (2,000 copies) and a larger print run in German (50,000 copies). “It’s an Austrian magazine so it was important to keep a link between the first issue and Austria,” said Rubik, explaining fashion editorials inspired by artists Egon Schiele (photographed by Victor Demarchelier) and Gustav Klimt (featuring Eniko Mihalik).

Knezevic and Rubik are already hard at work on their next issue of the quarterly magazine; noted the latter: “One of our contributors will be Julia Restoin-Roitfeld."

Maryna Linchuk, Boyfriend Salvatore Morale Pose for Russian Tatler February 2010

>> For a while there, Anja Rubik and Sasha Knezevic had the model-and-real-life-boyfriend editorial market cornered, producing such collaborations as a holiday ad for Gap and quite the steamy pictorial for Man About Town last Fall.

But now they're getting a run for their money, courtesy of Maryna Linchuk linking up with her boyfriend DJ Salvatore Morale in front of the camera. In December, it was a cocktail-centric spread for Allure, and now Maryna and Sal have scored the February 2010 cover of Russian Tatler, with an accompanying editorial inside.
