>> Streetstyle photographers Garance Dore, Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist, and Tommy Ton of Jak & Jil have all turned their blogs into further industry opportunities - Garance now shoots editorials for the likes of Glamour Italy and guest blogs for Vogue.fr, Scott has photographed two seasons worth of DKNY Jeans campaigns and has a compilation book coming out in September, and Tommy did the Spring 2009 Lane Crawford campaign. And style blogger Susanna Lau's time on Style Bubble allowed her to transition from digital media planner at an ad agency to commissing editor of Dazed & Confused's DazedDigital.com.

In the past week or so, a handful of other fashion bloggers have seen their blog time become currency for further opportunities: Yvan Rodic of Facehunter just announced a compilation book of his streetstyle photography is coming out in early 2010. Julia Frakes of BunnyBisous and Paper's Fashion Schmasion is doing some lookbook time - first in Rachel Antonoff's Fall 2009 set and yesterday, she apparently shot the Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony lookbook, complete with '90s hair; the last round of which Chloe starred in herself. And finally, Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast just signed with Next, is appearing in RVCA's campaign, and has further upcoming editorials and styling work already in the pipeline.

Without further ado, the running list (which will be updated until the photos hit) of who's wearing what, below.

>> Comings and Goings: Layoffs at W, Julia Frakes Signed at Next -W editorial director Patrick McCarthy vowed that the magazine wouldn't be cutting its twelve-month run in half, but the same doesn't go for his staff: features director James Reginato, who has been working with W since the early nineties, has left the magazine; more layoffs are expected next week. Next Model Management, meanwhile, is starting to carve out a fashion blogger portfolio - they signed Fashion Toast's Rumi Neely to their LA branch in April, and just announced representation of BunnyBISOUS's Julia Frakes in New York.

>> THE MODELIZER -Agyness Deyn recently prompted rumors of retirement when she said of Fashion Week: "I do like doing it. But you know when you kind of have it figured out in your head that you don’t want to do this forever?" And it didn't help that days of runway shows passed, and no sign of Agy . . . until this evening. She did both opening and closing honors at Anna Sui Fall 2009, "skipping down the runway" at the end of the show. [BunnyBisous Twitter, CarolHan Twitter]
