fashionologie — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:23:32 PST

>> Monika "Jac" Jagaciak has plenty of buzz surrounding her, and scoring the Spring 2010 women’s Calvin Klein Collection campaign again - which she reteamed with David Sims in Carmel, California, for - isn't hurting. As Models.com noted, "Jac is the only girl since Natalia Vodianova to book CK two times in a row. Could Ms. Jagaciak eventually become another iconic CK face right up there with Brooke Shields and Kate Moss?" Natalia Vodianova last appeared in the Calvin Klein Collection Spring 2007 campaign.

>> While Calvin Klein is sticking to Eva Mendes for their Fall 2009 Underwear ads - and giving her the Calvin Klein Jeans campaign as well - they're switching it up for the rest of the cadre. Jourdan Dunn and Sigrid Agren paired up for the CK Calvin Klein set by Craig McDean, who also photographed the Calvin Klein campaign with Jamie Dornan and Edita Vilkeviciute.

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL -Style.com named their top ten new models for Fall 2009 Friday, and along the way confirmed the rumor that 15-year-old Polish wunderkind Monika "Jac" Jagaciak, who couldn't walk in Paris because she was too young, would be Calvin Klein's Fall 2009 face. Apparently she scored the gig last week, and if the rest of the rumor holds true, she's a brand exclusive. [Style.com]

Fall 2009 Ad Campaign Rumors: Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, and Calvin Klein

fashionologie — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 11:50:04 PDT

>> 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.

Givenchy Tried to Cast Adriana Lima for Runway Show at Four Months Pregnant; Roland Mouret "Would Never Do a Diffusion Line"

fashionologie — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 11:56:40 PST

Givenchy called Adriana Lima when she was four months pregnant to walk in their Spring 2010 show, she says: "They take my measurements and I’m like, 'Oh my God, oh my God, I'm big!' And then they say, 'You’re not big enough!' Because they wanted to see the belly." [The Cut]
Roland Mouret is anti-diffusion line: “I would never do a diffusion line. I don’t think the future is that. People mix brands all the time already, so you need to do something else. We are living in a different fashion world now.” [Style File]

>> Early Fall 2010 Campaign Buzz: Calvin Klein, Michael Kors to Switch It Up? -It's early on in the Fall 2010 campaign game, but a couple of interesting tidbits have already come to light. It sounds like Monika "Jac" Jagaciak's campaign exclusive with Calvin Klein Collection - which produced their Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 campaigns - is no longer, so she may not only not be the CK face for Fall 2010, she might also pop up elsewhere. Meanwhile, Carmen Kass, who has appeared in every major Michael Kors campaign since Spring 2006 (with the exception of Fall 2007, which went to Tanya Dziahileva), didn't walk the Fall 2010 Kors catwalk, and now it sounds like there's a chance she won't be in the Kors campaign this season, either.

Valentino Continues Radical Image Change with Fall 2010 Campaign Featuring Nude Models

fashionologie — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:23:29 PDT

>> Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli are driving Valentino in a "younger, more contemporary, complete and desirable" direction, according to the brand's CEO Stefano Sassi, and the Fall 2010 Valentino campaign continues that evolution. Photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott were replaced this season by David Sims, who in what is his first Valentino campaign helped the label with a "radical image change," as WWD put it, capturing Freja Beha Erichsen, Monika Jagaciak, and Tati Cotliar (below) in black and white. Each ad shows the model in two side-by-side images, one of her nude ("shocking," says WWD) and the other fully clothed.
