>> Casting for New York Fashion Week is under way and the last of the Spring 2010 show packages are trickling in. A few telling tidbits from those pages:

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —The first of many Fall 2009 Gucci ads has dropped, this one featuring Anja Rubik. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin still did the photographing honors, but the look is a hard-edged change from the pastoral, verdant ads of seasons past. Expected in upcoming images: perennial Gucci faces like Jacquetta Wheeler, Raquel Zimmermann, Freja Beha Erichsen, Natasha Poly, and Abbey Lee Kershaw, with a few surprises — Myf Shepherd, Dree Hemingway, and Jamie Bochert.

>> THE MODELIZER —Jamie Bochert has experienced a career resurgence since Marc Jacobs picked her to open his Spring 2009 show, but she doesn't love it, as her fiance, actor Michael Pitt, tells it — she'd rather be recording her upcoming album: "She pays her bills doing print work, as a model, and, you know, she’s lucky to be able to do that — even though she f*ckin’ hates the business, we both hate it. It makes the music industry and the film industry and every industry look like a walk in the park. And when it comes down to it, she’s able to make money and not work in a bar and put it into her music and sustain." [NY Observer]

>> New York Fashion Week is known as the springboard for new faces every season, but for Fall 2009, it's become the springboard for comebacks — especially with models right around the 30-year-old mark. This morning, Frankie Rayder (34), who hasn't hit a catwalk since the Fall 2004 with the exception of Spring 2009 Givenchy, walked Michael Kors. The runways of Preen, Rodarte, Alexander Wang, and Marc Jacobs have been especially overrun with these mainly late-'90s, early-00's faces — from those who have hovered in and out the past few seasons: Anne Catherine Lacroix (29), Natasa Vojnovic (29), Caroline Ribeiro (29), Jamie Bochert (28), Christina Kruse (34), Carmen Kass (30), Colette Pechekhonova (28), Hannelore Knuts (31); to those who have exited the runway for a while — Tasha Tilberg (29), Kirsten Owen (38), Trish Goff (32) — all are booking some of the most coveted spots this season. Kors, Behnaz Sarafpour, Staerk, VPL, and Diane von Furstenberg are feeling it too — the mature woman is back in New York.

>> THE MODELIZER —If a modeling comeback is in order, there's no better way to do it than by opening a Marc Jacobs show. Jamie Bochert, who was big back in the early 2000s until she took a break to focus on music, was asked personally by Marc to do his Spring 2009 show — and now she's fully back in the game, with new representation by Women.

>> THE MODELIZER —Finally, fit models get their due. Jamie Bochert, who likely stood for hours and hours on end in the days leading up to Marc Jacobs's show — most fit models do — was the runway presentation's mysterious opener on Monday, as chosen by the designer himself. [The Cut]
