Released this morning to promote Love magazine's third issue, The Love Thing features not the supers which graced Katie Grand's eight covers but instead Prada-clad Kasia Struss, Lindsay Wixson, Pixie Geldof, Agyness Deyn, and Dree Hemingway. The models play in traffic while wearing leopard coats, sheer trenches, black garters, or nothing at all.

>> 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]

Miuccia Prada Interprets "Innocence" with Cat and Bird Prints for Miu Miu Spring 2010

>> Kate Moss, who attended Yves Saint Laurent a couple of days ago, was in the house for Miu Miu - as were Baz Luhrmann and Renee Zellweger. Miuccia Prada took one of her favorite themes - "pretty perversity," as Suzy Menkes describes it - and sent out a trail of looks mixing prints of cats, swallows, or reclining nudes. Daisy fasteners were affixed on clutch bags.

“It is fresh - about how innocence can survive in this world,” Prada said of the collection, which juxtaposed sweet skirts and schoolgirl collars with bra-like cut-outs and harnesses; Prada exclusive Lindsay Wixson closed, wearing a crystal "rib-lace" - a harness-like necklace that passed beneath the bra.

Interesting side-note - apparently Miu Miu has departed from a number of US department stores after a disagreement over how it should be displayed, writes the Wall Street Journal: "the company wanted their own store-in-stores, while the stores wanted to mix Miu Miu in with the other bags, according to a person familiar with the company."

>> Lindsay Wixson is undoubtedly a designer favorite - Donatella Versace chose Wixson to mirror a younger version of herself, blonde hair, heavy eyeliner, and all in the ad for an upcoming Versace fragrance - and she just shot for Mulberry in Northern England with Tim Walker and Edward Enninful. But she's still only 16, which means she's excited about things like her sixteenth birthday present - Chrysler Sebring convertible - and next year's prom: “Jason Wu’s making my dress!” [Vogue]

>> First Look: Lindsay Wixson for Miu Miu Spring 2010 -Miucca Prada broke the pattern last season, casting a bevy of models for the Fall 2009 Miu MIu campaign after seasons and seasons of stars and starlets. For Spring 2010, she stuck with models again, albeit just one - the polarizing, beestung-lipped Lindsey Wixson, who closed the Miu Miu show and was captured for the campaign in London last month.

>> The Spring 2010 Prada show is starting shortly, and already details are rolling in. The set evokes black-and-white film stills, and the show is apparently all about the beach, with silk palm tree and beach scene-printed mini shorts and jackets, clear jeweled jelly shoes and dresses, and low side ponytails and glossy red lips.

Update 1: A first look from the buyer's show. [IGriese Twitter]

Update 2: A rumor is going around that the press show is starting an hour late because Anna Wintour wanted to introduce Roger Federer, who she brought to Prada, to Giorgio Armani beforehand. [Christina Binkley Twitter]

Update 3: More details: "Shorn off clothes . . . volume sillhouettes, florals." [Christina Binkley Twitter]

Update 4: Lindsay Wixson walked (she opened), and apparently Sasha Pivovarova and Ymre Stiekema didn't. [TFS, TFS, TFS]

Update 5: Fabrics were neoprene, and crystals hung from the heels, the plastic bags, and the finale dresses. [Joe Zee Twitter, Joe Zee Twitter]

Shalom Harlow in the House for John Patrick's Spring 2010 Organic Collection

>> A bubbly John Patrick zipped around among the crowd gathered in the unlikely presentation space of Keens Steakhouse restaurant - complete with bar at 11 am (not many partook) - chatting up friends, press, and his star mannequin, Shalom Harlow, who was posed away from the group in a mannish tightly-tailored suit and bowtie. His energy alone increased the enthusiasm for his speakeasy-inspired Organic collection's faded floral shirtdresses, cropped pants, and easy separates. And for all you model-watchers: newly-minted Steven Meisel favorite Lindsay Wixson was there.
