Kate Moss and Sasha Pivovarova Pair Up for Longchamp Spring 2009

fashionologie — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 14:10:23 -0800

>> Kate Moss is the long-term face of Longchamp - Spring 2006 and counting - but in recent seasons, she's gone from solo act to one of a duo. For Fall 2008, she was paired with French actor Gaspard Ulliel, and for Spring 2009, she shares face time with fellow floppy-banged, blonde-haired, kohl-eyed model Sasha Pivovarova. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott did the honors again, this time going for a much more color-saturated campaign than last season's study in black and white, and showcasing the brand's new foray into ready-to-wear.

Kelly Cutrone Can, and Will, Eat You For Breakfast

>> Since we're going to be seeing a lot more of Kelly Cutrone — thanks, The Hills! — The New York Observer graciously served us up a little backstory on the People's Revolution founder and tooth-gnashing power publicist.

First, the mini-bio — it's quite a whirlwind. She lives with her 6-year-old daughter, Ava, an Argentinian male model named Demian (who she's not dating), and a 7-year-old girl who is the the granddaughter of a former boyfriend. She was married to her first husband, pop artist and Warhol affiliate Ronnie Cutrone, briefly in her early twenties (she's 42 now), and then seven or so years ago met Ava's father, an Italian in Paris, only shortly after leaving her second husband, an actor. She promptly left Ava's father three months into her pregnancy, and has been dating music producer Jimmy Boyle for some years now.

She left her first PR firm, Cutrone & Weinberg, in her late twenties because she wasn't happy and decided to become a tarot card reader on Venice Beach for a year and a half. As for where she is today, People's Revolution reps 46 clients, including Longchamp, Yigal Azrouel, Vivienne Westwood, and Sass & Bide. Kelly's happy with where the company is at, and curates her clients based on those she thinks deserve "a voice."

I wouldn’t want 80 percent of [powerhouse fashion firm and rival] KCD’s roster. I would never rep Versace, I can’t stand her, I think she makes disgusting clothes. Calvin [Klein] is like, snore! Who wears Calvin Klein? I’m not dissing him. I think he’s built an amazing, respectable business, but I would never want to work for Calvin Klein, ever.

Oh, and good thing Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port aren't Kelly's assistants — althought it might make for better drama — she works until 1 or 2 am during fashion week, midnight many other months, and doesn’t allow her two assistants to leave before she does.

>> THE MODELIZER —Kate Moss may pop in during couture week at the beginning of July, but not for any catwalking. Her boyfriend's band, The Kills, has been booked to perform at the 60th anniversary bash for Longchamp on July 2. How convenient, considering that Kate is the face of Longchamp . . . [WWD]
