>> Intrigue is afoot. While we wait to see who bagged the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show — and it's not Raquel Zimmermann, who is in Venice, shooting the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 campaign with Juergen Teller instead — the Angels made a store appearance today in Miami. Izabel Goulart was noticeably missing, and Behati Prinsloo, who also has a VS contract, but mostly works with the company's PINK line, was there in her stead. Is Izabel no longer an Angel? There have been rumors about her leaving . . . And is Behati about to get a promotion?

>> Juergen Teller has been known to take some pervy photographs in his time — the set of 28 awkward nude self-portraits from 2004 (NSFW), some with Charlotte Rampling, come to mind. But those were self-portraits — the 50-page spread Teller did of Mariacarla Boscono in the Summer 2008 issue of French men's mag Paradis Magazine is a different story.
Among the shots chronicling "an erotic journey" in Rome, there's one picture that gets up close and personal with Mariacarla's nether regions — very in-your-face, like an American Apparel ad taken to the next level. Paradis' goal is to tap into the French tradition of eroticism, and the other photos from the editorial fit that bill, but this crotch shot . . . well, not so much.

>> Juergen Teller and his favorite Mariacarla Boscono have collaborated again, this time for the Fall 2008 Pucci campaign. The ads are similar to work Juergen and Mariacarla have done together in the past, especially the shot of her randomly standing on a chair, and the intermittently placed letters make the set seem a little like Sesame Street for high fashion. But the full-on headlights shot is a bit of a shocker (you'll see what I mean), and generally speaking, it's an interesting experience to see the bright Pucci colors toned down with Juergen's harsh lighting.

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Following up a season of flailing legs and boxed-up Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs is back with the models for Fall 2008. The full campaign features both Kirsten Owen and Stella Tennant, but in this first look, you wouldn't even know it was Stella, her head is so obscured. [TFS]

>> There's no doubt about it, Marc Jacobs still has BryanBoy on the brain. He named a Fall 2008 Marc Jacobs bag the "BB bag" after the blogger, and quite possibly took inspiration for one of Victoria Beckham's Spring 2008 MJ ads from BryanBoy's shopping bag antics. Now, after seeing the Fall 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs ads, the resemblance to BryanBoy's look is uncanny.
Male model Cole Mohr shot both the MxMJ menswear and womenswear campaigns with Juergen Teller in Texas, but it's the womenswear ads that are really BryanBoy-inspired — the pint-sized Filipino blogger is well-known to wear womens' clothes, including mini dresses and handbags, big sunglasses, and have his boyish haircut sideswept just like Cole's. Only the release of the full campaign will confirm it, but like I said — there's no doubt in my mind that Cole was BryanBoy-ed.
