Gemma Ward's The Black Balloon Makes US Debut
>> This week seems to be all about fashion in film — Wednesday brings us both the debut of Karl Lagerfeld's short film and the televised version of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and on Friday, Gemma Ward's film, The Black Balloon, finally makes its US debut, just in time to throw itself into the ring for awards season contention. The film already swept the nominations for Australia's most prestigious film awards — results come out this Saturday — and a similarly positive reception stateside could do wonders for Gemma's film career.

>> THE MODELIZER —Naomi Campbell is still with that billionaire boyfriend of hers, real estate entrepreneur Vladislav Doronin, and they made a stop off in Moscow last Thursday for Russian Vogue's 10th anniversary party. While there, Vladislav dropped 33,000 euros ($43,000) on a matryoshka designed by Stefano Pilati for the occasion, a present for Naomi, who is the Fall 2008 Yves Saint Laurent face. [WWD, Style.com]
>> THE MODELIZER —Kate Moss may have had a false alarm this weekend — she flew out to New York for a two day photoshoot with W Magazine, but discovered upon arrival at JFK airport that the shoot had been cancelled — so she supposedly asked the magazine to foot her flight bill, and then headed straight back to London so she could attend Stella McCartney's store holiday lights ceremony with Lila Grace today.

Gisele Flips Her Hair for Blackcowboy
>> A month ago, Gisele Bundchen was spotted in LA taping a music video as favor to a friend, and the finished product for Blackcowboy's "Come On" video has finally debuted. So will her performance become as iconic as Stephanie Seymour's in "November Rain," the supermodels' in "Freedom" or Kate Moss's in "I Just Don't Know What to do With Myself"? I'm going to go with no.
Sasha Pivovarova's Book for Prada
>> Sasha Pivovarova — the original Sasha Fierce — may no longer be on contract with Prada, but that doesn't mean they don't still have her best interests in mind. The model, who had her first ever photography and drawing exhibition in New York during February's Fashion Week, is now in the process of working on a book of her nymph drawings with Prada's backing, she revealed when stopping by an art opening in Paris last night. But that's not all that's keeping her busy in Paris — she just recently shot the John Galliano campaign for Spring 2009.

Lara Stone's High Heeled Mishap
>> Lara Stone readily admits that she can't walk in heels, and she wasn't kidding. Although she handled them just fine for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, she appeared at the after-party wearing flips flops, her ankle wrapped, which seems to verify the rumors last week that she had trouble wearing the Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte heels at an editorial shoot and had to go to the emergency room because of an accident.

Agyness Deyn Goes Anti-Fur, Temporarily
>> It seems like Agyness Deyn hasn't been as ubiquitous lately, but she did show up with fiance Albert Hammond, Jr. to DJ The Humane Society's Cool vs. Cruel ceremony, honoring those committed to fur-free fashion. Aggy's never been outspoken about her furry feelings, but last night, they were made pretty clear by the anti-fur heart sticker on her top.
She must have had a quick change of heart — she's worn plenty of fur on the runways, and just two days before the event, she wore what appears to be a fur jacket to another event. And she's donned fur of her own volition before, sporting it to the Purple Magazine Party in Feb. 2007. Maybe she comes from the Vogue school of thought — Stephanie LaCava stopped by The Humane Society event fur-free, but put on a big fur coat before stopping by another event the same night.
