With Gisele Bundchen absent from the Rio de Janeiro catwalk this season, many journalists and fashionistas have been asking themselves who the new face of Fashion Rio 2008 is.
Supermodel Isabeli Fontana has been heralded as one of the models to watch. She opened the show for Salinas swimwear collection, showed Cavendish, and Catao among others.
Fashion Rio coordinator and organiser Eloysa Simao said Fontana looks “better than ever.”
The Curitiba native, who made her return to the Rio runway after the birth of her second child and a long hiatus, has been featured in the magazines, Sports Illustrated, Elle, and Marie Claire. On top of that Fontana has graced the pages of Victoria’s Secret catalogue for the last ten years.
But the “it” girl of the season seems to be 19-year-old Emanuela de Paula, who “Tudo de Bom!” magazine called the “new star.”
The Northeastern native from Pernambuco state, who is also a Victoria’s Secret “angel,” modelled exclusively for swim wear brand Salinas this season.

Given that her husband, Matthew Vaughn, has already directed a promotional broadcast for the Conservatives, for whom he works as a “creative consultant”, Claudia Schiffer, pictured, would seem a natural choice to offer David Cameron and his colleagues a few fashion tips.
The German supermodel tells Mandrake that she believes image has, however, become too important in politics.
“I don’t think style, for instance dress sense, should be important to a politician,” she said at a reception for Graduate Fashion Week, at Earls Court in London. “There is far too much emphasis on appearance and the exterior at the moment in politics.”
Mandrake urges her to speak to Charlie Falconer, the former Lord Chancellor, who I spotted wearing faded jeans and a pair of garish lime-green trainers at a theatre this week.

Orlando Bloom cuddled up with supermodel girlfriend Miranda Kerr on the dance floor at the third annual Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Party held in London recently.
Held at the Stud House, Hampton Court Palace in Richmond upon Thames, London, England, the party saw the lovebirds jiving and grooving with each other. The two gave the others present at the party enough to talk about. Their sultry moves were much more than mere dancing! The couple seemed so engrossed into each other that they snubbed the rest of crowd, making sure that nothing could come between the two.
The party was attended by many Hollywood bigwigs like Kate Beckinsale, Hugh Grant, Kevin Spacey and Joan Collins. U2 frontman Bono also treated gala attendees with a performance.
