Naomi and Linda in fight for fashion

Naomi Campbell has had her fair share of scraps in the past but here’s one she won’t be getting cuffed for.
The feisty supermodel has been matched with Linda Evangelista in a battle between beauties, to represent the new Dsquared2 Spring/Summer 2009 campaign.
The brand’s designers, identical twins Dean and Dan Caten, wanted to portray Dsquared2 women as angels of war and feel that this promotion reveals the idealistic contrast of beauty between universally recognised opposites: ebony versus ivory.

The two iconic models of the Nineties battle it out in a statuesque struggle but despite them looking quite evenly matched, we have our bets on Naomi coming out on top.
Dsquared2 have always tried to incorporate red hot sex appeal in their fashion shows, making the headlines in 2003 when Christina Aguilera performed a catwalk striptease with the male models.
The New York designers’ latest collection was recently presented on the runway during Milan Fashion Week, showing inspiration from the 1930s and ‘jazz-hot nightclubs’.

Introducing Little Le Bon: Simon and Yasmin’s model daughter Amber hits the party scene

Amber Le Bon is the latest celebrity offspring to enter the party circuit.
The 18-year-old model daughter of Duran Duran singer Simon and Yasmin Le Bon popped out for a cigarette outside a London nightclub last night – and like a true professional – took the time to pose for photographers.

Clearly posing comes naturally, and it seems the leggy teenager is set for catwalk stardom just like her supermodel mother Yasmin.
Braving the cold, an oversized grey cardigan wasn’t enough to keep her warm though.
The teenager left little to the imagination in a skimpy mini-skirt and knee-high socks.
Despite her tender age, her smile, stance and general coolness suggests she has been taking pointers off her paparazzi-savvy parents.
Amber has recently been signed by Models One, who have represented her mother for the last 18 years.

Having first-hand experience of how hectic life can be on the catwalk, Yasmin was relieved when her daughter said she planned to go to university rather than pursue a modelling career.
But Amber later had a rethink.
Yasmin said: ‘She is taking a year out to see the world and will see where it will take her,
‘But she has been signed to Models 1 so will also be going to castings very soon.’
The rising star is the new face of high-street chain River Island’s Spring/Summer campaign and is also now rumoured to be involved with Myla lingerie.
