Claudia Schiffer has been confirmed as the face of Chanel for next season. The supermodel was spotted yesterday in Buenos Aries being snapped by Karl Lagerfeld himself, sporting a gaucho hat and next season’s much coveted ribbon-printed tights.
Tilda Swinton is, of course, not only the face of Pringle of Scotland but also stars in a short film of the collection directed by Ryan McGinley. John Galliano let slip at a party this week that he has chosen rinsing star Karlie Kloss as the face of Dior. And Alexander McQueen has tapped Raquel Zimmerman, who was shown morphing into a lizard in a film at his catwalk show, to front his spring campaign.

Kate’s favorite part of the collection is the nightwear. She told press, “I love beautiful nightwear, it makes you feel great. I’ve collected millions of vintage slips, nighties, camis and bed jackets. Who doesn’t want fab nightwear for Christmas?”

Runway legend Cindy Crawford has opened up about her feelings on growing old gracefully particularly as a woman in her 40s still working in the fashion industry.
The 43-year-old supermodel and mum-of-two recently told Hello! that she has learned to embrace her body and changing appearance as she has grown older, letting go of any prior pressures to look perfect.
She told the magazine: “I’m more comfortable with myself in the sense that hey, this is who I am now. I guess I appreciate my body for other things – like I was able to give birth to two kids.
“But at the same time, I am aware my body doesn’t look the same way it did when I was 23. I don’t want to stand next to a 20-year-old on the runway, even if people say you can still do it.”
As one of the original supermodels, Cindy launched her modelling career back in the late 80s and early 90s.
The brunette tied the knot with her second husband Rande Gerber in 1998. She was previously wed to Hollywood heartthrob Richard Gere.

Heidi Klum may soon be giving the contestants on “Project Runway” a little competition.
The supermodel-turned-TV-star has teamed up with Modern Vintage and Majestic Mills co-founders Rick and Brian Cytrynbaum to create a pervasive lifestyle collection for the coming seasons.
The yet-to-be-named line is set to launch for fall ’10 with a selection of footwear, Rick Cytrynbaum told Footwear News in an exclusive interview. He said it will later branch out to include activewear, dresses and swimwear.
“[Heidi] has really established an amazing fashion direction,” Cytrynbaum said, noting that the supermodel has been instrumental in sketching and designing the line since its inception. “She’s amazing in what she does.”
Footwear is expected to make its debut at the February shoe shows with about 48 styles ranging from sky-high stilettos to tall boots. “It’s the whole ‘Heidi’s closet’ concept,” said Cytrynbaum, who is still working with the team to determine price points. “It’s feminine with a bit of a fashion and rock ‘n’ roll edge.”
Klum, who recently gave birth to daughter Lou, is also adding maternity clothing into the mix. That collection is set to hit stores in February.
