Naomi Campbell for Russian Vogue

Naomi Campbell graces the cover of Russian Vogue’s December issue, all bundled up in a lavish white fur coat adorned with diamonds and appropriately ready for winter.

The inside spread, however takes a different turn depicting Campbell as Cat Woman – which again, is appropriate considering Campbell is infamous for her catty ways. Either way she makes a fierce and ferocious feline!

And who says a model’s careers ends at age 25? Naomi is pushing 40 and still lookin fabulous! …. Or maybe that's only because cats have 9 lives!

She’s back bitches…

Britney Spears is seen here gracing the cover of December’s issue of Rolling Stone magazine; perfect timing for her new documentary to premiere on Sunday. I could not be more excited to hear her talk about everything that has happened to her before, during and after the ‘shaving her own head’ incident.

She looks natural, fit, fun and flirty in these pics!! Look at that body! I was never a fan of her… but after seeing her fall and breakdown this year, I only have the best wishes for her to get back on track… She is on her road to recovery and looking great doing it!

Check out the clip below for a 30 second preview of her music video for Circus.
ENJOY!!

Our “It” Designer of the Month… Nicholas Kirkwood

Look no further for the hottest new shoes to hit the streets of New York, London, Paris, and Milan. The “it” designer that came up with these beauties: British newcomer Nicholas Kirkwood.

His designs can be seen on the spring 2008 runways of Tommy Hilfiger, Doo.Ri, and 3.1 Phillip Lim to name a few. Oh did I fail to mention… this is his first season officially in the game. He studied fine art at Central Saint Martins and shoemaking at Cordwainers cobbler program before starting his own shoe collection out of his house.

His designs are beautiful, artistic and just plain fabulous.

“I've always been interested in structure, in very linear shapes,” he said. “Whether it's furniture or accessories or whatever, I love things that have a practicality to them.”

His designs are one a kind and you pick out his designs on any runway. “They're not for everybody,” Kirkwood says. With that said... all you true fashionistas… enjoy.
