First Duran Duran teams up with Mark Ronson for its latest album, All You Need Is Now. Next on the eighties popsters’ revival agenda: supermodels. Naomi Campbell and slew of models will join the rock stars in their upcoming video. Might want to ask Kate Moss, while you’re at it—rumor has it she’s sorry she [...]

Karen Elson was very clear: Models don’t like the “model-slash” term. So we won’t call Abbey Lee a model-slash-musician. We’ll just note that in addition to her runway and print-campaign skills, she’s also apparently got a knack for playing the tambourine.

We’re all work and no play here at Style.com. Our intrepid executive editor, Nicole Phelps, and editor at large, Derek Blasberg, are both in the hard-at-work capital of the world, Saint-Tropez, for the Chanel Resort show.

The gates of Heaven, as it were, are guarded by three PR checkpoints and one drug-sniffing dog. Those are the hoops you’ve got to leap through to get to the Angels—the Victoria’s Secret Angels, at least—who I met yesterday as they sat in their 30 makeup chairs, preparing for the HD-filmed, soon-to-be-televised Victoria’s Secret runway [...]

This season, four girls stood out by taking them most often: new favorite Abbey Lee; veteran Natasha Poly; tiny-named, 15-year-old (!) Jac; and elegant Iris Strubegger. Of course, snagging both is quite the coup, particularly for [...]

It wouldn’t be fashion season without a tumble or two. The big spill to date happened today at Rodarte (those are the instructions given to the models at left), in front of VIP front row-ers Diane von Furstenberg, Elijah Wood, and Natalie Portman. While it’s always a little cringe-worthy when a girl takes a stumble [...]
