Past celebrity faces have included Katie Holmes, Kirsten Dunst, Lindsay Lohan. Steinfeld's ads will first appear in August. [TDB, Telegraph] More »

Here are five plus-size models we think are ripe for mainstream success. We'd love to see any one of them on the runway this fashion week. More »

Jenna Sauers — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 12:00:00 EDT

Miu Miu is supposed to be Prada-lite, Prada...

Jennifer — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 13:45:00 EDT

Miu Miu is supposed to be Prada-lite, Prada for the poor folk. In reality, it costs about the same as its big-sister label, but its design aesthetic? Decidedly different. While Prada is known for being anti-sexy and "intellectual" (because, uh, brains and beauty are mutually exclusive?), Miu Miu is a little more, well, slutty. But in a fun and playful way! This season's collection has a Lolita-like sensibility, with no-way-in-hell-can-you-sit-in-that short skirts and teeny tiny little bloomers underneath poofy, tiny confections. Little girl sizes on womanly bodies with red red lipstick? Humbert Humbert: Prepare yourself. Gallery begins below. (All images via AP) More »
