• Jourdan Dunn, 19, has given birth to a baby boy with her boyfriend of five years. She memorably walked the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier at seven months. [Vogue UK]
• Gisele and Tom Brady might name their newborn son Gabriel. [P6]

• Last night at the British Fashion Awards, Karen Elson strolled on stage to present a prize — and promptly stepped right into an orchestra pit. She fell four feet. (Kind of like that one time she fell on the runway at Zac Posen, but worse.) She picked herself and got back on stage to say, "I am the clumsiest person on this earth. I cannot believe I just did that. That is the worst fall I have ever had. I might have broken a rib, but I'm fine." [Telegraph]
• For a play-by-play of the night, Elle's got you covered. [UK Elle]
• Dita von Teese: "I also used clothes as a way to counteract my extreme shyness when I was younger. I wore a lot of extravagant vintage hats, which can make people somewhat intimidated. I think people will only approach if they have something very, very interesting to say to the girl in the outrageous hat!" [People]
• Terrell Owens has signed with Wilhelmina Models to pursue endorsement contracts. [AP]
• Martin Margiela, whose departure from Maison Martin Margiela was finally confirmed yesterday, was spotted shopping for a home in Los Angeles. [Fashionologie]
• Vogue Brazil — long the poor relation in the Vogue family, with, if you can believe it, an even greater propensity for jumping model/white background editorials than the American pendant — convinced Alber Elbaz to guest-art direct a stunning cover, and a fashion story inside. The results are lovely. [MadeinBrazil]
• Burberry will again show its women's collection at London Fashion Week in February. Until the LFW 25th anniversary last September, the brand's regular venue of choice had been Milan. [WWD]
• Today in off-beat holiday gifts: The Marc Jacobs skate deck. It's Canadian maple, people! [FWD]
• Betsey Johnson, for her part, would be satisfied with "a hot new lover." [WWD]
• Perhaps better than Barneys' "Saturday Night Live" seasonal windows is this offering from Moschino. The holidays are a time we all wish we could be in therapy, apparently. [FabSugar]
• Jason Wu is moving his West 37th studio to a bigger space. "When I first moved in there I painted the walls myself, it was very personal, I was like 'this place is so big, I'm never going to outgrow it'. Then we outgrew it," says Wu. Since the recognition that designing Michelle Obama's inauguration ball gown brought, he has also increased his output to four collections a year — spring/summer, pre-fall, fall/winter, and resort. "We need four seasons a year to keep the store stocked," explains Wu. [Yahoo!]
• Douglas Hannant, who has not benefitted from Mrs. Obama's sartorial munificence, explained his earlier reported comment ("Michelle Obama is not the next Jackie O") thusly: "I did say 'Michelle Obama is not another Jackie Kennedy and I do not consider to be a style icon.' But in addition, I also said 'she has so much more to her and has mass appeal. I admire her as a role model and think she will achieve great things in her position as First Lady.' And by the way, I voted for Obama." [The Cut]
• In other political fashion news, Hillary Clinton presented Blake Mycoskie of Tom's Shoes with this year's Award for Corporate Excellence. For every pair of Tom's Shoes purchased, two more pairs are donated to needy children around the world. As Mycoskie said at a gala for an entirely different ACE award earlier this year, "Shoes, for 40 percent of the world, are not an accessory. They're a necessity." [Blackbook]
• Naturally, as gigantic arena rock-star fashion shows become the norm, since fashion shows are more about generating publicity than they are about selling to store buyers and editors, more brands are taking the next logical step: making their fashion shows public, on the Internet. [Time]
• Adidas is entering the performance outerwear market. Which is a fancy way of saying: They're gonna make some jackets. [BW]
• Despite the recession, Mulberry's sales rose 16% in the six months to September 30. Naturally the Daily Mail uses this as an opportunity to run a bunch of pictures of celebrities carrying Mulberry bags, and ponder the wastefulness of women. [Daily Mail]

• Apparently Thierry Mugler's doing Beyonce's tour costumes. This could go in one of two directions. [Style.com]

• Extremely awesome Luella Bartlet wins "Designer of the Year" at British Fashion Awards. "Bartley is the mother of three children and lives in Cornwall with her surfer-fashion photographer partner, David Sims." Other honorees included milliner Stephen Jones, Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey, and photog Tim Walker. [Telegraph]

The Good:

Erin O'Connor seriously takes our breath away and Thandie Newton is beautiful and pretty and lovely and every other synonym we can think of for those already used adjectives.

Lily Allen's dress may be a little too pink and a little too, uh, shredded? But it can't be denied that the girl looks good. Similarly, though we loathe smug ol' Horrible (H)Agyness Deyn, we do like the (sorta ridiculous) dress.

The Bad:

Even Daisy Lowe's outrageous beauty cannot save that dress. Also, is she wearing her scary tattoo tights over her shoes? Just us, or does Kimberley Stewart's dress look uneven, and not in an intentional, "artistic" sort of way? Also, too tight and a little ca. 1988?

To borrow a wonderful Michael Kors-ism, Kelly Osbourne's dress is a little M.O.B. and Dita von Teese needs to stick to the wasp waist: She's drowning in this gold sack!

The Ugly:

Vivienne Westwood needs no further comment.

• The rumors are true! Victoria Beckham is the face of Marc Jacobs' spring 2008 collection and has already been shot by Juergen Teller for her print ads. Fashionista says it means Posh is now "officially and undeniably cool." Others within the fashion community are, um, bound to disagree! But they disagreed when he showed up two and a half hours late for his New York show, and he still hasn't filed for Chapter 11, so... [Fashionista]
  
• Kirsten Dunst, meanwhile, has been selected to be the face of the Miu Miu spring collection. God, is Kirsten Dunst still passing as some sort of style icon? She makes Sienna Miller look interesting. [WWD, 1st item]
  
• And speaking of! Ashton Kutcher is ousting Sienna Miller as the face of Pepe Jeans. We're pretty sure this doesn't mean great things for Ashton's career, but it means good things for us! [WWD, 1st item]

• And Matthew McConaughey is set to be the new face of Dolce & Gabbana's new men's fragrance. Gay, anyone? [Fashion Week Daily]
• Whoah: French Vogue editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld was Tom Ford's muse when Ford was designing Gucci?! Yikes. [Sassybella]
• The poor, long-suffering Stella McCartney won designer of the year at the British Fashion Awards, which gives us some hope that there is a God, as she beat out "I'm Not A Plastic Bag" slag Anya Hindmarch for the title. No, nevermind, we take that back: Agyness Deyn took home model of the year and Hindmarch did win best designer brand. Marchesa (co-designed by Harvey Weinstein's special lady friend Georgina Chapman) won best red carpet label and Christopher Bailey won best menswear designer for Burberry. The totally insane Dame Vivienne Westwood won for outstanding achievement in fashion design, which we guess means that the voters just decided to pretend that her incoherent "manifesto" about the state of culture today never happened. [Vogue UK]
• The woman who brought us J Brand jeans is now moving into the world of dresses, launching a line of all-jersey dresses called Riller & Fount. They'll retail for between $100-$156, which we're pretty sure is still cheaper than a pair of fucking J Brand jeans. [WWD, sub req'd]
• The designers of the label Rodnik started a rock band. Also called Rodnik. And their first single just dropped in England. And Rei Kawakubo is throwing them a party to celebrate at the Commes des Garcons flagship store in London. Who wants to bet whoever DJs it will make more than Rodnik ever will for a gig? [Vogue UK]

• DesignerTory Burch is on the prowl! And just a few seconds shy of her ex Lance Armstrong. And we've got to hand it to the slinger of overpriced Upper East garb; she's dating both studio head Brad Grey and producer (and Katie Couric ex) Tom Werner. And all of them combined can't match the net worth of Lance's rebound, Ashley Olsen. Who, let us not forget, also designs clothing... and could be Tory Burch's daughter. Snap! [NY Post]
  
• Oh God: Tom Ford reportedly wants to direct an adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's novel As Single Man, which tells the story of a day in the life of a Hollywood gay. In other words, Tom Ford wants to make his directorial debut making a movie about Tom Ford. [WWD, 1st item]
  
• "The celebrity endorsement of pregnancy has made it a glamorous phenomenon." That's Fee Craig of the British maternity apparel website mama-la-mode.com. (Funny word to describe the act of perpetuating human existence, you know? "Endorsement"? Kinda dystopian even? And yet I'm pretty sure she said it without irony!) [WWD, sub req'd]
  
• Kimora Lee Simmons and Macy's are fighting; they're saying they overpaid for a shipment of her line of beauty products and she's saying "no backsies." [NYP]

• Caviar in a Yves Saint Laurent tin? Useful, right? And yours for only $556. [WWD, 3rd item]
• Karl Lagerfeld guest-edited France's Connaissance des Arts magazine. And then put himself on the cover. [WWD, 1st item]
• The British Fashion Awards are tonight. If Anya "I Am A Talentless Hack" Hindmarch wins for Designer of the Year, we will cry. [Vogue UK]
• So many Lanvin boutqiues, so little time. The fashion house will be opening 12 more shops in the next 12 months, with more stores already being planned for the next two years. This impacts us not at all. [Vogue UK]
• Donatella Versace made her first-ever "official" visit to Russia this weekend. Haven't the Russians been through enough??? [Fashion Week Daily]
• Maternity wear designer to the stars Liz Lange is pulling a Rachel Zoe/Victoria Beckham and is writing a pregnant woman's style tome. Really, what more do pregnant women need to know other than, "BTW, your body is going to totally change" and "If you think this sucks, wait till your entire wardrobe is caked in vomit"? [NY Post]
