Welcome To Vogue, The Reality Show

  • Vogue is launching a reality TV show. Okay, online, but still. "The show, called Model.Live, tracks three models as they navigate casting calls, catwalks and airports for fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan and Paris" reports the Wall Street Journal. The three protagonists are described variously as "kooky", "polished and sophisticated," and "the sweet, new kid." All, presumably, are children and have BMIs in the single digits. For all their excitement about this brave new venture, apparently Vogue has concerns about exposing the seamier side of fashion: "controversial behavior like smoking or drinking." I'm guessing they'll be thrilled if that's as "controversial" as the behavior gets. [WSJ]
  • Rachel Zoe is launching a perfume, along with her reality series. “This scent will really reflect her personal style and hopefully finally brand her" says a source. Eau de Raisin, anyone? [Fashion Week Daily]
  • La Zoe is also rumored to be O-U-T out as creative consultant at Halston. [ElleUK]

Tim Gunn, Political Strategist?

  • Project Runway's silver fox considers the difficult task of making John McCain work: "That’s a challenge," Tim Gunn says. "Give him some color. I'd give him better-fitting suits — Hugo Boss, John Varvatos. I mean, I will say, he's a man of a certain age, so at least he's cleaned up and polished." In other news, he hates L.A.'s car culture - though, as we all know, he enjoys tooling around the Cloisters in his Saturn Sky Roadster. [New York Magazine]

    Artsy-Fartsy: Trash Bags At Whitney Young Contemporaries Party

    According to their website, "The Whitney Contemporaries is a dynamic group of art patrons between the ages of twenty-one and forty, committed to supporting the Whitney [Museum]'s mission of championing emerging voices and artistic innovation. Contemporaries are guaranteed exclusive access to the Whitney’s unparalleled resources and the New York art scene." Apparently this translates to the MisShapes and various women in trash bags. And no, it doesn't come cheap. Anyway, they congregated last night at Skylight in New York. Watch the usual suspects (Rachel Zoe, Rachel Bilson, Michelle Trachtenberg and Joy Bryant, among others) suffer for their art, after the jump!

    Memo To Allure: Rachel Zoe Is Not Alluring

    Allure magazine is the most confusing of all the American ladymags. Is it a beauty magazine? A fashion magazine? Both? Do people really still buy it? But what's even more confusing was the guest list for last night's NYC event celebrating the "Most Alluring Bodies": those of Hilary Duff, Katherine McPhee, Paula Patton, Carey Lowell, Olivia Palmero and Rachel Zoe. All these ladies and a few more (like Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler!) in the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly, after the jump. More »

    • Who knew Roberto Cavalli was such a big Diddy fan? Said the Italian designer at the Sean John show: "The only reason I'm still in New York is for Puffy. He is an artist and always puts on a real show. Maybe someday he will come to my show." [WWD, 7th item]

    Madonna Makes The Stars Shine For Malawi

    Madonna and Gucci teamed forces last night to raise awareness (and money) for UNICEF's efforts to aid Malawi, the African country beset, like many, from epidemics of AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. (It is also the nation where Madonna's adopted son David was born.) But onto the clothes! Maybe it's because red carpet regulars were deprived of all their usual awards shows, but they really packed a punch last night. Sure Madonna and little Lourdes looked sweet and polished, but Becki Newton's dress made my heart skip a beat and Ellen Pompeo turned from a fashion don't into a fashion do literally overnight. (As for Rachel Zoe? She looked more terrifying than usual in hot pink.) The good, the bad, and the ugly, after the jump. More »
