• Jessica White is featured in Maybelline‘s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week campaign. Stunning as usual. (Beauty is Diverse)
• A Project Runway spinoff is filming. The Lifetime network and the Harvey Weinstein Co. threw a party for “Project Accessory,” which designer Rachel Roy attended to see and judge contestants’ work. The party will be featured on the show! Will you be watching? (Page Six)
• Like a good Parisienne, former Vogue Paris Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld is suffering from acute ennui. In her biography, Irreverent, slated to release next month, she expresses just how over the fashion right now: “Fashion isn’t as much fun as it once was. It’s less light-hearted, less spontaneous. Fashion has become an industry, one that increasingly stifles creation. Sometimes I go to runway shows and I feel like I am at a medical convention, or a corporate seminar. There’s no excitement anymore, no amazement, none of the madness you could experience even a few years back … I respect this business, and I understand the risks involved, but I also want to preserve a degree of naivete and spontaneity. Because fashion is nothing without its carefree side.” (The Cut)
• Just for Fashion’s Night Out, Miu Miu is selling mini versions of their Fall 2011 handbags. They make for chic little coin purses, no? If you’d like to get your hands on one, stop by their store at 57th street bet. Madison and 5th aves. The minibags will also be available at their boutiques in London, Milan, and Los Angeles.

Kinee Diouf (if she’s the one in the middle) is absolutely GORGEOUS! The other two women (who are twins, no?) are beautiful, but homegirl is breathtaking. Flawless face and skin…I can see why Iman chose her for the fall campaign.

I agree that the middle model is so beautiful! I’m sure they’ve airbrushed the girls but they are stunning nonetheless!

Oh and that purse kinda looks like a hairy spider. O.o

Not feeling the Iman Cosmetics ad, it looks very antiquated.

carine is annoying and out of touch. when wasn’t the fashion industry and an “industry” and a business. i think the only reason she’s over it now that she’s not in it to the same extent. ::eyeroll::
