I am lusting over Dree Hemingway! She looked absolutely gorgeous in that champagne and neon body-hugging mini by Valentino Couture at the Thursday's amfAR gala. The dress, the effortless hair and the heels are made in heaven! Love it!

Aboriginal Model: Samantha Harris

Her name is Samantha Harris. She is aboriginal and she lives in Australia. But I just can't understand why this girl will only walk for no less than 18 designers during Australian Fashion week. Racism? I love her face!

Marc Jacobs Gets Naked To Debut BANG

Marc Jacobs launched his latest venture for men, Bang and he gets naked for his ads...

According to WWD, Jacobs blames the racy ad on his business parter Robert Duffy.

“Robert and I work closely with Coty on these projects, and he said, ‘Marc, you look so great now — you should be the model for men’s fragrance.’ My immediate reaction was, I don’t know. But then I came to see that it made sense. Men’s fragrance, unlike women’s in a certain way, is very personal. It’s a layer on top of skin — for women, it can be like changing a makeup color, but not for men.”

As for the ad itself, Jacobs credits photographer Juergen Teller for the vision.

“Once I agreed to be the model, I couldn’t see what I would wear to express this. We tried it with clothes, but it didn’t work. Then Juergen [Teller, who shot the campaign] had the idea for the silver Mylar, and it all came together. The silver Mylar also gives it that flash, that bang.”

And in case you were wondering, Jacobs and the team at Coty have also shot a couple less salacious campaigns for the midwestern states and Middle East.
