In 2009, Victoria’s Secret launched a nationwide competition to seek out their newest Angel. Out of 10,000 real-girl applicants, all voted upon by fans online, only one emerged victorious: the then-19-year-old Kylie Bisutti, a newlywed Californian who then walked in the annual show alongside the established Angels. To most aspiring models, this would be a dream come true … but Kylie says otherwise. Now, after two years at the receiving end of a VS salary, she’s decided that lingerie modeling is against her Christian values, and violates the terms of her marriage. Keep reading »

Modesty and modeling — two seemingly diametrically opposed concepts. But the founders of the cheekily titled Muslim modeling agency Underwraps are hoping to somehow marry the two. The first modeling agency of its kind, Underwraps aims to create “a fusion of Inclusion—creating the best of both worlds.”

Once upon a time, Katie Halchishick was pulling in six figures a year as a plus-size model. Then she experienced a strange paradox of the modeling world firsthand: she lost weight, and her contracts vanished. Agencies told her that in order to find work she’d either need to gain the weight back to pursue plus-size gigs, or lose more weight to pursue a traditional modeling career. Turns out the modeling industry, known for valuing thinness above all else, does acknowledge a plus-size modeling market, but the sizes in between 4 and 10? In the modeling world, they don’t exist. Now Halchishick is out to change that. She’s started her own agency, Natural Model Management, representing models of previously ignored sizes and “encouraging models to find a healthy balance in life and in their bodies.” We wish Halchishick well in her new endeavor and hope the idea catches on. More diversity in the modeling world is always a good thing, because, as we all know, “natural” bodies come in many shapes and sizes. [via Fashionista]

There are normal fashion shows, and then there are fashion shows where a model lights a barbecue in the middle of the runway. As you can see, the Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov couture show in Paris this week was the latter.

12 High-Fashion Nipple Moments At Paris Couture Week

The French are a kinky bunch of folks that don’t really have the kind of hangups about nakedness that, say, Americans do. So it should be expected that a nip slip at Paris Couture Week is not only expected, but built right into the garments themselves. See, couture clothing isn’t so much about covering the body as it is using the body to enhance the glorious fabrics and construction. A bare nipple is about as essential to a Zahia Dehar or Julien Fournie design as the needle and thread that wove it. Here are 12 high-fashion nipple moments (so far) from Paris Couture Week. It is NSFW — unless, of course, you live in France and wear see-through shirts to board meetings.

Last night, Tiffany’s held a party hosted by photographers Scott Schuman and Garance Dore. The party was DJed by Beyonce’s little sister Solange. So far, sounds like every other semi-famous people party, right? Well, except that the PR company that put on the event — some company called Epic Group — was apparently a mite bit concerned that the soiree would be too packed. So, the day of the party, they sent out the following missive…

Model Injured By Plane Propeller Seen Out With Family

Rachel KrauseJanuary 19, 2012 //

Last month we wrote about Lauren Scruggs, the 23-year-old model and fashion blogger who lost her left hand and eye in a freak incident with the propeller of a small airplane. It’s only been six weeks since her horrific accident, but a few days ago, Lauren was seen being dropped off at a Dallas rehabilitation center — and she looks great. Sporting an eye patch and a baseball cap pulled down to cover her face, Lauren was photographed walking and talking with her family. After being in intensive therapy to relearn the basic capabilities that are too easy to take for granted, Lauren has made a tremendous amount of progress and is on her way to recovery.

Move over Hailee Steinfeld, there’s a new face of Miu Miu, and it’s fellow actress Mia Wasikowska. Miss Mia is an ancient 22, compared to Hailee’s wee 14, but judging from the first campaign images coming out of Miu Miu, she’s more than up for the job. I’m really digging the glossy, studio-lit shots — mostly because they’re a great way to actually see the clothes — which are completely and utterly stunning, by the way. Anybody got a spare few thousand they’d like to give me to spend on Miu Miu? And check out another shot after the jump, where she bears a striking resemblance to Kate Moss.
