Though you may know Kirsty Hume for her long, healthy blonde locks, get ready to see her in a whole new way, because Agent Provocateur chose the flaxen haired model to star in their latest campaign - flame orange wig and all.

For the Autumn/Winter 2010 campaign, Kirsty stars as Betty Sue, boldly showing off the lingerie brand’s latest offerings while taking inspiration from female protagonists from late 20th century films. Agent Provocateur’s Creative Director, Sarah Shotton, explains the Kirsty appeal, saying, “Kirsty became a top model in the 1990s. She represents our perfect woman, a woman with a family that oozes unbelievable intelligence, sensuality, personality and confidence. She has a film noir, feline quality to her that I felt had a brilliant synergy with Agent Provocateur.”

It goes without saying that Kirsty’s beyond stunning and captivating in her latest campaign, but we’d suggest waiting until you’re home to watch this video, as she oozes the Agent Provocateur appeal.

Heidi Klum hardly needs props and elaborate makeup to create a breathtaking cover, but when you add soft old Hollywood curls and a gold suit to the supermodel’s skill, magic ensues.

For the the September 2010 issue of City magazine, Heidi worked with Rankin to channel actress and singer Marlene Dietrich - mixing their common German heritage with the supermodel’s posing power to embody the spirit and appearance of the performer. With the talent of makeup artist, Linda Hay, who hid Heidi’s eyebrows in order to replicate Marlene’s and the relationship between model and photographer, a 24-carat cover was created -  welcoming the world to a gilded fall.

The countdown to New York Fashion Week is on, but before the shows, events, and parties can begin, Modelinia and Nine West are bringing you a bit of the behind the scenes action.

As you know, top models including Coco Rocha, Jessica White, Michelle Alves, and Lisalla Montenegro will be stomping all around town in Nine West’s latest creation during Fashion Week - a boot which has a pedometer that tracks each and every step they take! For every mile of steps accumulated  by the models, Nine West will make a monetary donation to Fashion Targets Breast Cancer as part of the Nine West Runway Relief program.

To kick off the initiative, the models and master photographer Nigel Barker are taking over NYC’s Meatpacking District today for a photoshoot to promote the charitable initiative. Coco, Michelle, and Jessica will be joined by models including Hannah Holman, Iekeliene Stange, Anna Selezneva, Gracie Carvalho, and Lyndsey Scott - and we’re inviting you too!

If you’re in New York, Modelinia invites you to head down to watch all the action, but if you’re stuck at work or not in the city, never fear! Tune into Modelinia’s Facebook page at 2:30 PM EST to watch the Livestream, which will include live interviews with models and a sneak peek into the photoshoot!

When we heard the news that Kate Moss and Sir Philip Green plan to alter the supermodel’s regular collections for Topshop, we were a little sad.

But amidst the paring back of her designs, there’s a hidden silver fashion lining. Kate’s still going to be designing capsule collections amounting to 12-15 pieces a few times a year, and Topshop’s planning a little something extra to celebrate her fashion sensibility.

Season after season, there are a few highly covetable pieces - obviously the pieces that Kate personally wears - which are impossible to purchase because everyone’s desperate to snatch up a bit of the supermodel’s personal style. Clearly Topshop’s realized this and with their farewell to Kate’s regular collections, comes a revival of her most favored pieces from the first collection, as well as “special, numbered pieces.” We reminisced on the vast items she designed for Topshop and come up with our wish list. What Kate Moss for Topshop pieces do you hope make the list?
