>> The latest Fall 2011 campaign scuttlebutt: Isabeli Fontana is taking the early lead, with campaigns for Escada and Donna Karan booked, and a rumored appearance for Bottega Veneta as well. Karan's campaign, which was captured by Patrick Demarchelier the past three seasons, was snapped by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Fall 2011.

Meanwhile, Steven Meisel shot (and Karl Templer styled) the Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton campaign in New York yesterday — but there will reportedly be no Kate Moss appearance as there was on the runway. In fact, no supermodels will be featured at all: Instead, the six models chosen are said to be from the current generation — "Top 50-ish, a bit new. Nothing from the Icon list." Daphne Groeneveld and Fei Fei Sun are rumored to be among them.

Kate Moss has reportedly been cast for another Fall 2011 campaign for Mango; however, it will be shot by Terry Richardson and is today, making lots of appearances on his blog.

Versace, like Donna Karan, is also switching up photographers — after going with Mario Testino for the past eight seasons, Donatella Versace has chosen Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to do the Fall 2011 honors (with styling by Joe McKenna). Originally, the Versace campaign, like Vuitton, was reportedly supposed to feature six models, including Candice Swanepoel and Groeneveld, but the photographers are rumored to have settled instead on one girl with "short dark hair" who is a "cover star." Some are thinking that might indicate Saskia de Brauw as Versace's new girl.

To round out the Fall 2011 campaign placements so far, Juergen Teller shot Irina Kulikova yesterday for Moschino at Turin's Ristorante del Cambio, Ralph Lauren has reportedly cast its runway opener Sui He, and Liu Wen is rumored to be in the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana campaign.

All of Fall's ad campaigns are trickling in and prepping us for the upcoming season. Here is another bunch to jot in your memory. This first action-packed one is by Bottega Veneta. It's dark, sexy, and entirely different from Fall '09. Enter for Fall imagery by G-Star Raw, Hermes, Valentino, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and more.

Just when we thought we've hit the Spring slump, Cruise collections come in to save us. The most recent onslaught comes in from Bottega Veneta, M Missoni, Moschino Cheap & Chic, DKNY, Elie Tahari, and Escada. While each collection sings its own tune, they all encompass one stunning commonality: boldness. We're completely in lust with Bottega Veneta's lush and sporty leather options and Escada's keen sense of styling. Keep clicking for more cunning Cruise collections.
