Arizona Muse

>> The Fall 2011 campaign parade continues: Arizona Muse was on set for Alberta Ferretti yesterday, as were Valentina Zeliaeva and Magdalena Frackowiak for Ralph Lauren (left).

Raquel Zimmermann recently confirmed: "I'll be in the Lanvin campaign which was shot by photographer Steven Meisel, but I can not describe how it was, total secrecy until the campaign out!" And Roberto Cavalli is reportedly employing Natasha Poly, Mariacarla Boscono, and Karen Elson to be shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott and styled by Panos Yiapanis.

After Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted leaving Coach headquarters recently with Reed Krakoff, meanwhile, rumors have been fanned that the actress might be a new face for either Coach or Krakoff's Coach-funded eponymous label.

Photos from the Ferretti and Ralph Lauren shoots in the gallery.

Freja Beha Erichsen alone would have made for a stunning story, but add It-model-of-the-moment Arizona Muse, put Karl Lagerfeld behind the lens, and you have one killer story. It's a gender-bender at that, with Freja looking just as dapper in men's clothes. Click through to see the gorgeous pics.

>> Paris Fashion Week kicked off with some amazing street style; while it hasn't been as colorful as Milan's offering, the City of Love offered up a bevy of chic outfits dipped in neutral hues and sleek prints. Abbey Lee Kershaw and Arizona Muse look like they're having a ball between shows! More inspiring street style in the slideshow.

Abbey Lee Kershaw opened Versace Fall wearing a sharp military coat, like the sexy blond captain of an army of equally sexy soldiers, who marched down the runway in meticulously tailored dresses and coats. The clothes were cut tight to the body and bore geometric cutouts, subtly adorned with military-inspired gold buttons and pockets. Leather made an appearance in full leather skirts with matching leather jackets, a cool mix of badass uniform and chic sophistication. Behind the scenes, it's Donatella who is the real general at Camp Versace, drilling home Italian sexiness. It was a show heavy in black, but Versace's signature colors — turquoise and purple — popped up in an oversized baroque print and two-toned suede lace-up booties. For the finale, things got a bit more celebratory, with flowy gowns bearing thigh-high slits similar to Gucci, and Arizona Muse closing triumphantly in a white beaded gown.

• Trends: Military, cutouts, leather, colored fur.
• Colors: Black, white, purple, turquoise, blue.
• Key Looks: A v-neck shell dress with baroque print, blue fur, and booties.
• Accessories: Calf-high suede open-toe booties, some lace-up; bucket bags.
• Who Would Wear It: Women who appreciate sharp tailoring, and a little toughness mixed in with allure.

>> For the second Fall season in a row, the Rag & Bone boys have created a lot of want in the ten some-odd minutes it takes for their run of show. The futuristic bent that was introduced in their Spring 2011 collection stayed, but this time worked its way into a number of the Rag & Bone staples — cropped fitted jackets, kilts, knee socks, and cape coats. This was mashed together with a newfound fascination with texture: cow hides, nubby knits, neoprenes, shearlings, wools, and fringes were all represented.

As Marcus Wainwright noted backstage, "It started with Inuit people — the indigenous people of the Arctic circle — and on the other side of it, there was a French skiier called Jean-Claude Killy — so '70s ski — and it just went from there." As for the brilliant blue that was used so liberally in the second half of the show — where did that come from? "In looking at all of these pictures of the Arctic and the snow and the sky bounced against it," Wainwright explained, "that unbelievable blue — Klein Blue — that kind of blue of the sky, was just amazing against the ivory and the grey of the beginning [of the show]. It's a fun color."

The cool Rag & Bone girl was well-accounted-for as usual, both front row (Erin Wasson, Jessica Stam, and Alexa Chung), and on the catwalk (Bette Franke, making a runway return after taking a season off, Arizona Muse, Joan Smalls, Fei Fei Sun, Saskia de Brauw, and Britt Maren). Boots tended to be thigh-high and low-heeled. As for the clutches, which were strapped to the models' hands by glove-like contraptions, leaving their fingers free — would those be put into production? "It may well do if people like them," Wainwright answered. "I don't know. We just did it just for the show, we always do those things ourselves, but yeah, probably." He and Neville had both cracked open Peroni beers immediately post-show, while their children ran around backstage. So what's the plan now that the show is finished? "I have had one beer," Wainwright replied. "I'm going to have a few more. I feel pretty good about it. I was excited about the music [done by Thom Yorke], and it's good."

>> We met Miranda Kerr's new son, Flynn, earlier today, and now there's opportunity to meet another model's son, thanks to Vogue, which loves to capture models with their children. The latest case is new Anna Wintour favorite, 22-year-old Arizona Muse, who is joined in her 14 page only-girl spread, shot by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue's February 2011 issue, by her 19-month-old son, Nikko. They share a Brooklyn apartment with Muse's live-in nanny. The full editorial, here.
