Will Kate Moss Be in Louis Vuitton's Fall 2011 Ad Campaign? Plus, More Casting Rumors

>> 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.

Moschino is known for its quirky girlishness, and we absolutely loved the mix of polka dots and stripes on Moschino's Spring runway. How could mixing two prints look so fresh and crisp? Mostly by sticking to a primary palette of black, red, white, and blue. The feminine silhouettes conjure up visions of a young Brigitte Bardot looking flirty on the French seaside. We put together some outfits, like a retro tankini ($20) and floaty red skirt ($70), or a silky polka-dot dress ($310) under a sharp striped jacket ($94). Add a pair of espadrilles et voilà, you're done. Click items to buy.

Moschino is always celebrated for its cheeky chic fashions, and the Fall 2011 runway proved no exception to the rule. The show was a healthy mix of bold, menswear-inspired suits topped off with old-time conductor hats and ladylike ensembles accented with evening gloves or streams of pearls. Highlights included a gold lamé maxi skirt and navy sweater combo and a stunning fur-trimmed metallic evening coat. To see all the wonderfully festive looks, watch our runway coverage now!

Fall 2011 Milan Fashion Week: Moschino

Last season, Moschino gave us its irreverent take on the wild west; for Fall, it's all about the pomp and circumstance of military uniforms circa the Napoleonic era. Now mix that with tuxedo detailing, little black dresses, lamé, and pearls, and you have a typically cheeky Moschino show. Double-breasted jackets were threaded through with gold, which to modern eyes could pass for an old military reference or the costumes at band camp. More wearable were the tuxedos, with cropped pant silhouettes and sharply tailored jackets. Downright covetable were the little black dresses, one with ruffle detail. The most amusing part of the show? Coco Rocha strutting down the catwalk wearing a chicken hat.

  • Trends: Tuxedo, military, menswear, LBDs, lamé, floral prints.
  • Colors: Red, black, cream, white, gold, navy.
  • Key Looks: The sophisticated little black dresses and the gold tuxedo.
  • Accessories: Military caps, pearls, big gold jewelry, lace-up booties.
  • Who Would Wear It: Women who like to play dress-up or want to play with a certain theme.

>> Pre-Fall 2011 collections have been rolling out, with focus squarely on the clothes.

With heavy rainfall on the horizon, protect your feet in a pair of tasteful rainboots like this buckled creation from Burberry, ($250). We love the equestrian-inspired details, and the streamlined shape leaves room to add extra oomph to your ensemble. Peep these two ways to wear it: emulate a western look in this Proenza Schouler checkered shirtdress layered under a nubby wool coat by 3.1 Phillip Lim, or get cozy in a fuzzy red sweater by Rugby paired with Edun cropped tweed pants and a Moschino peacoat.

Blush on the Side Trend From 2011 Fashion Week

Trend Alert: Color on the Sides

Spring may bring a daring trend: bold, contoured color on the side of the cheeks, eyes, and/or temples.

Spring may bring a daring trend: bold, contoured color on the side of the cheeks, eyes, and/or temples. During the past few weeks, we've seen Christian Siriano deck his models out with tawny blush on the temples and sides of the cheeks or eyes in New York, a similar look from Moschino in Milan and a more avant-garde take on the technique from Jean-Pierre Braganza in London, whose models donned a bright pink hue near the outer part of their eyes. When done in flattering tones and a light hand, I could actually see this look taking off. What about you? Is it a trend you'd try, or will you pass on this one?
