Fab Flash: Designers Choose Their Fall '09 Faces
UPDATE: Jennifer Connelly has once again been chosen by Nicolas Ghesquière to represent Balenciaga. Meanwhile, Stefano Pilati picked Christy Turlington to star in his Yves Saint Laurent campaign.

FABTV: Justice, "D.A.N.C.E"
Concert season seems to have already started, and I for one am stoked. There's nothing groovier than attending a live music show with some buddies and getting down. This song by French duo Justice has been around the world by now — I first heard it last Summer at the famous Boombox in London.
