Editorial of the Week

GET WAISTED with Carmen Kass

There are pieces in here that the modern working woman can incorporate into her wardrobe and even the casual fashion-loving maven can wear. A full, high-waisted skirt is one of the easiest way to look chic and tailored (oftentimes tailoring requires actually getting a piece tailored, funny as it may seem...) Tell me what you think!

Challenge... The Final Three

It's down to the final three, all of whom are either establish or up-and-coming models, which means they all have at least one magazine cover under their belt. Commercial is too easy - we're demanding an avant garde cover!

I love that it looks like a painting... don't forget to click it to enlarge it - trust me it looks even better enlarged.

Challenge... Oops! I Did It Again - a Britney Slip

Along with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty, and Michael Jackson, Britney Spears is one of the worlds favourite train wrecks. Lately she's gotten back to her old self, and seems to be doing quite well, but I decided that an homage to crazy-bald-umbrella swingin' Britney would be fun to contrast with "Circus" Britney. Hopefully, you'll be saying "Gimme More" after seeing these pics!

Eliminated last post: No one! Surprise non-elimination :)

Here are our "Mannequin"'s (in order):

Lara Stone - "Unusual You"
