Filed under: Apparel


Things are certainly going well for Mick Jagger's model daughter Georgia May Jagger as we first predicted back in the summer of 2008. Of course with a Rolling Stone for a dad and Jerry Hall for a mom what else would one expect for the 17-year-old stunner? In September we noted she had landed a sexy new ad campaign for Hudson Jeans; now she has made the cover of British Vogue and been named the new face of Versace. Jagger has just been photographed for the ad campaign by Mario Testino. "She's smart, beautiful, full of energy and has a strong personality [with] that natural high star quality. I adore her," Donatella Versace told WWD. "She's perfect for this collection - a real Versace girl."

Welcome to the second installment of our new feature, "10 Luxuries", wherein a notable figure in the world of luxury, tastemaker or stylish personality tells about the 10 necessary luxuries they simply cannot do without. Related quotes and images of each item can be found in the gallery.


World-class professional polo champion Ignacio "Nacho" Figueras is the face of The World of Polo. Already the face of Polo Black, Nacho was recently chosen to represent all of Ralph Lauren's Polo fragrances, including Polo Modern Reserve and Polo Blue, in print and advertising campaigns because he embodies the many facets of today's modern Polo man. Born in Argentina in 1977, Nacho developed a love for horses and the game of polo by the age of nine. By the time he was 17, Figueras began his professional polo career. Nacho's name has become so synonymous with the sport of polo that the American Museum of Natural History looked to Figueras to donate his polo equipment to their 2008-2009 exhibit, "The Horse", and he has been matched against England's Prince William and Prince Harry in the UK's Sandhurst Tournament.

Figueras, who divides his time between the United States and Argentina, is currently playing for Neil Hirsch's Black Watch Polo team in Bridgehampton, New York in the summer and in Palm Beach, Florida during the winter season. He returns to his ranch in Argentina for the spring and fall. Off the field, Nacho's natural charisma made him the face of Ralph Lauren Black Label clothing and the Polo Black fragrance in 2005. In 2007, Polo Ralph Lauren began sponsoring his Black Watch team and debuted a line of Black Watch clothing. "Nacho personifies The World of Polo by living the lifestyle represented by each of the fragrances," says Guillaume de Lesquen, President, Worldwide, Ralph Lauren Fragrances. "When he isn't playing polo in the world's most prestigious tournaments and promoting its heritage as an ambassador, he is sailing with his young family off the coast of Punta del Este, Uruguay and breeding horses on his ranch outside of Buenos Aires."

Meet Anderson Cooper's Secret Weapon

Filed under: Celebrity Shopping, Sports

tj johnsonCNN 360° host Anderson Cooper has been getting a lot of attention lately for his buff physique (check out this video on TMZ.com). While it may seem like a sudden transformation, in fact Cooper's muscles are the result of two years of workouts with a personal trainer, Thelonious "T.J." Johnson (right).

In addition to getting Cooper and other high-profile clients in shape, Johnson is also an actor and model, with appearances in Vogue Italia, Details, and the cover of Maximum Fitness. His acting credits include roles on Law & Order: Criminal Intent and All My Children.

Johnson, a New York native whose jazz musician father named him after the great Thelonious Monk, was also picked as one of 2008's Most Eligible Bachelors by Extra. He customizes his training sessions to fit the needs and goals of each individual client.

An extreme sports enthusiast, he also specializes in extreme outdoor training, providing fitness sessions that feature mountain-biking, hiking, "tough man" workouts and boot camps. Citing confidentiality he declines to say exactly how he got Cooper so cut, but the results speak for themselves.

Donald Finally Mixes Business With Pleasure In The Trump Model Agency

Filed under: Services


Donald Trump needs no introduction, nor does his penchant for models. Ironically enough, he has now started his own model agency (Trump Model Management). While it isn't know how much of the daily operation of the business he will oversee, I can easily see him sitting in on some of the interviews and model submissions. The agency will add the Trump luxe touch to the hiring out of high-achievement models. The high distinction ladies have the regular array of "miss this, and miss that" titles ensuring that your $2,000 - $20,000 a day fee is (arguably) well spent. Tips are of course extra.

What you do with the models is then up to you I am sure. The Trump Model Agency has enlisted a star list of model managers to help book gigs for the growing list of international faces on the company ledger. If you are a model or want to submit someone you better be up to snuff. Oh, and they will have to be between 14 and 20 years old and at least 5'8 in height. Get em young, eh Trump?

Lindsay Snags Miu Miu Contract

Filed under: Apparel, Celebrity Shopping

After Lindsay Lohan tried and tried to get herself a modeling contract with a major fashion house earlier this year, starting with Louis Vuitton and then Versace. It didn't quite work out at the time, but Lindsay has finally gotten lucky. She was just signed to be the new face of Miu Miu for their spring 2007 ad campaign. In the past, the fashion house has used Kim Basinger, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Drew Barrymore and Chloë Sevigny, as well as several Chinese actresses and Japanese model Lina Ohta. Whether this will be a one-off for the starlet, or will lead to more contracts, remains to be seen.

Mouawad Heidi Klum Collection

Filed under: Jewelry

Heidi Klum may have her name on a line of Birkenstocks, but she isn't completely giving up glamour for hippie-chic. She also has a line of fine jewelry with Mouawad, inspired by a clover symbol that she first saw at the Duomo in Milan, which she found to be elegant and timeless - the perfect symbol for a line of jewelry. The Heidi Klum Collection includes earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets that all feature the signature clover pattern and range from simple sterling silver pieces to elaborate white gold and diamond creations. There is a full list of the stores that carry the line on Heidi's website.

Million Crystal Body

Filed under: Auctions

It takes one million Swarovski crystals to completely cover the human body - assuming that the body you want to cover is that of a 20-year old model named Chantal. Million Crystal Body is an auction organized by eBay specialist Marion von Kuczkowski in which the million 2-mm crystals covering Chantal are sold for €1 each. As more of Chantal is revealed, her photos will be updated on the website.

Some might call this a global art project and some might call it something else, but it certainly is an interesting idea. The last stones in the auction will not be sold at the fixed €1 price, but will be auctioned via eBay. The proceeds of those final bids will go to an as-yet-unnamed charity. The person who wins the last crystal will have it personally delivered anywhere in the world by Chantal herself.

Mischa Barton for BeBe

Filed under: Apparel

 Julia Roberts and Lindsay Lohan may be having some difficulty in getting picked up by designers for fashion campaigns, other actresses aren't facing the same dilema. She will be the face of BeBe in their new ads. Though Barton's image isn't squeky clean from her work on the OC, the ads are still on the edgy side, showing the young actress dominating some rather scantily clad men - while wearing BeBe designs, of course.
