The Met's Costume Institute Gala: The Models
Last night's theme at the 2009 Costume Institute Gala was "The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion," an exploration of how models have inspired and projected fashions throughout recent years. Of course, my coverage of this event would not be complete without a gallery of models who walked the red carpet. (Here's why some big names didn't show up).
The Unsung Heroes of Fashion Week
Nail technicians, despite their increasing Fashion Week importance due to the increased interest in bags and shoes, are usually relegated to performing their jobs while the models get their hair and makeup done. But changing polish eight times a day can be a nightmare for both models and pros. Exhibit A: On the left is a photo of model Coco Rocha showing me her manicure from the Thakoon show.
A Few More Words With the Captivating Coco Rocha
I've been lucky enough to interview model Coco Rocha twice over the past four months. Our first encounter was back in February just before the Rag & Bone show. This time I had a few more personal questions to ask.
Model of the Week: Coco Rocha
In her four years of modeling, Coco Rocha has become one of the fashion world's most famous faces. Discovered while competing in an Irish-dance competition, the 5'9" beauty has walked countless fashion runways including those of Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, and Christian Dior.

Coco Rocha Spritzes Fiercely in Elle Campaign
One fragrance I've been meaning to check out is Yves Saint Laurent Elle, but after seeing the commercial for it, I'm expecting something completely different from the fresh, youthful scent I'd anticipated. Check this out:
This commercial is visually gripping, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song just adds to the cool factor. But I'm a little scared of Coco Rocha's fierceness.
Coming Soon: Yves Saint Laurent Elle
At the risk of sounding like Polly Perfumaniac, I've got even more fragrance news for you. Yves Saint Laurent is preparing a new fragrance called Elle.
WWD reports that this fragrance is meant for the younger YSL fan, and serves as a contrast between the fashion house's tradition and the modern, urban lifestyle.

Then and Now: "The Big Six" Models
Before the Coco Rochas and the Agyness Deyns of the modeling world, there were "The Big Six," a crop of supermodels who dominated all things hair, fashion, and makeup in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These days, actresses and pop stars often fill the positions left behind by these powerhouse models. So, let's take a trip down memory lane to see how much these six ladies have — and haven't — changed.
