>> This month, LeBron James becomes the third man ever to appear on a Voguecover, following in the footsteps of George Clooney (June 2000) andRichard Gere (November 1992). The most recent two covers havesomething even more striking in common . . . Gisele Bundchen appears onboth.

I guess when you have a formula that works, you stick with it �" all three covers pair man with supermodel (Richard Gere appeared with then-girlfriend Cindy Crawford), and all ...

>> Jourdan Dunn walked the Prada catwalk earlier today. The last photographic evidence I can find online of a woman of color walking in a Prada show is over ten years ago: Naomi Campbell in the Fall 1997 season. Wow, it's been a while.

Naomi was in the Prada print ads along with Christy Turlington back in 1994 . . . maybe it's time for Sasha to have a new partner?

>> Although Sasha Pivovarova only walked in one show �" Anna Sui �" last week, she had another, more personal show on her mind.

The fitted jacket with skinny black lapels, the stiff brocade material, the black belt with gold embellished buckle, the cropped fitted pants . . . they're all very similar to my eye.

>> She's been a brunette, and a blonde, but now Julia Dunstall has pulled a reverse-Stam on us, and gone from blonde to red. The new color first showed up at Miss Sixty a couple of days ago, and it's not just a one-show fluke �" it's since been spotted at Thakoon and Karen Walker. The brilliant shade definitely gives her an edge; I'll be glad to see an auburn head bobbing along among the sea of less vivid hair ...

>> At Rodarte, Laura and Kate Mulleavy riffed on "Japanese horror films" with agressively studded Louboutin shoes, deathly pale faces, and plenty of blood red.

I admit, before seeing Rodarte in motion �" and in person �" I was a little confused about the hype surrounding the label. But after seeing the loosely-woven tights, the angora dresses, the punky sugar plum fairies zig zag past, I am converted.
Not many designers can take two such contrasting ...
