Madonna's Secret to Looking Good, New Vogue Rumors
• Madonna's "secret weapon" to looking good, at least according to her longtime makeup artist? Her eyelids are dusted with "a mixture of white shadow and flawless, crushed rose-cut diamonds." Certainly sounds expensive! [SW]
• Is Vogue about to undergo a makeover with "a new circle of models" and "an influx of fresh, young photographers"? One blogger says yes; the magazine, however, says no. [Cut]
• Rachel Roy is partnering with Estelle to create a jewelry line. [WWD]
• Coach president Reed Krakoff has confirmed plans to launch an eponymous "lifestyle brand" for the company, as rumored. [FWD]
• The CFDA met today to "fix the fashion show system." Good luck! [Cut, F'gie]
• Celebrity launches du jour: Eva Mendes is debuting a second home decor collection for Macy's; and Jessica Simpson is launching a new perfume for fall.
• Bravo's latest attempt to replace Project Runway (and make up for the non-success of The Fashion Show): a new series called Launch My Line. [Cut]
• A few fashion recommendations for the—count 'em!—three Vogue models (Gisele, Karolina, and Jourdan Dunn) currently expecting. [Vogue]
• One procedure you should definitely not add to to your plastic surgery to-do list: cosmetic "leg lengthening." But feel free to decide for yourself. [WSJ]
• Until recently, Dasha Zhukova "was just another wealthy Russian girl schlepping a croc Birkin around London in a chauffeured Mercedes." Now? She's a star ("paparazzi run after her in New York"), and she's taking over as editor of POP. It's a tough life, yes, but Dasha makes the best of it. [Interview]
