“Everyone just expects me to jump now. I think they just think I jump naturally, like put me in great shoes and I jump,” said Caroline Trentini backstage at the Victoria’s Secret show this afternoon.

“Will you ever not jump?”

“No! I mean, as long as people ask me to jump, I’ll jump!”

Once I got that all-important question out of the way, I ran around the room and asked a handful of our favorite girls two critical questions:

1. What’d you have for breakfast?
2. What are you wearing to tonight’s after party?

Chanel Iman said she ate eggs, bacon, potatoes, cereal and fruit. I would have said, “Don’t lie,” but I wasn’t in the mood to pick a fight with an angel and she followed with, “I think eating is sexy.” She wants to wear the Valli dress she wore down his runway, but if it doesn’t show up, she’s sure she can find something “super sexy to wear with my fabulous boots.”

Julia Stegner’s wearing Herve Leger, surprise! (There were two camps of girls, the ones wearing Herve and the ones specifically not wearing Herve because everyone else is wearing Herve.) She’s not a breakfast person, but “I had pomegranate seeds this morning! Only because I’m on antibiotics and I have to eat something.”

While people keep asking Lorenzo Martone about his impending nuptials with Marc, we were more interested to read about his new business venture in this morning’s NY Post.

Martone and former Elite marketing director Ryan Brown have created ARC NY, a public relations agency just for models. They told Page Six: “Our goal is to build equity around the girl’s personality.” That means helping them branch out into other projects like acting, singing and product lines.

So far they’ve lined up Lydia Hearst, Alessandra Ambrosio, Fernanda Motta, Julie Henderson, and Jessica White.

We think this sounds like a pretty cool idea. Because it’s always painful to watch a celebrity (model, actress, or singer) stumble into new genres, seemingly without a plan or any guidance whatsoever. And between Lorenzo and Ryan, they’ve got the media savvy backgrounds and serious connections to make some really interest projects happen.

Though we can’t lie and say the possible “singing” careers don’t frighten us just a wee bit. But we’re gonna go ahead and trust in Lorenzo’s good taste on these matters.

There’s already so much buzz surrounding the Victoria’s Secret fashion show’s return to New York that we kind of feel like we’re prepping for an entire fashion week.

This morning, the press trekked downtown to District (that building Amy Sacco’s done something with) to meet the ten finalists in the Angel competition. After three weeks of Victoria’s Secret boot camp, one will win a spot on the Armory’s runway come November 19th.

America picks the winner; there are, of course, cameras following the wannabe Angels everywhere and their boot camp webisodes will air on both CBS.com and VSAllAccess.com. Voting opens to the public on November 9th.

Now to the important part - the girls. They range in age from 18-year-old Katelyn from Boston who’s never modeled a day in her life and happily confesses to stuffing her bra to 25-year-old Tika from Albania via Detroit who’s been happily married for seven years.

Dear Fashionista,

So here I was just wandering through Soho doing my thing when I happened upon Natalia at the corner of Prince and Greene, snapping shots of herself with a digital camera.

Though I suppose that’s just an average Thursday afternoon in this neighborhood. If it’s not a fashion shoot, it’s Gossip Girl, right?

Anyway I thought you guys would enjoy them! Also, how amazing are those shoes????

xoxo,

A Supermodel-Spotting Reader

Sometimes, I miss fashion trivia.

Like for this, I’d ask you which almost super-model whose face you know like the back of your hand starred in a late 90’s movie with people like Adrien Brody, the Chief from Grey’s Anatomy (and Alex) and the guy who dressed up as Will Shakespeare in Ten Things I Hate About You.

It’s the only movie she’s ever been in. In fact, she’s one of the few models to have had so much success and not acquired a slash. So in honor of the fact that it’s practically Friday, here’s Carolyn Murphy playing actress in Liberty Heights.

Rimmel’s signed Georgia Jagger and Coco Rocha.

At the rate she’s going, Georgia might soon be the new Coco. Her Hudson Jean ads just debuted last month, her first Vogue UK cover this month and now, with a cosmetic contract in hand, she’s officially more model than someone’s daughter.

The British makeup brand, most notably fronted by Kate Moss, needs a shakeup, “Rimmel embodies the London look, which is very resonant with young people all over the world who look to London as a center of multiculturalism and freedom of expression.”

The senior vice president of marketing’s words sounded a bit off until WWD made sure to note that by January, they’ll have signed three new not-white faces. For now, they’re hoping Georgia’s provocative edge and Coco’s “sensuality” will spice things up a bit.

Last March, a few designers embraced the one off ad.

Ads are expensive, and if you’ve got the momentum of a Rodarte or a Phillip Lim, unnecessary (for now). Unless of course the economy tanks.

One of the designers who gave the idea a shot, Zac Posen, shot this ad just for Fanzine 137, but the buzz must’ve been worth it because now he’s done it again.

This time around he hired a superstar model, and good friend, Coco Rocha, and Ellen Von Unwerth to shoot two different, very stylized ads to run in the same magazine next month. The ads - luxe, colorful, fun - pretty much sum up the Zac Posen brand and Coco looks perfect, as usual.

This should make your day.

We stumbled on a video of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and maybe Amber Valetta (but I’ve watched it five times and still can’t tell for sure) posing for maybe Mario Testino (going off the voice here, he doesn’t make an appearance) for an almost vintage Pirelli calendar shoot.

The girls look insanely young, dancing around the studio, hopping on each others backs and genuinely bursting with personality until they accidentally break their set. And I thought being a model circa now looked like fun.

When I found Alice Dellal backstage at Valentino, she was busy bickering with her elegant mother.

Apparently, they disagreed about the right look for the night’s parties. Mom, in head-to-toe Valentino red, favored the Valentino look Alice sported during the show while daughter preferred her cozy shearling, torn t-shirt, jeans and massive shoes - though she couldn’t remember where they were from, “Somewhere on the high street?” she said, “It’s all I can afford.”

The jeans and t-shirt won, quelle surprise, and she looked gorgeous. One always wonders about the pseudo-royalty-becomes-model-types, but up close and personal, there’s no wondering about Alice. She has an air about her and when you stand next to her, you just get it.

What’s better on a Friday morning than a little live male model action? Not much in our book.

If you concur, we suggest you make a little note in your Outlook calendar to surf over to SHOWStudio tomorrow at 11 am and watch a shoot of VMan’s Model Search. Live streaming is the thing, you know.

We don’t yet have an inside track on the theme of the Nick Knight/Simon Fox shoot yet, but we’re pretty sure it will be hot. I mean, the mag isn’t going to award a cover and Ford contract to just anybody.

And watching male models work it for the camera sounds like a real morning mood-enhancer to us.

It’s day five of Fashion Week and we’re officially delirious, exhausted and overwhelmed.

We’re also having a blast, almost as much fun as Coco and Behati have in this video for Holt Renfrew. It’s basically like the videos they make on their own time, but more polished. We’ve watched it three times - hey, we need mindless right now - and can’t think of anything we’d rather do than jump on a hotel bed with piles of clothes, these two girls and a killer soundtrack.

We expressed some concern earlier about whether or not Erin Wasson would be able to fill the largest venue at Bryant Park for her RVCA show. But fill it she did with a rowdy crowd for the evening show.

I was surrounded by some hard-partying downtown types who seemed to have a huge fondness for whiskey and getting in the way of me taking pictures. So apologies for these kinda sucking!

Also on hand, Little J, doing her own downtown indie rocker thing, complete with sheer thigh high tights and messy hair extensions. Bruce Willis and model/wife Emma Hemmings came in just before the show started and smiled for a few pics. And while I couldn’t see them, I heard from @Modelinia that Behati and boyfriend Jamie Strachan were smooching in the front row.

Gang Gang Dance played live, complete with a dude whose sole purpose seemed to be waving a garbage bag flag. I was definitely not musically groovy enough to have known who they were right away. But the experimental indie-ness of their sound is exactly what I imagine Erin Wasson being into.

Freja opened in the show, baring midriff. And Lily closed in a floor length Victorian bed jacket ensemble. In between there were lots of denim, slouchy tees, and Irina in stripes. It was hipster meets hippie meets Erin Wasson, who danced out to raucous applause and cheers at the end of the show.

And seriously, if anyone can explain the garbage bag flag, shoot me an email.

We hear there are three groups for tomorrow’s Demarchelier shoot in front of the Tents. You know the one for Vogue with 100 models in their FNO tees. If you’re looking for the top girls, they’re most likely in group C…and they’ve got an 8:30 am call time. We’re at events all morning but feel free to send us snapshots!

There was internet on my bus back from Boston last night, which led to loads YouTubing in place of much needed sleep.

I found this - a really well made video of Erin Wasson circa 2008 working on Alex Wang’s AW08 collection, dressing models, smoking cigarettes, talking about AMFAR and explaining her decision to document everything on video, “I have a really shitty short term memory and when I’m old with Alzheimer’s I want to be able to like remember how dope and youthful I was.”

Hear, hear.

Sally Potter, the renowned British filmmaker, takes on the fashion industry in her newest film Rage.

The film poses as a series of interviews shot by a young boy on his camera phone at New York Fashion Week. Behind the scenes he stumbles upon the craziest of the fashion crowd; Jude Law and Lily Cole play models, Judi Dench plays the fashion critic, Eddie Izzard’s the money and John Leguizamo’s his bodyguard.

Someone’s shot in the trailer and it looks as though a satirical fashion forward version of Clue ensues. The movie premieres via satellite September 24th, details here.

Dree Hemingway, former Abercrombie model and it-girl of a pretty long moment, will walk Calvin Klein next month.

The model, and literary heir, surfaced onto New York’s fashion scene about a year ago and while she made the show and party rounds last season, she walked exclusively for Ricardo Tisci at Givenchy in Paris.

We expect she’ll be at least a US exclusive for Calvin Klein and pop up in Paris, if not London, too.

And in other model news, Alana Zimmer’s gone and chopped off all her hair.

We’ve never heard Raquel Zimmermann speak so much.

And though we can’t understand a Portuguese word she’s saying (don’t worry, there are subtitles), we can understand her high energy and why, aside from the really ridiculously good looking part, everyone wants to work with her.

It’s especially fun to watch after having seen her quiet, patient professional side in The September Issue; in case you doubt models’ acting skills here’s the perfect example of two very different sides of one girl. She talks about her favorite photographers, why she bleached her hair and what she really thinks of her (not so new) look.
