Here Come The Angels

US lingerie giant Victoria's Secret has confirmed that it will open its first UK store in 2012. The shop will be located on the "prestigious corner of New Bond Street and Brook Street," says the lingerie company's owner Limited Brands. It joins other US import Abercrombie & Fitch, which is situated just a few streets away and has seen immense popularity since it opened in 2007.

The brand, famous for its annual fashion show and team of Angels which currently includes Rosie Huntington-WhiteleY and Miranda Kerr, had previously been looking at locations on nearby Regent Street, but decided on the 16,500 sq ft New Bond Street store thanks to its size.

Chanel On Film Again

HOT off the back of Audrey Tautou, Anna Mouglalis is the next French actress to have played Coco Chanel in the latest biopic Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.

Model Mum

GISELE may have only given birth six months ago but you certainly wouldn't know it as she returned to the catwalk yesterday. The model paraded in her native Brazil as a part of Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

"I was very nervous," Bundchen said, according to the website of the Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo. "But I am very happy, everything went right."

Helena Bares All

SUPERMODEL Helena Christensen has bared all for Reebok's new EasyTone trainers - and admitted she's a fan of the trainers' technology out of laziness!

"With my busy schedule it's a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym," the Vogue cover girl explained. "I'm impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I've stuck with them."

Naomi In Neon

NAOMI CAMPBELL'S new-found love for Russia has inspired a charity venture to raise money for the country's underprivileged children.

"I'm living here [and] everyone has been very nice to me and welcoming - I wanted to give back," Campbell said. The supermodel lives part of the year in Russia with her property tycoon boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, and has become a regular fixture on Moscow's fashion circuit.

The Warm Weather Ankle Boot

2009 was the year of the ankle boot, but the way things are going, 2010 could also be given that accolade—though now the boots are looking a little different, what with the plethora of laces, straps, cutouts, and . . . peep-toes, which are, as far as we are concerned, the clincher detail for the perfect summer boots. “A style with a peep-toe gives a twist to a boot’s proportions,” says senior accessories editor Filipa Fino, “and the openness extends the line of the leg.” For us, the style is the perfect transitional shoe from cold to warm weather, while being denuded of any associations with a particular season. Take, for instance, the snakeskin version by Giuseppe Zanotti for Thakoon, which, says assistant accessories editor Megan Hayes, “have the scale of a fall boot, but the ecru tone makes you think of a summer sandal.” What is specific: What you wear these boots with. Sally Singer, fashion news/features director, eyeing an Alexander Wang laced and zippered boot, thinks they’re just the thing to go with narrow cropped pants and a chambray shirt from the Row. Style-wise, says Singer, “you want to stick to boyish separates—not a flirty dress.”

Models Vs Celebrities

DESPITE Madonna's return for Dolce & Gabbana (read the full story here), it seems models are winning over celebrities in the coming season's campaigns - with almost all major luxury brands casting seasoned fashion faces.

"Actresses are fantastic, but they're not models and it's not easy," YSL's Stefano Pilati - who selected Vogue cover girl Daria Werbowy for this season's images - explained. "What I need to focus on is an attitude, and this comes from a great, experienced model. Actresses have an attitude, but will never be the fashion attitude. To me, fashion photography is with a model; otherwise, it's a portrait."

"I think it's a very contemporary approach," Gucci creative director Frida Giannini - who chose Raquel Zimmermann again for the label's winter campaign - told WWD. "The other issue with celebrities is that they are characters who are often associated with a certain film. I prefer a strong, generic face that's not related to any world — whether that be music or Hollywood."

Rumours abound that the Louis Vuitton autumn/winter campaign, photographed by Steven Meisel in New York recently, will feature Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova, whilst Balenciaga's advertising will feature 10 models this season, including Elson and Stella Tennant. Cavalli opted for Gisele, because she is "part model, part celebrity - and she is very special," Eva Cavalli revealed, whilst Karl Lagerfeld cast models rather than celebrities in his campaigns for Chanel, Fendi, and for his eponymous line.

Supermodel No More

CHRISTY TURLINGTON may be one of the models who the term supermodel was coined for - but nowadays she'd rather be known for things other than her beauty.

"I don't really think of myself as a supermodel," Turlington said. "I think my reputation and the things I've done in the time since I was in my early Twenties has proven to people that I take issues seriously and I don't really spend time with people who might think otherwise."
