Turlington most recently fronted the YSL campaign five years ago. The new photographs have been released in a week which also saw the original ‘waif”, Twiggy, announced as the returning “face” of Olay, more than two decades after she was first photographed for the brand.

Once a household name, Turlington was one of the original “supers” all known simply by their first names – Linda, Christy, Claudia (Schiffer) and Naomi (Campbell) et al; all of whom have begun building up their pension schemes with a return to the forefront of lucrative advertising contracts and magazine front covers.

A source revealed to US Weekly, "Fashion is Kanye's main priority at the moment. He wants to get his own brand started."

And far from using her superstar status to work his way up the ladder, Mr West is reportedly mucking in with his fellow interns "He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 am. He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly."

The chic variety of accessories, apparel, and other items featured in The Zoe Report are carefully chosen by Rachel Zoe and her editorial team of fashion addicts-ahem-experts.

Never in a million years would we accept money (or Neiman Marcus giftcards) in exchange for editorial endorsement. That would be bananas. The bad kind.

"Our project is on hold while she focuses on her family," Healthtex representative Scott Pryzwansky confirmed to RadarOnline.com.

In an appearance on the Rachel Ray Show in May, Gosselin gave audience members a gift bag of treats including DVDs of Jon & Kate Plus 8, copies of her new book, and an adorable dress which Ray described as a "Healthtex outfit [Kate] helped design and create."

Pea in the Pod and I joined to create a capsule collection of maternity wear that will be available in stores this summer. Last weekend I shot some images for the campaign with one of my favorite photographers, James White.

I'm really excited for you all to see the new collection.

Children's Clothing Acquisition Co., doing business as Best & Co., filed a Chapter 7 petition for liquidation Friday in New Jersey and estimated assets and liabilities each of between $1 million and $10 million. The filing also said creditors holding unsecured nonpriority claims totaled nearly $2 million.

Among the creditors listed, but without dollar amounts, are: staffing firm 24 Seven Inc., New York; specialty retailer Bergdorf Goodman, New York, and modeling agency Ford Models Inc., New York. Other creditors include Susan Hilfiger of Greenwich, Conn.; Hickey Freeman Co., Chicago, part of bankrupt Hartmarx Corp., and trim firm The Farber Corp, New York.

As reported, Best & Co.'s 4,800-square-foot flagship high-end children's boutique, at 289 Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich, abruptly closed on Saturday. The firm also shuttered its catalogue and online business in recent days, which its Web site attributed to "technical difficulties." A spokeswoman for Bergdorf's said since Best & Co. filed Chapter 7, Best & Co. at Bergdorf's will close. The details have not been finalized at this point. Bergdorf's Best & Co. merchandise ran the gamut from baby caps and booties for $18 to blankets and playsuits for $48 to vintage cashmere jackets for $198.

Santo Versace told reporters there was a net improvement in May and June sales and consumption, compared with the start of the year.

"This is for Versace and also the general sensation I have from speaking to others," he said, adding demand in the past two months had held steady when compared with last year.

"(But) no-one can say the crisis is finished," he said.

Now that a Chicago bankruptcy court has signed a final order approving the sale of the assets of bankrupt Hartmarx Corp. to London-based Emerisque Brands and its investment partner SKNL North America, the question among retailers, bankers and even politicians — including its best-known customer, President Obama — remains whether the new owners can make Hartmarx and its brands viable in the long term and fulfill their promise to maintain jobs in the U.S.

A spokeswoman for Emerisque said, "The bankruptcy court acknowledged that the company has adequate financing to close the deal. Emerisque also is accelerating its business analysis of the Hartmarx operation so it can hit the ground running once the deal closes. We are looking at all opportunities to reconstitute the Hartmarx business to return it to growth and profitability." She added, "We are committed to U.S. production for Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey Freeman tailored clothing."

Emerisque was cheered by unions for its stated intention to keep Hartmarx's domestic factories and its bid to buy the entire company, rather than seeking only pieces of it like rival bidders. But operational experts said reducing overhead through outsourcing should be considered as part of any turnaround plan, especially for midtier-priced products, which Hartmarx has continued to make domestically even as most competitors shifted manufacturing overseas.

One source close to Emerisque said many Hartmarx brands — including Monarchy and Exclusively Misook — have untapped potential in their core U.S. market, as well as growth potential in expanding distribution overseas, as do the flagship men's brand Hart Schaffner Marx and Hickey Freeman. If and when the men's brands are distributed overseas, production would remain primarily in the U.S. since many overseas markets place a premium on tailored apparel that has the "Made in America" tag line, the source contended. In contrast, Monarchy and Exclusively Misook, as well as Christopher Blue, are already produced overseas.
