MODEL JOURDAN DUNN IS PREGNANT


Jourdan Dunn, the 19-year-old British model, who won Best Model at last year's British Fashion Awards, is pregnant. Not just pregnant, but five and a half months along pregnant (she's due in December). Of course, when Vogue announced the news, they use it not as a platform for a discussion of society's attitude toward teen pregnancy, but rather an outlet to pick out designer maternity clothes for her, yay! Jourdan has been with her boyfriend for several years and the couple are eagerly anticipating the baby’s arrival. "Jourdan is delighted and really excited,” a spokesperson for her agency, Storm, said.

She should have plenty of money to take care of a kid after the impressive career she's had so far. Sadly, she'll probably be absent from Fashion Week in September. Tyra Banks better book Dunn for her talk show. Oprah would be better, but we'll take what we can get.

Ford models Chanel Iman and Amber Rose struck a pose last night at the dinner celebrating J Brand's denim collaboration with Hussein Chalayan.

Which model's personal style do you like more — Chanel's floppy hat and natural makeup or Amber's snug dress and glam lips?

G.O.O.D. got it!

Kanye West may be the master of mixing hip-hop and high fashion, but he’s nothing without his homeboys. So much so, West dedicated his three new luxury collaborative sneakers with Louis Vuitton to his close friends and collaborators, Don C, Mr. Hudson and Ibn Jasper.

To kick off the “Kanye’s Louis Vuitton Dons” series, StreetLevel.com spoke to 33-year-old Jasper a.k.a.
Ferrari Murakami, ‘Ye’s personal barber and image consultant to figure out how we can dress to impress, be meticulous like the Japanese and get a Louis Vuitton shoe named after us. Read the rest of the interview here.

fly kicks : NEIL BARRETT BASEBALL BOOT & ALEXANDER MCQUEEN PUMA TRAINER


Neil Barrett Baseball Boot ($275) in a neon yellow colorway, which features a leather and nylon upper with a rubber sole. Interesting color concept, especially since it looks like it belongs on a tennis court bouncing around.

The Alexander McQueen Puma Can Street Trainer sneakers ($258) was inspired by Alexander McQueen’s popular “Street” style. The Alexander McQueen sneakers are constructed from a creamy leather upper with contrasting tobacco leather trim and vulcanized rubber outer sole. Two ‘spines’ of detail run along the inner and outer sides and a small logo is embossed on the outer heel.

fresh face: DAVID AGBODJI

If there is one breakout star from Milan Men's Fashion Week, it's 21-year-old David Agbodji. The French-born model just opened and closed the Calvin Klein show. Though Calvin's shows are known to be on the paler side, they're also a springboard for careers for many models. And to see the label embracing Agbodji (and Courtney Taylor, too) could mark the beginning of a new direction for the brand. Perhaps he will follow in Jourdan Dunn's footsteps (she landed the coveted spot of being the new face of CK by Calvin Klein for fall) and book the Calvin campaign come spring. Here's to hoping.

THE BECKHAMS TAKE IT OFF FOR ARMANI


New photos of Victoria and her husband David Beckham from the fall 2009 Armani underwear campaign are out! Previously, we've seen Posh by herself and David by himself, but these are the first images of them wearing the underwear together. The rope David swung on in his previous campaign appears again but this time as a very uncomfortable looking bed, which possibly explains why his expression suggests he smells something stank. LOL

SHEER BOTTOMS AND CHANEL IMAN 'IN' AT DIOR


Images from the Christian Dior fall 2009 couture show, which walked yesterday in Paris, are trickling in. And it reveals John Galliano still loves those sheer bottoms. Sheer skirts also appeared in Galliano's fall 2008 couture and spring 2009 ready-to-wear shows for Dior. I'm interested in the black knee-length skirt Chanel Iman (far left) wore on the runway. Although you'll probably want one of their $8,895 couture slips to go with that.

KANYE WEST'S LOUIS VUITTON SNEAKER RELEASE PUSHED BACK


Remember the highly anticipated, yet grossly overpriced sneakers Kanye West is releasing with Louis Vuitton? Well, they were supposed to be in stores last spring, but won't be in stores until "late 2009", according to Racked.

Who in their right mind is willing to shell out $1140 for a pair of sneakers that you can only wear for one season? Spoiled brats and sneakerheads, probably. Do you think Louis Vuitton is delaying the release to shore up security at stores to deal with crowd control?
