Perilous!


Karolina Kurkova in the Pirelli calendar. / Ph.Bruce Weber
It's out. And it's very much back to its old scanty antics. Pirelli, purveyors of one of the most brilliant publicity stunts in the fashion (or is that tire) business released the Bruce Weber lensed calendar this week. Weber delivers his requisite shots of barely dressed luminaries like Hedi Klum, Bridget Hall, Jessica Miller, Maria Carla and Isabeli mingling with a new crop of male models like MDC fave Jak Krauszer. And how maddening is it that the thing is not for sale to the general public. Clever foxes.

Telma's Terrific!


Telma/Supreme
In keepng with the S/S 03 seasonal sweep towards sexy, Supreme has a brilliant new breakout star in the form of Telma. Thus far she's logged D&G, Versus, Hugo Boss and the next Gap campaign in her win column, signaling that she is indeed one of those special faces to watch in the next six months...As the shoots for the S/S 03 campaigns come to conclusion it's clear that clients chose to invest in established stars, rather than gamble the house on completely new faces...the evidence, the giant season logged by 1 Mgmt's Eva Herzigova booking Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Alberta Feretti and Hugo Boss in addition to her upcoming Juergen Teller W story ...and of course there is IMG superstar Gisele having her most massive season ever, logging not only her customary gigs but apparently adding Balenciaga and Blackgama to her booty. With Versace going in its signature supermodel direction, Naomi Campbell grabbing a spot in the David Yurman campaign and YSL being highlighted by UTA's Christy, it's truly a season of classics. Of course Prada, that ever revolutionary house moves in a completely contrary direction holding Next's Elize Crombez as its signature girl. And don't you just love them for that?
