Shop It NowRole Model: Karlie Kloss Raises Over $58,000 For AIDS
Adding to her list of accomplishments that would inspire anyone (or make them jealous, or both), Karlie Kloss raised over $58,000 for AIDS charities at Sunday's AIDS Walk New York. But really, what doesn't this model do? At just 19 (yep, you read that right), Kloss can already claim the titles ballerina, model, style icon, Olympian (just kidding), and, now, she can add philanthropist to the list (on top of being a normal teenager, that is). Marching with fashion BFF Jason Wu and wearing Juicy Couture activewear, Kloss led team Step Forward to charitable victory, with some help from Juicy in the form of a hefty donation. Along with 45,000 other participants, Karlie contributed to the $6,014,822 total raised for over 40 AIDS charities — talk about a model citizen!

Shop Our Girl Lily Kwong's High-End (But Laid-Back!) Looks
We've long been fans of Lily Kwong's West-coast-meets-East-coast sartorial aesthetic; it's naturally eclectic but doesn't lack an ounce of sophistication. So when we saw that she teamed up with online mag Lifestyle Mirror to style an editorial shoot, we were pretty psyched. Lily sat down at one of our favorite downtown restos, Miss Lily's, for a (double-Lily) photo/video shoot that includes her signature loafers, sweet tunes, perfect summer staples, and (of course) a lil' something something from cousin Joseph Altuzarra. The best part? All of her wares are shoppable, like, now. Check out the adorable video below to learn more about why this It girl really has "It," and then call some of her pieces your own. Oh, and Lily, next time we're enjoying the joint's jerk chicken, well be watching for you...and your outfit. (Lifestyle Mirror)

Guess Which Cover Girl Wants $46K A Month In Child Support?
Most people would be happy with $46K year but for Cover Girl Linda Evangelista's five-year-old son Augustin, it's just the right amount per month. The 46-year-old model is seeking payment for full-time drivers and bodyguards for her son with billionaire ex-husband François-Henri Pinault. While many experts and NYC lawyers agree that this is way too steep (based on how much it actually costs to raise a son), Pinault's already put a $13 million California mansion on trust for his four-year-old daughter with current wife, Salma Hayek, so it may not be out of the question to think he'd fork over $1,500 a day or nearly $807,000 per year to his son. If he does pay up this will not only make Augustin a very lucky boy, but will also break records for child support. We're not making bets either way (especially not for $46k!), but if anyone's going to pay it forward to that extent, we wouldn't be surprised if it was a man nicknamed the "King of Luxury." Yep, that officially makes his son a prince. (NY Daily News)
Video: Chanel Iman Poisons Her Lover, Tortures Him
Lollipops. Puppies. Teenage girls squealing over One Direction at a slumber party. As one of the official faces of Victoria's Secret PINK, Chanel Iman channels all things sweet 16, whether she's posing perkily in bright, girly PINK hoodies or smiling down the VS fashion show runway to blaring teen pop. Getting even with a cheating lover in a scene straight out of Revenge? Not so much.
Well, well, well. Turns out we were wrong. Last night, we witnessed a 180-degree transformation that dispels Chanel-lite in just three minutes and 46 seconds. The quick-change is thanks to Jenna Elizabeth's short film, Thirst, a collaboration with BULLETT magazine and luxe accessories brand Reece Hudson, where a feminine Iman turns hardcore (read: Lisbeth Salander) femme fatale. We watched the flick slack-jawed with a clutch of other fashion girls and boys — think: Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Genevieve Jones, Timo Weiland, Kelly Framel, and Fivestory's Claire Distenfeld — over fried chicken and cold sake at Niko, making for a Monday that made us wish it was Friday.
Okay, so this isn't the first time we're seeing the supermodel less than squeaky clean; indeed, boundary-pushing filmmaker Elizabeth's first teamup with Iman led to some haunting stripping action. For Elizabeth x Chanel 2.0, though, we're taken somewhere infinitely more dangerous and erotic, an in-motion editorial that leaves the viewer disturbed, empowered, and, yes, slightly turned-on. Shot at the already moody Lafayette House, the "deadly game of confession" maps out just exactly what unfolds if you happen to be stupid enough to sleep with another woman while you're hooking up with Miss Chanel. A superhero for the Carine Roitfeld French Vogue generation, the model poisons her lover via some tainted whiskey, then gets heavy with the duct tape, leading to some macabre games with stilettos, cigarettes, and surgical equipment that's worthy of any Saw murderer. Paired with Reece Hudson's delicate, eye-catching bags and accessories — a gold-flecked minaudiere here, a crucifix-embossed cross-body bag there — and we're not sure if we should be making a shopping list or screaming. Who knew our clutches needed to fit a scalpel?

Kate Upton Love Triangle? What's She Doing With Aziz & Jared Leto?
It's not rare that the gorgeous Kate Upton is surrounded by fawning gentleman, but it's a bit more unexpected that Aziz Ansari would get so intimate with a supermodel. Leave it to Harper's Bazaar and NYC shutterbug Terry Richardson's salacious lens to make some dreams come true. In a throwback to Old Hollywood glamour, Upton posed with the funny man and style
Maryna Linchuk Is One Hot Manhattan Momma In Vogue Russia
In Russian Vogue's new "How I Met Your Mother" editorial, there's not a trace of Jason Segel or Neil Patrick Harris to be seen. Instead, what we get is Belarusian beauty Maryna Linchuk lugging a pair of totally aborbs tots around NYC while she sports some very unmatronly pieces by Nina Ricci, Tom Ford, Givenchy, and others. While you check out the hotness over at Supermodels.nl, ponder these questions — what would the PSP Mom Boards have to say about the dangers of carrying an infant while in sky-high Louboutins, and, wait a sec, since when do they have How I Met Your Mother in Russia?

The Sexiest Skateboards Ever: Stand On A Supermodel
It's another fashion crossover done skater style. Denim line 3X1 is teaming up with famed photog Ben Watts to make the sexiest skateboards ever. Featuring the beautiful mugs of Jessica Hart, Lake Bell, Elsa Hosk, Behati Prinsloo, and Chanel Iman, these decks are very limited-edition, with all profits from sales going to the models' causes, including Food on Foot, Polaris Project, Goods for Good and Keep A Child Alive. If this is the start of high fashion sports as we know it, then we're on board! (Er...pun intended.)
You can pre-order one now, or else you'll have to wait for their event happening April 5th right here in NYC, where you get to rub shoulders with supermodels, strike a pose in the SHHH! Photobooth manned by Watts himself, sip hard-core cocktails, and dance to the spins of DJ Chelsea Leyland. We're going to strap on our helmets for this one!

How To Look (Almost) As Good As Candice Swanepoel In A Bikini
As we feasted on delicious hors d'oeuvres yesterday afternoon and tried to keep swim season nightmares out of our head, we were in perfect company to finally face facts. With super-hot South African supermodel Candice Swanepoel on hand, we sat down at the Gansevoort during an exclusive look at the Victoria's Secret swim '12 collection to speak with the pro about her latest swim cover for VS. Of course, we had to pick her brain on how we can maybe, hopefully, somehow work a bikini just like her. The bad news: we probably should have hit the gym hard months ago instead of starting, like, tomorrow. The good news: Candice appreciates a good meal just as much as we do. Read on for what it is she feasts on.NSFW: Watch Cockroaches Creep On Kate Upton In This Zoo York Ad
What does it take for MTV and Adult Swim to turn down a sexy commercial? Apparently Kate Upton, some skin-tight workout clothes, and two dirty-minded cockroaches. While the model was wearing the equivalent of a puffer jacket in comparison to the micro bikini she sported on the cover of Sports Illustrated, it may have been the filthy city roaches that pushed the boundaries of this 30-second spot.
Shot in Tompkins Square Park, the Zoo York ad features NY's least-loved creepy-crawly residents, one of which drools over Upton as she stretches and runs by. Bouncing. In a sports bra. Even though there are no direct sexual references, the folks at Zoo York must have broken some kind of record for the number of explicit innuendoes they could create with skateboarding terms (an office hobby, perhaps?), including "I'd love to grind that thing," and one comment about wax that was pretty gross. Like it or not, with the exception of some colorful profanity at the end, the video may be racy but probably no worse than some of the other prime-time commercials that obviously live by the mantra that sex sells. (Gothamist)
What say you? Are you offended by Kate Upton's bod and her creepy-critter fan club, or are MTV and Adult Swim just being squares?
Models Share Dating Tips, Love Of Grindr In Barneys' Shoppable Video
The new craze of shoppable, interactive videos has finally hit one of our all-time-fave fashion sources – Barneys Co-Op! Yep, the style standby has crafted two vids – one for their men's offerings, one for women's – featuring a bevy of handsome young models holding forth on everything from their go-to dating tips (ice skating works every time), favorite lies ("you're not fat"), jokes, dance moves, and – surprisingly – one fellow's love of Grindr (the nearest hook-up is only feet away from him.) The fact the covetable pieces—from brands like Kenzo, 3.1 Philip Lim, rag & bone—worn by these lasses and lads are just a click away takes this to the top of the best shoppable mini-movies ever.
Check out the men's below and the women's here.

Prince Of Monaco Might Need Plastic Surgery After A Royal Rumble
This weekend served up the newest case of "celebrities royals, they're just like us." On Sunday, Pierre Casiraghi (aka the Prince of Monaco) got into a pretty brutal bar fight at MPD hotspot The Double Seven (where, just last week, we hosted our own Fashion Week event). The prince walked away with a busted face that some say needs plastic surgery, while alleged assailant and former club owner, Adam Hock, racked up a bar tab of eight counts of third-degree assault. And there were some big society names involved. The prince's posse, who also came under attack, included Stavros Niarchos III, Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld, and Diego Marroquin; Meanwhile, Team Hock wasn't too bad either—models Natasha Poly, Anja Rubik, and The Double Seven owner himself, Jeffrey Jah, all rolled in his entourage. Reports say the Prince and his crew approached Hock's table and were "being completely obnoxious," causing the punches to fly. We're skeptical about the entire series of events, but a royal prince being obnoxious? Somehow that part we can picture. Still, violence is never the answer. (People)
Lara Stone Makes Us Want An LPD (Little Pink Dress)
We've been seeing a lot of winter whites, fleshy taupes, and muted pastels around the tents this season, but no understated color has captured us quite like the almost-pink, almost-white Calvin Klein dress that Lara Stone wore to NYFW yesterday. It's the color of milk after a bowl of Berry Berry, the cut is nothing that special, but how could we not stop to stare at how amazingly it suits Lara Stone? It's these types of subtle dresses that sometimes leave the most lasting impression. For that reason, we're kind of ready to say goodbye to the LBD and welcome the LPD (Little Pink Dress). Happy Valentine's Day!
