Miranda world’s 10th most desirable woman
Feb 5th
MODEL Miranda Kerr is among five Australian beauties to make an annual list of the world’s most desirable women. Kerr has finished 10th on the annual Askmen.com 99 Most Desirable Women list.
It was topped by Canadian actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, from the TV hit Entourage. The poll, which this year attracted more than six million votes, asks men to rate women based on their qualities as an ideal wife or girlfriend. Kerr, a Victoria’s Secret model and the face of David Jones, had a huge jump to number 10 from the 46th spot last year. She said she was delighted with the result.
Naomi Campbell plans fashion show for Haiti relief
Feb 5th
NEW YORK – Naomi Campbell called on the fashion world to do its part for the Haiti relief effort — and the fashion world answered: There will be a charity catwalk show pairing top models and designers at New York Fashion Week.
Campbell organized the first Fashion for Relief event at the Bryant Park tents in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and has since taken it to Tanzania and Mumbai, India. The return to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Feb. 12 comes at the right time, Campbell said.
“Everyone else is trying to help Haiti, and we wanted to do our part on the fashion side of things,” Campbell said in a telephone interview from Paris. “The response has been overwhelming. No one has said `no’ — which means a lot because it’s such a busy time with designers preparing their fall collections.”
The event is still coming together, but Campbell said she had called upon her friends, including Christy Turlington and the Duchess of York, asking them to participate. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is putting together the looks, and designer Marc Jacobs has already created a special Louis Vuitton handbag, one of many items that will go on sale on the Net-a-Porter Web site March 15, with proceeds going to the organization CARE.
