New Versace Girls Confirmed

Donatella Versace has the best of both worlds for her fall ad campaign. Russian beauty Natalia Vodianova and Brazilian bombshell Isabeli Fontana have been confirmed to shoot Versace's fall campaign today in Manhattan with photographer Mario Testino and stylist Brana Wolf.

The duo replace Gisele Bündchen, who stars in Versace's current ads. This is Vodianova's first Versace campaign (she was featured in past Versus advertising) while Fontana represented the Italian fashion house in 2004 as the face of Versace Crystal Noir parfum.

"My first big important fashion show was Versace!" Fontana said Tuesday night at a Barneys New York dinner in honor of Donatella Versace and its exclusive launch of the Versace men's wear line. "I cannot wait. She is an amazing designer to work with!" Testino, meanwhile, couldn't have been happier with his subjects. "I choose all my girls," he said. "So of course I think it's great!"

New York Fashion Week

Well we're 4 days into New York fashion week and things are going well! There's only been a few hissy fits - mainly from Jessica Stam by all accounts, but whats new? Isabeli Fontana (pictured at Miss Sixty) is enjoying her second successful season after her big comeback and newcomers Abbey Lee Kershaw, Kamila Filipcikova and Anna Gushina (among others) are having very successful premiere seasons.

Some of the girls who ruled a few years ago, namely around the 05/06 seasons, are having a good week so far - Heather Marks, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly all have a few shows under their (high waisted super tiny - of course) belts!

Still to look forward to we have fashion weeks from London, Milan and Paris where some of the world's most infamous designers will show their collections including Prada, Stella McCartney, Chloe and Gucci.

Isabeli's New Place

Brazilian top model Isabeli Fontana must've made a lot of money in her unbelievable comeback year, following the birth of her second child Lucas - she's just spent $3.37 million on a three-bedroom apartment in the Trump Place development on Riverside Boulevard. Not only that, but she already has a penthouse in a Trump condo a few doors down!

Isabeli, who currently fronts the H&M lingerie campaign and has a place in the Victoria's Secret catalogues, perhaps needs the extra room for her two children!

Isabeli dating Rico Mansur

After divorcing Henri Castelli earlier this year it seems Isabeli Fontana has found new love in the form of brazilian playoby and all around rich boy Rico Mansur, who according to her, 'brings her peace'.

The couple have been dating for 3 months but only just made their relationship official and are on the cover of brazilian gossip magazine 'Istoe Gente' with pictures inside of their time spent together recently in Brazil.

Rico is known for dating brazilian supermodels, with his past beauties including uber model Gisele Bundchen, Leticia Birkheuer, Luana Piovani and Isabella Fiorentino. Isabeli is his first girlfriend who's had children, she has 2 sons, and he's quoted as saying he loves it!

New York Fashion Week

We are just over half way through New York Fashion Week, the first of 4 main fashion weeks (NYC to be followed by London, Milan and Paris) in the Spring/Summer 2008 season.

So far we have seen models struting their stuff at shows such as Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, Rosa Cha and Alexander Wang, plus a full host of after parties and promotional events.

One of the most popular events for models so far has been the Calvin Klein Underwear 25th anniversary party, attended by catwalk beauties Miranda Kerr, Natasha Poly, Suvi Koponen, Behati Prinsloo, Angela Lindvall, Liya Kebede, Agyness Deyn, Hana Soukupova, Jessica Miller, Irina Lazareanu, Eugenia Volodina, Doutzen Kroes, Julia Stegner, Raquel Zimmerman, Jessica Stam and Isabeli Fontana, to name a few.

Also polular was the Fashion Rocks concert, where countless stars partied alongside catwalk stunners such as Andi Muise, Tyra Banks and Lydia Hearst. The Missoni party in honour of celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe's latest book was similarly packed full of model beauty.

Do you think they'll still be partying like this by the end of Paris? We think so!
