* Claudia Schiffer turns 30 Frankfurt, (August 25)
Amongst huge coverage in German media, supermodel Claudia Schiffer turned 30 today.
In an interview with Stern, Schiffer said she was delighted to turn 30, now lacking the
timidness of when she was 21. She put the age matter aside, saying that she had worked
hard to build up the Claudia Schiffer brand and that that was unaffected by age. The
model also said she found it difficult to meet men. Currently dating British art dealer
Tim Jeffries, Schiffer was once engaged to magician David Copperfield. Schiffer stated
that her relationship to Copperfield was not designed to boost their careers and was
appalled by the press's continual 00speculation. A national symbol in Germany—
arguably with the stature of France's Marianne—Schiffer and compatriot Boris Becker
recently supported their country's successful bid for the 2006 World Cup soccer venue.
Schiffer was discovered aged 17 outside a Düsseldorf nightclub and has been on the
covers of 550 magazines since then.

* This (past) week in New York Fashion, with Marilyn Kirschner (Aug. 18th edition)

Question of the week: Would the CFDA be peddling 7th on 6th if its biggest sponsor,
GM, was pulling out? More news and intrigue surrounding the September shows, which
continue to take on the characteristics of a Hollywood production. Talk of the Town:
Tina Brown lays blame and her subjects react (and we have a cartoon to depict the scenario)…Fall’s strong suit: ‘Conventional’ wisdom- do fashion and politics mix?
Anna to staff: ‘Get Shorty’: the way to go for fall is short, bobbed, and blonde
Chic to ‘Cheek’: Hintmag’s entry into the awards arena-but who cares?
Plus winners & losers, and more! (Real Player needed)

Behind W, a Square Guy With a Parallax View - article here
Old-fashioned" is not an expression anyone in the superchic, see-you-later-Charlie
world of fashion magazines would think of applying to Dennis Freedman, the creative
director of W, who turned an aging uptown broadsheet into a visually exciting
barometer of the here and now.

As a result, the editorial well of W has emerged as an important -- maybe the most
important -- creative showcase for photography among American fashion magazines.
Fabien Baron, a former creative director of Harper's Bazaar whose cinematic portraits
of writhing models appear in the current issue of W, said: "In Europe it's Italian Vogue
and in America it's W -- and I would add Vogue, because it's still the pinnacle of
American fashion. But that's it." In Mr. McCarthy's view, a turning point came three
years ago when W ran a series of pictures Mr. Weber took of Kate Moss, Marianne
Faithfull and Stella McCartney. Of course, agreeing to publish Bruce Weber's
photographs hardly involves mental lifting. What's interesting -- and this says a lot
about why many fashion magazines don't work today -- is that Mr. Freedman didn't
hesitate when Mr. Weber presented him with the idea, which was along the lines of
"Let's bring a bunch of English girls together and shoot them."

The fact that W freely publishes images that don't emphasize or even show clothes is
partly what sets the magazine apart. As he spoke, Mr. Freedman brought out some
images taken by Mr. di Corcia for the September issue that explored voyeurism in a
distinctly Park Avenue setting. But as Mr. Freedman knows, his approach is not novel.
It is, indeed, an old-fashioned one, going back to the early days of Vogue and Bazaar.
It's just that he now makes the pursuit of good work seem so uncomplicated.

Vogue editrix Anna Wintour has decreed: long hair is out, short is in. Any model who
wants to appear on the cover must chop her locks, sources said. The edict went out a few
months ago, and Wintour was said to have been more than a mite miffed when one cover-
girl refused to comply for Vogue, but then had her tresses trimmed for a rival glossy. "We
definitely encourage girls to get their hair cut, but ‘encouraged' is not ‘forced,'" a Vogue
rep said, adding, "We have a story in our September issue about bobs [haircuts] being
back in, and everyone got their hair cut for it." - story here
Personally I perfer seeing the models with long hair. I bet someone commented
of Anna's hair, and it wasn't a compliment which they said. This is her revenge.

* ZSA ZSA'S DAUGHTER RIPS HILTONS - story here
The semi-nude sexy shots of Paris (Hilton, grand daughter of Zsa Zsa) done by
David LaChappelle horrified Francesca (Hilton, daughter of Zsa Zsa) . In one, Paris
is standing in her grandmother's house wearing a mesh top with nothing underneath.
"People tell me," Francesca observes, "no matter what, your mother and grandmother
always looked beautiful. [The LaChappelle shots] are not elegance. That's nudity.
If you are going to do a porno then do it."
** Dominique Swain: TYPECAST - story here
All grown up at 20, Dominique Swain is every bit as precocious as her "Lolita" character.
In the new FHM, the sultry actress confides that when she was 17, she had a "physically
abusive," drug dealer boyfriend. "I got pregnant ... but I got out of it," she says. Of her
steamy makeout scene with female model James King in "Happy Campers," she shrugs,
"It's a really good scene, besides being stimulating."

Donna Karan Seeing Red, Again: (Last Updated: Wednesday, August 9, 2000)
Donna Karan International announced a $7 million loss in the second quarter.
Donna Karan International's biggest stumbling block remains the designer's
pay package. Karan essentially licenses her name to the company. In return, her
private design studio gets a percentage of "sales by the Company, its affiliates, its
subsidiaries and sublicensees." That earned her Gabrielle Studio $76 million from 1996
through 1999. Many investors have concluded that her pay package leaves them last in
line. That is one reason the stock has lost three quarters of its value since the company
went public at $24 a share in June of 1996. The stock closed at $6.06 Tuesday, down 25 cents.
