- A disco ball-shaped spacecraft descended on Etam‘s spring lingerie show and released upon the world the powerhouse, booty-shaking vocals of Chaka Khan, Grace Jones, Gloria Gaynor and Sister Sledge. The world then dropped it like it was hot. [WWD]

- Taking two very different interpretations of ballin’, Karl Lagerfeld showed Chanel’s fall 2012 haute couture show on a specially-built luxury airplane and Riccardo Tisci chose the oldest gymnasium in Paris for Givenchy.

- Tim Gunn hasn’t been laid in 29 years. Well, that explains the crusty demeanor…and his personality. [The Cut]

- Some attendees of Chanel’s Numéro Privés installation in Vegas – who were flown via private jet — weren’t feeling classy enough, so they bee-lined it over to the AVN Adult Film Awards afterwards. [Page Six]

- Cynthia Nixon showed off her shorn scalp this morning on Live with Kelly! (that exclamation point is mandatory otherwise it would be a “?”). The actress formerly known as Miranda shaved her head for a new role on Broadway. [E!]

- Terry Richardson shot Kreayshawn for V Magazine and surprisingly she didn’t end up topless. [Refinery29]

- The Twitterverse rejoiced after learning that Michelle Obama has joined the social media giant. And while the actual account will be run by the Fierce Lady’s team, her personal tweets will be lovingly signed, “MO.” With the hashtag: #HBIC [MOBama's Twitter]

- Speaking of the Obamas, the campaign’s Runway to Win e-commerce site went live today, featuring designs by Proenza Schouler, Marc Jacobs, Diane von Furstenberg, Alexander Wang and — for kicks — the House of Dereon. [Runway to Win]

- Will wonders never cease? A Top Model contestant actually becomes a top model. ANTM‘s Cycle 10 reject Fatima Siad — the second coming of Iman — landed Hervé Léger‘s spring 2012 campaign. [The Cut]

- Blue Ivy Carter is officially a hitmaker. The less than a week old diva-in-training is the youngest person to enter the Billboard charts, riding on the coattails of daddy Hov’s “Glory.” No one’s ready for this baby’s jelly. [People]

- Calvin Klein and his jailbait lothario Nick Gruber are apparently “on a break.” Guess Calvin finally put Nick down for his nap. [NYDN]

- Indie Music Style Star Azealia Banks is going Gaga, working with the Lady’s right-hand queen Nicola Formichetti on her latest video. [Fashionista]

- Nike‘s agreed to pay a group of nearly 4,500 Indonesian factory workers $1 million in overtime, which roughly comes out to the price of a pair of Air Jordans per worker. Congrats. [The Cut]

- Lingerie models stripped down to their skivvies in Paris’ Musee d’Orsay as part of a publicity stunt for panty purveyor Etam. Museum officials, however, were not amused. Mostly because they did it without getting permission to film in the museum first. [Huff Po]

Natalia Vodianova: Do The Roo [The Under-Roo!]

Kirby Marzec — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 21:55:07 +0000

The familiar face of Russian model Natalia Vodianova may appear to be innocently filled with child-like wonder, but beneath the baby-face exists a more sensual being…a lingerie designer! Though Vodianova will continue her modeling, the model is slated to design her own collection of lingerie for Etam entitled Natalia pour Etam. Expect feminine and flirty from Vodianova as she anticipates to use materials like silk and lace and polka dot patterns!

Thanks Vogue!
