It’s been a few days since we’ve wanted to scream in Karlie Kloss‘ face — out of love — but we knew it wouldn’t be long before there was something worth yelling about. In SHOWstudio‘s latest film series, “Fashion Fetish,” women in fashion — including Daphne Guinness, Lily Donaldson and Amanda Harlech — create performances and multi-media pieces “that comment on the contentious and provocative fusion of fashion with fetish.” Here, filmmaker Ruth Hogben directs Karlie, Ms. Kloss ’cause we’re nasty, playing with herself in Fuck Me. If the title doesn’t say enough, kinda NSFW.

At 11 A.M. today, Exit Art was bustling with t-shirt-flannel-n-jeans guys with ladders, gold paint, real leaved branches and tree trunks sitting apart, and two Swarovski crystal chandeliers hanging from a rolling rack. This team of set builders were being kindly and meticulously directed by Stefan Campbell, the man responsible for translating Michael Bastian‘s collection into a three dimensional space that garners an emotional reaction from the audience before the clothes hit the runway. Earlier this week, he removed the front row so Chadwick Bell could have a 14 foot-wide glowing fuchsia runway instead of seven. Today, he’ll be scenting Michael Bastian’s show with Aedes. After speaking with Stefan today, we can confirm that he knows the tricks to making a runway show magical. See Stefan Campbell’s secret tips and advice at the end of the interview. And we’ll go see the show now.

Karlie Kloss won’t be making any appearances on the runways during New York Fashion Week this season because “an engagement has come up.” This alleged engagement means a loss of thousands upon thousands of dollars for the super-in-training so whatever reason it is, it must be something good. And having no facts or clues on which to base supposition, we’ve come up with five conspiracy theories regarding her possible whereabouts.
