Claudia Schiffer - www.nndb.com
The size zero debate that is embroiling the fashion industry has attracted the opinions of just about everybody, and supermodel Claudia Schiffer has just given her two cents’ worth on the issue.
Schiffer is urging young models to not give in to pressure from their agents to diet. Speaking at a press conference in a Mexico City shopping mall, she said "I don't do any diets. I'm absolutely against diets."

Lauren Moller - www.yorkshiretoday.co.uk
In what can be seen as a clear statement to the fashion world amidst the raging size zero debate, store chain John Lewis has hired size 12 model Lauren Moller to be the face and body of its new swimwear ad campaign.
Moller, who is from Cape Town, South Africa, has a 26-inch waist, a 34C bust, 37.5-inch hips, and a BMI, or body mass index, of 19.8, just above the minimum BMI set by organizers of London Fashion Week for models. That means John Lewis played it safe, choosing a model who can hardly be called size zero.

Naomi Campbell - www.leninimports.com
One of the most controversial supermodels in the world wants to have a baby.
Naomi Campbell, who is a common fixture in tabloids and gossip blogs because of her feuds with fellow models, violent behavior, as well as brushes with the law, expressed her desire to become a mother in light of the fact that fellow supermodels Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evangelista are now doting moms, and that she’s the only one among her friends who deosn’t have children.

General Motors recently held the 6th Annual GM Ten celebrity fashion show, a charity event which features celebrities modeling creations of famous designers alongside the newest and hottest vehicles from the car maker.
Held on Tuesday night at the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, the show, which effectively fuses cars, couture and Hollywood, attracted a number of A-list stars, both offstage and onstage.
Caprice - www.askmen.com
There seems to be a rash of celebrities going into rehab lately. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Robbie Williams have all sought professional help.
Now you can add lingerie model Caprice Bourret to that list.
The face and figure of Wonderbra was reported by The Sun as having checked into The Priory rehab clinic in South West London last week to undergo addiction therapy, as well as counseling for depression.
Prada - www.telegraph.co.uk
Unfortunately, that doesn't refer to the price tags, but to the way they looked as models paraded Prada’s latest autumn-winter collection at Milan Fashion Week, just as designer Miuccia Prada intended them to be.
According to The Telegraph’s Hilary Alexander, the clothes looked like they came from a cheap, market stall.
Strange colours and even stranger colour combinations; fabrics which looked as if they had been stamped out by a plastic injection moulding machine; and shapes which were, for the most part, shapeless, all passed by in a bewildering display.
Kate Moss - www.eforu.com
Supermodel Kate Moss has thrown her hat into the fragrance arena by signing up with Coty Inc. to develop and market her own signature scent, much like the way celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton have done.
Coty is the largest fragrance company in the world. According to CEO Bernd Beetz, they are very excited about this latest partnership with Moss, since "there is no one better to embody a new fragrance than Kate, who epitomizes the look and feel of today's fashionistas”.

Armani Fall/Winter Collection - bp2.blogger.com
Giorgio Armani, arguably the most famous designer in the world, has finally brought his creations home for the first time in six years, showcasing his autumn/winter collection at the ongoing Milan Fashion Week.
Armani’s models wore little black dresses trimmed with bugle beads, knitted caps dotted with dewdrop crystals and knee-length rounded skirts in pale grey silk, all of which setting a tone that is undeniably feminine. Furthering the feminine tone is the fact that Armani’s fall/winter collection doesn’t have much in the way of pants.
Tyra Banks - www.fashionscene.nl
It has been ten years since supermodel Tyra Banks made history by becoming the very first black supermodel to appear all by herself on the cover of the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated. Now she is marking that milestone by recreating the Bahamian photo shoot that landed her on the cover of the magazine.
She wore the same red polka dot bikini that she wore ten years ago. However, a few adjustments had to be made to make it fit, considering that she now weighs twenty-one pounds heavier than her 140-pound weight during the original 1997 shoot.

Elena Miro Autumn-Winter Collection - AFP
As if to punctuate the fact that size zero models are banned from its catwalks, Milan Fashion Week opened Saturday with a bevy of Size 14 models sashaying down the runway.
The full figured models were wearing creations by designer Elena Miro, who specializes in couture for curvy women.
