Supermodels
Naomi Campbell - www.cognacscorner.tv
Naomi Campbell has signed up with Independent Talent Group, Europe's largest talent representation agency, to handle all of her commercial contracts in the UK.
The supermodel superstar, however, is still represented internationally by IMG in Paris, IMG in New York and David Brown D' Manage.
Still, Campbell’s move is no less a major coup for Independent, formerly known as ICM, which counts the likes of Daniel Craig, Orlando Bloom and Alexa Chung among its roster of talents.

A former face of Burberry's Brit fragrance, Grimes has partnered with her friend, designer Lily Parker, to create to create a capsule collection LPBG. To be made up of dainty silk dresses and separates, the collection will make its debut at London Fashion Week in September. The duo has also produced cropped jackets and shorts as part of their line.
"We have strived to bring old-school detailing to modern pieces", said Grimes. "There are no full-length dresses in the collection. We wanted the clothes to be more about kicking up your heels and dancing".

The campaign, shot in black and white by fashion photographer Bruce Weber on a beach in Miami, will debut in magazines in September.
Claudia Schiffer - www.music-juice.com
Claudia Schiffer may be two years shy of forty, but that doesn’t mean the German supermodel couldn’t give models nearly half her age a run for their money when it comes to looks. She’s turning 38 next month and she looks like one of those women who get better with age, as she’s still drop-dead gorgeous.
And Dolce & Gabbana know that all too well, as they have decided to sign up Schiffer to be the new face of the label’s resort collection.
The campaign, which we could only hope would include swimsuit or bikini shots, is expected to debut in major fashion books this December.

Time for some gossip: flame-haired model Lily Cole is rumored to be seeing actor Jude Law, according to the Daily Mail newspaper.
Law, who at 35 is 15 years older than the 20-year-old Cole, has been spotted a number of times in public with the model, who is the face of M&S and Accessorize.
