The Supermodel as Mogul

When just your name attached to a project will guarantee coverage on all media fronts, you have officially become a Model Mogul. These are some of our favorite top 4 MM: Tyra Banks (her TV shows), Kate Moss (her collections for Topshop), Gisele Bundchen (her line of swimsuits and her acting) and of course everyone’s favorite German, Heidi Klum (Project Runway and pictured below, her line of premium denim for Jordache). Welcome to the new breed of supermodels.

Wasting No Time Making Friends

Though Nina Garcia serves as editor at large at Elle through season five of “Project Runway,” it seems she’s already getting a head start on her fashion director duties at Marie Claire. Her new gig officially begins Sept. 2, but sources close to the magazine say Garcia has already moved into her office, the former digs of Tracy Taylor, who was dismissed in May to make way for Garcia. The “Project Runway” judge also is said to be conducting “run-throughs” for fashion shoots for the January issue. Sources said Garcia’s requests for high-end designer wares to be featured in fashion spreads can at times be at odds with Marie Claire’s more mass-market sensibilities.

A spokeswoman for Marie Claire said, “Nina is on contract with Elle that prohibits her from working for Marie Claire before Sept. 1. She has been in the office only to work out her travel schedule for the European fashion shows this fall.”

His Latest Catchword: Unveiled!

But what's up with that hair? Very Tina Fey in “30 Rock The Musical.” You need talent like Tina and Christian to take a ‘do like that and “make it work.”
