Dutch model 19-year-old Bette Franke crossed the fashion line in Vogue's new take on military, in October's More Dash Than Cash, shot by Kai Z Feng. She arrived at the shoot wearing an off-duty model's uniform - nautical top, trusty YSL downtown, Converse and a loose up-do - and was transformed by hairdresser James Pecis into a glamorous crimped patriot. In addition to admiring the transformation (we want that amazing volume), we couldn't help but notice James's very cool and colourful tattoos. His own hair was covered up by a fetching porkpie hat, which was once a trilby - "I steamed the felt rim so the hat became softer and cut off the brim," he explains. Now, that is the spirit of More Dash Than Cash!
Michael Kors takes time off to be snapped for Vogue, as he prepares for tomorrow's show. His spring/summer 2010 collection promises pastels with an edge - look out for lavender and pistachio hues, mixed with asymmetric cuts and slivers of transparent Perspex. "We don't want it to look like an old lady at a garden party," he quips
We found Tavi Gevinson, the sensational 13-year-old blogger of The New Girl in Town, outside the Zero Maria Cornejo show yesterday. I asked her what her favourite show so far was, and she replied that it was the Y-3 show on Sunday night, whereYohji Yamamoto came on stage to kick a football at one of the photographers picked out from the pack. Gevinson told us she was wearing vintage, which she found in thrift stores near her home in Chicago. I asked how she was coping with all the new attention. "I'm not crazed about it, and I haven't got used to it, but it's OK," she told me, standing next to her father, who is chaperoning her round New York, and waits patiently outside each show. We love dads..
