With or without Olivier Theyskens, the Nina Ricci brand is marching on. The French luxury house debuted its latest high-end fragrance Ricci Ricci that will launch this summer. The mostly floral scent has tough shoes to follow after the success of the house’s Nina perfume aimed at the younger beauty lover and the iconic L’Air du Temps. The company is betting on the heart of the scent, belle de nuit or the “four o’clock flower,” along with notes of rhubarb zest, bergamot and sandalwood. Well and having photog Sebastian Kim shoot Jessica Stam as a kitty-meets-she-devil doesn’t hurt either. Continue…

Raquel Zimmermann proves once again why she’s a pro. The Brazilian stunner plays herself and herself (albeit a manlier version) in the upcoming Fall ’09 campaign for Jean Paul Gaultier.

Hanne Gaby Odiele stars in the campaign sitting on the back of a (no doubt luxurious) truck. Continue…

It’s easy to take a pretty girl for granted. But take model Rosie Huntington-Whitely who lit up the camera for photographer James Meakin’s spread for Exit Magazine. Huntington is better known for her Victoria Secret spreads, but as Adriana Lima proved when she went goth for Givenchy, a pretty girl can do edgy too. Continue…

The Beckhams are not only parents to three sons (Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz), but they’re a husband and wife modeling duo too. The Emporio Armani Underwear Fall/Winter 2010 images (shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot) feature Victoria and David in their underwear, naturally. Interestingly, David looks like an haute sailor with all those tattoos and Posh is made up to have an Asian flavor with a tightly pulled back topknot. Makes for a naughty pairing- just the kind we like.
