| French Model Isabelle Caro, Known For Shocking Anti-Anorexia Capaign, Dies at 28 Posted: 29 Dec 2010 04:43 PM PST
French model Isabelle Caro, known for posing nude for an anti-anorexia ad campaign that ran during Milan Fashion Week in 2007, has died. Though news of Caro’s tragic death just broke today, she died on November 17 after being treated for an acute lung infection in Tokyo, her acting instructor, Daniele Dubreuil-Prevot, confirmed to the Associated Press. The cause of death, and the reason her death is only being reported a month and a half after she died, are both unknown. Caro’s anti-anorexia campaign, shot by Olivero Toscani, made headlines and caused controversy when it ran in Milan in 2007. Numerous reports have stated that Caro weighed just 59 pounds when she was photographed for the campaign, which ran on billboards and in newspapers. According to StyleList, the campaign was endorsed by the Italian Ministry of Health, but designers took issue with it–Dolce & Gabbana said that anorexia has “nothing to do with fashion,” and Giorgio Armani said, “even people who take no notice of fashion get anorexic.” The campaign ran shortly after 21-year-old Brazilian model Ana Carolina Reston died of anorexia. Caro was vocal about her struggle with the disorder. She appeared on CBS News shortly after her shocking campaign ran in Milan. “I’ve been anorexic since I was 13,” Caro said, “I said if i can put my years of suffering to use, then it will not have been pointless…it’s really a warning that this is a serious illness.” Following the campaign Caro also told reporters, “I thought this could be a chance to use my suffering to get a message across, and finally put an image on what thinness represents and the danger it leads to — which is death.” Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

Rihanna To Replace Kate Moss at Topshop?: Rihanna recently had lunch with Topshop’s Sir Philip Green in Barbados so now the Daily Mail is speculating that they might have been discussing a Topshop line for the singer. Um…seems like a bit of a stretch. {Daily Mail} Maggie Rizer Blogs About Her Pups: Maggie Rizer has three golden retrievers–Henry, Albert and Beatrice–and she’s started blogging about them on her site, Bea Makes Three. Cute golden retrievers and models? This is a blog we can get behind. Especially if she brings a kitten into the mix. {Modelinia} Benjamin Millepied Modeled for Mango: Before he became Natalie Portman’s fiance/baby daddy, the City ballet dancer and choreographer did some modeling. {The Cut} Another Spice Girl Launches a Line: Watch out Posh. Baby Spice Geri Halliwell has launched a swimwear line, ‘Geri by Next.’ Somehow we doubt she’ll encroach on Beckham’s reign as the most fashion-y Spice Girl. {Daily Mail} Follow Fashionista on Twitter or become a fan on Facebook.

–Sometimes Prada trumps beautiful natural occurrences like a Hawaiian sunset for Brad Goreski, who tweeted as much today. Check out a tweetpic of said sunset that was not as beautiful as the Prada purchases here. A pic of the Prada shoes and sweater please, Brad, so we can compare?

| Kate Moss Set To Record Solo Album Posted: 29 Dec 2010 12:13 PM PST
Modeling school founder, jam maker, and now rock star? Now that Kate’s wrapped her Topshop line, it seems she’s game to try on many hats other than the supermodel one she wears so well. Last we heard, she said she would like to try opening a modeling school. Before that, it was fruit preserves, with her forthcoming Kate's Damson Jams (still no word on when those jam jars will hit shelves). The latest? Moss is venturing into the music world to record her own album, the Daily Mail is reporting. Of course, it’s not a world that’s all too foreign for Moss–many of her boyfriends, including her current one, Jamie Hince, have been rockers. And she’s dabbled in music before too, singing on stage with ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty at a charity gig in 2009, and guesting on tracks for Primal Scream and The Lemonheads. Most recently, she’s Bryan Ferry’s “Roxy Girl,” the face of his latest album, Olympia, and is rumored to sing a duet with him on his next album.

Each purchase has a special code that allows you to log on and unlock a streaming playlist and fun facts on the artist online at Archive1887.com. Check out our favorite pieces from the collection.
