Agyness Deyn tops Tatler’s best dressed list

This year’s It model Agyness Deyn knocked Kate Moss off the top of the Tatler’s best dressed list. The UK publication named the 25 year old new jack heir to the fashionista throne chic and cool style saying,”whether she’s sipping chai at the Russian Tea Rooms in Primrose Hill or kicking back at Henry Holland’s studio, She’s fash-fabulous… Rockin.”

So who’s your fashion favorite? Agyness or Kate?

ANTM Winner Saleshia in Seventeen Magazine [scans via Concrete Loop]

I stopped watching America’s Next Top Model the season after Dani (love her!) won. It just got too campy and too ridonkulous and we all know these girls aren’t about to become real models anyway.

Nevertheless, ANTM Cycle 9 winner Saleshia Showers got her Seventeen magazine cover and fashion spread — Tootie wig and all.

Meanwhile, back at the bunny ranch, Cycle 1 winner Adrianne Curry covers the January ‘08 issue of Playboy magazine. Those photos aren’t here because they don’t involve clothes.

The annual Pirelli calender has finally been unveiled, although a bit more modestly than in years before.

The 2008 calendar was dedicated to China with a “pearls of the Orient” theme and shot entirely in Shanghai.

The photos are meant to celebrate traditional Chinese beauty, but run into a bit of cultural confusion with some models styled with geisha-like white faces one might expect in Japan.

Photographer Patrick Demarchelier chose an East meets West summit of fashion’s hottest faces — Agyness Deyn, Coco Rochas, Doutzen Kroes, Gemma Ward, Sasha Pivovarova, Lily Donaldson, and Catherine McNeil plus models Mo Wan Dan, Du Juan and actress Maggie Cheung.

This year’s calendar has a lot less sex and much more of a fashion editorial feel than previous years. I’m not sure if that’s because it’s dedicated to China, a more modest society, or for some other reason, but I certainly miss the sexed up version.

If you’ve got your hands on a coveted Pirelli calendar, you are a very posh chick. The calendar is not for sale and is gifted to a select list of Pirelli’s VIP clients and associates.

The rest of us will just have to view the 2008 Pirelli calendar online.
