The age of the campaign exclusive returns, with Lara Stone snagging the fall ads for Calvin Klein Collection, ck Calvin Klein and Calvin Klein Jeans. While the Calvin brand has always been known for its use of signature faces, from Brooke Shields to Kate Moss, Natalia Vodianova and Christy Turlington, this is the first time since Natalia’s reign, that the brand has chosen one face to represent its image across three lines. Given the iconic status of CK’s previous models and Ms. Stone’s seemingly unstoppable world domination, there is no question that Lara will soon be a household name.

Another reason to love Natalia Vodianova. Behind that angel face is the heart of a warrior, determined to do as much as she can to help the children of the world through the power of her beauty. Here’s her new project, Bugaboo Red which helps pregnant women with HIV. “These days, if you don’t take a socially responsible position, you’re out of the club,” says Natalia. We couldn’t agree more!

Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott never fail to create editorials filled with exciting imagery, their latest for Vogue Paris is a candy colored fantasy starring Natalia Vodianova. Styled by Carine Roitfeld, the story features dramatic pieces from Dior, YSL and one of a kind jewelry courtesy of Lydia Courteille. M&M’s signature richly saturated colors serve to make the clothing stand out but is this edit too similar to some of the duo’s other work? Tell us what you think?

We chatted with casting director Julia Samersova about her big Global Action for Children event coming up for Saturday, March 20th. With Angelina Jolie as the honorary chairperson of GAC and the event hosted by Mary Alice Stephenson and Milk Studios, GAC is definitely the charity to keep your eye on. While Angelina won’t be there expect some of the industry’s heavy hitters to come and experience the special events planned for their little ones.

What is Global Action for Children?
Global Action for Children generates awareness, policies and funding so every child has the chance to grow up safe and healthy.

What are your main goals for Saturday’s event?
The main goal is to raise awareness and money for GAC, and to have an amazing time doing it! All of the decor, activities and games have been created to entertain, educate, and inspire the children at a level that can only be describe as AWESOME.

There are quite a few models who are activists (Natalia Vodianova, Liya Kebede, Christy Turlington etc) as well as mothers. Why do you think becoming a mother changes them? Why do think it’s important for these models to become “role” models?
Motherhood puts life into a different perspective and allows you to view and deal with life’s challenges in a brand new way. Patience is the key ingredient in parenthood and in an industry such as fashion, it can certainly come as a refreshing change of pace. These Supermodel Mommies have an amazing platform to speak out on the behalf of a whole range of causes. It’s an amazing position these women are in: very powerful and used properly, very helpful to those who have no voice in this world.

Since becoming a mother a year and a half ago, what has changed about the fashion industry for you?
What has changed is my perception of what is truly an “emergency” versus a “fashion emergency”! It has been amazing to learn to be this “other” person. After a long hard day of work, I am fortunate enough to go home to this little creature and really get my priorities in order. It is a very difficult balance to strike, being a working woman in a demanding industry and a mother and a wife. I have a lot more patience now and that is a good thing!

No one creates more original flights of fancy than Nick Knight, the photographer’s otherworldly style is perfectly suited to showing off the most imaginative pieces and in this month’s British Vogue he crafts an editorial that is pure magic. Natalia Vodianova wears one of a kind designer looks, as she’s surrounded by an abundance of twigs and branches, the presentation is unique, as are the ensembles styled by Lucinda Chambers.

In 2009 Jac Jagaciak had the kind of phenomenal year that any model would hope for and in 2010 she keeps the momentum going with another turn as the face of Calvin Klein. What makes this campaign special – besides the beautiful black and white photography of course – is the fact that Jac is the only girl since Natalia Vodianova to book CK two times in a row. Could Ms. Jagaciak eventually become another iconic CK face right up there with Brooke Shields and Kate Moss? Only time will tell but Jac is off to an incredible start.

Just because we know that you want your campaigns and you want them NOW, here’s a peek at some of the season’s best and most anticipated campaigns during the last few days of the decade. The madness starts again in 5 days.
