Lolita Cool

Right this minute DNA's Natalia V with her baby Brooke Shields glower, (a look that is about to become a fashion world staple) is looking like the girl most likely to succeed. With a pocketfull of Fall campaigns to her credit (Versus with Steven Meisel, Anna Molinari and A/X with Terry Richardson, Moschino with Patrick Demarchelier, TSE Surface with Carter Smith, and Philosophy with Paolo Roversi) and a suite of killer editorials pending (W magazine with Jenny Gage and Joe McKenna, Harper's Bazaar with Craig McDean, Vogue Nippon with Terry Richardson, Paris Vogue with Nathaniel Goldberg and Teen Vogue with Tom Munro) come September look for this nineteen year old Russian beauty to blossom into full fashion stardom.

It had to happen.
Now that a fetish for high design is making inroads into the contemporary fashion-scape, it was only a matter of time before we would have our first "brand name" architect. And who would the recipient of this ground breaking status be? None other than OMA maestro Rem Koolhaas. With a co-venture of an Ian Schrager hotel venture set to remake the Astor Place landscape in downtown Manhattan, and his long awaited Soho Prada store still promising to make its debut this summer, it seems our esteemed Dutch master is the man of the minute. And as conclusive proof that downtown trendsetters are going Rem crazy, here comes a first sighting of avant-garde outfit ORFI's new "I Love Rem Koolhaas" T-shirt. Wish we've had that on hand when we were photographing Anouck.
