Paris notes: Headline-grabbing models are the biggest trend in Paris [gallery]
One of the biggest trends of this Paris runway season has nothing to do with the clothes. Veteran and novelty models have appeared at many shows: Yasmin Le Bon and Angela Lindvall at John Galliano, Amber Valletta, Stella Tennant and Gisele Bündchen at Balenciaga, Anna Dello Russo at Ungaro. But nowhere was the headline-grabbing model message stronger than at Jean Paul Gaultier, who opened and closed his show with the buxom Beth Ditto. The thing about putting larger women on the runway alongside regular models–it always makes the skinny girls look so wrong.

There was a strange moment yesterday at the Tuileries when a crowd of several dozen photographers made their way towards the big white show tent for the Christian Dior Spring 2011 show.

Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone are no longer an item. While there may be “break-up rumours were false!” updates–and the inevitable “rumours that the break-up was false, were false!” updates–Martone maintains, via Twitter, that they’ve been split for about two months. So maybe this time it’s for real. Boo. [The Cut]
The much cackled about Snooki, gossip fodder and star of Jersey Shore, has just been compared to Elizabeth Taylor by fashion writer Cathy Horyn. Why?
