Natalia Vodianova appeared as a fairy in yesterday’s closing ceremonies, part of the Russian presentation for the Sochi 2014 games. The presentation also included performers in bouncy glowing orbs.

Christian Lacroix (the label–the man himself cut ties with the brand) is teaming up with various labels to launch four new product categories in hopes to get their profits back on track. Expect to see eyewear, stationary, wood panels and home textiles over the course of the year and into early 2011. [Vogue UK]

It’s official: Sarah Jessica Parker has been named president and chief creative officer at Halston. It’s too early to judge, but Parker seems to have her head on straight with the position. She’s not interested in undermining creative director Marios Schwab, and is frank about her newbie status: “There is a huge amount I don’t know and I am very candid about that, and I am excited to learn.” [WWD]

Kate Moss is set to design a line of handbags for Longchamp to debut for spring/summer 2010. [Vogue UK]

Shots from V‘s upcoming and already over-hyped “plus-size issue” are out. Terry Richardson’s “One Size Fits All” features side-by-side shots of Jacquelyn Jablonski and a not-really-plus-sized Crystal Renn in the same pose in the same outfit. It’s worth noting that Renn out-vogues Jablonski at every turn. [Models.com, via Fashionista]

Fashion stylist is apparently the when-I-grow-up job of the aughts. Except for celebrity stylist, which according to 10 editor Sophia Neophitou is “something you just don’t want to become.” Take that, Zoe-ophytes. [Times UK]

The British Fashion Awards were held in London last night. Christopher Bailey and Burberry were honoured twice: Bailey for British Designer of the Year and his label for Best Designer Brand. During his speech, Bailey announced that he would be showing the Prorsum collection in London again for the fall shows in February. While we were crossing our fingers for the Canadian talent on the nominees list–Mark Fast for emerging ready-to-wear talent and Todd Lynn for Best Menswear Designer–those awards went to Peter Pilotto and Kim Jones for Dunhill, respectively. (Don’t feel too bad for Fast–dressing Julia Restoin-Roitfeld on the red carpet was a win of another kind.)

Kate Moss caused a commotion last night at GQ’s Man of the Year Awards. The model’s attempt to escape out the back entrance backfired when she ran through an interview backstage with rapper Dizzee Rascal. Apparently host James Nesbitt made a jab at Moss about her nude GQ cover, causing her to leave all huffy. [Telegraph]

Men’s Vogue wouldn’t publish a 2006 Juergen Teller-snapped Marc Jacobs ad that featured a gay couple kissing. Starring in the ad was runway makeup artist (and lifetime crush of our beauty editor) Dick Page. The U.S. publication of Marc Jacobs Advertising 1998-2009 by Juergen Teller comes out next week. [The Moment]

If you missed the first Yves Saint Laurent auction in February, there’s a second, smaller sale happening in November. The money will go to charity so there’s really no reason not to snap up Yves’ Mercedes-Benz or Hermès luggage. [Yahoo!]

First Burberry and now Matthew Williamson are taking their spring show to London. [Vogue UK]

Speaking of Christopher Bailey, a Q&A! [Hint]

Since we find Eminem and Bruno equally irritating, we’re officially neutral on the bum incident at the MTV awards. [NY Post]

Can Condé Nast survive in the new media world? We haven’t read the article yet, but we do know they talk to Anna Wintour. [NY Mag]

Kate Moss is lending her vocal stylings to the new Lemonheads album. I know, right? The Lemonheads have a new album. [Nylon, via The Cut]

In other, open-the-vault news, Heathers is coming to Broadway next year. You better show up or it’s keggers with kids all next year. [Fashionista]

If you actually went to a kegger this weekend, 3-D prints might be a bit much for you today. [Style Bubble]
