The New Moss: Meet Kate’s Model Sister

Kate Moss´s  younger half-sister, Lottie Moss, has been signed by  Storm Model Management - the same agency as her elder supermodel sibling. Moss turned 16 yesterday, and tweeted a picture of her portfolio page on the Storm website.

"Now that she has turned 16 we are pleased to welcome Lottie onto our client roster on our New Faces division at Storm," a Storm spokesperson told us this morning. "However, as she is in full time education she is concentrating on her exams and this is her focus."

Lottie was 13 when she first caught the eye of scouts, after she appeared as a bridesmaid at her big sister´s wedding in July 2011. Speculation fast emerged that she was due to follow in Moss's footsteps, but her mother and Storm decided that she was too young and her career has been put on hold until now. She is just 5'5" in height - generally considered as small for a model (Kate Moss is a diminutive 5'8") - and has the same high cheekbones as her sister. With blonde hair and wide blue eyes, will her fresh-faced, English rose appeal prove as much as an asset to her as it did a young Kate?

Miley For Marc

Miley Cyrus is the new face of Marc Jacobs. The controversial singer fronts the label's spring/summer 2014 campaign, set on a dark beach in Los Angeles and photographed by David Sims.

"We all just love her and her entire being, her energy, her talent, her intelligence, everything," Jacobs told WWD. "There's nothing I don't like about her. She is just genuine and very natural."

Miley Cyrus For Marc Jacobs

Cyrus is a friend of both Jacobs and his business partner Robert Duffy. She appeared nude in Jacobs's Protect The Skin You're In T-shirt campaign, which raises funds and awareness for skin-cancer research, and presented the duo with the Fashion Group International's Superstar Award in October last year.

The shot features the star pensively staring into the distance on a moody beach, while two models - Natalie Westling and Esmerelda Seay Reynolds - appear in the background. However, Cyrus's casting has disappointed one of Jacobs's key collaborators, Juergen Teller, who refused to shoot the campaign.

"I have worked with Juergen for years and love him as an artist," Jacobs said. "He just didn't want to shoot her."

The Worst Thing About Being Beautiful

Victoria´s Secret and Prada model Lyndsey Scott has spoken very candidly about the best and worst things about being beautiful - and she is in a position to know, having, according to her, transitioned relatively recently from being a "geek" to someone who makes a living from their looks.

"The perks of being good looking: People offer me a lot more freebies, strangers talk to me more often, more people listen to me and laugh at my jokes, and I even have the occasional suitor... all good things," she shared. "On the other hand: would-be catcallers will sometimes skip the compliments and just call me a bitch as I walk by, some women (although very few) are very catty to me from the get-go, and many people are shocked to find out that I'm anything other than an airhead - that I was a computer science major, and that I program iOS apps, for example. Sometimes it all makes me very, very angry. Sometimes even a complimentary catcall can make my blood boil. Sometimes I feel as if I have to prove myself now just as I felt I had to prove myself then."

Lyndsey Scott

Scott - who describes herself as a "model, actress and app developer" - was prolific on the catwalk in 2010 and 2011, walking for Prada, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Erdem, Diane von Furstenberg, Fendi and Gucci among others. But, despite her modelling success, she still finds her newly emerged beauty - and the perks that come with it - a difficult thing to accept.

"It's nice to now have that perspective rare to the newly beautiful - the world is a super-shallow place, yes, but it's pointless to take their snap judgements too seriously because no one deserves to be treated differently based solely on their appearance," she added on  question and answer website Quora. "When I need to feel most powerful, I'll do my hair, throw on a nice outfit, put on a bit of make-up and it helps a disgusting amount. In general, I feel extremely lucky to have been granted this new super-power. But when I'm home and completely myself, when my hair is a mess, when I'm wearing my now broken glasses with the tape in the middle, and I'm up coding at 3am, I could give my middle-school self a major run for her money. I have to wonder, why didn't they like me then when I'm still the same person now? Why do they like me now? How do I know that they like me now? Does anyone actually really even like me now?"

Can Wearable Tech Really Be Stylish?

Wearable Technology  is one of those space-age-sounding concepts that in the Eighties we may have imagined we'd be donning by 2020, but it isn't something generally thought of as stylish - until now. New York label Opening Ceremony has become the first big-name fashion brand to team up with a technology giant - in this case Intel - to create a piece of wearable tech with a cooler edge.

Wearable Technology

From Google's much lauded (and vilified) Glass - featuring a camera and screen worn on the face - which is set to be released this year, to T-shirts and bras that track your heartbeat and weight gain respectively, our clothes have been incredibly busy doing things that they really don't need to of late. Currently the preserve of sporty types keen to make the most of every step they take - and monitor their vital statistics while doing so - wearable technology is set to hit the mainstream this year, and fashion brands are bound to want to make them more aesthetically pleasing.

In September 2012, Diane von Furstenberg collaborated with Google to send some of her models on to the spring / summer 2013 catwalk wearing Google Glasses, but this new release will be fashion's first specially designed product. Although it has not yet been confirmed what the piece will look like, or what it will do for your life, the "smart bracelet" will be released at Barneys, WWD reports, in collaboration with the CFDA (of which Von Furstenberg is chair) and designed by Opening Ceremony.

"The first big story [from the Consumer Electronics Show 2014] is the real inflection point for wearable devices," Accenture's John Curran told the Financial Times. "It is about these devices moving from niche applications and early adopters into much more mainstream products."

Looking For Kate: The Moss Documentary

Kate Moss is the subject of a candid new documentary, due to air on French television channel Paris Première on January 12. The one-off programme celebrates the supermodel's 40th birthday on January 16th.

Entitled Looking For Kate, the documentary will look at all facets of Moss's story so far - including her career and personal life. Leading industry names such as Isabel Marant, Paolo Roversi and Peter Lindbergh will also divulge their accounts of having worked with fashion's most enigmatic model star.

It is not yet known whether or not the show will be aired on British television.

Yves Carcelle Awarded France’s Highest Honour

Former Louis Vuitton CEO Yves Carcelle was made an Officer of the Legion of  Honour on New Year's Day. The accolade is considered France's highest civilian decoration.

Yves Carcelle

Although Carcelle resigned from his role as Vuitton CEO in November 2012 (a position that he had held since 1990), he still works for the French company as vice chairman of art museum Fondation Louis Vuitton - which will open next year in Paris. He also remains on the LVMH executive committee.

Other names to make the annual list include Anthony Chalhoub, Chalhoub Group CEO, and Guerlain perfurmer Thierry Wasser - both of whom were awarded knighthoods, WWD  reports.

Phoebe Philo Leads Fashion's New Year Honours

Phoebe Philo, creative director of Celine, received an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours list, which was quiet for the fashion industry but not for women - who received the lion's share of the honours for the first time in history. Make-up artist Pat McGrath  - famous for her work creating catwalk looks  for major fashion houses, Dior in particular - was awarded an MBE for her services to the fashion and beauty industry, while an MBE also went to Natalie Gibson, textile designer and print tutor at Central Saint Martins.

Elsewhere in the Arts, sculptor Antony Gormley was given a knighthood and actress Penelope Keith - known for her role in Seventies sitcom The Good Life - became a Dame for her charity work, as did fellow veteran actress Angela Lansbury, of Murder She Wrote. CBEs were awarded to West Ham vice chair Karren Brady and actor Michael Crawford - the first actor to take the title role in The Phantom of the Opera- while actress and presenter Linda Bellingham and singer Katherine Jenkins received OBEs. Writer and actress Ruth Jones, who found fame with her self-penned sitcom Gavin and Stacey, was given an MBE.

However, neither David Beckham nor Andy Murray - who had been rumoured to be set to take home knighthoods - featured on the list.
