Since Victoria Beckham is one of my favorite (and valid) celebrity designers, I won’t be making any snide ladder climbing metaphors about her new Emporio Armani underwear campaign that just came out this morning. The images are quite the opposite of last season’s, which featured the global brand ambassadors languidly smoldering in some sort of boudoir. The latest pics, also shot by photog pair extraordinaire Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, are somewhat more athletic in nature: Mrs. Becks climbing a ladder sporting a gravity-defying ponytail, heels and not much more, and the pair posing with an enormous rope that I’m associating with the one that you were required to clamber up in grade school gym class. The couple (who together make a cool 32 million GBP for their work) certainly do justice to the unmentionables, and their perfect physiques make you want to hit the gym or perhaps move to an alternate airbrushed universe. What do you think of the new ad?

Rihanna doesn’t take her job as fashion icon lightly. When the modish multitasker stepped out in Balmain over the weekend in New York, she hit on no less than three of the upcoming season’s major trends in one look: the biker jacket, big shoulders, and the eighties revival.

Should we add Gwen Stefani to the mile-long list of Ann Demeulemeester fans? The singer, who is currently on tour with No Doubt, sported this chic update to her signature look while performing earlier this week in L.A. The graphic white and black palette, asymmetric jacket, and menswear silhouette nod to Demeulemeester’s recent collections, and the triple-lace boots look like they’re straight off the Belgian designer’s Paris runway. But we love how Gwen made them her own: the DIY-hemmed white tank, blue bra, and wallet chain are straight outta Orange County. Does it work? Or should she stick to the rasta-punk-ska style she’s known for?

Attention store buyers, PR assistants, fashion student interns, sample-room specialists, shipping teams, etc., etc.: If you’re in New York tomorrow and you’re free at 5:30, get yourself up to Times Square and grab your 15 minutes of fame. The organizers of Fashion’s Night Out, the citywide shopping extravaganza happening on September 10, are shooting the grand finale of a public service announcement about the event that will run on TV, online, and in taxis, and they want you to star in it—after all, you’re the people that Fashion’s Night Out was dreamed up to support. The first 200 people to show up at 39th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues will receive a Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt. Your RSVP is essential; e-mail rsvp@cfda.com.
