Model, former face of Marc Jacobs' fragrance, daughter to Gavin Rossdale, and girl-who-loves-dancing-in-her-knickers Daisy Lowe, is the latest pretty face to try her hand at design. Joining the ranks of Kate Moss, Elle McPherson, Coco Rocha and countless other cover girls that have gone on to craft their own clothing collections, Lowe's latest project has her following in her own mom's footsteps (the former model has her own line of sleepwear).

Esprit, the boat-neck, nautical print loving chain retailer is looking to attract a new clientele -- specifically that of fashion savvy shoppers more loyal to outlets like H&M or Topshop. The brand "is trying to make an impact with larger, architecturally significant stores and an edgy new advertising and image campaign," says Women's Wear Daily. So, what exactly does 'edgy' entail? Cameos from Julia Restoin-Roitfeld (daughter of French Vogue's Carine Roitfeld who is also the face of Jil Sander's debut fragrance) and model Daisy Lowe (Gavin Rossdale and Pearl Lowe's scion who has starred in everything from Marc by Marc ads to DKNY).

Loeffler Randall is embracing its inner child for resort season. An image of the footwear gems in question arrived in my inbox this morning (pictured here), of which designer Jessie Randall says, "these styles are all about transitioning you from cool weather (the Kay cross-zip bootie and the June lace-up bootie ) to warm weather (the Carlie strappy mignon sandal) to everything in between (the Keira snap platform worn over tights)." Apparently Randall found inspiration in none other than a picture book: "I began by looking at one of my most beloved children’s books called 'Little Blue and Little Yellow' by Leo Lionni.'"

We could dwell on the low lows of NYFW and declare the fashion industry dead and ask who would dream of making available such uninspired wearables! But let's not. Let's instead turn our boozy gaze towards Vivienne Westwood and her Red Label collection, which was on display at the Red Bull Fashion Factory. Such campy glitterati as Boy George, ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, and two of five members of Girls Aloud already have. But maybe you're not the type to buy into celebrity endorsements. Fair enough.

When I was a young suburban twat, I used to watch MTV Cribs, dazzled by how many pit bulls Omarion owned and wowed by how a 17-year-old Bow Wow had like 20 Range Rovers. Now that I'm an older city-dwelling wannabe artiste, I'm more interested in the domestic lives of my own ilk. Especially when that ilk consists of pretty girls. That's why when Zooey Deschanel invites me over, I write stalker-y posts about it. Todd Selby gets it. We're the same, him and me, we just use different mediums. So when I came across this lovely little tour of model Daisy Lowe's East Village domicile, I knew she and I were meant to be. She's practically inviting me in!

Marc by Marc Jacobs’ SS09 ads have surfaced; well, specifically one printed within the pages of Teen Vogue's February ’09 issue. The flesh-friendly photo features Brit "It" girl (and Gavin Rossdale offspring) Daisy Lowe wrapped in solely a sheet, save for a barely visible undergarment. It's the handiwork of photographer Juergen Teller, who shoots all the MJ ad campaigns. The simple scene is significant for two disparate reasons.

Get ready for an influx of flesh this fall. From exposed bras, to hot pants and transparent tops, fashion seems to be embracing the "less is more" philosophy more and more. While flesh-baring tops have been around for some time, "exposed underwear are an entirely new development," says Style.com (that is, if you discount stick-thin, style-setters like Edie Sedgwick, Kate Moss, and Sienna Miller, who have all sported undies as outerwear). While the trend took root during SS09 Fashion Weeks both in NYC and Europe, it's spread among socialites and boldface partygoers (not to mention the street).

British lingerie brand Agent Provocateur is well known for its racy ad campaigns -- past stars of which have included Kate Moss and former Blackbook cover girl Maggie Gyllenhaal. But the label's latest just might take the cake for both vampiest and most likely to seduce. The series, entitled "Tableaux Vivants," looks a bit like Caravaggio meets campy B-horror flick at a high-fashion orgy. And not only that. The campaign stars up-and-coming it-girls/rock scions Peaches Geldof and Daisy Lowe. For a seriously titillating slideshow, see the goods on Fleshbot. NSFW! If the lace, latex thigh-highs, and whips don't get you drooling, you may be already dry.
