This Texas-raised Swede racked up an impressive tally of bookings, including Marc Jacobs, Balmain, and Chanel, after making her runway debut in the leadoff spot at Alexander Wang. Britt ensured her standout status when Guido Palau chopped her tawny locks into an edgy, peroxide pixie cut backstage at Balenciaga.

A Daria sighting on the catwalk paired with a slew of other soon-to-be supers (Freja, Kasia, Anja) in studded leather jackets was enough to grab our attention at the Balmain show this morning. But it was Carmen Kass’ rare runway appearance that really caused us to commence ogling. There was Kass, in all of her statuesque Estonian glory, sporting a new choppy crop! Whoever could have helmed such an amazing, transformational cut on the typically long-haired Kass—the image of whose cornsilk blond, braided strands in that iconic Narciso Rodriguez for Her fragrance ad circa 2007 will forever be burned into our brain? Hairstylist Sam McKnight, of course, the man who gave us the “Aggy” and many other memorable moments in hair. Kass apparently lopped off her locks over the summer, according to her agent, but the wispy cut and fringe she debuted this morning came via a pre-show shearing courtesy of McKnight. Love it. You, too?

Last week the DJ at the Visionaire / Calvin Klein Collection party played " Touch Me" by Samantha Fox..
"Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" was the first hit for British singer Samantha Fox. It was released in 1986 from her debut album Touch Me. The was a worldwide hit, hitting #4 in the U.S. (usually a tough market for international acts), #3 in her native UK, and topping the Australian chart.
In elementary school the more developed boys were really into her. Exposing her ass thru a rip in her jeans made her seem sexually available to men back then. Today that look, with her studded leather jacket makes her seem like the kind of woman (who may not be available at all to a man) who has already placed her order for Balmain fall 2009.
I cannot get enough Balmain and I cannot get enough of this song.
Full moon in the city And the night was young I was hungry for love I was hungry for fun
I was hunting you down And I was the bait When I saw you there I didn’t mean to hesitate
This is the night This is the night This is the time we’ve got to get it right
(this is the night) Touch me, touch me I want to feel your body Your heart beat next to mine (this is the night) Touch me, touch me now
Quick as a flash you disappeared into the night Did I hurt you boy? Didn’t I treat you right? You made me feel so good Made me feel myself Now I’m alone & you’re with somebody else
This is the night, yeah This is the night This is the time we’ve got to get it right
(this is the night) Touch me, touch me I want to feel your body Your heart beat next to mine (this is the night) Touch me, touch me now Touch me, touch me now Touch me, touch me now
Hot & cold emotions confusing my brain I could not decide between pleasure & pain Like a tramp in the night I was begging you To treat my body like you wanted to
Uh.... Uh, it’s begging for you
(this is the night) Touch me, touch me I want to feel your body Your heart beat next to mine (this is the night) ’cos I want your body all the time
(this is the night) Touch me, touch me I want to feel your body Your heart beat next to mine (this is the night) ’cos I want your body all the time
