Supermodel Chic

Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova, along with her husband Justin Portman have put their Manhattan "apartment" on the market. Most New Yorkers are lucky if their apartment is the size of a shoe box, but when you're a supermodel married to a real estate heir, your apartment just happens to be a 4,100 sq ft 6th floor penthouse.
The apartment, located at 72 Reade Street, features an indoor pool, three terraces, a media room, sauna, and an additional outdoor pool. The apartment was purchased for $2.3 million, and currently has an asking price of $11 million. Quite the profit!
Vodianova and Portman, currently expecting their third child, are relocating to London.

Island Inspiration
Drawing inspiration from her home in the Virgin Islands, Jules Smith knows how to create luxe resort jewelry. Smith crafts inspired pieces using precious metals combined with precious and semi-precious gemstones. We love the 3" Chain Of Command Earrings, in gold and silver, available at ShopBop for $161. Perfect paired with a binki poolside or pointy toe pumps for a night on the town, these stunners are versatile.
Jules Smith isn't a ones trick pony -- proven by great design married with quality craftsmanship, her jewelry is a must see. Be sure to check out the Ursula's Garden necklace ($295), featuring a 3" octopus on a 34" sterling silver chain. The Jules Smith online store features more items, including unique rings and bracelets.
We're not the only one falling in love with Jules Smith -- celebrity clients include Cameron Diaz, Nelly Furtado, Drew Barrymore, Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, and Eva Longoria.

The Loss Of Gianfranco Ferre

The fashion community is mourning the loss of Italian designer, Gianfranco Ferre. Ferre was admitted to a Milan hospital after suffering from a brain hemorrhage. He also suffered from diabetes, and two previous strokes.
"I ... particularly admired him for his coherence and the intellectualism and artistry upon which he based his fashion philosophy until the end," said Giorgio Armani. A highly celebrated Italian designer, Gianfranco received the Occhio d'Oro Award (the Italian Oscar) for Best Italian Designer an astounding six times.
Unfortunately, Ferre was preparing to show his Spring/Summer 2008 menswear collection on June 24 in Milan. Celebrate the life and work of Gianfranco Ferre by browsing through his collections available at Style.com.

Pure Luxury
In a season where self tanners and bare skin feel like a must, the routine can be harsh and time consuming. There are a million salt scrubs on the market, making selecting one almost as difficult as finding the right tanning formula. Most are made with large salt granules, and are combined with a heavy amount of fragrance and oil, making it very difficult to wear any fragrance besides that of the scrub. So what's a gal to do?
Borghese has the answer, with their Sali Esfoliante Salt Scrub ($37). This scrub moisturizes while it exfoliates, with a combination of avocado, mango and shea butters to create a creamy texture, without the need for messy oils. Plus, the salt crystals are more refined, leaving your skin feeling invigorated and smooth to the touch. Sali Esfoliante has a light marine scent, making it easy to wear any fragrance of your choice after use.
The Tono Body Creme ($45) is the perfect post-scrub companion to Sali Esfoliante. Tono Body Creme is an extra rich moisturizer utilizing the aromatherapy powers of peppermint, rosemary, lavender and geranium oils to hydrate skin while improving it's overall tone and texture. It revitalizes those pesky dry spots without leaving the skin sticky or oily. Tono is also available in a lightweight lotion formula ($35).
Borghese is currently offering a free gift with any $35 purchase, available at Borghese.com. Long recognized as a leader in at home spa treatments, Borghese also offers the wonderful Fango masks, for Face & Body, as well as Hair & Scalp. Still not convinced?

Gianfranco Ferre Hospitalized

Celebrated Italian designer, Gianfranco Ferre, known for exceptional design and clean lines, has been hospitalized. Ferre suffered a brain hemorrhage, and is currently in intensive care.
While Ferre began his career as an accessories designer in 1970, he was initially trained as an architect. Gianfrano spent 7 years as Stylistic Director of Christian Dior, leaving after the Spring 1997 season. Three lines are produced under the Gianfranco Ferre name: Gianfranco Ferre, Ferre, and GF Ferre.

Project Runway: Coming Soon
In case you haven't heard (or seen), Project Runway is currently in production. Unfortunately, if you're hoping for the final designers to appear at New York's Spring 2008 Fashion Week, you will most likely be disappointed. Due to the shooting schedule, it appears the designers will show in February, though nothing is confirmed yet.
Fear not! Through the magic of the internet, there is still plenty of Project Runway coverage to be found. Our friends at Blogging Project Runway (we love you!) provide coverage on designers and models from all seasons. Not to mention, Project: Rungay does a fabulous job as well, and is always good for a laugh.
No Project Runway post would be complete without a retrospective courtesy of YouTube.
