Cindy Crawford's Daughter Is the First Face of Young Versace

While most 10-year-olds are battling awkward stages and baby fat, there's one little lady who seems to be bypassing all that pre-adolescent drama. Oh my god, no way! Of course, it helps if your mother is Cindy Crawford.

Meet Kaia Gerber, daughter of Crawford and Rande Gerber, who's making major waves as the very first face of the new kids' line Young Versace. This image, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, shows the blossoming beauty in highlights from the spring collection: a leather jacket and a skater skirt with Versace's classic Greek frieze, as well as black socks and sandals (we don't know why either). She looks to be a natural.

The proud mom and original Versace muse said in a release, "I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace," adding that the shoot, which she was present for, was a "fantastic experience."

Would it be frowned upon if we wanted the skirt?

Thairine Garcia

The most talked-about teen right now—14, to be exact—is Thairine Garcia. Already a seasoned veteran back home in Brazil, the newly blonde beauty has graced the covers of the Brazilian editions of Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and Marie Claire. We predict this year will belong to Thairine. (Ford)

Keeping Up with Karlie Kloss

These days you can't stop Karlie Kloss from taking it all off. Having turned 18 a few months ago, the barely-legal beauty has been baring her ballet-trained bod everywhere she goes, from Allure to Italian Vogue. And now, for Hedi Slimane. Here she is, artfully disheveled and tastefully nude (read no T&A), in a private session the two did last month in L.A. Did we mention she's ballet-trained?...

Suddenly, Andrej Pejic Has Knockers

While there's hardly more than a freckle to push up, here's Andrej Pejic rocking knockers in a push-up bra for the Dutch retailer HEMA.

It's the latest coup in a dizzying couple of years for the Bosnian-Australian model who first shot to fashion fame—or at least curiosity—as the bride in Jean Paul Gaultier's couture show last year, followed by runway appearances at John Galliano, Raf Simons and Marc Jacobs. More recently he posed with Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest in a campaign for Brazilian label Auslanders.

While not especially fashion-forward, the two images for HEMA are pretty revolutionary. Other gender-bending mannequins—i.e. the actually Dutch Valetijn de Hingh—have been making strides, but this is probably the first time a male model has been cast in a ladies' lingerie ad. Androgenius!

On Set of the 2012 Pirelli Calendar

Several of your fave supes—Kate Moss, Lara Stone, Milla Jovovich, Natasha Poly, Isabeli Fontana, Joan Smalls—are interviewed in this 21-minute video about the making of the 2012 Pirelli Calendar, shot by Mario Sorrenti, who also describes his inspiration and process at some length. But it's the beauties' voices that may surprise you...

The New Pirelli Calendar: More Taste, Less T&A

Every year the Pirelli Calendar seems to become more and more ubiquitous. There's just something about artistic nudity that gets people in the mood to herald the New Year. But unlike Karl Lagerfeld's rather kitschy mythology-themed calendar last year, for 2012 Mario Sorrenti shot a mix of supes and soon-to-be-supes in a tasteful, intimate beach setting in Corsica.

And so, the twelve brave women selected this year are: Kate Moss (a friend of Sorrenti's since forever), Lara Stone, Milla Jovovich, Isabeli Fontana, Natasha Poly, Margareth Made, Saskia de Brauw, Joan Smalls, Guinevere Van Seenus, Malgosia, Edita Vilkevicute, and Rinko Kikuchi. Each girl is shot twice, with the user able to flick between them. That sound you hear is the din of high-school boys everywhere rejoicing—or something.

Karlie Kloss Takes It All Off

Aw, little Karlie Kloss is all grown up. It seems like only yesterday that, in her first show season, the St. Louis native was gushing about Jason Wu and closing Marc Jacobs. The 19-year-old has long since caught the eye of every designer and photographer in the industry. And with the crossover into legal adulthood comes the opportunity (obligation?) to boast her ballet-trained body in increasingly revealing editorials. Mario Testino was the first to get Karlie in the buff in a fairly innocuous shoot for Allure. Now Steven Meisel has lensed the model for the cover of Italian Vogue's December issue showing quite the bit of asscheek. And inside, nothing but heels and a sombrero.

Sasha Pivovarova Gets a Doodle Job

Rather than get sucked into backstage hysterics, Sasha Pivovarova likes to find a spot and sketch. Her artistic endeavors have been so widely recognized that we wonder if editors can't think of anything else to say about the husky-eyed Russian beauty. A noble pursuit compared to mindless tweeting, even if we have yet to receive our caricature of Karl Lagerfeld or Miuccia Prada. Sasha, get on that.

In the meantime, the model and artiste is using her talents to generate a little interest in Gap. Her drawings will appear on a five-piece capsule collection of underthings inspired by fairytales. Pivovarova is just the latest in a long line of artists who've collaborated with the Gap, which includes Chuck Close and Jeff Koons. Fairytales printed on lingerie and nightgowns. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Tiara Young

Young by name and by nature, Tiara Young is the most talked-about beauty to sashay out of Michigan since Madonna. While the teen is new to modeling, with her look (that channels the 70s supe Donyale Luna) and her name, it won’t be long before Tiara gets her crown! (Trump)

Dutch Model Saskia de Brauw Lands the Next Chanel Campaign

When Carine Roitfeld chose Dutch model Saskia de Brauw to cover her final French Vogue issue, we knew it wasn't the last time the two would be working together. The former editrix turned A-list freelancer has been tapped once again to style the Chanel spring '12 campaign, this time with two new faces: Saskia de Brauw and Joan Smalls.

Boy-haired Saskia left modeling in her teens to pursue an art career in her native Amsterdam. When she returned, she returned with a bang, booking blue-chip runways and campaigns for the likes of Givenchy and Versace. Joan, meanwhile, has been Frida Giannini's go-to mannequin at Gucci since 2010. But if anyone can persuade a girl to walk away from a good thing, it's Karl Lagerfeld, who photographed the duo over the weekend at the historic Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.

The campaign is “all about athletics and the sea.…It’s very modern sportif and in black-and-white," Lagerfeld told WWD. If Carine's involved, it'll be more than just tasteful black and white photography. After all, were any of us expecting this season's Chanel campaign to be Freja Beha Erichsen made up like a cat, perched in a photo booth? Oh, Carine.
