We're crazy in love with these new faces

Georgie
Ebony beauty Georgie is turning heads wherever she goes. From the West African nation of Burkina Faso, the statuesque stunner and Miss Africa of 2005 can be seen in the Moschino campaign, shot by Peter Lindbergh, and recently posed for Russian Vogue and MAC. We're told in her spare time, which has to be very spare, she cooks up tasty African dishes.

Kamila Filipcikova
Bratislava-born Kamila Filipcikova is set to sizzle. After appearances in Pop and Prada's spring show, Kamila shot Alberta Ferretti's spring campaign with Steven Meisel, who also shot her for the March cover of Italian Vogue, seen here (Kamila is on the left). Expect to see a lot of her when she walks the best Paris and Milan runways for fall.

Paul Pavlovska
She's been modeling for only a month, but Paul Pavlovska has the femme fatale look down, despite her masculine name. The future is blindingly bright (and blonde) for the Ukrainian mannequin.

Egle Tvirbutaite
Leggy Leo Egle Tvirbutaite has walked for miles on fashion's most prestigious catwalks. The Lithuanian's runway resume reads Givenchy, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Chloé, Nina Ricci, Alexander McQueen and Gareth Pugh. Look for her in W magazine or in the recent archives of Another, Italian Vogue, Numero and Self Service. Unstoppable.

Sarra Jane
Latest on the Canadian model assembly line is pale brunette Sarra Jane, a Scrabble buff who's already been scoring points back home with multiple appearances in Flare and Canadian Elle (and one coming up in Italian Elle). The Ottawa native will win big soon enough.

Brittany Jursic
Offbeat beauty Brittany Jursic marches to her own drum. The wall-bouncing brunette has ambition aplenty and is certain to make the folks back home in Griffith, Indiana, beam with pride.

Israela Avtau
Israela by name and Israeli by birth, this exotic bird can't be caged. With a recent shoot for Allure magazine, it won't be long before the golden-skinned sensation lands a beauty contract.

If Rad Hourani were writing this blurb, it would be over already. That's because, for the soon-to-explode French-Canadian designer, it's all about extreme minimalism. Thus, the concept behind this one-size-fits-all, unisex, sleeveless T-shirt—printed with the dates and times of a calendar—is that it can be worn by anyone, anytime.

 Shoptart
You might think, given his collaboration with leather-goods house Schott, that Jeremy Scott is going butch. After all, Schott created the biker jackets worn by Marlon Brando and James Dean. But no, that manly legacy is given a swishy twist, like this rococo tea print of treasure trolls in pastoral repose. Also this month: Marni, Stella McCartney, Tom Binns and more.

Message Boards
"Madonna starves herself on a raw macrobiotic kosher vegan kaballah diet and works out three hours a day to maintain the physique of a 12-year-old gymnast boy, and then has the cheeks of a 300-pound woman implanted into her face. And her forehead is like a plastic baby's bottom. It's like Nicole Kidman's forehead at the height of her botox addiction, and we all remember how unfortunate that era was."
