WE CAN ONLY EXPECT TO SEE MORE AMBER ROSE - ON HER OWN, WITH HER OWN STYLE. CONGRATULATIONS ! \ SOURCE.

CHRISTIAN LACROIX : IS IN DEEP FINANCIAL TROUBLE, ALMOST $2 MILLION WORTH. FACTORIES WHO HAVE BEEN PRODUCING HIS COLLECTIONS HAVE NOT BEEN PAID, AND LACROIX HAS BEEN DESIGNING FREE FOR MONTHS. HOWEVER LACROIX HAS STILL BEEN DESIGNING A COUTURE BEVY - TO GIVE HIS ALTELIER SEAMSTRESS SOMETHING TO DO - THOUGH HE'S NOT SURE IF HE CAN AFFORD A PRESENTATION. IT'S ALL VERY BAFFLING - BUT WHAT'S EVEN MORE BAFFLING IS LACROIX'S REFUSAL OF BEING HELPED BY ONE OF HIS OWN CLIENTS. THE CLIENT OFFERED TO HELP LACROIX OUT OF HIS FINANCIAL STRUGGLES, TO GET HIS DESIGN SHOW BACK IN ORDER - BUT, WITH LACROIX'S PRIDE IN HIS WAY, WHO'S TO SAY THAT HE WILL HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW WITHIN THE NEXT 6-MONTH'S AT ALL ? \ SOURCE.

INTERVIEW MAGAZINE : HAS A LOT OF SWITCHING AROUND GOING ON - JUST AS ANYTHING ELSE WITHIN THE FASHION INDUSTRY AT THIS TIME. WITH THE FORMER CO-EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, GLENN O'BRIEN, OUT - IT'S NECESSARY TO BRING FABIAN BARON BACK TO THE MAGAZINE - IF THEY'D LIKE TO SAVE IT, THAT IS. BARON WAS FIRED FROM INTERVIEW BACK IN JANUARY, AND TOOK KARL TEMPLER WITH HIM.

SARA ZIFF : AN EX-MODEL, PLANS TO RELEASE THE DIRTY SECRETS OF BEING A YOUNG MODEL WITHIN THE INDUSTRY, THROUGH A DOCUMENTARY SHE'S ENTITLED PICTURE ME. ZIFF WHO EXPERIENCED SEXUAL HARASSMENT ON VARIOUS GIGS, HAS MET OTHER YOUNG MODELS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FROM SOME FAMOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS. ONE MODEL REPORTS HAVING TO GET NUDE AND BEING DEMANDED TO GRAB THE PHOTOGRAPHERS GENITALS, BY HIS ASSISTANT - ALL ON THE FIRST AUDITION. ZIFF, WITH HER CREW, WENT BACKSTAGE AT SEVERAL EVENTS, PHOTO SHOOTS AND SHOWS FOR 5 YEARS SPEAKING TO MODELS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BY LENDING THEM A CAMERA. IT'S UNSURE WHEN THE DOCUMENTARY WILL BE RELEASED - BUT A SUCCESSFUL MODEL UNION IS EXPECTED TO COME FROM THE UNDERCOVER UPROAR - CREATED TO SHIELD MODELS FROM THE ABUSE - IN ADDITION TO STOP ONLY SPEAKING OF ANOREXIA, PARTYING AND DRUGS WITHIN THE MODEL INDUSTRY \ SOURCE.

HOWEVER, THE WITTY, YET STYLISH OFFSPRING HAS VOWED NEVER TO STEP FOOT IN THE FASHION HEADQUARTERS - WILLING TO BE NORMAL AND LOOK FOR A JOB. AT A VENICE PARTY, SCHAFFER ANNOUNCED THAT ACTING SCHOOLS MAY HOLD HER CURRENT INTEREST, WITH HER TOP CHOICE BEING DAVID MAMET'S ATLANTIC THEATER COMPANY. WE FIGURE THIS IS QUITE ODD - BUT, THE GOOD THING IS, IF AND WHEN SHE DOES BECOME AN OVERNIGHT SENSATIONAL ACTRESS - INSTEAD OFF FIGHTING TO GET THE MOST EXCLUSIVE DRESS FROM A DESIGNER - WHICH DESIGNER WILL BE FIGHTING TO DRESS HER AT THE SNAP OF WINTOURS FINGERS ? \ SOURCE.
