Raquel Zimmermann's moment is not ending anytime soon: she scored a single feature photographed by David Sims and styled by Grace Coddington in the latest Vogue. AND it is all couture.

Talk about photoshop: the king of pop Michael Jackson is on the cover of October's L'Uomo Vogue, photographed by Bruce Weber.
Justin Timberlake teams up with Beyoncé for a duet in Until The End Of Time (now why not shoot a video sans t-shirt for the song?).

MTV Brazil will be handing out awards tonight at the 2007 VMB. Daniela Cicarelli is hosting the show again, in thirteen different outfits. JT, Fergie, Amy Winehouse, and Fall Out Boy are up for International Artist Of The Year.
Stylist Patricia Field pulled two looks from Alexandre Herchcovitch's spring show for the upcoming Sex & The City movie.
Cao Hamburger's movie O Ano em que Meus Pais Saíram de Férias has been selected to represent the country in the race for Best Foreign Film at next year's Oscars, beating another seventeen entries and the much talked about Tropa de Elite. The movie will make its US debut late December.
The gay couple from the soap Paraíso Tropical is featured on the cover of gossip magazine Flash. According to the magazine, the couple is a sign that times are changing on national TV, and that people are becoming more accepting of gay characters on soap operas. I am only agreeing with that statement once I see gay characters acting like regular gay men, and not just characters added to the story line for the sake of making it more politically correct. Note to screenwriters: watch Brothers & Sisters asap.
Meanwhile in the Northern hemisphere, it is not a gay couple, but rather a leather-clad Last Supper ad that is causing a big controversy.
Mix Brasil selects the best swimsuits to get you through pool party season, which officially starts this Sunday in São Paulo with a special edition at The Week, celebrating the club's third anniversary. Do not miss it if you are in town. I certainly won't.

Brazilian newcomer Daniela Borges was absent in New York this season, but broke into the Gucci spring show in Milan yesterday. Is it a sign of big things to come?
You can always count on Miuccia to change things around, and make you want to dress like it is fall in the middle of spring: it was sort of like and Art Nouveau picnic in an enchanted forest in Japan. The selection of Brazilians on the runway included Jeisa, Raquel, Carolina Pantoliano, Daiane Conterato, and, surprisingly, Isabeli Fontana.
Marc Jacobs had some inventive footwear on his New York runway, but it is Prada who will turn wacky shoes into a big trend come next season.
Is it just me or do the models at the Giorgio Armani show look like they have just stepped out of a steam room where they aged 30 years? And what about the harem pants turned into bermuda shorts?
Is it just me or did Etro look like a Balenciaga redux, pulling references from all of Ghesquiere's collections and adding their own spin to it?
Raquel Zimmermann opened the Alessandro Dell'Acqua show in high-waisted granny pants and gravity-defying shoes. Like Mr. Jacobs, it seems to me that Mr. Dell'Acqua also wanted to explore the world of undergarments through sheer dresses and shirts. Unfortunately the result was not quite the same, especially with all the Japanese references and obi belts. Not his best effort.
Transparency was also on parade at Jil Sander. As much of an ease and a sense of moving forward as there was in the show, I much preferred Raf Simons' fall collection for the label, less conceptual and more in sync with Sanders' aesthetic.
Christopher Bailey took a Gucci sexy rocker approach to spring in one of my least favorite of his collections for Burberry. If it no longer works for Gucci, why would it work for Burberry?
Missoni also sent out one of its worst collections in a long time. It was so boring I stop clicking next before I even reached the middle of the slideshow.
I love all the crisp tailored denims, bohemian prints, and fresh white lace at D&G. If you are a girl looking to channel a prostitute, you will have to look for another label come spring.
At Bottega Veneta, the talented Tomas Maier confirmed that next season a girl will need a shirtdress (or any dress cut below the knee); more specifically one of his with a killer oversized bag in python, or in printed woven leather.
I highly suggest investing in something pink or orange for next summer. The colors have popped up in several runways in Milan, and were also seen in New York (at their best combined in pastel shades in a Michael Kors dress).
Also on your things to buy list: a khaki safari jacket. Every designer reinterpreted it this season.
On your things-to-check-out-now list: all pictures of the shows on Style.com, and Cathy Horyn's blog and her review of the shows so far.
Note to designers: enough with all the ankle boots for summer.

Thanks Ricco for the heads up. One more after the jump.
