Stunning Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova has added "designer" to her list of accomplishments, with her exclusive shoe range launched on Net-A-Porter this week. In conjunction with chain-store retailer Centro, Natalia created pumps that come in three classic colours — black, nude and papaya — all sporting a subtle crown motif on the back of the heel. Two things make this situation even better: One, the shoes are priced at just $44 and two, all profit from the sales of the shoes will benefit The Naked Heart Foundation, the kid's charity Natalia founded in 2004. Pretty special, right? To celebrate the launch of the shoes, Natalia was the guest of honour at a cocktail party thrown by Net-A-Porter's Lucy Yeomans. Other attendees included Karlie Kloss, Mario Testino, Grace Coddington, Christian Louboutin and Carine Roitfeld, just to name a few. . .

A party is a party, but a Vogue party is one where the guest list reads like a who's who of fashion's most famed insiders.

A party is a party, but a Vogue party is one where the guest list reads like a who's who of fashion's most famed insiders. Last night proved to be just that when the style crowd gathered to watch HBO's documentary, In Vogue: The Editor's Eye. The fashion doco will air in the States on Dec. 6, but we'll have to make do with snooping the party pics.

Must-Watch! In Vogue: The Editor's Eye

Meet Anna Wintour's "secret weapons" — her fashion editors.

Meet Anna Wintour's "secret weapons" — her fashion editors. Commemorating US Vogue magazine's 120th anniversary, In Vogue: The Editor's Eye shines a light on taste-makers and image creators at the iconic glossy. Grace Coddington, who since The September Issue has really stepped into her own, makes a cameo, as do Voguettes Tonne Goodman, Polly Allen Mellen, Camilla Nickerson, Phyllis Posnick and Babs Simpson. Sheila Nevins, president of HBO Documentary Films, said "The exquisite and detailed inspiration that goes into a fashion editor's staging of a photograph was a surprise to us... The images found in the pages of Vogue exist as true works of art and the editors themselves are gifted, yet often unassuming, artists." We're hoping and praying that this fashion-doco makes it way to Aussie screens soon, but in the meantime we might just have to buy the book.

We'd Queue, Too! See Grace Coddington's London Book Signing

Sure to be at the top of many a fashion-fan's Christmas wish list is a copy of Grace Coddington's autobiography "Grace: A Memoir".

Sure to be at the top of many a fashion-fan's Christmas wish list is a copy of Grace Coddington's autobiography "Grace: A Memoir". The flame-haired creative director of US Vogue has been an icon in the industry for decades, and we (amongst many others) can't wait to get our paws on her sure-to-be-a-best-seller book. The queue started outside Browns in London well before the 11am signing was due to begin, and the first 300 copies sold out in hours — leaving Random House staff to frantically re-stock the store. Of writing the autobiography (with the help of co-author Michael Roberts) Grace said, "Funnily enough, the most emotional part was a reading I did for the audio [version], and I got emotional then. It was really weird that I’d been able to talk my way through it and be fine, but then when I read it, like when my sister died and things, suddenly I teared up. That was a long time ago." Dymocks has hard cover copies available now, so we suggest you click to it before they sell out!
