Fashion News Alert: Naomi Cancelled, Calvin Klein’s New Fragrance Campaign, and Armani Celebrates 80

Will Naomi Campbell have to hit the road? Well, it seems the British version of “The Face” may have had the wind pulled out from under the show when Sky Living cancelled the upcoming season.

“The Face was a brilliant show, which I am very proud of, but as is sometimes the case we have to make difficult decisions and so it is with regret that I confirm it won’t be returning for a second series,” Antonia Hurford-Jones, director of Sky Living, said today. “I’d like to take this opportunity thank Naomi and all those involved in making the show, and assure Sky Living customers I remain committed to bringing them the very best in new US and UK entertainment.”

Now, the prevailing question is if cancellation in the US is pending? Hmm, time will tell!!

REVEAL Calvin Klein is revealing

Calvin Klein has just released images of his new fragrance campaign. REVEAL Calvin  Klein features Doutzen Kroes and Charlie Hunnam wrapped seductively around each other.

While the print campaign shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, only exposes Hunnam’s muscled back, the television commercial reveals a lot more. Hunnam was originally pegged to play Christian Grey in the much-anticipated 50 Shades of Grey. Jamie Dornan, another Calvin Klein hunk, replaced Hunnam in the coveted role.

Still, consumers will get to see a lot of Hunnam in the REVEAL Calvin Klein TV spot. Would you expect less from Calvin Klein?

80 is the charm
