GIRLS ON FILM: For last year’s launch of Fashion’s Night Out, Anna Wintour drummed up a bevy of New York designers for the public service announcement, and had them filmed against a white studio backdrop. This time around, the mandate was to take the PSA to the streets of New York, with top models navigating the five boroughs wearing designer party dresses and the official Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt, which benefits the New York City AIDS fund.

Trey Laird of Laird + Partners developed the segment, and Peter Lindbergh, who recently returned to Vogue after years working for Harper’s Bazaar, filmed models Karlie Kloss, Caroline Trentini, Doutzen Kroes, Liya Kebede, Karolina Kurkova, Lara Stone, Miranda Kerr, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman, Stella Tennant, Lily Donaldson, Sasha Pivovarova and Jourdan Dunn. “This year, it was really about fashion hitting the streets,” Laird told WWD. “It was important that all of New York City was represented.”

The models were filmed across the city over two days at such locations as PS 1 in Long Island City, the Bronx Zoo, Central Park and Lincoln Center, the new home of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. David Bowie gave permission to use his 1980 hit “Fashion” for the soundtrack, after Laird asked Bowie’s wife, Iman, when the two were working together on the 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards Journal.

The 30-, 15- and 10-second spots launch on network TV, in taxi cabs and online today, and from Sept. 3 to 10 will be shown nine times an hour on the Toshiba screen in Times Square. — Marc Karimzadeh

SUPERMODEL Miranda Kerr is putting family before funds, with experts predicting that having a child now will cost her some lucrative modelling contracts.

The 27-year-old, who is one of the world’s highest paid models, earned more than $4 million in the past year.

But her income in the short term is expected to be slashed as the Gunnedah girl, who is four months pregnant, steps away from the limelight.

Kerr, who has previously said she would like to settle down with actor husband Orlando Bloom, 33, and raise a family, will miss out on fees for photo shoots and catwalk shows.

But Priscilla’s Model Management owner Priscilla Leighton-Clark said Kerr could use the pregnancy as a platform for bigger pay cheques in the future.

“When you reach the level that she has, you can pick and choose your jobs,” Ms Leighton-Clark said.

“Because she is a household name, especially here in Australia, the pregnancy could, in fact, increase

her appeal.”

Chadwick Models managing director Martin Walsh said Kerr could step away from the limelight and make a comeback at her own pace.

“Each model is different but if you look at people like Gisele (Bundchen), it shows that you don’t need to walk away from the industry,” Mr Walsh said.

“It depends on the model but many do step away during the pregnancy and come back later.”

The first paparazzi shot of Kerr’s baby bump is expected to fetch up to $200,000 with Woman’s Day and New Idea competing for the photographs.

Kerr and Bloom wed in July, one month after announcing their engagement.
