When it comes to Gisele and the paparazzi, even a simple stroll in New York’s Village becomes an event. Recently spotted in the company of her boyfriend (American footballer Tom Brady) as they emerged from Rag & Bone after a dash of retail therapy, hordes of paparazzi were tripping over themselves to ensure they captured a shot of this extraordinary mademoiselle doing a somewhat ordinary thing. The couple has been dating since late 2006, and despite various rumours of an engagement and pregnancy, the Brazilian beauty recently told Vogue España, “I’m happy as I am. Why is the whole world worked up about my getting married? I’m having a great time and I want to enjoy it.”

Speaking of Rag & Bone, this Kentucky-born label is a hot favourite amongst celebrities such as Charlize Theron and Kelly Osbourne, who were spotted in the front row of the label’s S/S 09 show held earlier this month in New York. This latest collection, inspired by the designers’ native home of England, featured fitted leather jackets, studded cuffs and miniskirts, as well as exposed zippers and braces for men. Perfect for adding a touch of sophisticated grunge to next season’s wardrobe.
