Amongst the salmon-colored sheaths and boyfriend blazers, Iekeliene Stange carried a bag full of rubber ducks, Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman chatted the gig away, a brass band provided music, and a hot dog cart supplied provisions, setting the mood for a carefree collection.

To see how many models can fit on one park bench (and more of the collection, too) check out the gallery below.

Coco Rocha To Participate in CFDA-Hosted Health Discussion

>> In February 2007, Natalia Vodianova participated in a CFDA panel discussion on the issue of dangerously thin models, where she ended up admitting that her modeling career had induced weight loss to the point of hair loss.  Last month, Ali Michael spoke out about her modeling-induced issues with food, and how they caused her to lose her period.  Now, Coco Rocha is becoming the latest model to address industry health concerns.  Along with Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Kors, she is part of a panel discussion hosted by the CFDA on June 10, dubbed "The Beauty of Health: How the Fashion Industry Can Make a Difference."  I wonder what revelations, if any, will come out of that .

Vogue Italia Says Viva La Linda

>>  Amidst all this hubbub about the upteenth return of the supermodels, Linda Evangelista has turned up on the June 2008 cover of Vogue Italia.  She stars in "The Duchess," styled by Andrew Richardson and photographed by Steven Meisel.  It's not my favorite — a little too matronly — but how much does she look like Carolina Herrera in the bottom left photo?  Also, how cool is the surrealist Philip Treacy hat she wears on the right?
