>> Ryan McGinley, Rodarte Collaborate for Olympics Shoot —Ryan McGinley, who has a history of shooting Olympic athletes — he contributed a portfolio of the US Olympic Swim Team back in 2004 to the New York Times Magazine — revealed at Art Basel over the weekend that he's at it again: “I've been in Utah. I've been shooting for the Winter Olympics, and I got Rodarte to make me the outfits. It looks crazy!” [Hint]

>> Vogue Editor Antics: The Alexandra Shulman, Aliona Doletskaya Edition —It's fairly often that a Vogue editor will run a topless photo of a woman in her magazine, but it's not often that the editor goes in for that type of thing herself. Not so for Russian Vogue's Aliona Doletskaya, who's on the cover of Moscow-based Blacksquare, wearing nothing but a little jewelry. As for mixed messages, British Vogue's Alexandra Shulman says in an interview out over the weekend: "Vogue is not my personal taste, really. I think of it more as a kind of newspaper. It's reporting on what's out there, to some extent, with me editing." [Fashin, Guardian UK]

>> Sophie Theallet, who took home the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize of $200,000 last month, sat down with Cathy Horyn to discuss what she plans to do with those new funds.

Her experience designing knitwear for Jean Paul Gaultier and assisting Azzedine Alaia has spurred her: “I want to do some knits.”  She also wants to set up a showroom during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week to meet with international buyers.  Theallet isn't, however, looking to expand her line significantly or move into a larger workspace (she currently works out of the living room of her Brooklyn apartment).

As for the year-long mentorship she's awarded as part of her win, Theallet wants to work with Oscar de la Renta, because his company "focuses on craftsmanship [and] has a studio atmosphere similar to that found in Paris."

>> David Lynch for Christian Dior; Martin Scorsese for Chanel? —Just last week, Marion Cotillard and John Galliano were in Shanghai to film the next installment of the Lady Dior saga under the direction of David Lynch (the first segment was done by Cotillard's La vie en rose director Oliver Dahan).  Now comes word from Fashionista that Chanel — which has a history of pairing directors and their muses together, most recently Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Audrey Tautou — may be working with Martin Scorsese on their next commercial segment. No word on which lady muse he would work with, but Imaginary Socialite's hint may corroborate: "Chanel abandons models for really pretty “real” girls? Thank you, Mr. Director."
