Party Adventures - Fashion Week Daily - 4:55 pm
Inspi(RED) Models Who Brunch!

Sunday afternoon was all beautiful mommies and their genetically blessed children when Christy Turlington Burns hosted an Inspi(RED) Mothers’ Brunch at The Spotted Pig. Turlington Burns, who was joined by friends and fellow activists Helena Christensen, Liya Kebede, and Mya, spread awareness of the Product(RED) campaign and the its impact on women and children in Africa. As the kids created Hallmark Product (RED) cards and customized their own pair of Converse Make Mine (RED) sneakers, adults dined on hamburgers, French toast, and frittatas.

Liya Kebede's Supermodel Role
Monday, April 28, 2008

Steven Meisel is shooting Liya Kebede today for Italian Vogue's black model-themed issue, but when she wraps, Kebede has another gig already lined up.

The Ethiopian-born supermodel will soon begin work on her third movie, an indie flick entitled Desert Flower. "It's being directed by an German-American named Sherry Horman," she said at Saturday night's White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

"I'm going to Europe in June to shoot it and it's based on the autobiography of the Somalian model Waris Dirie."
Kebede plays the lead role in the $16 million adaptation of Dirie's bestselling autobiography, which traces her rise from a childhood in the Somali desert to the catwalks of the international fashion community and her role as a United Nations spokeswoman against circumcision--elements of which Kebede can relate to as a World Health Organization Goodwill Ambassador and founder of The Liya Kebede Foundation.
