2010 is already looking up for Luella Bartley. Not only was she named in the Queen's New Year's Honours list and will receive an MBE, she has just released details of an upcoming book.
The British designer has written a style book, loosely titled Luella's Guide to English Style. Publication of the guide was postponed last year due to Luella's other obligations. Now with more time to focus on the project she hopes to see it released in time for London Fashion Week in September.

Looking every bit the African Queen is Naomi Campbell, who has been captured by David LaChapelle for FLAUNT magazine. The British supermodel and the famed photographer have created a piece of art imagery, which is titled "The Rape of Africa," from his latest exhibition. Click here to see the full fold-out version.
In other brief Naomi news, she is also set to guest edit one of the upcoming spring issues for Vogue Russia. I guess she really is starting to feel at home in her boyfriend's native country.
Beth Ditto stripped off for their first-ever issue, and now Lara Stone is following suit (or no suit as the case may be) for LOVE's Spring/Summer 2010 issue.
