Kate Moss Earned $18 Million in 2012: Although Kate Moss has been a supermodel for over two decades, this past year she has been busier, and more successful, than ever. Bringing in a total of $18.17 million (£11.72 million), Moss nearly tripled her earnings since 2011. In 2012 alone, Moss starred in campaigns for Salvatore Ferragamo, Mango, Rag & Bone, and Dior Addict, and launched her own Rimmel London lipstick line. The year 2013 may be even more profitable for Moss's success streak: the model has campaigns for Stuart Weitzman, Versace, Givenchy, Matchless, and St. Tropez; she has also published her own book and launched a line of cellphone accessories.

Jason Wu to Launch Makeup Collection With Lancôme: Jason Wu is collaborating with Lancôme on a color cosmetic line to be ready for the fall. Launching in September, the line will make its first appearance at New York Fashion Week. Excited to incorporate makeup into his brand, Wu told WWD, "I think make-up is one of the closest parts to fashion—it goes hand in hand in almost every single case." He also compares his designs with the Lancôme brand, stating: "In so many ways Lancôme shares a lot of the same DNA as my brand—it's feminine and there's something quite classic about it that never gets old. I see those qualities within my own designs." [WWD]
