Maternity leave has never seemed so short for models; Heidi Klum walked five weeks after giving birth to her daughter; Gisele was back on the runway six weeks later, and now Jourdan Dunn made her return yesterday at LFW 10 weeks after having a baby boy.

After presenting her fall collection in New York last week, Vera Wang headed to Vancouver to watch U.S. figure skater Evan Lysacek win gold while wearing a Swarovski-encrusted costume she designed for him. [WWD]

While she hasn’t started planning much on the wedding front, Lara Stone has got one thing covered: The model has asked Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci to design her wedding dress. [Fashionologie]
