It’s too intense to put it in words, so I’ll just slip the cover photos below, few images after the jump and let the visuals do the work! The flawless photography and the impeccable styling were signed by Steven Klein and Edward Enninful respectively. I’m overwhelmed! Kate truly is one of a kind and whoever put this project in motion has my absolute admiration and respect! Fashion, like it’s supposed to be! Enjoy! (more images here)

Kate Moss Good Vs Bad W Magazine March 2012 Covers

Victoria Beckham as photographed by Josh Olins on the cover of i – D magazine “Whatever the weather” issue no 317, Pre Spring 2012 is a refreshingly fashionable yet effortlessly catchy sight (this issue counts nine covers in total, see after the jump). The inside pictorial seems to follow that same idea as I could see from the i – D preview. While Victoria herself shares some thoughts about her fashion line and, biensur, her adorable baby Harper! Am I going mainstream since I’m developing this Beckham – liking (and more)?

i – D Victoria Beckham This Spring 2012!

Mario Testino’s pictures of Lana from the inside pictorial caught the essence of Lana Del Rey way better than the cover photo (check them out after the jump). It’s like they were from two different photo sessions. It’s a mediocre Vogue, so, hopefully, for those who’ll buy the print magazine, the inside content will prove way more interesting than the cover!

Vogue aside, how do you feel about Lana’s music? (I’m loving her self described style: “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” – she’s the very product of today’s fashion web – styled generation!)

I know the images speak from themselves, and that I’m enchanted with Edun Spring Summer 2012 ad campaign’s visuals, however, a small introduction is de rigueur (if you want to skip this, hit the jump to see the images or click here for the gallery): Edun fetes his 7th year this year. The label’s founders are no strangers to environmental activism: Bono and his wife, Ali Hewson; however, somewhere along the road, half of Edun has been added to the LVMH luxury empire. (you may remember a particular Louis Vuitton Journeys campaign with the founders of Edun?)

Nothing, however, prepared me for this incredibly beautiful ad campaign! Ryan McGinley photographed much more than clothes and models – he photographed six different species of butterfly, specific to the African continent (where Edun supports local resources by producing their creations there). A big round of applause for the visionary Jefferson Hack who was a creative consultant and for the gifted Irish designer Sharon Wauchob who acted as creative director for this beautiful campaign!

If I picked up a favorite (more, even) from the white dresses wearers, even from the black dresses, I can’t really say the same about the red and blue dresses! They were either unflattering, ill-fitting, bland, or too much. I’ll try, though! Squeezing in two of the dresses I thought were really nice and the ladies who worn them fairly: Jennifer Carpenter’s red Emilio Pucci dress – refreshingly short, simple, classic cut, lovely fabric work and.. f – lawless Jennifer Carpenter! Representing in the blue corner: Meryl Streep! She’s just amazing! She has this comfy, flattering personal style and she’s sticking to it! Oh, and she’s wearing Vivienne Westwood! (click through to see the rest; check out the gallery here)

Back to red: there were red dresses (like Michelle Williams’s Valentino) and there were crimson, pink-ish, plum-ish dresses (like Sofia Vergara & Julie Bowen or Natalie Portman). I think the reds weren’t great (I said it with Michelle, I’m at it again) – there were few more examples of, although, flawless dresses, totally lacking appeal and glamour (and I’m thinking of Kyra Sedwick in red Emilio Pucci dress or Ahna O’Reilly whose heavily and daringly red cut dress was like an origami waiting to happen). I will say the crimson won – Dianna Agron’s crimson Carolina Herrera was lovely, very feminine and she really worn it well!

Now for the blue ones – most of them are so bad, really! I liked Jane Lynch very much – like Meryl Streep, she found her style and sticking to it! Great! Loving her blue David Meister dress! Diane Lane was lovely in blue David Meister dress too, only a very different style from Jane’s. Very Grecian, very nice. Regina King’s soft purple dress was perfect for her complexion and lovely overall. Ellie Kemper was all shimmery, Jessica Chastain’s Calvin Klein (weren’t we all waiting for her to wear something Armani?) was too simple and too blue – then again, she was in the white / pale camp for the Golden Globes, maybe she wanted something radically different this time? Oh, and Busy Philipps? Busy dress indeed! Melissa McCarthy and Jenna Fischer were representing for the ill – fitting blue dresses while Penelope Ann Miller (and Nancy Carell) should seriously consider some time off from their current stylists!

I included Shailene Woodley soft blue with red flowers dress from L’Wren Scott, Ariel Winter and Aimee Garcia’s gray dresses as well as Emily Blunt’s emerald green Oscar de la Renta. Anyone I’ve left out? (and this concludes this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards Red Carpet report, all with a little visual help from here)

However, since the black dresses were so well represented on the 2012 SAG Awards Red Carpet, I had to pick a best from the rest, aside from my already mentioned weaknesses. And here I go, again picking two dresses: Stacy Keibler’s black lace Marchesa and Jayma Mays black sequined Reem Acra. (hit the jump to see the rest of the black dresses from the 2012 SAG Awards Red Carpet; check out the gallery here)

Sadly, although the dress is flawless and the lady herself is truly impeccable, Stacy Keibler does nothing for me. (nor does her date, d’ailleurs). Jayma Mays I think is lovely all in all and I like her smile. Reem Acra’s sequined dress is a bit too dramatic for Jayma, but looking at the rest of the black dresses, I’m relieved whenever I lay my eyes on Jayma.

Tina Fey’s Versace black dress was like a long lost twin sister of Jane Krakowski’s Antonio Berardi dress. Although beautiful in their own rights, the two dresses, together, on the same Red Carpet, were a certified sartorial fail. And talking about fail – have you seen Heather Morris’ Masai Payan? Oh, what a complicated nightmare of a dress! Glenn Close in black Zac Posen didn’t impress me at all while Ashlee Simpson’s black Jenny Packham spiderweb dress was nice. I just don’t understand what Ashlee’s doing there, that’s all (I know, I know, she’s there as “the girlfriend of…”). Oh, and is it just me, or Amber Heard is a sweeter, taller version of Scarlett Johansson? (again another Zac Posen failing to impress me). Amber Riley. Oh gurl? Whoever told you that dress looks good (on you) needs major style revisions!

If I’d had to pick a favorite, I’d definitely go for Viola Davis in Marchesa. And Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture. Both of them took my breath away. There was even an awkward sartorial moment with Julianna Margulies and Katrina Bowden. The dresses they were wearing were heartbreakingly similar. Only they were different. In details and label (Julianna was wearing Calvin Klein while Katrina Bowden was wearing Amsale. Hit the jump to see both dresses side by side and pick the original; check out the gallery here)

Something unusual for the Red Carpet (at least lately): Rose Byrne. She was wearing a white jumpsuit from Elie Saab and her hair, she said, was inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer circa Scarface. Intriguing, isn’t it? She was wearing it well, anyway! And so was Tilda Swinton who was wearing a white draped Lanvin dress. And who was at the same table as Angelina Jolie – they were like day and night! One dressed in shiny black and the other in bridal white. Interesting!

The charming Berenice Bejo (who I’m dying to see in The Artist!) was dressed in Ralph Lauren. However, something put me off about her outfit and I can’t really put my finger on it! Can you? I could go on like this, but I’m afraid the other white wearing ladies were too bridal for my taste. There was also a handful of soft gray hues or other pale tints which were included in this “white” category: Octavia Spencer, Naya Rivera and Lea Michele are just an example of that. Also including two black & white dresses: Maya Rudolph in Naeem Khan and Emilia Clarke in Chanel.

Kelly Osbourne’s Badgley Mischka – interesting but not my kind; Kaley Cuoco’s Romona Keveza – bridal snowball; Jenna Ushkovitz’s Rebecca Minkoff white flowery – completely unflattering; Naya Rivera’s pale gray Naeem Khan dress – simple and nice; Gretchen Mol’s white L’Wren Scott dress – those golden patches ruined everything! Sarah Hyland’s white – ish Temperley London – lovely, though it reminds me of Miley Cyrus so I don’t think that’s a good sign overall; Judy Greer’s white Collette Dinnigan dress – bridal much? I’ll let you to the gallery, tell me who I’ve missed, please? (the pictures come from here)

What I find it to be great, is that Emma Stone is the one wearing the dress, not the other way around. And that’s something worth mentioning since not everyone can handle the sartorial statement which comes under the McQueen label. I’m not a fan, personally, of this dress length (and ample skirt) – I find it to be doll – ish and, in most fashion instances, unfinished, like something’s missing. However, in this case, the shoes made one with the dress, that’s how much they fit (and that shouldn’t surprise me, the shoes too come from Alexander McQueen)!

It was almost entirely inspired by Amy Winehouse, which we know, was a source of fashion inspiration for many designers and brands (remember her collection for Fred Perry). Jean Paul Gaultier made this amazing couture soup based on Amy Winehouse’s dechiré style, added some corset and lace to spice things up and served it with a pinch of his usual rock’n’roll. As usual, I selected a handful of models I liked the most, but feel free to check out the entire collection here.

In a very Chanel style, he also matched the nail polish to the collection’s (blue) spirit, launching what would undoubtedly be Summer 2012 must have nail polish! Of course there was the usual black & white thing, all in Chanel’s classic manner, there was the usual tweed and sequined elegance, but the key word still is blue (oh, and what about those sequined tights? Would you wear them? And the blue-ish nail polish? the entire collection can be seen here)
