Even though I wish Summer could stay forever, September Magazines are already upon us! Vanity Fair’s September 2009 issue is a double cover issue: Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett take their respective Fallen King and the Fallen Angel covers to honor the two legends who were both taken from us in the same noir day. [...]

Pregnant but not showing it. So many women dream about that! But what are we to do with the moral issues of such strange wanting? We’ll leave it to others. This is fashion, not the moral convention! London Fog’s Ad Campaign Fall Winter 2009 2010 features Gisele Bundchen. Wait, but isn’t she pregnant? She is, [...]

Carine sticks with the safe faces and produces Daria Werbowy for the August main editorial of Vogue Paris. What more could she wish for after launching Lara Stone on the fashorbit? An overall 80s spirited style, Daria Werbowy’s pictures from Vogue Paris were taken by Inez and Vinoodh (but don’t really remind me of their [...]

If there was no Brigitte Bardot, they would have had to invent her and then make Lara Stone pose like BB! Anyway, here’s Lara Stone taking her best poetic shot at Bardotness in W Magazine, August 2009.

Oh, what a royal issue this Vogue Italy July 2009! It seems year after year, the July Issues of Vogue Italia are set to defy any Summer magazine standards and serve amazingly beautiful content. Chilled. I first started with McMenamy, then the Black Barbie special edition, now I’m going back to the supers with a [...]

The long awaited Chanel Coco Cocoon ads featuring the British unconventional songbird Lily Allen have finally surfaced. And I’m not so impressed. Because the bags look so cheap and Lily looks so comme d’habitude (Photoshop-slimmer), it will take some time to adjust to the new Chanel Cocoon, even if they went with Lily’s friendly, smiling [...]

It seems that Summer is the time to shine for Vogue Italy. Last year’s Black Issue was so impressive and successful that this year was somewhat reinterpreted with The Barbie Issue! Everybody’s talking about Barbie this year, everybody’s celebrating one way or the other. But how about Black Barbies? Shouldn’t we celebrate them too? Good [...]

I was very reserved when I saw Kristen McMenamy’s photos from Vogue Italia July 2009. Photographed by Steven Meisel and supposedly being a recognition of her supermodel status, the pictures look pretty frightening. Not because of Kristen. Or maybe because of her. But it all looks so cold, so unalive I can’t think of anything [...]
