This is Mario Testino’s eye on sporty trendy looks with a little help from the ever-so-lovely Carmen Kass. It’s actually an older pictorial, featured in Vogue’s UK edition, the November 2009 issue (from which you had a visual byte of magical whimsicality with Make Do Mend).
I bring you these not because it was reprinted in [...]

Lara Stone finally gets British recognition and graces the December 2009 cover of Vogue, the UK edition. She’s photographed by Mario Testino and portrayed as a modern day corseted princess.
Though Lara looks stylish and less racy than her usual explicitness, I have to ask, is there a princess-cliché for the December cover chez Vogue UK? [...]

Now that’s a beautiful cover! With a very beautiful Natalie Portman! Oh, I love this girl, her versatility and professionalism! She’s not a fashion ace, but I’m willing to forgive and forget that! Look at her hair, look at her boy-ish figure!
Photographed by Mario Testino, the V Magazine November/December 2009 cover trifecta with Natalie Portman [...]

If Michelle Williams doesn’t ring any bells to you, just think Heath Ledger for a second. She was Heath’s (ex) girlfriend and mother of his daughter, Matilda. What she’s doing on Vogue’s October 2009 cover slightly eludes me.

The highly anticipated and speculated Vogue US September Issue (not that September issue!) is officially introduced to the masses! With Charlize Theron on the cover!
Bringing a celeb for a fashion issue cover is sooo Anna! And even if I like Charlize and the Testino photos look beautiful plus the amazing nature landscape from the background, [...]

Though it’s about a man, it’s not really a Men of Style worthy subject. Because he has yet to prove himself as a man of style. For now he’s just Channing Tatum.
(and yes, we still have Ellington to thank for that, she gave me the idea when she qualified Channing with a “GRRR” … I’m [...]

Christopher Bailey talking you through Burberry’s latest Fall Winter 2009 2019 ad campaign is really something you can’t miss!
Scenes from the campaign photo shoot (by Mario Testino, biensur) and a pretty nervous Emma Watson talking about her grandmother’s enthusiasm over Emma’s Burberry campaign! So delightfully insightful! I may not have had a grannie who was [...]

Gisele Bundchen is Versace faithful. Her Versace ad campaign for Fall Winter 2009 2010 is, however, a tasteless déjà vu with poses/photos outstandingly similar to Versace’s Spring Summer 2008 campaign (starring our very same Gisele).
Baby bump or not, Gisele (or anyone) could pull those ads like a wonder! Let’s call it dangerous economy or bad [...]
