W’s magazine version of a controversial pictorial brings an artist in the spotlight: Maurizio Cattelan. As opposed to the bad-taste controversy offered by Vogue Paris with Lara Stone, Maurizio Cattelan portrays sweaty armpits and religious matters on glossy fashion magazine paper reality. As I am an already declared fan of funny art, art that makes [...]

Gathering material for W’s Uma October Issue brought me to some archive pictures with Madonna. From April 2003, W Magazine. Also photographed by Steven Klein. I wouldn’t normally bring this into attention for it’s already old news, however, this time is different. Really different! Unbelievably acrobatic, the pictorial hurts. And her words hurt even more. [...]

Have I told you I really like Uma Thurman? I guess so. Nevertheless, it won’t hurt saying it again: I really, really like Uma Thurman! As Tarantino’s girl, she was perfect! W Magazine brings Uma on the cover of their October 2009 issue, as photographed by Steven Klein. Dramatic, somewhat sad and glittery, the pictures [...]

I really like these Steven Klein pictures even though Lara looks like she’s holding her breath (or sucking [...]

I’m an optimist, incurable and my face looks cut out to smile so I can’t appreciate this kind of moody, semi-dark pictorials (starring Bruce Willis). Taking tattoos/piercings/fetish at such a next-art-level is somewhat dangerous if [...]

Dressing like Mary Poppins for the cover or W Magazine, didn’t announced the 60s Rock’n’roll ispired pictorial, but Amy Adams pulls it with grace and authenticity, just like she pulls that strange Marc Jacobs outfit on the cover. W Magazine’s May issue takes Amy Adams, adds fashion and gets a sweet, retro pictorial just like [...]

After seeing that mind blurring, moral shadowing March W Magazine with Madonna and Jesus Luz, Drew Barrymore’s cover for the same magazine is true bliss! Blunt, fashion-less, démodé, Drew Barrymore’s cover picture (or any other picture from this W magazine’s spread) are meant to wash the shame of her Madgesty issue. To my eyes at [...]
