Kerry Washington, Jamie Foxx Go Django Unchained For LA Confidential

Django Unchained is to be released on the very Christmas Day this year. Until then, private screenings have been organized and the movie has been tested on the critics. It went super well. But then again it’s natural – a Quentin Tarantino movie is an event in itself. Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington both star in the western drama. And so here’s their Django Unchained LA Confidential cover! Video.

Something happened in the Russian fashion press ever since Naomi Campbell moved there? Or is it just me? Because seeing her Interview with Kate Moss and then discovering that the stunning Ataui Deng is also part of the issue makes the think that it’s not just me.

Photographed by Elle Muliarchyk, Ataui was styled by Gro Curtis into a colorful yet dramatic pictorial that could very well double as a beauty ad campaign. Could it not? I’m really charmed by the contrasts (also a big fan of Deborah Lippmann nail polish – wink)!

When Rihanna was saying something about her getting involved in the fashion industry, she was clearly not talking about singing at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Nop. It was about more than that. And here’s a first glimpse at Rihanna’s collection for River Island. There’s even an associated ad campaign photographed by Mario Sorrenti with Jourdan Dunn and Ataui Deng. And Rihanna. Expect a lot of clothes but not much fabric (wink). {telegraph}

If you’re looking for a very Twilight Christmas present, look no further than Bed Bath & Beyond. Because that’s where you’ll find Bella Swan’s engagement ring. Or Edward Cullen’s Cullen Crest ring. Or The Wolf Pack jewelry.

And to make it more appealing, whoever is behind this ‘Fine Jewelry’ collection that’s supposedly ‘Honoring the Twilight Love Story’ thought about making two versions for almost each item in the Twi – range: one posh, one not. For instance, Bella’s Engagement Ring in silver & white topaz is available for $150 while the 14k gold & diamond version is $3,300. What? You’ll have all the eternity to pay for that four – figures engagement ring!

Carine Roitfeld seems to be really enjoying her free lancer status. After 10 years chez Vogue Paris, Carine has embarked on so many projects, she’d even make Karl Lagerfeld jealous! One of them, for W magazine, is transforming ze grand Carine Roitfeld into an haute couture client, trying for haute couture clothes and fitting the frocks to her personality. Magnifique, you might enjoy it too!{hypebeast}

Christmas is not even here (well, closing in) and Mother’s Day ad campaigns are already in post – production mode. The iconic Jerry Hall and her youngest daughter, Georgia May Jagger posed together for Sunglass Hut’s Mother’s day 2013 ad campaign.

Against a bright yellow backdrop, all dressed in black with cat – eyes shades, the two blond beauties seem to really impersonate the message they were hired to transmit from underneath those shades. And that, according to wwd, is ‘energy and emotion’. Trouble is, that with famous pairings like that, you rarely get the emotion you need to push you out the door and into the nearest sunglass hut store…

Or maybe because it’s a web – exclusive campaign, you don’t need that much emotion? Hmmm…

It’s hard to let go of them comfy Converse when the cold weather arrives so this must be why I want to talk about Converse right now.

That and also because their Spring Summer 2013 collection was just shown in absolute premiere in China. On of the best news? The Converse Marimekko collection still goes strong. And who doesn’t love a pair of flowery sneakers?{freshnessmag}

I think something happened to me this month: I keep seeing magazines I really would want to hold and to have. In paper! That’s something unprecedented in the last… umm.. 20 years! (can’t believe I’m saying that. Out loud! Oh well)

And I’m also having my heart set on guest edited magazines issues, I’m sure that’s not a coincidence either! Vanity Fair January 2013 issue was guest edited by Judd Apatow and it is – as you may guess it – a special comedy issue. The photos were brilliantly executed by Mark Selinger and as far as the cast goes… Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell and the girls – oh, the girls! Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Mann and Megan Fox. (check out the larger images in the gallery, here!)
