When the rumors about a new Vogue with Kate Moss promised a Brigitte Bardot look for her I felt disappointed. The eternal lack of originality disappointment.
Then again we’re talking a vacation issue somehow, clichés are the assured success. Or not. US Vogue is stubbornly committed to shred everyone’s conception about age and looks into photoshop pieces and throw them to the crowds. They’ve done before, they’ll do it again. And again.(two more images follow after the jump)

We breathe some models air after long celeb-other-than-models covers.
Lily Donaldson covers UK Vogue for August. Looking rather fresh. Icy fresh. I thought the IT color for fingernails was neon pink this summer. And here comes Vogue’s Lily Donaldson to prove that blue’s alright too. What to choose? Neon pink or dreamy blue?

I always looked at Nicole Kidman in her movies (and not only) and wandered what made her so fake and what could bring her to life, somehow.
These Leibovitz fairytale-ish pictures don’t make any exception. Not only Nicole parades her botox-ed lips, but she looks, as always, like a wax statue. It’s sad, I think, since she’s surely not an ugly woman, her figure continues to be stunning at her age, but there’s always something fake about her.
I must say, however, I like the unfinished air of the pictures.
Unmistakably signed Annie Leibovitz, they show the set, the lights, the décor and that is one lovely way to build a very artistic photo without making it too obvious. So I remain charmed by the technique, the layout, but not by the characters. Leibovitz has a weird way of taking the focus out from the subject of the photo and put it on the picture itself.(via style.com/vogue)

I guess today I can let myself SATC go.. Since everyone will talk about it to exhaustion, let’s waste the subject!
Soooo, Sarah Jessica Parker on US Vogue cover for June! Refreshingly old, refreshingly bad looking, refreshingly gross pose all signed gloriously by Annie Leibovitz. It wasn’t that long that I asked myself (and everyone else) what was the story with the Miley Vanity Fair’s pictures, now this?! Well, Annie middle-name-Controversy Leibovitz, hasn’t this movie had enough publicity already? They felt you could be helpful? Then something’s wrong with the movie…(or with Sarah? You judge, after seeing both pictures!)

I guess when playing a part in a superhero movie (Ironman, set to appear this summer) gives you superpowers too (or at least makes you wish you had some).
Like for instance the power to be as beautiful as you’ve never been before, to proudly go and show new self to the world, all dressed up like the alien queen (Oscar de la Renta pre-fall 2008) on the Vogue Cover.
I have rarely seen a cover title so appropriate for the cover itself “When Good Work Goes BAD”. Or “Photoshop meet Gwyneth, Gwyneth, bye, darling!”. Oh, Anna W, you’re playing God, dear? Can’t just make people up all over again!
What do you think? Does this cover reminds you of real-life Gwyneth?

Remember those SATC days when Vogue was feeding us more than the usual burger? Forget that! Forget your favorite blogs, the IG accounts you’re addicted to! Google is now telling us what the next fashion trends will be!
Google is telling us where to eat, when to go, how to drive… now it’s telling us what to wear! Believe it or not, it’s Google’s second year at publishing the next Fashion Trends! It is but a work of putting together numbers and cookies all meant to help the consumer pick faster, shop faster, wear faster. Think. No. More. Google has your back!

I was appalled! That Met Gala Red Carpet was a disgrace! I keep telling myself I should be more diplomatic and accept more as the years go by. Instead I get increasingly more nervous and annoyed by the new perspective on fashion and style via celebrity! I’ll tell you more about it!
So the new Metropolitan Museum Of Art’s Costume Institute Exhibition this year (from May 6 through August 14) is about Fashion in the Age of Technology. Suggestively titled ‘ManusxMachina’, the exhibition could actually surprise you, as aptly presented by its curator, Andrew Bolton ‘I think people are expecting the exhibition to be about robots, and it really isn’t about that at all. It’s about rather subtle hidden technologies.’

I’m generally very relaxed with magazines stories and what they’re trying to sell us. After years of drooling over the pages of this and that magazine, I’ve come to the only natural conclusion I could, in the era of the Almighty Internet: I’m not buying fashion magazines ever again.
With a few exceptions (like Mario Testino’s special edition of Vogue Spain of which you’ll soon see wall art hanging around my home office). Something doesn’t click between me and those glossy fashion magazines. And today I’ll give you one of the reasons why. Far from being the first time we’re tackling this topic, the amount of retouching on the photographs we see in fashion magazines creates unreal projections of reality.
