If there was still doubt persisting in your mind that wedding is the new it, here’s Vogue UK ready to break those doubts! The May 2011 issue of British Vogue is sooooo bridal, it makes you wonder if they this wasn’t originally meant for a bridal magazine.

But no, Mario Testino‘s Wedding Belles as impersonated for the cover by Freja Beha Erichsen, Lara Stone and Natalia Vodianova look stunning, scared, nervous, unreal and well… tres bridal. Almost too bridal for my taste. How much more bridal are you willing you take? For the record – I’d rather see Freja as the Harry Winston bride, I don’t like Mario Testino‘s vision as much as smiling Freja!

Kate Moss is covering Vogue Japan‘s May 2011 issue in a time of distress for Japan. Which makes every gesture and appearance pretty special. For everyone. Of course they did not know this was going to happen when they shot for this issue, but Kate makes a certified gold cover anyway.

Hoping that the pictorials inside are more optimistic and lively than usual may prove to be irrelevant at this point. Kate‘s Mert and Marcus photographs have a strange look, something reminding me of a basement confined glamour (bonus the now so trendy ballerina trend). But that’s just me.

It’s a mad, mad designer world out there! And if you don’t have your own designer at your side (or at least your own stylist to guide you), you will most definitely be lost in an endless sea of fashoportunities!

Take for instance the celeb factor: it’s worth nothing without the proper stylist! And you know what would be even greater than having your personal stylist ? Having a designer to be your stylist or friend. Or stylist friend. Cum designer. In the words of charming Carey Mulligan (about her friends, Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen).

I couldn’t believe what they did when I texted in a panic about having nothing to wear for my audition for Gatsby. I was hoping they’ve send me some things from The Row, but then these huge boxes arrived—Ashley’s entire collection of thirties vintage dresses.

Talking about friends with benefits, eh? (Vogue via)

Remember that stunningly beautiful Dolce & Gabbana catwalk? The Spring Summer 2011 one? Oh, how I loved it! I wish I could have the necessary arrangements to accommodate it all in my wardrobe! sigh!

Three Vogue covers stand by my aesthetic and sustain my perspective by choosing a white Dolce & Gabbana dress from the Spring Summer 2011 collection to dress their cover models:

Vogue Paris April 2011, the first issue under Emmanuelle Alt with Gisele Bundchen on the cover, Vogue Germany April 2011 with Britt Maren and Vogue Spain’s February 2011 cover with Constance Jablonski. All three photographed each by a different photographer, with a different stylist and in different circumstances. How is that fashion – good? (if you ask me, it’s not, it’s just proof that stylists are only human, thus having human likings and Vogue is just another fashion magazine sifting on the same trends and influences). Which one is your favorite? (click through for larger images!)

I’m going through a Freja period. Me and the entire fashion industry. In fact, the fashindustry may already be out of Freja flavor (we know Arizona Muse was having a huge moment and so was Abbey Lee Kershaw. So maybe Freja is already last season. Either way, I’m loving her versatility).

So Freja Beha Erichsen covers Vogue Brazil March 2011. And that wouldn’t be much, aside the amazing model cover she makes. However, this is so different from the Freja we know and we’re used to seeing – androgynously slender and unhappily tummy aching (you know, fashion’s most beloved pose).

Photographer Henrique Gendre. This cover is great on so many levels, I don’t know where to begin – it’s fabulously tacky and leopard – cheap, the hair is adorably un – done, the makeup is seductively eyeliner – full and she looks imperfectly perfect. How do you like Freja? More on the vamp size like here or the usual over skinny androgynous look? (photo via)

Agyness Deyn still works! She was recently photographed by Hedi Slimane for the March 2011 issue of Vogue China and boy, was she fit in that Burberry spiked jacket! Though I’m not very sure as to why she left the fashion hotspot (or was she falling out of flavor?), I find her highly suited for the new androgynous aesthetic. So I wouldn’t erase her from the fashdirectory anytime soon.

Actually I can envision an ad campaign with her and Andrej. She’s the improbable girl of the new fashion. That makes her so hot! Plus she’s with James Franco – cinematography’s new it. How could anyone deny Deyn‘s very important place in the fashion main theater? (more images right after the jump, click here for the gallery!) (photos via)

There’s something about Scarlett Johansson‘s new hair. Something undone and unstylish yet adorable. I sometimes get the feeling she’s trying so hard to be un-liked and un-like-others, she fails brilliantly.

Like this Vogue China April 2011 cover – I’m not as naive as to imagine she has had anything to do with the styling or the pose. However, I’m as pretentious as to imagine stylists out there must think of some other way of making Scarlett appealing. Something other than constantly teasing and trying to seduce. Also – if bed hair is the final result, why try so hard and blow dry it, straighten it, fill it with styling products and then tousle it all around? Why not just let it be – straight bed hair? Why is looking natural so hard? (what’s with pink and Vogue April covers?) (Vogue China via)

It would be strange talking about Kate Winslet’s new Lancome ad and not mention her Vogue UK cover. So here I am, talking about how blond and beautiful she looks on the cover of the fashion Bible, Vogue, the UK edition, April 2011.

Such a strong woman, such a great interpreter, such a beautiful person. Though I read somewhere that Melissa Leo’s F word drop in the Oscar speech was largely due to Kate Winslet with whom she’s costarring in a (television ?) project. Why is that relevant? Because it’s hard to look at immaculate Kate and ignore the “cursing like a sailor” description made by Melissa.

Photographer: Mario Testino. Stylist: Beat Bollinger. Also : no, Kate Winslet has not cut her hair or dyed it in a definitive manner as shown in this issue of Vogue. (Vogue UK via)
