George Barnett is front and center for Lanvin menswear. The winsome Brit portrays an entire group of Lanvin clad boys in the new campaign. Multi-tasking comes naturally for George – in addition to modeling and apprenticing with Hedi Slimane, George is also the drummer for critically acclaimed band, These New Puritains.

Though there were rumors of a supermodel September cover for Vanity Fair‘s annual Style issue, it looks like the one supermodel everybody is talking about, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, made the cut. With photos by Annie Leibovitz, read the entire article on Carla now on Vanity Fair’s website. It promises to be quite a read…

It seems like September issues hit newsstands earlier and earlier each year. It’s only July and already we’re being treated to some of the best in fall content. Numero Tokyo showcases the ever chic Anna Maria Jagodzinska in beatnik Gucci on its fall cover while inside it predicts the next round of major modeling stars. Anna makes the list, naturally.

The Alberta Ferretti campaign lensed by Steven Meisel has appeared and we love it for so many reasons.
1-The eerie and disquieting atmosphere and lighting
2-The old subway car depicted that brings back memories of traveling to school in the 70′s
3-The complete incongruity of such high end garments in such a quotidian environment
4-The official comeback of Anna J mixed with new favorites like Magdalena, Siri and Viktoriya
5-The utter fabulousness of things we see every day (people sleeping on the train, drinking coffee, holding onto the metal bars) as translated by the blue chip team behind this impossibly cool campaign. Oh that we could be so chic as we ride into work every day!

Gucci, shot by Inez and Vinoodh, debuts the men’s campaign in September UK GQ. We love the energy and colors of the outdoor shoot in Mallorca. The first model to appear in the ad, Olaf Czosnowski is with 9 Daughters and a Stereo in Germany.
