Magazines and Photographers:

With Karl Lagerfeld and Olivier Zahm involved with the new Chanel magazine, expect lots of Baptiste Giabiconi and beautiful women.

Ponyryder has a special interview with Randall Slavin who counts Charlize Theron, Eva Longoria, Joy Bryant, etc as subjects. Find out how he went from being a struggling actor to a successful photographer and why Charlize is a dream in front of the camera.

Miscellaneous:
Thank you Fashionista for pointing us towards Gawker’s Olivier Zahm post, “Olivier Zahm, either the best or worst human being in New York. Most funny: the peanut gallery of commenters.

We are showing our age but we cannot resist this post by Production about Love Boat and its fabulous fashion guests like the very handsome Halston, Geoffrey BeeneBob Mackie and Gloria Vanderbilt.

Model News:
We’ve always been big fans of Karmen Pedaru; her energy backstage is just ridiculously awesome. Read her interview with W about being a former Estonian soccer goalie and chocolate chip lover (specially made by close friend Karlie Kloss).

Speaking of Karlie Kloss…. Karlie is, in the words of Jean Paul Gaultier “inspires and is inspired”. Galliano says “She’s one of those girls, like a Naomi, like a Linda, like a Shalom.” That’s some major praise.

V Video 2!! Check out exclusive video with the amazing Dree Hemingway for her V shoot.

Lily Cole, Lady Gaga and American Vogue. Kind of genius!

Book them right now: the flame haired Sunniva with her new baby Liv. So adorable.

Coco Rocha has a new man and they make a pretty darn cute couple.

Nicola Haffmans, who looks like Amy Wesson morphed with Anna K, like THOSE Alexander McQueen shoes (yes the alien ones). Read her Ponyryder interview.

Double Edged

November 2nd, 2009 |Posted by Janelle

Two sides of Alla Kostromichova are on display in Numero. The versatile Ukrainian beauty poses for the always imaginative Sebastian Kim and the results are lovely. The color images feature Alla looking very Grace Coddington with a wild red mane and funky ensembles while the black and white pictures feature a sleek blonde Alla. Naturally both versions are completely gorgeous but we can’t help but feel a little favoritism towards the flame red tresses. Which version of Alla do you love?

Ginger Spice

June 16th, 2009 |Posted by Janelle

If there is a theme to this month’s Vogue it would have to revolve around red hair. Whether all natural, dyed or simply faux, fiery locks dominate the editorial pages.  Karlie Kloss, Iris Strubegger, Coco Rocha and Karen Elson all sport the color and they each bring something different to the look - Karen is the grand dame of red locks, Coco famously sparked the red revival with her makeover a few months ago, Iris is already setting trends with her short red cut and Karlie is heating things up in her David Sims story with hair that reminds us of Vogue mainstay Grace Coddington. Four red haired beauties - one phenomenal issue.

Naturally fashions change and who knows how long any of these ladies will stay red (Coco is already back to black) but crimson hair is definitely having a moment with the models.

Historical Fiction

April 13th, 2009 |Posted by Janelle

So many models have shaped culture beyond the world of fashion. Serving as an inspiration for designers, directors, musicians and so many more these iconic faces have remained firmly lodged in the collective memory. Who can forget someone like Veruschka or Penelope Tree? In keeping with the ‘Models as Muse’ theme Vogue US offers up a stunning tribute to history’s foremost faces. Natalia Vodianova captures the essence of each legendary face creating a graceful and poignant series of images shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Grace Coddington. The term ‘instant classic’ gets thrown around a great deal but this is truly a story to remember.
