Scandale du Success


Gucci Spring 03 Ph. Mario Testino
Looks like Tom Ford has done it again. The master of media manipulation has launched another eyebrow raising campaign trading freely on a risque first image. The question is, will the rest of the series follow suit or has the point been made? Logomania will never die (it just keeps cropping up in the strangest places).

Beautiful Vision


Aurelie/Vision
Despite the incessant whispers of upcoming turbulence, Vision NY forges ahead with its own focused agenda. For the Fall 03 show castings the program in the words of the agency's Creative Director "is about ultra-gorgeous and ultra-chic. Last season everybody was going after the obviously beautiful and sexy girls. This season it's a little more decadent. It's about being very beautiful and very very elegant. Like the sexy heiress who would hang out at a costume ball at Le Palace". And who are the new Vision girls who casting directors might want to employ for this new elegance? High on that list are Brazilian newcomers Karoline (former MOTW), Ana and Talidy, as well as rising faces Tamara, Quiana and Aurelie.
