He’s a bit of a wings expert as he also did the wings for the Broadway play, “Angels in America!” See more detail and read a q&a with the designer at MTVstyle.

 Kate Moss is featured on the cover of rocker Bryan Ferry’s latest album, “Olympia,” as photographed by Adam Whitehead. Moss is one of a long line of beauties featured on Ferry’s albums, most from when he was a member of Roxy Music. According to Dailymail, one of the covers featured Jerry Hall, who Ferry proposed to. They were engaged until she was swept away by Mick Jagger. On choosing Moss, Ferry commented, “I normally use unknown women–it’s nice to discover girls for that kind of thing. But this time I thought it would be a good idea to ask Kate, because she’s a great femme fatale of our era.” Additional black and white images from the shoot via Nowness on the next page.

Not very long ago photographer Ellen Von Unwerth complained of the lack of freedom when it comes to fashion photography, in her estimation because of dictation by conservative advertisers. This is not apparently an issue at Vice Style, where the shoot “Fire Walk With Me,” featured all the taboos Unwerth mentioned and then some. The theme of the editorial is your basic lives gone off the tracks. Shot by Jonathan Leder, it’s a nostalgic look at the ’60s, albeit one filled with anguish, a snapshot of a time when getting high and drunk and having same sex relationships was still a no-no and best kept secret.

Exclusively available at ln-cc is the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection of Central Saint Martins alum Tze Goh. Using only white, the collection deconstructs the idea of the tee- shirt by molding  and layering fabrics. We’ve always loved the idea of winter white, and this collection has the bonus of a very modern urban feel that we just could not ignore. Take a closer look ar Tze Goh’s collection on the next page and enjoy  his q&a with John Skelton.

China Fashion Week is in progress, an event that includes the Eon Fashion Award, a makeup and styling contest.  The hair and makeup is dazzling, clearly more the realm of the performance world than the runway (thus the contest aspect). Still, great for inspiration and check an image on the next page, which perhaps is making a statement or two on the Western world’s view of China as one big cash register. Via Zimbio.
