As mentioned in the previous post, we stumbled on some recent CK One videos, promoting the brand’s underwear line. In the videos, CK does what it does best, puts a bunch of sexy beasts in front of a video, films them in black and white at close range and lets the phermones flow from there. This one features Lara Stone, plus super stunner Cassie, who is apparently still working the half-shaven head look.
Found this cute GIF on a Lara Stone fansite the other day. It’s from a series of super fun/sexy videos Calvin Klein has done to promote its CK One underwear line….which coming soon.
A sneak peek of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, featuring Russian model Irina Shayk. Soccer fans may also know her as the girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo. What you’re seeing here is a billboard that will be used in conjunction with the big reveal on David Letterman tonight.
We have a post-Vogue-Paris-break-up photo of Carine Roitfeld (that’s her with Diane Von Furstenberg above), spotted in Givenchy in New York last night at the Amfar Gala, which raises funds for AIDS research. Perhaps not coincidentally, we read on Fashioncopious this morning of more rumors on her departure from Vogue. The latest version, which comes from Cathy Horyn at the NY Times, is that there were complaints about her lack of presence as a manager (a la Nina Garcia and Elle) and Roitfeld offered in a threatening sort of way to resign….like, oh, you don’t like it, then fine, I’ll leave! And much to her surprise, the response was, great, don’t let the door hit on your way out! And part of the fallout was that Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt, who nabbed the editor in chief spot, are no longer speaking. Quelle novella!
After the flip, a better view of Roitfeld’s dress, plus images of Iman, Anna Wintour and her bestie Blake Lively, Donna Karan, Karen Elson performing, and Olivier Theyskens.
Is it that time already for Sports Illustrated’s “Swimsuit Issue”? As usual, SI is very mums the word on who is getting the cover, but it has released this promo photo featuring the very delectable Brooklyn Decker, who landed the cover in 2010, and whose rack, obvs, is just flat out ridiculous! The issue goes on sale February 15th.
Vogue in other countries seems to always get it right. Not to diss American fashion or creativity but there seems to be a deliberate lack of awareness in some of the editorial choices made by many publications that honestly leave us baffled. This is not even about the inclusion of more black models but about the adequate representation of a country known for its diversity. We understand the aesthetic choices of a Vanessa Beecroft art piece for example, but is fashion not for all? Fortunately the Snobette universe reads more like a multi cultural United Colors Benetton ad from the 80s, and we would not have it any other way. Enjoy Vogue Italia’s “Black Allure,” styled by Edward Enninful, photographed by Emma Summerton in what looks like New York City’s Hiro Ballroom.
We’ve already shown the much-buzzed about Love magazine Spring/Summer 2011 cover, featuring Kate Moss planting a big one on Lea T, and now we have our hands on cover No. 3, featuring a solo Moss. To see cover No. 2, which Lea T gets all to herself, click through to the next page. Via Fashioncopious.
In an effort to highlight its Spring 2011 offerings, MiuMiu is presenting its looks in a series of films called “The MiuMiu Women’s Tales.” All will be directed by women, with the first of the series by Zoe Cassavetes, whose short is called “The Powder Room,” set in London’s Claridges Hotel. Featured models are Audrey Marnay, Caroline de Maigret, Line Gost and Sophie Vlaming. The setting is a powder room, aka a meetin’ in the ladies room….the mysterious lair of the womanly, where all manner of secrets and lies are whispered not to mention applied to one’s face! And therein lies the allure of all things Miucca–the celebration of feminine beauty and mystery by a woman who experiences its power daily. Stills from the film via MiuMiu on the next page.
Kate Moss is undoubtedly one of the world’s most photographed women – and in our latest fashion film series, we invite a selection of contemporary video editors to craft their own fashion film from footage captured of Kate Moss during Nick Knight’s editorial for the December 2010 issue of Vogue Italia. The resulting fashion films will be released over spring 2011, alongside interviews with each of the editors to underline their individual approach to the footage, the process of editing Kate, and the emerging genre of fashion film.Via showstudio.
