For the September issue of W magazine, 47-year old supermodel Linda Evangelista was transformed into a latex-clad superhero housewife, showing us she is still able to provoke the wow effect. Looking through the entire editorial is like reading an impossible-to-put-down, edgy retro comic.  Shot by Steven Klein, style props go to Edward Enninful.

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.
