If ever there was a cover that signifies a fresh start or rebirth of a publication, it’s Kristina O’Neill’s debut cover as Editor-in-Chief of WSJ magazine. Featuring a redesigned logo, the cover photo by Mikael Jansson is awash in bright white light, giving model Kati Nescher a luminescent glow. The caption of “Pure Elegance” feels especially […]
Marie Piovesan may not be the most conventionally beautiful of models, but her quirky look is well-loved in the Fashion Spot forums and apparently it’s well-loved by Russh as well. Marie graces the cover of the magazine’s February/March issue in a shot by Tung Walsh, and she also features in two editorials. She makes a fitting […]
Everyone loves Drew Barrymore, right? Right. So it is with great joy that I bring you these lovely Daniel Jackson-photographed Harper’s Bazaar magazine covers and editorial previews for the March 2013 issue. Drew looks fresh-faced, vibrant, modern and completely like her. No overzealous Photoshop wizardry here. “Definitely one of US Bazaar's best covers in ages,” […]
J. Mendel must love the creative trio of model Bette Franke, photographer Daniel Jackson, and stylist Alistair McKimm, because for the second consecutive season they’ve used them for their ad campaign. After seeing Spring 2013 images, it’s easy to see why J. Mendel thought this trio was worth the repeat. “Plain studio backdrop, Daniel Jackson […]
If you like Barneys New York but think that wearing designer clothing's got nothing on eating real food for dinner every night, I'm here to be the bearer of great news: now you can have your quality clothes and eat food, too. The much-admired department store is launching an off-price website. "Off-price" can mean a […]
There’s a reason (okay, many reasons) Joan Smalls is models.com’s reigning #1 model. She’s stunning, and she knows how to move and pose in a way that commands a photograph. All of these qualities are on full display in Prabal Gurung’s Spring 2013 ad campaign, which was styled by Tiina Laakkonen and photographed by Daniel […]
Natalie Portman is still going strong as the face of Christian Dior's Miss Dior Chérie fragrance, but truth be told, the new ad for Spring 2013 leaves a little something to be desired. It’s not that the ad looks bad per se – the gimmicky oversized perfume bottle is par for the course and the Raf […]
If you were hoping to be surprised by Stella McCartney’s Spring 2013 ad campaign, then I’m sorry to disappoint you, because things are starting to get predictable. Kudos if you haven’t lost track yet, but Natalia Vodianova has been tapped for the umpteenth time to star in the brand’s ad campaign. Rest assured, that vacant […]
We’ve been tracking the news of Thailand getting its very own edition of Vogue for a while now, and we finally have an official look at the magazine’s debut issue. Featuring Thai model Si Tanwiboon in an ornamental headpiece made exclusively for Vogue Thailand by acclaimed milliner Philip Treacy, the publication is literally going for […]
We all know Kate Bosworth is something of a fashion icon, and maybe she sometimes tries a little too hard to be on the cutting edge. Her look at the premiere of her new film, Big Sur, at the Sundance Film Festival is one of those times. She took a great look from Calvin Klein’s Pre-Fall […]
For what seemed like a good long portion of 2012 (as in, all of it), it felt like everywhere we looked, there was Lana del Rey. She graced magazine cover after magazine cover, and put out one epic music video (or music mini-film, if you will) after the other, making us love her, hate her, […]
Charlotte Casiraghi’s good genes – she’s Monaco royalty and the granddaughter of Grace Kelly – surely had a lot to do with her inclusion in Gucci’s “Forever Now” ad campaigns. The “Forever Now” branch of Gucci’s business celebrates the brand’s rich history, highlighting classic Gucci motifs and reintroducing iconic pieces from the label’s archive. In […]
It’s no secret that we love (nearly) everything Olivier Theyskens touches, so it’s also no surprise that we in the Fashion Spot forums are smitten with the latest ad campaign for Theyskens’ Theory. Wylie Hay appears in the moody campaign, which juxtaposes images of the model posing in a hallway with images of a somewhat […]
In a complete about-face from the spare, stark image she portrayed in the Alexander Wang campaign we highlighted yesterday, Malgosia Bela donned smoky eyes and printed clothes alongside Isabeli Fontana and Sui He for the opulent Spring 2013 Roberto Cavalli campaign (photographed by Mario Testino). Whether you love it or hate it, you can always […]
We’re used to seeing Malgosia Bela with long flowing hair, and a natural-colored skin tone (most of the time), but leave it to Alexander Wang to subvert the model’s image for his Spring 2013 ad campaign. Steven Klein was brought in to shoot the campaign, which was art directed by Pascal Dangin – the campaign […]
Vogue Paris strayed from their norm (if they have one) for the February 2013 issue, photographing model-cum-actress Milla Jovovich in a look from Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent Paris collection with the New York City skyline behind her. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin were on hand (as usual) to get the cover shot. This may not be […]
Juergen Teller and his harsh lighting captured Emma Stone for the cover of W’s February Movie Issue. Sporting stringy blonde hair, a strapless bra and a carefully draped leather jacket, Emma looks a bit grittier than we’re used to seeing her. Is that a nod to her upcoming film, Gangster Squad, or simply the result of […]
Anyone who ever watched an episode of My So Called Life will forever have love for Claire Danes, but it’s hard to get past her crazy-eyed stare on the cover of Elle’s February issue. Her eyes seriously look so crazy they make it difficult to focus on anything else on the cover (for me anyway). […]
When you want to create images with a nostalgic, cinematic feel, your go-to guy is Peter Lindbergh. That signature aesthetic of his is fully evident in Bottega Veneta’s Spring 2013 ad campaign, which features Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Radufe. The collection was beautiful when it made its way down the runway and the clothes […]
We’ve only seen the subscriber cover, but so far, we’re obsessed with Naomi Watts (who’s starring in an upcoming film as the late Princess Diana) on Vogue Australia’s February issue. Styled by Stevie Dance, Watts is pictured in a ruffled green Gucci gown against a multicolored floral background with the caption “Fashion in Full Bloom.” […]
