Forum Buzz Four is Better Than One for Vs. Magazine’s September Issue Covers (Forum Buzz)For their September issue, Vs. decided that four would be better than one, so they got four different “photographers” to capture four different cover girls for four different covers. Ellen von Unwerth photographed Coco Rocha, Guy Aroch captured Amanda Seyfried, Helena Christensen snapped Liv Tyler, and Drew Barrymore (Who knew Drew was into photography? Is she looking […] Read more Azealia Banks “Smokes” an Inflated Condom on the Cover of Dazed & Confused (Forum Buzz)Last week Dazed & Confused drummed up some interest in their September issue when they tweeted: “Just been told our upcoming @AZEALIABANKS cover has been banned from 7 countries so far. Thank God for the Internet, huh?” That one tweet made the cover a must-see – what could possibly be so bad that it was […] Read more Robert Pattinson Proves Looking Good is the Best Revenge (Forum Buzz)Robert Pattinson has been (understandably) flying under the radar since his world exploded when Kristen Stewart cheated on him with the director of Snow White and the Huntsman, but now Cosmopolis is coming out and it’s time for him to crawl out of his shell and back into the spotlight. Taking a page from the […] Read more Penelope Cruz and a Giant Necklace Cover W’s Big Fashion Issue (Forum Buzz)For W’s "Big Fashion" September issue, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot photographed Penelope Cruz styled by Edward Enninful in a dark turtleneck, navy blue suede gloves, and an eye-catching, bulbous blue and gold cross necklace. Charlotte Tilbury did the makeup and Pablo Iglesias is responsible for the big beautiful hair. There’s something lustrous and evocative […] Read more Miley Cyrus Cuts Her Hair, Becomes a Trending Topic on Twitter (Forum Buzz)Miley Cyrus posted pictures of her new super blonde, super short, super punky hair on Twitter last night and she’s been a trending topic ever since. Hairdresser Chris McMillan is responsible for the transformation (it’s rumored that she donated her formerly long locks) and everyone seems to have an opinion about it. Miley herself tweeted: […] Read more Vogue Paris Features Three Supermodels and a Redesign for September Issue (Forum Buzz)French Vogue is using its September issue to debut a new look with a cleaner, airier design, a new font, some renamed sections within the magazine, and new features that include a fashion opinion column written and illustrated by blogger Garance Doré. It seems that Editor-in-Chief Emmanuelle Alt is finally making the move to more […] Read more Elle Germany Recycles an Old Tiffany & Co Ad for their September Issue Cover (Forum Buzz)Creating covers using reprints from editorials in other magazines is certainly common and definitely not unheard of, but for its September issue, Elle Germany did something that strikes us as a bit odd. Not only did they use an old image, the old image they used is part of a Tiffany & Company ad campaign […] Read moreHere it is: Lady Gaga on Vogue’s September Issue (Forum Buzz)Styled by the inimitable Grace Coddington and photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, Lady Gaga graces the cover of Vogue’s September issue (complete with special anniversary red banner) in a fuchsia Marc Jacobs gown. I don’t know what I was expecting when I heard Lady Gaga would be fronting Vogue’s all-important September issue (I’m sure […] Read more Snejana Onopka is Stunning in Tom Ford Beauty’s New Ad Campaign (Forum Buzz)Tom Ford knows how to make women look beautiful, and if his ads are any indication, he knows how to sell makeup. In his latest Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-photographed beauty campaign for Fall 2012, Ford tapped Ukranian model Snejana Onopka to put her best face forward. Ford, as usual, is lurking in the background. […] Read more Elise Crombez Dons Theyskens’ Theory for the Fall 2012 Campaign (Forum Buzz)We don’t see much of Elise Crombez these days, but it’s always a pleasure when we do. Lucky for us, she’s the star of Theyskens’ Theory’s Fall 2012 ad campaign, which was photographed in a high contrast luminous style by Julien Claessens. “My favorite Belgian model for/by my favorite Belgian designer, I approve,” Psylocke shared. […] Read more Vogue China Does a Foldout Anniversary Cover for September (Forum Buzz)Vogue China chose to honor its seventh anniversary issue, which also happens to be its 2012 September issue, with two versions of a multi-model foldout cover. Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin photographed Liu Wen, Xiao Wen, Tian Yi, Daria Strokous, Lindsey Wixson, and Marie Piovesan in Prada and Louis Vuitton to mark the occasion. Despite […] Read more Gwen Stefani Covers Harper’s Bazaar’s September Issue (Forum Buzz)It’s very possible that we’ve just had enough of Terry Richardson and are totally over him and his work (though we can't seem to stop talking about him, weird). So much so that even Gwen Stefani could not redeem the cover he shot for Harper’s Bazaar’s September issue. Personally, I think it’s kind of pretty […] Read more Kookaï Celebrates 20 Years With a Halcyon Sojourn in MarrakechTwo decades is a long time in fashion years, so to celebrate, Kookaï have taken flight to exotic Marrakech. The ancient Moroccan city provides the backdrop for the iconic Australian brand’s 20th anniversary collection, Spring/Summer 2012’s ‘Arabesque’. The labyrinthine Medina, the busy Souks, decadent private residences, and general halcyon vibes are the perfect complement to Kookaï’s rich […] Read more Miley Cyrus Makes Marie Claire’s September Cover (Forum Buzz)Miley Cyrus would not have been my first choice for a September issue, but her Marie Claire cover is actually a pleasant surprise. The pose works, the styling (for the most part) works, and best of all Miley doesn’t look annoying. She's not trying too hard to be cool, sexy, or above it all. She's […] Read more The Color Pink (and Katy Perry) Cover Elle’s September Issue (Forum Buzz)On the cover of Elle’s September issue, Katy Perry is quoted saying, “I can’t be the candy queen forever,” but from the looks of things she hasn’t given up that title quite yet. Between the pink Bottega Veneta dress, pink background, and purple hair, this cover is so overpoweringly bubblegum sweet that it does nothing […] Read more Terry Richardson Steps in Front of the Camera for David Webb’s Fall 2012 Campaign (Forum Buzz)It’s not uncommon for Terry Richardson to photograph himself with the models he’s shooting for editorials and campaigns, but it is unusual for Richardson to actually costar in an ad campaign with a model. In this case, Richardson photographed himself alongside a bejeweled Eniko Mihalik for David Webb’s Fall 2012 campaign. Richardson marked the occasion […] Read more Zara Lines Up a Stellar Cast for Their Fall 2012 Campaign [VIDEOS] (Forum Buzz)What’s not to love about Zara?! First, they make affordable, on trend, fashionable clothes that make the retailer a forum favorite, and now they’ve produced a great, perfectly cast ad campaign for Fall 2012 featuring Freja Beha Erichsen, and the smoldering hot Jon Kortajarena and Sean O’Pry. These men look so good I don’t know […] Read more Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2012 Campaign Could Use Some Color (Forum Buzz)Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2012 ad campaign stars brand favorite Meghan Collison (she closed this collection’s runway show) photographed in black-and-white by Alasdair McLellan and styled by Proenza Schouler’s runway stylist Marie Chaix. The campaign reflects the label’s downtown, cool young girl vibe thanks to the apt casting, but forum members would have loved to see […] Read more How Cool is Jessica Chastain’s Short Hair?! (Forum Buzz)Jessica Chastain was spotted on the set of her new film, The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, with a new short edgy haircut, and it’s awesome. The cut is kind of Vidal Sassoon-esque in that it’s asymmetric and has that wash-and-go kind of look. Forum members were totally on board with the new ‘do. “She's such […] Read moreKarlie Kloss Lands Another September Issue; Covers Vogue UK (Forum Buzz)We’ve already seen Karlie Kloss vamping it up in a YSL chainmail dress on the cover of Vogue Japan’s September issue, and now we’ve got a preview of her Vogue UK cover, shot by Nick Knight. Forum members offered varied reactions to the cover shot. “She looks incredible but the styling is tragic!” helmut.newton exclaimed. […] Read more |
