Fashion does it Better

    Sasha Pivovarova @ IMG That's been the topic of almost all day. Let's dance and have some joy. No way to keep brewing the same old thoughts back and forth, from east to west and melt them in a crazy mix. Just light as bubbles, because we all need such feeling from time to time. And those are probably the pictures that bring this idea to life, bright fluorescent mood, somewhere between a recent past and close future, a moment dedicated to the instant without thoughts (or afterthoughts, or regrets, or plans, or...

  Arizona Muse @ Next It always seems some people and (even more) some medias are exaggerating new models' prowesses and achievements. It's nice to hear or read but doesn't always make sense and we would rather think of it than shout it loud everywhere we can. Hide the best things to let them blossom at the right moment. That's actually what has been Arizona's story until she finally hit the first part of her spotlights last season. When from anonymous model at Next she jumped off to the status of most promising one from... [Lire la suite]

Daphne Groeneveld @ Bloom (The Netherlands), Union (London), Women (Milan) Daphne's rise since the first time we featured her has been so impressive that saying anything about it would sound like endless name-dropping. Putting her spot in Miu Miu's most recent ads (as a part of the flawless cast) next to these outtakes from a Vogue Paris spread (by Mert & Marcus, styled by Carine Roitfeld) makes more sense in our opinion and tells more than a detailed review of all the A-list jobs she got so far. Like a clear statement that... [Lire la suite]

  Freja Beha Erichsen @ IMG (Paris) Not going to give detailed explanations on why there haven't been more updates these last seven days so let's just say Summer and being busy doesn't help releasing creativity when it comes to writing long articles. Also agencies are either already on holidays or looking forward to close their doors for a small vacation (the remaining ones are working hard and we're always here to work hand in hand with any of them). So, it's not going to be a brand new face arriving out of nowhere who... [Lire la suite]

Anna De Rijk @ Viva (Paris) 2010 finally gave us some (good) reasons to get excited again about magazines. Late 2009 didn't bring the contents we're usually looking for and we started visiting our favorite bookstores a bit less often, asking ourselves if it's due to the end of the year or the end of that precise year. Never took (had) time to think twice and never got our answer, good pages striked back before. Even in Vogue Paris. As much as we appreciate the overall mood of this magazine, castings over there aren't always our cup... [Lire la suite]

Aline Weber @ One (NY) And Aline screams fashion. Her look has been noticed this season, her potential is now explored all over the fashion magazine's world. From Numéro to Dazed and now Vogue Paris, latest issue. If you hear she's in Vogue because of Balenciaga just remember why a model can open a show like Balenciaga. The answer is in the question. It's funny, it happens very often. And besides all the hype around the latest cover of the most watched french mag, we're really glad to see contents that are actually able to... [Lire la suite]

model: Catherine McNeil by Mario Testino Credit: http://www.fashionista.com Vogue Paris june-july hasn't even hit the bookstores that the controversy about the duet McNeil/Testino (remember Catherine Mc Neil's 6 months exclusive contract with Mario Testino) has reached an incredible level... V cover and ed featuring McNeil by Testino had its lovers and haters yet that was nothing compared to the Vogue Paris case !What I've read more often about the editorial is: "huh, she's so plain, she's doing the same expression during...

Who have never heard of Catherine McNeil ? Of her latest covers ? Of her exclusive contract with Mario Testino ? Yes, seems that she's in everyone's mouth and mind right now. This so-called supermodels hype ? In my opinion, this just fits today's zeitgeist. So, better forget about it if you don't like this "hype", it has nothing to do with Catherine. And better enjoy all those pictures and covers if you like HER. You may not be fond of her, it's a matter of taste but don't overlook her for wrong reasons. I do... [Lire la suite]
