inez and vinoodh do vegas
not available in the US yet, we get a peek at french vogue’s new vegas exploration by inez and vinoodh. daria looks beautiful as always, the hair (by james pecis) is gorgeous and on-theme, but where’s the turtleneck? didn’t think she could compete with the king?
ps. do you think i can get away with singing this to someone? only avec turtleneck, naturellement. by kl
jil sander and alfred hitchcock
according to alfred, “self-plagiarism is style”
i’m not sure what that has to do with this gorgeously intriguing campaign for jil sander’s s/s lines, but it seems fitting. inspired by hitchcock films of the 1940’s, stylist oliver rizzo and photographer willy vanderperre brilliantly transcend the worlds of cinema and fashion here (not to mention the beautiful daria stroukos and natasha poly)
it really makes me want to go home and watch ‘spellbound’ for the millionth time. by sv

Une Fille Comme Les Autres: hilariously dissected Ashley Smith clip for promoting jalouse magazine
i already love the guy, made me laugh to hear all that. it’s so true, and we all tend to want to deny it. but, when it’s spelled out, you see how hilarious this whole industry of ours is. c’est la vie. lol. viola. bam. je ne sais quoi. “hipster with a beard”, a solid buzz. jean luc and george would be proud… film by matthew frost staring model ashley smith. well done. by dd

The beautiful Egle Tvirbutaite photographed by Karen Collins
i’m at times a bit of a harsh critic, but i really do love this story for french magazine stiletto by photographer karen collins. i think the model, egle tvirbutaite whom i’ve shot with before, looks more gorgeous and elegant than ever. it’s a bit of a tamara de lempicka meets pasolini story.

i heard about this book for almost 5 years now and was starting to think it was an urban legend…. well now it’s there, it’s at taschen and it looks good. a bit late for x-mas though. by pp.
