Happy early birthday to me is what I thought when I opened up this email with V’s latest beauty extravaganza.

My former beauty editor heart definitely starts beating a little faster when a single story contains work by so many of my most favorite hairstylists, makeup artists, and photographers. And the models aren’t too shabby either!

Seriously check out just some of the people who gave their interpretations of what the definition of beauty will be in the next decade: Gucci Westman, Aaron de Mey, Didier Malige, James Kaliardos, Val Garland, Richard Burbridge, Miles Aldridge, Jimmy Paul, Julien d’Ys, Mario Sorrenti. The list goes on and on and their work is completely outstanding.

Super Models! Paris gets all Comic-Con with their show packages. Iselin, Vlade, Hanne Gaby, and Iris will save the world from evil henchmen! {Fashionologie}

Panty Raid: Eric Wilson’s number three trend of NYFW, Spanx. Well, really briefs, outside the clothes. Linda Wells finds it “perfectly insane”. We’ll respectfully agree to disagree. {NY Times}

To Milan They Go: Apparently it’s sweltering, but Mr. Armani really brought the goods to kick things off. Think flouncy dresses and lots of flats. And then came the D&G cowgirls. Yee-haw! {Joe Zee’s Twitter}

Hair God: Bumble’s Jimmy Paul is often the person behind the runway’s coolest hairstyles. You’ve probably copied something he created more than once. Here’s how he spent NYFW. {Vogue Daily}

Look What We Found: Vogue took a second to delve into their archives and came up with a spectacular look back at some of their favorite supers, not just Christy who we wrote about yesterday. If we had access to those archives, we’d never come up for air. {VogueDaily}

Say It Ain’t So: I’ve never wanted anything the way I want the LV bunny ears. H&M’s Terry Richardson shot, Sasha P starring campaign is no comparison, my friend. Though she does look cute, as usual. {BlackBook}

Pretty Paul: Jimmy Paul, hairstylist to the models you love in the magazines you love and on the runways you love, reflects on his days in drag and being Nan Goldin’s muse in honor of a current exhibition including her work. {TheMoment}
