For the less business-minded, more creative types, there’s always your stylist internship.
Katie Mossman’s worked with Numero, Bazaar and a handful of international Vogues and she’d like some help for fall (at least, maybe longer), two to three days a week (working with a stylist can be all consuming, don’t be shocked if those days include weekends).
You’ll help on set, preparing stories, dressing models, ironing, steaming, organizing the closet, tracking samples and with general administrative tasks.
The job will be easier if you have a Blackberry or iPhone and you know the city like the back of your hand. Basically, she wants interns who are extremely motivated, would kill for the position and have no problem waking up at 5am for an outdoor shoot in the snow.
If that’s you, email Katiemossmanintern@gmail.com with a very short cover letter and your resume.
Each time I move apartments (and I tend to do this often) I fight the same battle; no one understands why I insist upon moving my magazines.
“Throw them out!” they tell me. “They’re too heavy!” they insist. (Though surely they’d balk at the thought of trashing a single book.) Absolutely not. I love my magazines. And while I can be talked into tossing an issue of GQ with Leonardo DiCaprio on the cover, others, like Andre J’s French Vogue or Coco Rocha’s Numero, will stay with me forever - even if I have to pay the movers extra - because nothing beats a really exceptional magazine.
One of the best that I’ve managed to hang onto dates from 2003 (which means its lived in seven apartments). W dedicated an entire issue to Kate Moss. Inside, various artists including Richard Prince, Lucien Freud, Chuck Close and all the best photographers paid tribute to the supermodel and now, the Chuck Close photographs are going to auction.
The black and white nude is expected to sell for as much as $16,300 at Christie’s on Wednesday which means I’ll have to stay content with flipping through the yellowing pages of my original issue.
Last year, V named Amanda Laine their model search winner.
Since then, the Canadian’s walked everything from Alex Wang to McQueen, Miu Miu to Vuitton. She’s been in V (obviously), Interview, POP, Numero, W, Bazaar and more. Needless to say, Stephen Gan’s eye for runway potential has a one up on Tyra’s.
So now the mag’s teamed up with Ford Models and thrown Alexander Wang onto their judging panel to find the next superstar. They’ve already received over 6000 online entries, but you have until June 29th to submit your profile on their site.
Finalists will be announced July 3rd and from there the winner gets an editorial in V and a contract with Ford, which is kind of priceless. Gan wants to, “unearth the next classic female beauty with a twist.”
If that’s you, you better get a move on.
So once I got over my line of Olsen questioning I finally got down to business.
If there’s a common thread among the people I’ve interviewed, it’s their nostalgia for a time when talent was enough, when you worked hard and made your way up the chain to the ridiculously successful place in which they all sit now instead of these days when everyone wants a piece of the industry and who you know becomes more important than what you know.
In Part II, we talk about how Rolando ended up at Bumble & bumble, Fashion Week work versus editorial work, being on a plane with Charlie’s Angels and his Madonna moment - because really, everyone has one.
Sølve Sundsbø shot the wonderful “Points a la Ligne” for Numéro last year in May.
We loved the Norwegian photographer’s eerie and sexy spread featuring a pancaked Edita Vilkeviciute’s body covered in various shadowed patterns.
Seems for the editorial’s one year anniversary Allure Korea and photographer Lee Kyung Ryul did a little more than pay homage to Sundsbø’s work in their May 2009 issue. In some of the shosts the model, Han Jin, is actually wearing clothing (unlike Edita) and they went beyond the strict geometric patterns that Sundsbø used, but it’s still unquestionably similar to the photos from “la Ligne”.
Okay, so plenty of fashion photographers have taken inspiration from any number of photographers from Avedon to Penn and so many other talents - and that’s great. But this comparison is beyond simple inspiration and comes pretty darn soon after the original shoot. Sundsbø presented a unique image that Kyung Ryul recreated nearly identically. The heights of creativity reached in contemporary fashion photography is awe-inspiring and that’s why an original perspective will just always be more interesting.

We’ve spent the past two months trying to figure out how to channel Carmen Kass’ mermaid look circa June/July Numero.
It’s hard - probably because our closet isn’t overflowing with Givenchy sequins, Stella shell dresses or wave-y ruffles from Christoper Kane begging to be taken to the beach in Queens - but this ring might point us in the right direction.
We’ve lusted after some Iosselliani pieces before and this one’s finally within reach, (if we start saving). The triple silver band holds two river pearls in its literal claws, set in the midst of a rhinestone band.
It’s a little bit rock and roll, a little bit fantasy and very cool. Plus, we’re pretty sure we’ll still love it when we’re 40.
And that’s all the justification we need.
