As we previously reported, the debut issue will feature lots and lots of nude photos–some featuring the likes of Abbie Lee Kershaw, Arizona Muse and Liya Kebede. Read more »

British Designers Dress Their Model Muses In Some Crazy Outfits to Meet the Queen
By Hayley Phelan
They may disagree on the season’s must-have accessory, or which color is “in,” but British designers are united on at least one thing: Their love for the Queen.
So, to show their devotion in the most fitting fashion (literally), the UK’s leading designers dressed up their model muses as a ‘living example’ of their work to make a good impression when they met the Queen, reports Grazia UK.
For Vivienne Westwood that meant dressing Lily Cole in a dramatic strapless navy gown; for Henry Holland it meant outfitting BFF Agyness Deyn in a patterned floor-length dress, and for Giles Deacon, of course, it meant having a model wear a perilous swan on her head.
Kate Middleton favorite Amanda Wakeley dressed little-known actress Lisa Barbuscia (aka Lisa B) in a white number with a thigh–actually, crotch–high slit that, we must say, was pretty risque to meet the Queen. But if Liz takes a shine to it, maybe we can see her grand-daughter-in-law K.Midd wearing it in the near future!

Happy 42nd Birthday, Naomi Campbell! Here Are 42 of Her Many Magazine Covers
By Jihan Forbes
Folks, today is Naomi Campbell‘s birthday. Since her debut at the age of 15 she’s become one of the most iconic (and notorious) supermodels in the world. She almost immediately snagged the cover of British ELLE back in 1986, and then went on to become the first black Vogue Paris cover model. Since then, there has been no stopping her. These 42 covers only scratch the surface of her body of work.
Bad temper aside, it’s safe to say that Ms. Campbell is one of the greatest and most beloved models of our time. No matter what she does, whether she’s throwing a cell phone at your head, judging a reality show, or starring in Cavalli ads, it’s safe to say that at 42, Naomi Campbell is still fierce. With every photo shoot, public appearance, or turn down the catwalk, she still keeps us interested. And we love her for it. Read more »

Does Anja Rubik know good sex? We’ll soon be finding out: The catwalk queen with the pelvic bone seen round the world is set to relaunch 25 Magazine, a project she started way back in 2009 with her then-future husband, fellow model Sasha Knezevic. She’ll re-introduce the glossy tomorrow at Cannes.
Inspired by 1970s adult women’s erotica magazine Viva, the model-cum-editor chose to revamp 25 with an overtly sexual erotica theme.

As of now, it’s still a rumor, but one that several outlets, including the Boston Herald, Globo.com, Brazilian newspaper Agora, and House of Models, are reporting. Bundchen has been in Sao Paulo over the past few days to promote her lingerie line, Hope (see photo below), and reports say she was telling everyone the happy news, while others say dressers for Gisele’s recent events had noticed “changes” in her figure.

Kate Moss Wears Lots of Black, Fur, and Neon Hair Extensions on the Beach in Harper’s Bazaar
By Cheryl Wischhover
Kate Moss covers the June/July issue of Harper’s Bazaar, and sadly she’s not wearing a swimsuit like Vogue‘s Olympic hopefuls or Gisele’s sandy ass on Vogue Paris. The cover (below), shot by Terry Richardson, isn’t that exciting, but it’s pretty enough. We’re happy to see Kate on any cover! However, when you dive into the magazine (which hits newsstands May 29), you’re rewarded with a 20-page spread of Ms. Moss in Jamaica modeling tons of spring looks (and random big fur coats). And yes, swimsuits are involved. Read more »

Exclusive: Watch a Bikini-Clad Gisele Bundchen in Behind-the-Scenes Video for New David Yurman Shoot
By Hayley Phelan
For most people, a day at the beach is a vacation–but for Gisele, photographer Peter Lindbergh, and the rest of the David Yurman team it’s just another day at the office.
Yurman chose Malibu as the backdrop for his Fall 2012 campaign, starring Gisele and shot by Lindbergh. “The beach continues to be a favored backdrop for David Yurman because of its basic beautiful natural elements: sand, water and the sky,” a spokesperson told us. “There are no superfluous distractions–the beach exudes beauty in its purest form.”
Kind of like Gisele, who is featured in her purest form, aka in a bikini. Read more »

Watch: Arizona Muse’s Southwestern Horseback Riding Outfit Is Very Revealing
By Dhani Mau
It-model Arizona Muse graces one of i-D‘s eight covers (others include Andrej Pejic, Julia-Restoin Roitfeld and Raf Simons) for their “Lights Camera Action” issue. In what we imagine is a bit of a nod to her first name, the magazine and photographer Kayt Jones went with a southwestern theme for the cover shoot, which involves rugged overalls with nothing underneath, bolo ties, shawls, braids with feathers and Native American jewlery. Even better than the cover, though, is the truly bizarre short film they shot to go along with it, in which she rides a horse in slow motion while wearing a t-shirt with everything below the armpit cut off, all while reciting a passage from The Outcast of Poker Flat by Francis Bert Harte. Thankfully, she’s not going very fast. But still. Watch below (slightly NSFW). Read more »
