Jessica Stam’s Response to ‘Haute Mess’ Controversy: ‘I Don’t Know…Whatever.’

by

Along with Andrej Pejic, Irina Shayk and Kate Upton, new face of Cover Girl Jessica Stam walked the red carpet at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares event last night. We knew she dyed her hair brown, but it really is such a striking difference that we almost didn’t recognize her. “Katie Grand wanted me to do it for a project that hasn’t come out yet,” Stam explained. “I don’t know if I can talk about it yet. [It’s a] modeling art project.”

Interesting, but what we really want to talk about is the recent controversial Vogue Italia (oh, Vogue Italia) spread, presciently titled “Haute Mess”.

Alber Elbaz Is Celebrating 10 Years at Lanvin–Here Are 10 of His Most Memorable Moments

by Nora Crotty & Hayley Phelan

It’s a whole new year! And a very important year, at that, for one of our favorite designers and fashion personalities, Alber Elbaz. 2012 marks his 10th anniversary as creative director at French fashion house Lanvin – and a lot has a happened since his first collection in 2002. Born in Morocco and raised in Tel Aviv, the bow tie-loving boy originally named “Albert” (he dropped the ‘T’ to avoid American pronunciation mishaps) has become one fashion’s most prominent and beloved (and bespectacled) faces.

In honor of his ten successful years at Lanvin, here’s a review of some of his most memorable moments from the past decade.

New week, new spring campaigns. This Monday morning brings us Roberto Cavalli, Tom Ford and Galliano. Cavalli cast supermodels Naomi Campbell, Karen Elson, and Kristen McMenamy in its glittery spring 2012 Steven-Meisel-shot campaign along with rising star Daphne Groeneveld (or, as Fashin so bluntly puts it, “three queens and a prop”). It’s awesome to see Read more →

The 25 Best Fashion Editorials of 2011

The 25 Best Fashion Editorials of 2011

by Alyssa Vingan and Steff Yotka

It happens every year: Our ever-growing pile of fashion magazines inches higher with each passing month, and by the time December rolls around, we can barely sift through the hundreds of stylish images we bookmarked for inspiration. 2011 was no exception, and in a year that celebrated retro supermodels, androgyny, vivid colors, and plenty of experimentation in the beauty department, choosing our favorites was particularly difficult.

The best editorials of the year ran the gamut from huge ensemble casts of blue-chip models styled by greats like Katie Grand and Carine Roitfeld, to intimate, one-on-one portraits of our favorite girls like Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy. The acid brights that dominated the spring collections allowed for some pretty trippy trend stories last season, but the fall glossies featured much moodier imagery, with a number of gorgeous spreads in black and white.

Here are the editorials from 2011 that will stay tacked up on our walls and fill our inspiration boards well into the new year—and beyond.

Fashion News Roundup: Male Models Deliver Madonna’s Perfume to Editors, Tel Aviv Hosts Its First Fashion Week, and Kim Kardashian Upsets Australia

by

Madonna’s Perfume Delivered by Male Models: Madge apparently sent some studly male models to hand-deliver her new Truth or Dare fragrance to beauty editors in NYC. Sadly, our notably male-deprived office was not included in this gesture – leading me to believe that Madonna is in on some Mean Girls-esque, four-for-you,-Glenn-Coco-and-none-for-Gretchen-Weiners reverse-psychology scheme to subconsciously make us want her perfume even more. Damn you, Madonna, and your sneaky mind games! {Telegraph}

RIP Master Embroiderer Francois Lesage: The Frenchman who led the embroidery atelier that served Chanel, Oscar de la Renta, and Bill Blass, has died at age 82. Lesage was known for being a true couture artisans, attaching every single bead by hand – a tradition that is now only utilized by a handful of designers. {NY Times}

An Account of Tel Aviv’s Very First Fashion Week: Lucky Mag contributer Ray Siegel reflects on Tel Aviv’s first-ever fashion week, hosted by Roberto Cavalli. Apparently each favorite look was immediately followed by avid applause – guess that’s faster than waiting to read the reviews! {Lucky}

Are Babies the Must-Have Accessory for Fashion Editorials?

Are Babies the Must-Have Accessory for Fashion Editorials?

by

When it comes to accessorizing an editorial, magazine editors know that there’s one thing that will never fail to instantly jazz up a shoot: Babies! You need only to look at Vogue Spain’s December cover, shot by Bruce Weber and starring a chubby baby’s behind (and we think that Dree Hemingway is in it as well? We weren’t paying attention…) to know what we mean.

Whether it’s baby carriages, baby bottles, or bare baby bums, there’s something about infants that is just so…chic, no? Take a look at the many fashion editorials featuring babies and get inspired to rock your baby (or niece or nephew) next time you really want to make an impression.

There’s only one question that remains: Just where, oh where, are magazines finding all these babies!?
