Fashion News Roundup: Nicki Minaj Wears Prada in Wonderland, Karl Lagerfeld Was Claudia Schiffer’s Mentor, and You Can Buy Daphne Guinness’s Butterfly-Filled Apartment

Karl Lagerfeld Mentored Lost Lamb Claudia Schiffer: Way back when O.S. (Original Super) Claudia Schiffer was just a homesick little fräulein in the big bad world of modeling, the Kaiser apparently took her under his friendly fingerless-gloved wing as her wise mentor. Sounds just like a modern-day modeling fairy tale. {Vogue UK}

Check out Wonderland‘s latest cover, which features Ms. Minaj rocking totally natural lashes and what looks like a printed version of the Spring ’12 bodysuit that’s been taking over recent editorials. {Design Scene}

The Best Magazine Covers of 2011

Dont judge a book by its cover… Unless it’s a magazine, in which case, sometimes the cover is the deciding factor of whether or not to buy the mag altogether.

The best covers of 2011 returned to a new naturalism and a fun aesthetic, like the Lara Stone T cover we’re still drooling over, pictured at left. Sure, there’s still room for artifice in fashion (see: Stella Tennant on Vogue Italia), but 2011 was a year for reflecting on natural beauties, incredible models, and stellar photography.

After toiling over hundred of covers, we’re bringing you “The Best” according to us. Did we forget your favorite? Let us know in the comments.

Fashion News Roundup: Claudia Schiffer On German Vogue, the Next Uniqlo Collab and Topshop Goes Out Vegas-Style

Claudia Schiffer Looks Amaaazing On The Cover Of German Vogue: She casts eyes at us from under a black lace mask and we are struck with envy at her absolutely flawless waves (and lips and skin and everything because she’s Claudia and she’s perfect…). This image rocks. {Models.com}

Undercover Will Be Uniqlo’s Next Collaboration Line: Uniqlo sent out a press release heralding Jun Takahashi’s Undercover as their next collaboration line, which will take the place of +J (so sad). No details yet, but we have awhile; the line won’t be out until Spring 2012. {The Shophound}

Topshop Adds An Eveningwear Line And Is Building A Vegas Store: Called Dress Up, the new line is comprised of “elaborate, embellished pieces in fine silks and satin with beading and sequins” to target the “going out” market, says director Philip Green. It will do well in the sequin capital, Las Vegas, where they have a store coming in March 2012. Other future store plans include Chicago and Toronto, plus ones in Brazil, Australia and Mexico. {Racked}

Blinged Out Bras: A Look Back At 14 Years of the Victoria’s Secret Multi-Million Dollar Fantasy Bras

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, in all of it’s boob-ed and winged splendor, airs tonight at 10 p.m. on CBS. This year, Adriana Lima wears the coveted fantasy bra, which rings in at a whopping $2 million and took craftsmen over 1500 hours to make. Of course, $2 million is nothing compared to the $15 million ruby and diamond encrusted bra and panty set that Gisele Bündchen wore during the Victoria’s Secret show in 2000. That lingerie set holds the Guiness Book record for the most expensive underwear in the world. In fact, this year marks the cheapest fantasy bra Victoria’s Secret has shown since they started the fantasy bra in 1996. Claudia Schiffer got the honor that year of wearing the very first million dollar fantasy bra.

Since we’ve already singled out the 10 most ridiculous looks from tonight’s show, without further ado, a look back at 14 years of the Victoria’s Secret fantasy bras.

Analyzing Karl Lagerfeld’s Photos of Claudia Schiffer

The 60th anniversary issue of German mag Stern Fotografie features Karl Lagerfeld’s photography portfolio, specifically his shots of fellow German Claudia Schiffer. While we’re head over heels with most of Karl’s work, the six covers of the magazine are everything from crazy and sexy to mildly racist and all-over strange.

Styling Claudia in six wildly different ways for the cover, Karl banks on the viewer’s ability to recognize the pop culture references implied. While they’re meant to be iconic and kitschy, blackface is never a good idea.
