Fashion News Roundup: The Kardashians Cover Notorious BIG, Teen Vogue Teaches You How to be an Intern, and Drew Barrymore Got Married in Chanel

Made in Brazil #5 is launching this week and Models.com has a sneak peek. There’s a 30 page spread styled by Brad Goreski featuring 5 Brazilian male models, including Rodrigo Braga, who will appear in Givenchy’s fall campaign. Yum. {Models.com}

The Kardashian-Jenner clan have released a new “music video” set to “Hypnotize” by Notorious B.I.G., filmed on a yacht in the Dominican Republic. It is, as with all things Kardashian, the pinnacle of klass and decorum. {MTV}

Drew Barrymore got married this past weekend in a Chanel pleated gown with a black belt. Which makes sense since her father in law was the CEO of Chanel. {E!}

Helmut Newton is the focus of an upcoming photography exhibit at The Williamson Gallery of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Three former protégés are the subject and co-curators of “Three Boys From Pasadena: A Tribute to Helmut Newton,” to open June 14. {WWD}

Why Are There So Many Scorpios in Fashion? We Ask Astrologer Susan Miller to Explain

Could your astrological sign make you suited to a career in fashion?

As ridiculous as that may sound, Anna Wintour, Robbie Myers, Glenda Bailey, Calvin Klein, Zac Posen, Edith Head, Emilio Pucci, Kelly Cutrone, Peter Lindbergh, Alexa Chung, Isabella Blow, Daphne Guinness, Chloe Sevigny, Lauren Hutton, Jean Shrimpton and Helmut Newton are just a few of the many editors, designers, photographers and style icons who were born under the sign of Scorpio. These folks are successful, powerful, iconic and we had a hunch that it wasn’t just a coincidence.

I happen to be a Scorpio myself and considered that might be the only reason I kept noticing other fashion people with November birthdays, until I realized other people had noticed that as well, like Astrologyzone‘s Susan Miller (aka the fashion industry’s most trusted advisor).

Susan also does the horoscopes for Elle, so she’s familiar with the fashion world, and in fact, works for Scorpio editor Robbie Myers. Also, one of her daughters is Chrissie Miller, designer of Sophomore. Susan was nice enough to chat with us about Scorpio personality traits and why this particular water sign is such a great fit for the fashion industry.

Fashion News Roundup: Another Emma Watson Cover, Nicola Formichetti Won’t Style Fat People and Jason Wu Makes Plastic Shoes

Emma Watson’s Harper’s Bazaar UK Cover: Watson continues to dazzle post-Potter with a stunning Jekyll-and-Hyde dual cover for the British mag’s August issue. It’s gorgeous and definitely more interesting than her Vogue cover. Which do you prefer, the lighter newsstand copy or the subscriber’s darker edition? {Fashion Gone Rogue}

Read: Suzy Menkes Questions Fashion Exhibitions: International Herald Tribune style critic wrote an excellent opinion piece on the proliferation of global fashion exhibitions, questioning the reasoning behind the trend and if fashion can really be considered museum-worthy art. A very worthwhile read for anyone who’s ever seen a curated fashion exhibit. {NY Times}
