Julia Nobis Too Thin to Cover T? Deborah Needleman Doesn’t Think So

While we see T as more of a fashion magazine, many New York Times subscribers probably don’t. As people who look at images from fashion magazines and runways on a daily basis, we didn’t give this T cover featuring Julia Nobis in a swimsuit and leather jacket a second thought–at least not for any other reason than the impracticality of wearing a leather jacket over a swimsuit.

However, several readers–whose eyes are probably less accustomed than ours to seeing unrealistically thin people everywhere—complained about how shockingly thin and underage Nobis looked on the cover and in the accompanying editorial.

Deborah Needleman, T‘s EIC, however, disagrees.

Hedi Slimane Shoots Julia Nobis, Edie Campbell for his First Saint Laurent Campaign

We’re grateful the world didn’t actually come to an end overnight–if only to see Hedi Slimane’s first ever womenswear campaign at the helm of Saint Laurent.

The designer photographed Australian model Julia Nobis for “Part 1″ of Saint Laurent’s spring campaign and Edie Campbell for “Part 2.” They’re both perfect embodiments of the Saint Laurent/Slimane ’70s California cool girl.

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week: Arnsdorf

SYDNEY–Rosemount Australian Fashion week (RAFW) kicked off yesterday in chilly Sydney, where homegrown labels showcased the season the land of surf and sun does best: summer.

Relaxed minimalism reigned supreme at Arnsdorf’s spring/summer 2012 collection entitled ‘The Circle.” Melbourne born, New York-based designer Jade Sarita Arnott took a detour from her signature aesthetic which is all about structure and volume, instead delivering a collection of soft tailoring in airy silks and linens that came across almost ethereally in their lightness and ease.

Julia Nobis opened the show in a stark white collarless blouse and skirt with mint detailing at the waist. The next few looks continued in the same color palette and featured halter neck dresses with bold side slits, tunics and paneled blouses.
