Would You Rather…? The Holy Supermodels Edition

By Steff Yotka Friday, Feb 10, 2012 / 6:00 PM

Religion has been a theme of many a fashion editorial, but it’s rare that a magazine with as broad a reach as W would publish two similar stories in a three year span. Read more »

Kate Moss Looks Dead in the Eyes on W‘s March Cover

By Cheryl Wischhover Thursday, Feb 9, 2012 / 3:04 PM

Kate Moss covers the March issue of W magazine, and it’s the most compelling cover we’ve seen in a long time. Shot by Steven Klein and styled by Edward Enniful, the theme is “Good vs. Bad.” Or as Will Self says in the profile of her (which you can read here) “Dark Moss and Light Moss. Bad Kate and Good Little Katie—simple dichotomizing is not what this dyad deserves.” Indeed. Read more »

Kate Moss and Lara Stone are Cats and Rachel Zoe is a Vampire in Love Issue 7

By Dhani Mau Monday, Jan 30, 2012 / 1:00 PM

We’re always overcome with excitement when a new issue of Love is due out, but a couple of images that have been unveiled from the next issue have us even more intrigued than usual. What we know is that the theme of Issue 7, due out February 6, is “After Taste” and Kate Moss, Lara Stone and Rachel Zoe, who has styled for the glossy before, are all involved. While the above Mario Testino-lensed image of our favorite European blonds Lara Stone and Kate Moss wearing floral and gold-embroidered cat ears (they’re credited as bunny ears on Love‘s site but that makes no sense) warms our hearts, we’re a little creeped out by how young Kate looks.

Fashion News Roundup: ‘Sh*t OscarPRGirl Says’ is Funny, Tim Gunn Hasn’t Been Laid Since 1983, and a Million People ‘Like’ Uggs

“Shit OscarPRGirl Says” Will Make You LOL: We get it, everyone’s really effing sick of all those “Shit [blank] Say” parodies. But just trust us (and WWD) on this one. It stars Andrew Mukamal, Erica Domesek, and John Jannuzzi and is really, really funny. And we won’t judge you for only using the Valencia filter on your Instagram after. OK we might a little. {WWD}

Tim Gunn is 29 Years Celibate: Sounds like someone’s not making it work in the bedroom. The Project Runway workroom mentor has revealed that an ex-lover so badly scorned him that he in turn completely gave up sex. I’m sorry Tim, but “this worries me.” {Celebuzz}

Kate Moss Gets Interviewed for Mango: In a behind the scenes video for her new Terry Richardson-shot Mango campaign, Kate talks the future of fashion videos and inadvertently shows us the vast difference that good lighting can make. {Modelinia}

Kate Moss is the New Face of Mango

By Dhani Mau Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 / 9:54 AM

Another season, another Kate Moss-fronted ad campaign.

In her first major campaign post-nuptials, Kate Moss has been announced as the new face of Barcelona-based retailer Mango. It’s not her first time working with the brand–she starred in a wacky video for them last year with her friend Terry Richardson, which Richardson directed for their fall 2011 runway show.

For spring 2012, Mango has signed both Moss and Richardson again for the print campaign. So, why Moss? Mango’s rationale for hiring Moss is probably similar to that of the many brands who have done the same. Read more »

11-Year-Old Daughter of Oasis’ Noel Gallagher Snags Modeling Contract, Kate Moss Comparisons

British fashion sites have been buzzing about a new face who is poised to take the modeling world by storm–some going as far as suggesting she may be the next Kate Moss. And at 11 years old, she’s one of the young ones. She also happens to be the offspring of rock royalty–and really, really pretty. We mentioned her in our news roundup yesterday, but here are some more details.

Anais Gallagher, who turns twelve in a couple of weeks, is the progeny of former Oasis member Noel Gallagher and his ex-wife Meg Matthews. It was Matthews’ proud tweet of a Mario Testino-lensed photo of her daughter that sent everyone into Anais Gallagher obsession. In fact, she tweeted the same photo twice in one day, which may be a little stage mom-ish, but we can hardly blame her–the photo (above) is gorge.

Fashion News Roundup: Kardashian Barbie Dolls Coming Soon, Kate Middleton Chooses Her Royal Charities, and Arizona Muse Covers February Vogue UK

Kardashian Sisters to be Barbie-fied: The Kardashian family’s way of combating the bad publicity following the end of Kim’s 72-day marriage is to continue their overexposure, as if the public isn’t already sick of them. The Kardashians struck up a deal with Mattel to create Barbie dolls which will not only look like them, but, as a source tells Us Weekly “reflect their measurements.” Barbie with a booty? We’ll have to see it to believe it! {UsMagazine}

The Duchess of Cambridge Chooses Her Charities: As part of her royal duties, Duchess KMidd has finally chosen the four charities she will patronize: the National Portrait Gallery (so they’ll be sure to paint her looking extra fierce), Action on Addiction, East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, and The Art Room, which provides art classes for at risk teens. All noble causes! {WWD (Subscription required)}

Apparently, People Are Buying Paris Hilton’s Fragrances: The socialite told FHM she’s made 1.3 billion in revenue off her fragrances since 2005. Yeah, we’re just as confused as you are. {JustJared}

From Moss to Kloss: The Most Buzzed About Models of 2011

2011 was definitely the year of the model. Models gained influence in pop culture, with new TV shows, documentaries, and larger features in magazines. It looks like editors will have to fight for their right to call themselves the “new models.”

And there were certainly enough big news stories to keep models in the headlines. From Kate Moss’ wedding to Jamie Hince, to a crop of new girls who instantly zoomed to the top, to both Karlie Kloss’ and Andrej Pejic’ topless photos that caused minor scandals, there’s been a lot to talk about in modeling.

We’ve collected the models that created the most industry buzz in 2011, from Moss to Muse. Click through to find out which models created the most buzz in 2011!

Is David Bowie Fashion’s Muse of the Year? Daphne Guinness Joins Kate Moss, Anja Rubik As The Latest Model to Channel the Popstar

By Hayley Phelan Tuesday, Jan 3, 2012 / 10:34 AM


Now this is a side of Daphne Guinness we’ve never seen before! Sporting a red mullet, glam makeup and gold sequins, the typically goth socialite is almost unrecognizable in a David Bowie-inspired editorial for Vogue Germany, which we saw on Fashionising.

Lensed by Bryan Adams, the shoot completely nails Bowie’s glamrock sensibility. Plus, it’s fun to see Daphne in something other than skunk hair and all-black ensembles. However, we can’t help feeling that the whole thing is a little…familiar, no? Read more »

Fashion News Roundup: Louboutin and YSL Still at It, PETA Hates on Kim Kardashian and Janet Jackson, and Kate Moss’ Vogue Cover Gets Recycled

The Latest on YSL v. Louboutin: Yes, this is still happening. YSL’s lawyers have now filed their appeal against Christian Louboutin’s latest appeal, which was due by the end of 2011. Way back in April, Louboutin sued YSL for selling a (red) shoe with a red sole, claiming the famed footwear designer had put a trademark on scarlet soles in 2008 – which the judge then deemed invalid. But clearly, Chris L. wasn’t about to give up without a fight. Y’all got drama, the saga continues. {WWD}

PETA Names Janet Jackson, Kim Kardashian “Celeb Grinches”: Is wearing fur the same as hating Christmas? PETA, who sure has a way with biting commentary, called Miss-Jackson-if-you’re-nasty “just plain nasty” for her apparent love of animal pelts and collaboration with Blackglama. Fur-lover Kim K has also been blacklisted, unlike her “sweet sister Khloe” who starred in an anti-fur PETA ad. {Telegraph}

Kate Moss Vogue Cover Gets Dupli-Kated: What ever happened to originality (and budgets), people? Australian mag Madison‘s Jan 2012 cover is a more saturated version of Kate Moss’s Vogue Paris cover from June/July 2010. And you may remember that just a few weeks back, Carey Mulligan’s American Vogue cover was reincarnated as a French Elle cover. These photos are without a doubt lovely, but isn’t the point of a fashion mag to sell clothes? Pretty sure those outfits are out of season… {HuffPo}
