Tits and Tires: The Pirelli Calendar from 1964 to Today

The famed Pirelli calendar, a tradition dating back to 1964, was unveiled today in Brazil–the setting for this year’s calendar shot by photojournalist Steve McCurry. For a calendar that’s become famous for its steamy nudes and titillating full-frontals, McCurry’s work is definitely a departure. In an effort to make this year’s “a ‘calendar of the Read more →

Mario Testino Talks Muses and Models (and the ‘New Kate Moss’) at His First US Exhibition

Mario Testino is one of the most recognized photographers in the world, known for his work in the fashion industry and his intimate portraits of the British Royal Family. Even though he has released several books and been the subject of London’s National Portrait Gallery’s most successful exhibition to date, he is only just now getting his first US exhibition in an unexpected place: the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Click through to check out pictures from the opening and hear what Testino himself had to say about the new exhibit and his model muses.

Anna Wintour on Luring Mario Testino to Vogue

There’s no doubt that Anna Wintour and Mario Testino have a close working relationship–a fact that was underscored last night, at the opening of Testino’s first US exhibition, “In Your Face,” held at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Given the number of shots in the exhibition that come from Vogue editorials–and the number of Vogue covers Testino consistently shoots every year–it’s obvious there’s something between Anna and Mario that makes for great photos.

So, when I saw Anna (looking fabulous in Prada S/S 2013, by the way) chatting with Vogue European editor-at-large Hamish Bowles at last night’s cocktail reception (more on that later) I knew I had to ask them what it is about Mario that makes him one of Vogue‘s go-to photographer.

Cara Delevingne Takes Over the Spring 2013 Runways (And Our Hearts)

“Is it just me, or is Cara Delevingne everywhere this season?” asked the Twitterverse. So just what is it about Cara?

We counted 55 trips down the catwalk at all four international fashion weeks, including some seriously major shows like Oscar de la Renta, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Chanel.

But what really sets Cara apart from her model compatriots is her personality.

Nicole Kidman Bares Her Bum For V, Says She Became Sexual by Reading Books

Nicole Kidman Bares Her Bum For V, Says She Became Sexual by Reading Books

We would like to begin by bringing to your attention that Nicole Kidman is 45 years old. No, that’s not a typo: 4-5. Just let that sink in for a second.

Great. Now let’s start over.

Here is Nicole Kidman–nearly all of Nicole Kidman–gracing the giant fold-out cover of V Magazine‘s upcoming Travel Issue, on stands August 30. The ‘skirt’ (server belt? Low-slung cummerbund?) is apparently Chanel–though it’s unclear whether it’s intended for an adult or toddler–and really doesn’t leave much to the imagination. In the interview accompanying the decidedly 80s-inspired spread (shot by Mario Testino and styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele), Kidman admits that she regrets not getting a little wild at times:
