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.

Stormy Weather: Our Favorite Tempestuous Editorials and Campaigns

Storms, like the one that’s currently headed for New York and just cancelled my Montauk trip, can be scary and sometimes even dangerous, so everyone be careful this weekend! That being said, they can also make for intriguing backdrops and themes in fashion editorials and ad campaigns. You’d be hard-pressed to find an Annie Leibovitz-lensed photograph that takes place outdoors without some ominous-looking clouds. Somehow, they can make any subject look so much more captivating and dramatic.

So, on this rainy, gloomy day, we’ve decided to round up some of our favorite storm-inspired fashion photographs. Enjoy and please be safe!

Here’s Gwyneth Paltrow’s Coach Ad, Which You Won’t See in the US

By Cheryl Wischhover Wednesday, Jul 20, 2011 / 8:29 AM

Gwynnie’s new Peter Lindbergh-lensed ads for Coach starting popping up yesterday–here it is! As we mentioned a few months ago, this campaign will only be seen in international glossies. We here in the US will have to get our smiley Gwyneth fix elsewhere (or cough up for international editions). She looks very happy, very pretty, and almost preternaturally American. Which perfectly describes the Coach brand, actually. Read more »

Behind the Scenes at David Yurman’s New York-Inspired Fall Ad Campaign With Alex White and Arizona Muse

If there is such a thing as fashion heaven, it was the set of David Yurman‘s fall ad campaign last week. Imagine budding models Arizona Muse and Joan Smalls, styled by Alex White, posing in front of legendary fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh‘s lens. In a word, epic.

On a sunny Friday morning, we were lucky enough to sneak onto the set at Fraunces Tavern in the Financial District of Manhattan with this all-star team. When we first arrived at the historic tavern, we expected to be intimidated and awestruck, but instead, we felt as if we had walked into a family get together. Both White and Lindbergh have worked with the Yurman clan, who were also on set, for many years.

But though the brand assembled all of their usual suspects, there was one something different about the campaign–New York.

Exclusive: Garance Dore’s Behind-the-Scenes Footage of David Yurman’s Fall 2010 Campaign

We all know that industry legend Peter Lindbergh is the “official” David Yurman photog, but this season, the fine jewelry firm decided to take its campaign a step further.

While Lindbergh was shooting Kate Moss in St. Barths, Garance Dore tagged along, creating a behind-the-scenes series of stills that will live on Yurman’s Facebook page.

We got our hands on one of Garance’s images, where you can see Moss posing for Lindbergh.

Welcome Back: Peter Lindbergh in Vogue After 18 Years

July’s American Vogue features fashion great Peter Lindbergh’s first spread for the publication in 18 years. Lindbergh shot Natalia Vodianova and Ewan McGregor acting out family scenes in a setting that’s part Mad Men and part A Single Man.

The ’60s themed fake family is a fashion mag mainstay, and Natalia has been acting the love interest in Vogue for years, alongside everyone from Diddy to her own hubby Justin Portman.

But we think Lindbergh’s spread is decidedly different from the rest–click through to find out why.
