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 »
In the world of fashion there is a small yet consistent collection of photographers who get the majority of work for major publications and brands. In fact, many of them seem to have quite the monopoly on the fashion world. Legends like Richard Avedon and Irving Penn continued to work prolifically up until the time they passed away, and that seems to be what is so great about being behind the camera instead of in front of it. Top photographers are given the chance to work for years in an industry where most figures are in one day and out the next.
But how do we differentiate one top photographer from another? We’ll show you what to look for from visual style, what publications they regularly appear in, as well as recent ongoing collaborations with brands and models of some of the top working fashion photographers of today.

Madonna’s been pretty tight-lipped about W.E., the movie’s she’s currently directing and co-wrote. The plot has something to do with King Edward VIII’s affair with American socialite Wallis Simpson (they later married), played by James D’Arcy and Abbie Cornish. And Lourdes Leone will be taking a break from blogging to make her acting debut in the film. It’s Madonna’s second time directing, and she told Interview that this film has a “bigger story” and will be “more layered and complicated” than Filth and Wisdom, her directorial debut.
For her second attempt at directing, Madonna is pulling out the big guns. Some exclusive photos sent to us by a tipster show that she’s getting some high profile high fashion help. Looks like famed fashion photog Steven Klein is giving her Madgesty some advice while on set in Brooklyn last week. Of course it’s not the first time Madonna and Klein have worked together. The two paired up for an exhibition back in 2003, and he shot her for several editorials. Hopefully this bodes well for W.E. making a bigger splash than Filth and Wisdom.
