BryanBoy is used to getting tons of attention in the world of fashion–after all, he has admitted to bagging six figures a year and rubs (slender) shoulders with the likes of Anna Wintour, which isn’t too shabby for a totally self-made blogger. But as the newest addition to the America’s Next Top Model cast, is Read more →
My life consists of exactly two time periods: B.T. and A.T. (Before and After Tyra). B.T. was a pretty dark time for me. For twenty-five long, wasted years, I thought I didn’t love Tyra Banks. But things are different now: Enter A.T. Last night, I attended a preview screening of America’s Next Top Model‘s season Read more →
OMG you guys, this is beyond #totesamaze. After trying again and again to land a spot on America’s Next Top Model (watch here and here), P’Trique has finally accomplished his goal. That’s right, everybody’s favorite fashion viral super star is set to appear on the upcoming season of the show. Fashion dreams do come true!!
It’s not very often that an America’s Next Top Model contestant stays in the headlines after her cycle ends. But for Isis King, it seems like her time in the spotlight has just begun. King, who appeared in the eleventh season of Tyra Banks‘s model-search reality show, was the first openly transgender person to compete. And despite finishing in tenth place, she’s managed to be one of the few contestants who’s actually gone on to star in a high-profile campaign–in ads for American Apparel‘s new ‘Legalize Gay’ tee line, a collaboration with GLAAD, and the company’s first campaign to feature a transgender person.
We talked to Isis about how she got involved in the history-making campaign, where she thinks trans people stand in the fashion world today (she says there’s a ‘don’t ask don’t tell policy’), and being a role model for the transgender community.
2011 was an incredibly entertaining year for Andrej Pejic stans like us: We got to see him modeling push-up bras, wear a vintage Versace skirt to meet the Queen of England, and writhe around dressed as a sexy Marilyn Monroe.
And luckily for us, it’s looking like 2012 may once again be the year of Mr. Pejic. Here’s a first look at androgyny’s prettiest poster-boy in his February ’12 cover spread for Canada’s Fashion Magazine, photographed by Moo King, complete with gem-filled commentary that once again proves his wit is as sharp as those cheekbones.
Model Ashley Smith is staging a fashion industry takeover. Blonde, buxom, and beautiful, Ashley has the frame of Freja with a Lara sized chest, and if there was ever a moment to be busty, it’s now. Aside from shooting with Terry Richardson, posing for Russh Beauty, and causing Mert & Marcus to fall “in love with her,” Ashley has the personality of a true supermodel.

Despite our excitement that Whitney Thompson won the latest Top Model crown, there’s no doubt that the show is getting more boring by the season – not quite Hills boring, but almost… So it was interesting to hear Tyra Banks admit in her recent interview with The New York Times that she, too, was bored Read more →
Much like the blonde and preening Whitney, America’s Next Top Model improves its own performance every week. Especially impressive are this season’s photo shoots, which actually resemble real magazine spreads – last week’s Nu Rave Spin-Art session looked dangerously close to a past POP editorial, while this episode’s music shoot was straight out of Conde Read more →
Our baby Nicholas Routzen just finished a very interesting assignment: Photographing Saleisha Stowers for the cover of Florida International Magazine. We’ve never heard of it, but we like Saleisha’s odd makeup in the shots – It reminds us a lot of our favorite Miami hotel, The Standard, where you can get an incredible colored mud Read more →
To: Faran@fashionista.com From: Insider@BigDesigner.com So I got a call from Jade, the crazy Top Model contestant who was just a terror. It was actually her agent asking if I was interested in booking her for fashion week in February… She called her the “million dollar face.” I’m not doing the booking anyway, and c’mon, it’s Read more →
We hear from a source that although Saleisha has indeed signed her Elite contract and strolled through their New York office, she won’t be hitting the New York Fashion Week circuit – in fact, the agency won’t even be sending her on runway castings. Also, although Elite models are routinely signed for three-year contracts, the Read more →
While some Top Model junkies debate whether the competition was rigged in favor of winner Saleisha Stowers, the newest reality winner has arrived in New York. We hear Ms. Saleisha visited the Elite offices in Manhattan for the first time yesterday, though she wasn’t sent out on any go-sees because she was too busy getting Read more →
