Because we would like it with Georgia Frost on the cover, in two or three months, shot by Steven Meisel. Just saying.
Marquita Pring, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley--all "plus" size models--are the stars of Vogue Italia's June issue. Whereas Pring was once relegated to Vogue Italia's "curves" section online, this month she's just another model in a smoldering black and white 10-page Elizabeth Taylor-inspired editorial for the mag shot by Steven Meisel. Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley grace the cover. "Never before have four curvier girls been in a spread shot by Steven Meisel with no specific purpose at all," Pring said. "No size issue, no color issue. Just beautiful, normal Italian Vogue." Pring kept a diary during the two-day shoot. She chronicled everything--her nerves, emotions, the clothes, the makeup (the makeup artist uses what she calls the "Naomi kit" on Marquita which is usually used for Naomi Campbell), and how it felt to get naked for Steven Meisel--minute by minute. The shoot, Pring says, was "one of the most incredible experiences of my career/life." But she almost missed out on it.
For next month's cover of Vogue Italia, Steven Meisel shot Raquel Zimmermann in a crowd of suits, slightly jostled but holding her own on what is meant to be the A-train. We think this is the only time the MTA has ever been stylish. The accompanying editorial is appropriately titled "The Commute" and features Zimmermann as various incarnations of NYC girls, all of whom we've seen on the subway before (albeit in much lower-priced versions of Zimmermann's looks). Check out the gallery to see the entire 14-page spread. What's your favorite NYC style?
WHICH not-quite socialite has her polite publicist pitching writers on "her favorite places to shop in Brooklyn?" This would only be mildly annoying,
We've already gotten a look of Kate Upton's first-ever Vogue cover, and now Vogue Italia has released the corresponding editorial and video, shot by Steven Meisel and Gordon Von Steiner, respectively. The video is undoubtedly high fashion, but it's high fashion the Upton way (read: over-the-top sexy).
