The designer photographed the model for Numéro's September issue. {The Front Row View} As for another prominent designer-cum-photographer, Hedi Slimane lensed Sky Ferreira in these press images, featuring "ethereal and sultry" makeup by Amy Chance. Those words don't always belong together, but in this case, it's accurate. {Bernstein & Andriulli} Gah! On Kanye West's Kris episode, he'll apparently give us a look at baby North. Audience members say that North looks like Kanye, but with Kim's huge almond-shaped eyes. Smart move, Kris, making us actually want to tune in to your show (but just this once). {Daily Mail}
Maybe it's because "Get Lucky" is stuck on a permanent loop in their brains like it is in ours, but the fashion world can't seem to get enough of Daft Punk. Specifically, they keep pressing repeat on these shiny editorials in which the masked Parisian robot-DJ hybrids sandwich a supermodel.
Sasha Pivovarova covers Vogue Russia in a punky getup with straight dark hair and bangs. She kinda looks like Rory Gilmore's alter-ego. {The Front Row View} Lindsay Lohan sort of matches her hair to her ladylike dress (well, aside from those bazoombas) to talk to Oprah about her alcohol addiction and "only" doing cocaine "10 to 15 times." Sure, Lindsay, that's practically zero times. {Salon} And for those of you wanting to dress like LiLo, good news! She's just launched a style blog. Sort of. {LindsayLohan.com} Google Glass is featured in Vogue in an attempt to make the cyborg look fashionable. Will it work? {New York Times}

Watch out Pippa, there's a new tush in town! {The Cut} Cara Delevingne is apparently to blame for the decline of an entire product market, just for having eyebrows.

You do the math. {Daily Mail} Amanda Seyfried mixes grunge and punk for the September issue of Glamour Paris. {Fashion Gone Rogue}
Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears have plenty in common: at one time or another, the teen pop princesses have both had millions of adoring fans, perfect abs, an "I'm-not-that-innocent" coming out phase, paparazzi struggles, and very public haircuts. Now the pals can add another little something to their list of commonalities: a Teen Choice Awards outfit made almost entirely of...waistbands.
If you needed a surefire sign that fall is finally on the way, and you live in a concrete jungle with legit zero trees that could even potentially have leaves that change color, look no further: The September issues are (almost) here! And we've got 'em all.
Marc Jacobs and his multitude of tattoos get profiled in New York Magazine's September issue--he says "Who cares?" if he regrets them later in life. Perhaps the best one of all is Jacobs's super-meta cartoon version of himself, complete with mini-versions of his other actual tattoos... um, just look at it. {The Cut} Rihanna's third collection for River Island is here!

Robert Pattinson's first ad for Dior Homme Fragrance is finally here, but you can barely see him--and sadly, he's not shirtless. Come on, Dior, we wanted to gaze longingly into R. Patz's eyes--or abs! {Dior's Twitter} Shoe designer Sam Edelman is expanding his empire from the feet up to produce a line of sportswear. His ideal customer is a girl who lives on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter... pretty sure he's pegged like 80% of the population there. {WWD, subscription required} Justin Bieber apparently got into a fight involving an H&M bowtie... but what's even more ridiculous is that he had his bodyguards beat up a fellow club-goer "like he was in Die Hard." Grow up, dude. It's time. {The Cut}
Selena Gomez covers i-D Magazine and tries out androgyny for the spread. It's a refreshing departure from all her recent glittery sexiness. {i-D} And then there's the queen of glittery sexiness: Rihanna was spotted twerking on the street in a super-shiny swimsuit with a little veil at home in Barbados. To be fair, it was Carnivale... but we're pretty sure she'd do this any old day. {Us Weekly} Our other favorite twerker, Miley Cyrus, starred a hip-hop chic new shoot for Notorious Magazine and denied allegations that she is just a "rachet white girl."

Yup.{The Front Row View} How does Martha Stewart constantly manage to find herself in the middle of trouble?

"I think there are many people like me who've noticed mainstream fashion bloggers are starting to rep the same brands and styles," Shit Bloggers Wear founder Cecilia Doan tells us. "The endorsements are becoming more obvious. Everyday people choosing hype and status over cultivating their own sense of style.
