FASHION QUOTABLES: Pink

Apparently Pink recently got a little annoyed by Kanye’s affinity for wearing fur.  She sat near him at the Stella McCartney show in January, and noted…

“The entire time Kanye was going, ‘They need more fur in this show.’ He just wouldn’t shut up about how much he loved fur. I

SPREAD UM: Vlada Roslyakova for Numero Tokyo July/August 2009

Vlada Roslyakova covers the July/August 2009 issue of Numero Tokyo. In the editorial, shot by David Vasiljevic and styled by Victoria Adcock, the Russian model plays the part of 80’s jailbait.

The Valley Girl themed story features high ponytails, big bows, lace, and denim, as far as Madonna’s eye can see.

WTF!?! Britney Spears

The NY Post is reporting — according to one of those great, anonymous, yet somehow reliable sources — that during a recent photoshoot for ELLE, Britney Spears made quite an impression on her stylist.

“They dressed her in all these beautiful couture clothes — and, well, let’s just say she forgot what

ADDICT: Hilary Rhoda for Neiman Marcus, S/S 2009

In her time off the runway, Hilary Rhoda has been racking up the print campaigns. She’s a pro at doing upper-class luxury; polished and statuesque, she just always looks the part. So appropriately, Mark Seliger has clicked her for Neiman Marcus’ campaign for Spring/Summer 2009.

SPREAD UM: Anja Rubik and Natasha Poly for Paris Vogue, June 2009

For the June/July 2009 issue of Paris Vogue, Anja Rubik and Natasha Poly are on the move in “A Toutes Jambes,” a sexy, whimsical editorial with lots of velocity.

Styled by Emmanuelle Alt and shot by Terry Richardson, the bright spread showcases sheer patterned legwear.

Anja Rubik also takes the cover of the

ADDICT: Sasha P by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel

Sasha Pivovarova is really churning out the Chanel ads! Following her campaign for the S/S 2009 collection (including eyewear), Sasha P. posed for Karl Lagerfeld himself in the Pre-Fall 2009 collection, also called the Paris-Moscow collection. She’s actually still able to stand out from amidst all the elements of dark,

SPREAD UM: Jamie Bochert for Numero, April 2009

This spread is a couple months old, but still gorgeous. The Greg Kadel-shot spread for the April 2009 issue of Numero is dark yet luminous. “Lady Lafayette” is a Spring spread, but the color palette draws on much richer colors to complement the pale skin and angular features of Patti-Smith-lookalike Jamie

MAG HAG: Winona Ryder for ELLE UK, July 2009

What year is it? Winona Ryder appears to be attempting a comeback, and has landed the July 2009 issue of ELLE UK.

Matthias Vriens McGrath photographed her in a D&G corset and black nails.  The cover is bright, pretty straight-forwardly Spring, and Winona is still looking good!  Can’t wait to see

SPREAD UM: Chloe Sevigny for ELLE, June 2009

Chloe Sevigny posed for an under-the-radar, but great editorial in the June 2009 issue of ELLE (Megan Fox cover).

While we’re all tired of reading that the secret to great style is mixing high and low, I always like seeing it in action, especially when Kate Lanphear is doing the styling.

SPREAD UM: The Natural

For “The Natural,” a spread in the May 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon, stylist Charlotte Stockdale worked within a world of juxtaposition.

Emma Summerton photographed Eniko Mihalik in wild dirty hair with structured dresses and clean tulle, and shiny bare skin against a background of white drapery and wood.

Terry Richardson shot Brazilian male model Marlon Teixeira for the Sergio K S/S 2009 collection.

The final shots of the ad campaign aren’t out yet, but these behind-the-scenes looks at the photoshoot are.  Marlon appears to be a spoiled little prince, free to eat pink desserts and lounge around the palace half

SHOP Nike | Gladiator Sandals, $$

These new gladiators are women’s sandals, but I know a few men who could pull off this sporty look.

Art Center College student Nancy Wu designed this Nike gladiator sandal for the label’s Remixed & Recut hybrid footwear line for S/S 2009.

Now selling at Colette , the sandals retail for 80

SPREAD UM: Stil-Stark, Vogue Germany, May 2009

Tesh shot Elena Melnik for this sleek editorial in the May 2009 issue of Vogue Germany.

Matador-inspired, yet still feminine, “Stil-Stark,” makes harem pants, absurdly high-waisted pants, and a single gold hoop earring, seem chic and doable, not costumey or pirate-like.

FASHION PORN: Luke Worrall by Hedi Slimane

Hedi Slimane shot Luke Worrall for an exclusive editorial on hedislimane.com.

I feel a little weird because he’s only 19, but him mugging like a mini-Billy Idol in the above photo makes it OK.

FIRST LOOK: Elizabeth & James Fall 2009

Some images from the Elizabeth & James Fall 2009 lookbook have started to circulate.

Reportedly inspired by Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, the images feature both the women’s and the men’s collections and the Olsens’ footwear collaboration line with Steve Madden.

The collection is full of slouchy blazers, high hemlines, fitted pants, a furry jacket,

FIRST LOOK: L.A.M.B. Fall 2009

It’s hard to believe that L.A.M.B., Gwen Stefani’s line with her stylist, Andrea Lieberman, and designer Zaldy Gogo,  is in its fifth year already.

But it’s still going strong, dressing Gwen for tours and music videos, and outfitting fans with clothes and accessories.   And staying true to form, L.A.M.B’s Fall/Winter 2009/2010 is

Madonna Does the Tush Push

Yesterday Amber Rose Twittered this photo — apparently Madonna got all up on her butt at last week’s Met gala.   I just hope this isn’t the “Before” picture of anything that went on later that night.  

And I probably don’t want to know where Jesus Luz is.

ADDICT: Peaches Geldof for Ultimo

After posing for Agent Provocateur last fall, Peaches Geldof can’t seem to keep her clothes on. British lingerie brand Ultimo has recruited her to be the face of Miss Ultimo’s Summer 2009 collection.

You probably know Ultimo for bringing us images of a very fit Mel B. last year. “Miss Ultimo” seems

SPREAD UM: Ginnifer Goodwin by Steven Klein for W, June 2009

The June 2009 feature editorial in W Magazine is a bold choice – not just for cover girl Ginnifer Goodwin, who just seems so clean and normal to me (I mean, she was in a campaign for The Gap!), but also for the magazine itself. (Previous cover stars this year include Madonna

Maciek Kobielski shot Diana Dondoe and Cartwright Lee for Rock & Republic’s Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign.

As is usual for Rock & Republic, the images are sexy without being obscene – so there aren’t a lot of clothes.  But the looks that are there are of course sleek and rock-inspired.

Luis Monteiro shot Jennifer Pugh for this beautiful spread in British magazine Tatler.

I’m not really familiar with Jennifer, and the concept is pretty simple — but she looks great in gothic-inspired styling set against a barren landscape and white buildings.
