“I think it’s wonderful [to be viewed as a sex symbol]. I didn’t decide I’m gonna be an actress cause I wanna be respected for how I play chess.”

Sølve Sundsbø shot Freja Beha Erichsen for the July 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon.
The black-and-white spread, titled ”My Cowgirl Hero,” is a grown-up and non-porny re-imagining of the traditional cowboy. The subtle matador influence keeps it in the high-fashion realm rather than in the rodeo.

Coco Rocha has left behind her redhead days (for now). According to a new photo on her blog, Coco has gone black. Her face is the kind of blank model palette that’s perfect for pulling off just about any look. I’d really like to see her as a platinum blond
The Omelle shoe collection for Fall/Winter 2009 has a neutral palette, which is kind of boring for Fall, but sort of recalls the Spring/Summer 2009 collection.
The interesting parts are the elements not often found in footwear, like pockets, buttons, and folds. The collection also draws on a variety of materials (showcasing
Miranda Kerr does her best eco-conscious Lady Godiva for the latest issue of Australian Rolling Stone.
The Sydney-born model covers the “Green Issue” to promote her partnership with the Australian Koala Foundation’s “No Tree, No Me” campaign.
I’m itchy just thinking about standing in the woods naked, but Miranda looks perfectly
I don’t know what’s more porny — Jesus Luz having his own name tattooed on his back, L’Officiel Hommes calling his spread “Ray of Light,” after the Madonna hit, or the model himself, wiggling around for the camera and contributing very little to the world of modeling.
In any case, someone up
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
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.

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
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.

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.
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,
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
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
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.

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
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
