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 Bochert.

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 how they styled her editorial.

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.
Lanphear draws on a tamed-down ’80s supermodel aesthetic – in the Carrie-Bradshaw-wears-a-big-blazer-as-a-dress kind of way, and luckily not in a magenta spandex kind of way.
Keeping the looks true to Chloe’s personal image, the spread mixes basics from American Apparel, The Gap, and Express, with pieces from Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim. Lanphear, typically heavy into accessorizing, decorates Chloe with luxury belts, detailed leather boots and bags, and statement jewelry.

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 naked. Are you into that?

WE LOVE THESE NIKE GLADIATOR SANDALS. They are so amazing and perfect for anyone looking for a summer look that’s a little more sporty than the traditional flip flop.
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.

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.

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.

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, and lots of black.

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 unabashedly Vivienne Westwood-inspired, and in line with Gwen’s off-stage image.
Full of leather, plaid, fitted jackets, and oversize collars, the collection has just enough of a rock n roll flavor to keep it from being costumey.
GALLERY: L.A.M.B. F/W 2009/2010.
