Viv Westwood Thinks You’re Ugly, Top Model Thinks It’s British and Stella McC Thinks She’s an Episode of “Glee”
Edited by Lester Brathwaite
- ”People have never looked so ugly… We are so conformist, nobody is thinking. I’m a fashion designer and people think ‘what do I know?’ but I’m talking about all this disposable crap. So I’m saying buy less, choose well, make it last.” — delightful harridan Vivienne Westwood. [Guardian]
- Speaking of delightful harridans, these paper dolls of Dame Maggie Smith‘s sublime Dowager Countess from Downton Abbey are everything. Ever. [Vulture]
- America’s Next Top Model is still happening. Now in its 18th cycle, this time around it’s a “British Invasion” with seven British models versus seven American models. Sort of like a 21st century Revolutionary War with bikinis and smizing. [The Cut]








Should we be surprised that the fashion industry’s top models look stunning, even with their hair greased, knotted, matted and tangled? Photographed by Steven Meisel, models Amber Valletta, Freja Beha Erichsen, Lara Stone, Monika Jagaciak, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Angela Lindvall, Joan Smalls, Giedre Dukauskaite and Gwen Loos look stunning in Voge Italia’s April 2010 issue.
