SPREAD UM: Dazed & Confused, February 09

I’m not completely sure what’s going on in this Dazed & Confused spread from the February 09 issue, but it’s crazy… and I like it. It appears to be a bananas Carnival, Brazilian jungle party extravaganza that I totally want to be a part of. Love that the photos are in black and white; it makes them that much more intriguing. Another job well done by the art department at D & C.

D&G: Slipping Under the Influence




This D&G spread in the January 09 issue of Dazed & Confused has me saying “I’ve seen better.” When I think of D&G’s models, I think of women, not girls. This underfed gal they chose for the spread does nothing to highlight the Italian brand’s aesthetic or sex appeal, but it might sell a few more lines of coke. And the photos are below average in artistic value compared to what I usually see in Dazed & Confused; the only one I really like is the last, with the hair and skirt blowing upward. Maybe the two just don’t work well together, but I hope to see things back up to par for both D&G and the magazine in the coming year.?

TrendSpark: Tattooed, Punk-Rock, Barely Legal Male Models
I was flipping through old issues of i-D, Dazed and Confused and Men’s Vogue while I was home in Buffalo over the holiday weekend. I knew I spotted a trend among male models, but it didn’t hit me until I saw Cole Mohr on the Marc by Marc Jacobs billboard in SoHo one last time…
The Trend: baby-faced, skinny, tattooed, pierced, punk rocking models who look like they just got kicked out of the high school homecoming dance for reeking of cheap beer. Bingo.
Punk boys have been all over the editorials and up and down the runways recently. I absolutely love the awkward, but adorable, high school dropout look…and It looks like I’m not the only one! With Marc Jacobs and Hedi Slimane as avid fans of this look, it seems that the baby-faced punks will be scoring high fashion editorials and shows for years to come. But sorry ladies, just because you look like a prepubescent rocker doesn’t mean your gauged ears and inked arms are fully acceptable in the high fashion industry. It’s unfair, I know…but that’s just the way it is.
Thanks for the photos Models.com!
