Marni x H&M Gets the Editorial Treatment

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

On the road to El Dorado in the Spring issue of Open Lab magazine, stylist Oliver Fussing was one of the first to fuss over the Marni x H&M collection. Shot by Simon B. Mørch on Elite‘s androgynous model (not the 17th century Austrian painter)  Gustav Klimt, the Marni print shouts easy living on a wild ride. It’s like looking at the world through blue colored glasses (by Mykita x Moncler). See how they paired it with Pendelton, and pared it down with Weekday x Bruno Pieters. Hot collaborations all around. 

Modeling Schools are a Total Waste of Time and Money

I am sure you have all seen those adverts saying, “…become a top model…”.  Or “You can become a model in only 6 weeks…” etc.

Wall Street Makes an Elite Defeat

Edited by Kirby Marzec

The modeling industry isn’t just about smiling wide and looking pretty. Oh no, like any other big business it’s about money in the bank and with the recent economy slump, Elite had to cut 60 girls from their lives of glamour, fame and jet-setting. No worries though, big names like Coco Rocha, Alice Burdeau, Emma Beam, and Stephanie Carta are still rocking catwalks and magazine covers. But for those of you America’s Next Top Model fans, we’re not exactly sure what is going to happen to recently signed reality show rejects Anya and Katarjyna. Rumor has it that they are “out of town.” Sure. 

It’s a shame Elite couldn’t find it in their hearts to can “It” girl Harley Viera Newton. Yuck.
