Peak into the 2012 Pirelli Calendar by Mario Sorrenti

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:38:20 +0000

Over in the no-man’s land known as The Armory on the far east side of Manhattan, media from around the world gathered for the official launch of the 2012 Pirelli Calendar. Photographer Mario Sorrenti and models Natasha Poly, Joan Smalls, Isabeli Fontana and actress Rinko Kikuchi were also on hand to fête the 39th edition of the portfolio.

Sorrenti is actually the first Italian to photograph the Pirelli Calendar, whose past lensmen have included Herb Ritts (1994, 1999), Richard Avedon (1995, 1997), Bruce Weber (1998, 2003), Annie Leibovitz (2000), Mario Testino (2001), Peter Lindbergh (1996, 2002), Patrick Demarchelier (2005, 2008), Mert and Marcus (2006), Inez and Vinoodh (2007), Terry Richardson (2010) and last year, Karl Lagerfeld.

For the shoot in Corsica, Sorrenti chose mostly women with whom he had previously worked, including supermodel among supermodels Kate Moss, whom the photographer has known for some 20 years — the two worked together on the iconic Calvin Klein “Obsession” campaign when Sorrenti was just 21 and Moss was practically still in diapers. In the “Making of ” short film that preceded a Q&A with Sorrenti, he remarked that he “couldn’t do this without her.”

Check out all 25 images from the 2012 Pirelli Calendar, featuring Saskia de Brauw, Edita Vilkeviciute, Margareth Madè, Lara Stone, Guinevere Van Seenus, Malgosia Bela, Milla Jovovich, Fontana, Smalls,Poly and Moss.

Fake It Till You Sell It: W’s Faux Campaigns

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 21:01:31 +0000

Sprinkled throughout W’s November issue are some eye-catching ads featuring Linda Evangelista shilling shampoo, Joan Rivers (airbrushed into near oblivion) hawking furs and Anna Dello Russo slathered in anti-aging cream. These and six other tongue-in-cheek fauxmmercials were shot by Steven Meisel and styled by Edward Enninful, creating the kind of consumer confidence that only a toddler in a tiara and a naked drag queen can foster.

Extreme Makeover: Supermodels Edition

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 13:35:08 +0000

W‘s September issue is pretty epic. It arrived sans fanfare in the FashionIndie office yesterday and I immediately seized it within my eager claws, having witnessed the miracle that was the cover only a few days ago. In his first full issue, Edward Enninful makes his mark with a series of strong editorials, one of my favorites being “Transformers,” featuring a roster of superstar models in dramatic “Before” and “After” looks.

There are faces and there’s Linda Fucking Evangelista.

The 2011 CFDA Awards: And the Trova Goes To…

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:48:55 +0000

Bet you didn’t know the CFDA Award statuette was called the Trova. Also bet you didn’t know that Trova has his very own Twitter account. Well the little man-like thing went home with a bunch of different people last night — mostly men*, the skank — and the list of those lucky trophy snatchers follows after the jump.

10 Magazine Celebrates Ten Years With Legends In The Game

Jason Chan, Señor — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:16:18 +0000

Fashion rag 10 is celebrating their tenth this year so it only makes sense that they’d want to do it up. And do it up they have, putting legendary models Guinevere van Seenus and Tony Ward on their women’s and men’s covers, respectively. An example of how to celebrate in style and how to age gracefully.

SPREAD UM: “Sunday at the Park” Mert & Marcus for W Magazine September ’09

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 16:13:07 +0000

Lara Stone, Edita Vikeviciute and Guinevere Van Seenus star in this 40′s inspired editorial where tanning in your bra at the park and wearing Prada’s boots in the water is totally normal. I love that stylists are actually taking the boots fishing inspired roots into consideration.

SPREAD UM: Sanctuary, Guinevere Van Seenus by Mario Sorrenti

Monique Montagnese, Contributor — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:14:59 +0000

Lush is the word that immediately coms to mind while looking at this amazing editorial shot in Cumberland Island, Georgia. Guinevere Van Seenus literally looks like a bird about to fly away in this Alexander Mcqueen work of art. I’m amazed that she could move her arms at all, yet somehow Guinevere was able to look as graceful as dove. Check cult to see more amazing posing in this greenhouse-esque environment.

Can we now consider nipple tassels part of the fashion world?

Vogue UK wants you to think so, in their June “Show and Tell” spread.

Kate Moss Dropped Again for Agyness Deyn

Kristen Owe

Fashionista has reported a quite interesting ‘rumor.’ Supposedly, Calvin Klein is re-releasing CK One, one of his most popular fragrances. And, the greatest part, instead of Kate Moss and Marky Mark doing their best Zoolander kissy face pose, Kirsten Owen, Guinevere van Seenus and Agyness Deyn will be posing for the ad.

Interesting…Will they all be naked? And why don’t we have a guy in the mix here?
