10 Fashion Stars of the 17th Annual Out 100

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Andrej Pejic gets wrapped up in Nastassja Kinski. Brad Goreski channels Yves Saint Laurent. And Nicola Formichetti holds up two pork shanks. Is this just another day in the glamorous life? Yes, but it’s also Out Magazine‘s homage to some of the fashion industry’s best and gayest. For their 17th Annual Out 100 list, the mag enlisted the talents of Gavin Bond to create portraits inspired by iconic photos of the past. Mining the catalogs of Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, among others, Bond’s photos serve a fitting tribute to the 100 queens, trannies, lesbians, and other assorted queers that showed that if things don’t necessarily get better, they at least get fabulous.

Bookclubbin’: Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Marisa Berenson has led the kind of charmed, impossibly chic and devastatingly fashionable life that is all but impossible to replicate today.  If only because charm, chicness and style are all but impossible to find today. Having lived her entire life in front of the camera — Marisa’s christening portrait appeared in Vogue and she covered Elle magazine with sister Berinthia “Berry” Berenson when she was five – guest editor and longtime friend Steven Meisel collected some of Berenson’s most iconic photographs, as well as personal pics of friends and families, in Rizzoli‘s goregous new tome, Marisa Berenson: A Life in Pictures (2011).

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

A noticeable cloud has fallen over Manhattan. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, the critically-acclaimed and commercially record-breaking retrospective on the late designer, hath closed. What to do?! Where to go?! Why go on?! But before you stab yourself in the face with an armadillo heel, check out these five fashion-related museum exhibits in and around New York.

I’m Ready for My Close-Up, Mr. Testino: The 10 Most Editorial Actresses

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Anna Wintour has been credited/blamed/lauded/criticized for the current proliferation of celebrity-driven magazine covers of the past 15 years or so. Love it or hate it, a model has a better chance winning a Pulitzer than landing a U.S. Vogue cover — with a few notable exceptions. While stars are rightfully and contractually beautiful, however, not all of them can cut the couture mustard. Then there are those ladies who love the camera and the camera is kind of obsessed with them. Here, the 10 actresses who give the best editorial — and give models a run for their money — are given the countdown treatment.

IN REVIEW: Extreme Beauty In Vogue

Edited by Kirby Marzec

There’s nothing like having high quality prints of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and several other established photographer’s work in the confines of your own home. I had the opportunity to snag a copy of Dolce & Gabbana’s collaborated photo compilation, Extreme Beauty In Vogue, before it hit’s shelves in October, and I must admit, I feel like a child staring at a picture book, completely mesmerized by every photo. Edited by Phyllis Posnick with an essay by Eva Respini, Extreme Beauty In Vogue exposes photographic, stylistic and journalistic perceptions of female beauty and opinions on allure. Featuring two centuries of work, the evolution of cultural attitudes on women is exposed in this coffee-table must have. And for those of you hung up on Vogue’s typical conservatism, there’s enough nipples, asses, bestiality and blood to suit your fancy. Shove your Beatles anthology to the side folks, because this $55 investment is what your dinner guests should be snooping through!

Extreme Beauty In Vogue

With spring break just around the corner, I find it more likely that some indies will be making the transatlantic  journey to Milan for a fabulous fashion themed getaway. If you happen to be one of those lucky few, I advise that you make time to visit Milan’s Palazzo della Ragione for the “Extreme Beauty In Vogue” exhibit. In honor of Dolce & Gabbana’s makeup collection debut, the exhibit analyzes the role of beauty in modern culture via Vogue spreads over the past 75 years. The breathtaking works of world renowned photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Irving Penn, Richard Avedon and Steven Klein appear in the exhibit created and curated by American Vogue. Excuse me while I go book plane tickets to Italy.
