Go Behind the Scenes of the 2012 Pirelli Calendar

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 13:42:17 +0000

As you may have heard, the 2012 Pirelli Calendar came out this week and while Mario Sorrenti captured some beautiful images of Kate Moss, Lara Stone, Natasha Poly, Joan Smalls, Saskia de Brauw, Milla Jovovich, Isabeli Fontana and the other lovely ladies, this video puts the shoot in motion. Take a glimpse into the making of the calendar in Corsica and then consider a career in photography…particularly if you’re a heterosexual male. And I know there are at least three of your reading this.

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.

INDIE NEWSROOM: Kate Brings Out the Girls for Pirelli…Take a Look Through the Karleidoscope…Garage Mag Starting Off in the Garbage

- The first images from the 2012 Pirelli calendar — shot for the first time by a native Italian photog in Mario Sorrenti — feature Kate Moss, Rinko Kikuchi and Milla Jovovich in various states of undress. Other ladies stripping down for Sorrenti’s lens include that goddamn skank Isabeli Fontana, Saskia de Brauw and the perpetually naked Lara Stone. [Grazia]

Donna Karan Takes it To Court

Megan Turley — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 21:57:15 +0000

Lilo, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Casey Anthony. Court has been on the mind as of late, and not always in the most glamorous of ways. Not to worry, fashionistas! Donna Karan is here to soothe your high-heel-induced migraines (ahem, Michelle Bachman) and your sense of propriety with these amazing new images from her Fall/Winter 2011 campaign. The decidedly gray palette understatedly emphasizes the luxurious shapes and fabrics of the collection, and Isabeli Fontana‘s lawyer face makes me want to immediately take out student loans to go to law school (and to buy all of these clothes).

The campaign was shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, with creative director Trey Laird and stylist Nicoletta Santoro. Ruling: guilty of major fabulousness. Check out the images below and decide for yourself.

INDIE NEWSROOM: The Miseducation of Isabeli Fontana…Alexander McQueen Gone to the Dogs…Memoir of a Grace-a

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 21:20:51 +0000

- ~~Refugee~~ Reclusive diva Lauryn Hill has reporetedly been dumped by ~~that useless bastard who ruined her career~~ “husband” Rohan Marley for ~~slut~~ supermodel Isabeli Fontana. Sounds like someone’s eye was on something besides the sparrow. [Styleite]

- Getting gay married just got super convenient. And kinda trashy…er. [Refinery29]

- Alexander McQueen left the majority of his $26 million estate to charity, but not without providing for his loved ones: that includes $410,000 to each of his three sisters and two brothers; $82,000 each to his housekeeper, godson, nephews and nieces; and another $82,000 to his dogs. Those nephews and nieces probably should have paid a few more visits to Uncle Alex. Or at least peed on his rug. [Fashionologie]

FASHION SCRAMBLE: Galliano Axed from Galliano + Dolce Will Tumblr for Ya + J. Lo’s a Beauty

Lester Brathwaite — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 10:13:19 +0000

- A little less than two months after getting the sack from Christian Dior, John Galliano has officially been kicked out of the house that bears his name. Dior, which owns 91 percent of the Galliano label, has received interest from potential buyers, though with or without its namesake designer, the fashion show must go on; a pre-spring collection is reportedly being strung together. [WWD]

- Dolce & Gabbana revealed some behind the scenes images of their Fall campaign via Tumblr. Liu Wen, Maryna Linchuk, Constance Jablonski, Monika Jagaciak, Isabeli Fontana, and Kate King will star in the gender bending ads next season. [Modelina]

- Looks like somebody finally made a comeback. Jennifer Lopez has been named by People as the “World’s Most Beautiful Woman,” landing the cover of their annual “Beautiful People” issue. After years of subpar rom-coms and so-so albums, La Lopez has struck gold, not only as an American Idol judge (does anyone still watch that crap?) but as a spokesperson for anything that will have her. From Gucci to Venus Razors, J. Lo is shoving herself down our collective throats, and I couldn’t be happier gagging on her. [People]

- And a Happy Belated Birthday to our favorite creative director and cat lady, Grace Coddington, who turned 70 years young yesterday!

A Surefire Way to Move Product: Naked Supermodels

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 18:37:08 +0000

Supermodels, including Lara Stone (who’s never met a photoshoot she wouldn’t strip down for), Erin Wasson, Toni Garrn, Isabeli Fontana and Edita Vilkeviciute posed nude for a limited edition series of skateboards from Swiss brand Doodah for their Supermodels Skate Project.

These boards certainly give a new meaning to the “pop shove it” (I don’t know what that is, but Wikipedia says it’s skateboard lingo).

Jacques Dequeker shot Isabeli Fontana for a big spread in the May 2009 issue of L’Officiel Brasil. Though titled “Dominatrix,” the spread is a lot broader than black leather and bondage accessories. Instead, it’s part 80′s supermodel, part Hitchcock, and a perfect mix of tough and pretty.

COVER STORY: Isabeli Fontana For Vogue Brasil

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 17:46:53 +0000

I love this cover, the bright colored feathers as a mohawk hairpiece looks so awesome, and Fontana’s eyes look amazing. I’m really excited to see her spread in the magazine, because if it’s styled anything like the cover, it’s going to be wicked.

Believe it or not, while browsing this spread, Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black” shuffled its way onto my iTunes. Although Ironic and cliche, the song, in combination with the spread, just reaffirmed that black is A-ok for the spring. The editorial, shot by Jacques Dequeker featuring model Isabeli Fontana, really shows off the textures and shapes of these fierce black pieces. The spread itself isn’t anything groundbreaking, but the clothes, oh, the clothes. Forget my attempt at brightening it up this spring…bring on the black!

The May 2009 issue of Vogue is the Steven Meisel-shot “Model Issue,” and features a pull-out cover with “The Faces of the Moment.” (Is it just me, or is Natalia Vodianova having the longest moment ever?!)

It’s great, of course, to see models on a US cover (especially since not one of them is American!) but so many of these names are established already.

The cover features Liya Kebede, Natalia Vodianova, Anna Jagodzinska, Isabeli Fontana, Lara Stone, Jourdan Dunn, Raquel Zimmermann, Caroline Trentini and Natasha Poly.

Ad-dict: Missoni S/S 09 Shot by Steven Meisel

Amanda Gabriele — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 13:00:27 +0000

This Missoni ad is both beautiful and slightly disturbing to me. Steven Meisel photographed models Natasha Poly and Isabeli Fontana for the label’s latest campaign. I love the bright colors of the fabrics against the neutral tan sand. But the angle at which it’s shot combined with their makeup almost make them appear dead. I mean, not in a rotting corpse kind of way but something about it disturbs me. Don’t get me wrong though, I like it.

Thanks to Fashion Copious for the photo.
