Having paged through my fair share of Vogues since acquiring my first issue some ten years ago, I’ve picked up a trick or two. There are certain poses models always do – poses that are “classic Vogue.” So to master these is to get one horse-like step closer to those hallowed, glossy editorial pages.

See what happens when the superstars of fashion fashion themselves for Halloween. When you play dress up for a living, the result can be quite spectacular. Like, what was Lily Donaldson? Did Richard Chai go mental? Is Terry Richardson really under there? Look if you dare, don’t get spooked.

We have been all about the Brits since the Royal Wedding last month, so any news about our friends across the pond is good news. We love a good party here at FashionIndie, especially one that involves live music. So when we heard the opening party for the first UK Burberry Brit store in London featured a live, in-store performance by ultra talented and adorable band Life in Film, we could not wait to check out the event. Click to see the party photos and a video of Life in Film playing in the Milan streets during Fashion’s Night Out.

Olivier Theyskens is one of the most singular designers in fashion today. His clothes are brooding, dramatic, poetic and above all beautiful, much like the designer himself. Shortly after dropping out of Belgium’s La Cambre Art Academy, one of his gowns ended up on Madonna‘s mannish back at the 1998 Oscars, thus propelling him to stardom. Documenting Theyskens road from precocious art star to his four seasons at Rochas and finally his brilliant but short-lived tenure at Nina Ricci was photographer Julien Claessens, whose haunting photos add another dimension to Theyskens sartorial creations and form the backbone for The Other Side of the Picture (Assouline, 2010).
