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.

Carine Roitfeld’s Barneys Lookbook For Less

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 13:46:27 +0000

While she is no longer the editrice of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld is still turning it out, now on her own terms. In her latest project, she styled the Barneys lookbook, gathering a collection of werqing women that move her, and dressed them in that way that made French Vogue so epic. Here, we’ve taken five of our favorite looks and (though we’d love to go to Barneys for them, a. these pieces are not available online, and b. pshh we wish) found their essences for less.

Izabel Goulart, a Brazilian model whom Carine discovered at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, turns it in a Mugler top.

For a cut-out zig, zag into this ribboned and mesh-topped tunic from Topshop for $66.

For the zag on a long sleeve shirt, check out what Karl Lagerfeld did for Macy’s for $99. Pair it with Tom Ford sunglasses for a killer downtown look.

INDIE NOSTALGIA: Malgosia Bela Covers Herself on the Cover of Muse

Amanda Gabriele — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:53:12 +0000

Sure this cover of Muse is from Spring 2011, but we love it so much, we had to share it again. Malgosia Bela covers, well, herself on the cover, photographed by Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi. Good way to kick-off Labor Day weekend, no?

Curated by Luigi Murenu, Malgosia truly is a modern muse for Muse. What’s your favorite cover of 2011 to date?

Roberto Cavalli Features Fringe, Turquoise & Python For Spring 2001 Ads

Amanda Gabriele — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 12:58:49 +0000

In true Roberto Cavalli fashion, the spring 2011 ad campaign features over-the-top looks and an energetic mood. Photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, models Laetitia Casta, Joan Smalls and Malgosia Bela show off the ornate clothing in front of a bright background. Although the garments are made of leathers and prints in handsome neutrals, the bright outlook for spring shines through.

It’s Lunchtime? I’m Too Busy Obsessing Over the Spring Nina Ricci Campaign

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:36:26 +0000

The lighting, the colors! What’s not to love about this ad from the spring 2011 Nina Ricci campaign shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin? Shot at the Greenwich Hotel in NYC, Malgosia Bela stars in Creative Director Peter Copping‘s first advertisements for the brand.

I love the contrast of the ruffled light pink dress against the electric pink and purple hues of the background scene. What a fabulous first campaign from Copping. What do you think?

The new Chloe ads are our and they feel like a true blast from the past. It’s almost as if they would fit perfectly well in the 1970′s. Raquel Zimmermann & Malgosia Bela star in the ads which were shot by famed photographer by Mario Sorrenti.

Halloween is my number one anticipated day of the year, and this Tim Burton editorial showcases why. The excess of black and drama infused clothing is what my dreams are made of. To see Malgosia Bela, Sophie Srej and Evelina Mambetova live in my fantasy land check the gallery.

FASHION PORN: Everywhere Kiss Me

Kirby Marzec — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:38:04 +0000

The i-D Magazine April 2009 spread, “Everywhere Kiss Me,” looks more like a 1980s ‘Girls Gone Wild’ still shot than a fashion editorial. Shot by photographer Katja Rahlwes, model Malgosia Bela bears all, slaps on the seduction and rocks the hooker heels for i-D. The style is rather simple, a whole lot of denim a and whole lot of skin. To be honest, I’d completely skip over this editorial while reading the magazine. What’s another pair of boobs? What’s another blue-jean jacket? What’s another sultry bed pose? Yawn.

Thanks Fashion Copious!

Wow. Is it just me, or does this Malgosia Bela for Chanel ad look dated? Not retro, but dated?
