INDIE REWIND: 10 Poses to Get You into Vogue

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:46:02 +0000

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.

Photos: Christopher Hall Photography

1. The Stride What you're thinking: I'm on my way to werq, get out of my way -- oh, look a camera -- I'm giving -- now I'm walking away. What you're doing: Walking slow enough to get in frame and making sure your legs are spread wide enough apart for a dynamic shot.

2. The Editorial Jump What you're thinking: You know I feel so great right now I'm just going to fly everywhere I go today, while still looking relatively motionless. Oh, look a unicorn...gorjuss. What you're doing: Squatting before jumping and giving face at the apex of your jump.

3. The Pensive Jut What you're thinking: I'm deep in thought -- about what, who cares? But I'm looking at the solution to all my problems way off in the distance...and it just winked at me. What you're doing: Hand on hip, other hand at an opposing but complimentary angle with one leg straight and the other slightly bent.

4. In Repose What you're thinking: Ugh, it's sooooo hard being this glamorous, but I've got to keep it together. Waiter, where's my goddamn cocktail? Oh, there it is...with a Vicodin chaser. Quelle surprise. What you're doing: Staggering your legs, framing your face with your arms, sucking everything in and finding your light.

5. The Stroll What you're thinking: Oh, look! I'm walking again! This is becoming a habit. I'm going about my way, but for some reason everyone around me keeps dying of envy...and I. Love it. What you're doing: Catwalking towards the camera slowly either giving full face to the camera or feigning distraction.

6. The Broken-Down Doll What you're thinking: I haven't eaten in 4 weeks, my coke dealer isn't picking up his phone and if someone doesn't pour something alcoholic in, on or near me, I'm literally going to die. But I look great, right? What you're doing: Weird angles, lots of slouching, while still showing the garment.

7. The Wistful Coo What you're thinking: I'm caught in a violent hurricane of couture but my inner calm -- brought on by years of yoga and a small army of morally-suspect pharmacists -- keeps me the smizing eye of the storm. What you're doing: A slight hunch, a graceful hand and an expression that says you might not really know where you are.

8. The Dynamic Sit What you're thinking: Yes, this is sitting but you know what this isn't: Super Bowl Sunday. So I'm not lounging back with a bowl of goddamn nachos in my lap. Pardon me while I throw this leg up and concentrate on being effortless. What you're doing: Hunching, creating angles with your legs and space with your arms.

9. The Couture Hunch What you're thinking: I'm so thin that to prevent my ribs from caving in on themselves I have to hold them in place. I may have dropped a lung while in mid-hunch, but I dare you to tell from my face. What you're doing: Arms akimbo, you hunch until you're basically doubling over and sucking in everything while splaying your legs out at awkward angles.

10. The Dynamic Stand What you're thinking: Here I am, world! Take a good long look because I just officially shut shit down and own every one of you. You're welcome. What you're doing: Once again, arms akimbo, but a strong stance that is at once seductive and powerful.

Well This Explains Why My Commute Is Hell: Raquel Zimmermann Takes the A Train for Vogue Italia

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:00:19 +0000

Steven Meisel snaps super Raquel Zimmermann on what allegedly is the A train — if the A train were full of attractive men in suits and not hobos asking for money — in Vogue Italia‘s November issue.

ZImms goes about her daily commute which includes hunching and posing elaborately — much like my daily commute — but with the added factor of hunky police offers stuffing passengers into already crowded cars like it’s modern day Japan or something. It’s times like those when you just throw your hands up, call in sick and head to whatever bar’s open. But Raquel is a pro — and is wearing head-to-toe designer — so she could probably just call a cab and bypass the MTA, or as I affectionately refer to it, the bane of my existence.

Steven Meisel Accused of Double-Dipping in Inspiration Inkwell

Lester Brathwaite — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 11:01:08 +0000

Remember that gorgeous editorial Steven Meisel shot with Raquel Zimmermann featuring “before” and “after” looks? Okay, which one? W‘s a little miffed that Meisel shot a nearly identical story for Vogue Italia — something we pointed out ages ago – and rumor has it that the photog may have financed that shoot on W‘s dime.

Vogue Italia‘s “Day and Night,” left; W‘s “Transformers,” right

The two shoots are not completely alike; after all W used 10 models including Linda Evangelista, Karen Elson and Jessica Stam, while Vogue Italia only used Zimmermann. And Karl Templer styled for Vogue Italia while Edward Enninful styled for W.

Still, the theme, and even some of the poses, of the two spreads are remarkably similar and they’re both in black and white, thus making the similarities even more apparent.

Sure this doesn’t seem like that big of a deal — fashion continually recycles itself, even if after only a month — but WWD, at least, thinks there might be repercussions:

“The fallout will be worth watching. If it damages W’s relationship with Meisel, [Stefano] Tonchi will lose out on a big-name photographer he’s craved for the magazine. If Tonchi doesn’t act, it will demonstrate the lengths a fashion magazine editor will go to appease a photographer who holds considerable influence in the industry.”

What’s Tonchi going to do, go to Condé Nast and issue a recall of all August Italian Vogues? Mesiel’s a brilliant photog — he just got a little lazy. It happens to the best of us. I got lazy when it came to the conclusion of this post…The End. [WWD]

The Lanvin Fall Campaign Video Is More Fun Than You Thought

McArthur Joseph — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:56:58 +0000

By now the whole fashion world has seen the amazing Lanvin A/W 2011 ads featuring what it looked like models dancing in sync. The full video has come out and is definitely one of the more innovative and fun campaigns we’ve seen in a while.

Models Raquel Zimmermann, Karen Elson, Lowell Tautchin, & Milo Spijkers dance in pairs to the Pitbull number, I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho.) The models have pretty smooth moves and the video even boasts a cameo by Alber Elbaz, creative director of Lanvin.

So what do you think of the video? Does it make you want to get up and bust a move.

Behind the Scenes: A Look at the ‘Making-of’s’ of Fashion

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:08:42 +0000

So it’s a slow news morning. But in the spirit of the show going on — and in the spirit of me fulfilling my daily posting duties — I’ve rounded up five behind the scenes videos of photosoots, ad campaigns and commercials. Sure, we always see the finished product, but sometimes what goes on when the camera stops clicking away is even more interesting…

For instance, Coco Rocha and Sean O’Pry dancing all over Venice for Americana Manhasset is 10 times more interesting than the ad itself.

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.

Vogue August Editorial In Bloom

Megan Turley — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:00:56 +0000

Forbidden love, over-saturation, and Marc Jacobs, oh my! This whimsical spread in Vogue for their August issue had us all sighing in wonderment. Raquel Zimmermann captivates in Givenchy, Mary Katrantzou and more, followed by a mysterious would-be paramour. The shoot was photographed by Steven Klein and styled by fashion editor Camilla Nickerson.

Mob Style Takes a Hit

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:34:28 +0000

Picture it. Sicily. Jail. Imprisoned mobsters in Palermo’s Ucciardone prison are too fly and the new governor Rita Barbera is straight up playa hatin’. Barbera is imposing a new prison order by banning the stylish mobsters from wearing luxury brands such as Prada, Gucci, Valentino, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Armani.

“The popular image of this jail is linked to the silk suits of godfathers and we need to cancel that image,” says Governor Barbera. But Barbera is an equal opportunity killjoy; in addition to the finer threads in life, she has banned Nike and Adidas. ”We need to cancel class differences and the showing off of status, power and wealth,” she emphasized.

The mob wives, for their part, are taking it as calmly as can be expected. “My husband will be left naked,” remarked one wife. ”He only has designer clothes, and that’s not because he’s flashy but because they last much longer and are better quality. Why humiliate him? Why force us to buy clothes at street markets?” She then tipped over a table, threw her drink in someone’s (anyone’s) face and lunged after the governor’s neck screaming about said naked husband.

The Ucciardone prison, known to inmates as “The Grand Hotel,” has been witness to mobsters holding lobster and champagne birthday banquets as well as a formal wedding in the prison chapel.

Why deny the sacred — and stunning — tradition of mobsters openly flaunting the law and looking great while doing it? I wouldn’t be surprised if Governor Rita Barbera wakes up next to Raquel Zimmermann‘s head one day. [Guardian]

Lanvin Dances to their Own Beat in New Campaign

Megan Turley — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:25:25 +0000

Raquel Zimmermann and Karen Elson seriously get their dance on for photographer Steven Meisel in Lanvin’s Fall 2011 campaign. It’s almost silly how well this duo manages to show off Lanvin‘s new jewel-toned collection and keep straight faces the entire time, and we’re loving these new looks.

Raquel Wet and Wild for Wang

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:59:37 +0000

If you missed the Alexander Wang truck show‘s debut last night, worry not — video of his Fall 2011 campaign after the jump:

Brazilian beauty Raquel Zimmermann runs around in Alex Wang Fall 2011 ready-to-wear with some sort of flare in hand and SebastiAn and M.I.A.’s “C.T.F.O.” blasting in the background.

Fabien Baron — perhaps best know for Sex with Madonna* — directed the ad, a moody meditation on modeling in an abandoned grain factory in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Thoughts?:

And if you still want the full, projected-on-building effect, you still have tonight and tomorrow to get you some Wang. [WWD]

*Sidebar: Remember how awesome Madonna was?

Alexander Wang Will Live Stream Fall Campaign the Old-Fashioned Way

Lester Brathwaite — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 11:04:31 +0000

If you’re in the city tonight, keep your eyes peeled for Raquel Zimmermann hanging out on the side of a building. Alexander Wang , the consummate guerrilla marketer, will launch his fall 2011 ready-to-wear promotional video with a series of projections all around Manhattan.

“We’ve rented these trucks and the video will be projected from the trucks onto the sides of buildings. Some will be roaming, some planted,” explains Wang.

The video, featuring Raquel in all her super glory, was shot in an abandoned grain factory in that jewel of Brooklyn, Red Hook. Wang was apparently going for “gritty” and “raw” and it really doesn’t get any grittier — or rawer — than an abandoned anything out somewhere in Red Hook.

You’ll be able to catch Raquel crawling over the Upper West Side, SoHo and the Meatpacking District for six hours tonight, and into Thursday and Friday night. [WWD]

- Reese Witherspoon is giving me some serious bombshell realness on the cover of Elle UK, shot by Ben Hassett. The gams are out, there’s a peep toe pump and I’ve never seen Reese this…hot before. Why is it that British editions of fashion mags get celeb covers right when we’re left with this over here in the states? And of course…this

- Rumor has it Erdem might be H&M‘s latest collaboration. The adorably pint-sized designer, however, claims he’s too busy with his own line, though he won’t rule out the possibility in the future. Rumor also has it that Erdem is designing Kate Middleton‘s wedding dress, but he dodges that one too…so either Erdem Moralioglu is as crafty as he is tiny or someone’s seriously fucking with my emotions.

Raquel Zimmerman successfully plays both gender rolls in these Jean Paul Gaultier Fall ads. Raquel has always been a bit androgynous looking with her sharp cheekbones and pointed nose but this short haircut and masculine styling takes the look to the extreme. I’m loving the masculine/feminine dichotomy in these ads. This is proof of a versatile model and a versatile collection.

The fragrance, which is expected to hit stores this October, features an ad campaign lead by Rachel Zimmermann. Since Flowerbomb is still flying of the shelves in stores, we’re expecting Eau Mega to do just as well.

There is a reason this woman is number one on Model.com’s list of top 50 models. It’s cause she fucking rules.

Sidenote, her eyebrows are highly covetable. I totally plan to friend them on Facebook.

MAG HAG: Vogue, May 2009

Andy Wass — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:50:18 +0000

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.

SPREAD UM: ‘Venus Envy’ with Natasha Poly & Raquel Zimmermann for V Mag

Hillary Frazier — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:23:22 +0000

You can never go wrong with black and white. This simple seamless backdrop brings all the attention to the intricate designs of the dresses and jutting collarbones of the models, Vanderperre did a great job with ‘Venus Envy.’

This editorial shoot for V Magazine has a creepy quality, with a few mascara-running shots worthy of a horror film, but nonetheless, the washed out skin tones and contrasting black and white dresses bring together fantasy dreams and nightmares.
