IndieNewsroom: VF’s Young Old Hollywood Glamour…Kristen Stewart Flips Karl Lagerfeld the Bird…Adele to Perform at Grammys

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

- For Vanity Fair’s 18th annual Hollywood Issue, Mario Testino shot eleven of filmdom’s hottest young actresses — including Jennifer Lawrence, Mia Wasikowsa and Oscar nominees Rooney Mara and Jessica Chastain, who are all featured on the front cover —  for an homage to old Hollywood glamour. Squint a little and Rooney Mara looks just like silent film star Louise Brooks. [Vanity Fair]

SPREAD UM: “Supermodels Supernaturals” by Peter Lindberg for Harpers Bazaar September ’09

Edited by Monique Montagnese, Contributor

The super model loving lives on, but airbrushing dies? Hmm… I’ll see that when I believe it. Harpers claims that there is no makeup or airbrushing used in this editorial, and I’m not sure about that either. Regardless the models, in their 30′s and 40′s look amazing. Another plus is the sharing of supermodel approved beauty tips, such as not to eat dairy because it can lead to break outs from Claudia Schiffer.

Models At The Met

Edited by Kirby Marzec

Being exposed, first hand, to all the glorious fashions from runway shows and editorials, one would think that models would steal the the best dressed award on last night’s Met Gala red carpet. While Chanel Iman, in her stunning Zac Posen dress, was a show stopping attendee, Shalom Harlow looked rather homeless and out of place in her crumpled, Gareth Pugh-ish garbage bag. Brooke Shields looked like a mermaid body builder. Agyness Deyn was an over-bronzed transvestite. Brooklyn Decker rocked out a Mary-Kate worthy outfit. All in all, the model fashion was skewed across the board. Tsk tsk…I expected big things from such fashion relatives.

ADDICT: H&M Spring 09 Campaign Featuring Eva Herzigova, Shalom Harlow and Vincent Gallo

Edited by Amanda Gabriele

Longtime friends Eva Herzigova and Shalom Harlow starred in the latest H&M campaign for spring 09. The two models posed alongside Vincent Gallo in, on top of and next to various red-orange oversized shapes. I think the campaign is super adorable; it’s airy, fun and carefree. The clothing is looking mighty fab as well. I can’t wait to see what else H&M has in store for this season.
