AD-DICT: Jennifer Connelly for Balenciaga Fall ‘09 by Steven Meisel

When the first images from this Jennifer Connelly campaign surfaced i was not a fan of the intentionally awkward posing, it seemed like the photo editors had it out for her. Now, when I see the series together, my feelings have changed. The slightly robotic posing gives Jennifer the look of a fierce creature and draws extra attention to the amazing footwear. Check the gallery to see the rest of the transformation.

IN REVIEW: Extreme Beauty In Vogue
There’s nothing like having high quality prints of Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Helmut Newton, Steven Klein, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and several other established photographer’s work in the confines of your own home. I had the opportunity to snag a copy of Dolce & Gabbana’s collaborated photo compilation, Extreme Beauty In Vogue, before it hit’s shelves in October, and I must admit, I feel like a child staring at a picture book, completely mesmerized by every photo. Edited by Phyllis Posnick with an essay by Eva Respini, Extreme Beauty In Vogue exposes photographic, stylistic and journalistic perceptions of female beauty and opinions on allure. Featuring two centuries of work, the evolution of cultural attitudes on women is exposed in this coffee-table must have. And for those of you hung up on Vogue’s typical conservatism, there’s enough nipples, asses, bestiality and blood to suit your fancy. Shove your Beatles anthology to the side folks, because this $55 investment is what your dinner guests should be snooping through!

AD-DICT: Alberta Ferretti by Steven Meisel Fall ‘09

Posting these fall Harry Potter inspired ads for those of you who aren’t ready to give up the Harry Potter fever yet. These dark ads with their library setting and inclusion of floating loose papers make me think of witches conjuring spells.

ADDICT: More Madonna for Louis Vuitton Shot by Steven Meisel


Let’s all take a good look at this, and make the unanimous decision that the ‘photoshopper’ should be credited for this more than Steven Meisel (supposedly this took over 23 Photoshop layers to create).

Bliss Lau: Fall 2008 Jewelry Collection
Ever since I saw “So Young, So Cool,” Steven Meisel’s February 2009 spread for Vogue Italia, I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the unisex body-jewelry of Bliss Lau, featured in the editorial. Possibly a bit simpler than previous collections, Lau’s jewelry line consists of antiqued chains, hooks, gromets and minimal pieces of leather. What I really love about her recent pieces is that they can be worn year-round (despite the fact that they are from the fall 2008 collection) and are designed to fall where skin is typically bare during the warmer months. Even a simple tank-top or body-con dress can be livened up with Lau’s jewelry. Hoping for some new designs in the near future!

SPREAD UM: Sasha Pivovarova for Vogue Italia

A de-eyebrowed Sasha Pivovarova posed for Steven Meisel for the May 2009 issue of Vogue Italia.
It’s a good cover just on fashion principle alone. Unlike virtually every spring issue cover, the colors are neutral and based in earth tones, and the model is all bundled up. It stands out for not standing out. The accompanying spread, “Moroccan Holiday,” is similarly styled with unusual color palettes and muted luxury.

ADDICT: GF by Gianfranco Ferré S/S 2009






Steven Meisel shot Viktoriya Sasonkina and Viggo Jonasson for the GF by Gianfranco Ferré S/S 09 campaign. I absolutely love these images, they are so delicately sexy, and still show the details in the clothing. AND I love the short in the last photos, I would totally do anything for those…
