French Vogue’s 2009 ‘Le Calendrier’ Cover Revealed

Louis Vuitton and Terry Richardson’s Vogue 09 Calendar is racier than expected…on the other hand, it is Terry Richardson!

Thanks BKRW for the pics

Collab-Ho: Terry Richardson and LV for French Vogue Calendar 2009

Terry Richardson may prefer his models overexposed, but for the forthcoming 2009 French Vogue calendar, distributed with the magazine, his subjects will at least be wearing shoes (and bits of lingerie). Made in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, the images feature footwear from Vuitton’s cruise and summer collections. The work is to be feted during a cocktail at Vuitton’s Paris headquarters on Nov. 26.

Who Is Fashion’s Next Character Actor?

Woke up this morning realizing how tired I am of Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano and Anna Wintour.

They always seem to be playing over-acted versions of themselves. It was endearing at first, almost an expected outcome of the over-indulgent nature of fashion types, but I think that their time has come and is now quickly fleeting. Karl can’t eat a proper meal for fear of tipping the scales and reverting back to his fatty days and Winnie is quickly getting trumped by her children and Ann Slowley in the “ones to give a damn about” department. So here’s my short list of those I think might be the next favorite characters of fashion.

Add you’re own picks in the comments section and we’ll try to keep track.

Christian Siriano - His royal fierceness, if only anyone will pay attention.  Runway is done, but wasn’t he the most interesting character the show has had since the days of that greasy Rasputin looking dude?  I just hope he doesn’t become a cliche as quickly as he’s become relevant.

Tyra Banks - She was Sasha before Beyonce was Sasha and she continues to play young Oprah to a tee. Hopefully the model won’t lose any steam as she continues to fuel a generation of big bootied fashionistas.  Plus, she’s donned a fat suit. What’s not to like?

I

Jeremy Scott - Former drugettes make for great fashion people. His celebrity connections help, but Jeremy is forming a strong posse of media friends and publicists which seem to keep this droopy eyed inmate in the spotlight. Hopefully a downward spiral is in his future, cause you know how we all enjoy a little tragedy with our couture.

Henry Holland - Starting to look like the male version of Agyness Deyn, but still a character to watch, his parties are getting as much attention as his collections and that’s what makes a mere fashion designer a future icon.

You Wish You Were This Coked Up.

Olivier Zahm - Vincent Gallow’s Love Child/Editor of Purple Magazine takes the cake for people we would enjoy spending a Saturday night with and his recent relocation to New York will ensure he continues catching the glare of the paparazzi. Hopefully his legendary attitude won’t let us down.

The Long Lost Member of Gogol Bordello?

Dov Charney - You know you loathe him, but that’s what makes him so much fun.

Andre J - No one can pull off a gown better than this towering Amazon. The beard screams “Look at Me Bitches” while the attitude yells “NOW PAY ATTENTION”. I can’t get enough.

Leigh Lezark - Party Gothic finally has a heroine. Plus she is quite literally the only good thing that came out of that Misshapes thing a few years back. 

Terry Richardson -  Lumberjack shirt + Full Frontal Nudity + Pocket Camera = Instant Icon.

Merlin Bronques (or whatever he’s calling himself these days) - THE ONLY NIGHTLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER WORTH PAYING ATTENTION TO … lately. He’s ditched the wig and now seems to be playing a hipster Clark Kent. His photos are still better wanking fodder than most of the porn on the web and he’s finally going mainstream!!!  If you don’t know him, you better take note.

Terry Richardson Snaps Some Body Art

Terry Richardson recently snapped a few photos that show off the body art of a few A-listers, the reason? They all were inked by the same guy, Mr. Scott Campbell. Campbell is known for doing the tattoos belonging to Lilly Cole, Marc Jacobs and Leo Fitzpatrick. Now for a fashion icon, I have to say Marc Jacobs has the worst tattoos I have ever seen. He is one tribal tattoo away from looking like a Jersey Shore all star. His body looks like a canvas of drunken mistakes. Thank God he is a fashion designer and can hide himself under some amazing clothes, because otherwise he would get a first row seat in the FAIL! category. It’s okay Marc, just call up Pharell I’m sure he can give you the name of a good place where you can get replacement skin, because that’s what you do when you’re rich and famous.

Thanks to SuperTouch for the images

Obama! Obama! Obama!!!!

This photo has officially gotten me back into Obama. Was off of him cause of all the fashion stuff featuring his mug and the annoying celebrity PSAs, but I’m totally back on the bandwagon in a major way.  

I wonder if it’s too late to get an Obama mask for Halloween.
