Bieber Fever has rendered the FashionIndie office completely incapacitated on several occasions since the mop-topped pop tot two-stepped his way into the cultural zeitgeist. Another such attack overtook us yesterday and the result was a shot-for-shot recreation of Justin Bieber‘s V Magazine shoot by celebrated lens duo, Inez and Vinoodh – starring yours truly as the model in question. ‘Twas a success, though my body still feels ravaged by the effects of the Fever and I’ll need a conspicuously inappropriate shopping trip with Mariah Carey just to recover. Photos after the jump!

In my mind, 2011 will be remembered as the year we lost one of the brightest stars in the vast constellation of pop culture luminaries — one Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Since her passing in March, Taylor’s legacy has loomed large over the fashion world — from an epic editorial homage by Carine Roitfeld to the record-breaking auction of her vast collection of jewels and haute couture. ROGUE Magazine, which is quickly becoming one of my fave mags for the illustrated icon, ends the year on a Liz-loving high note with this tribute by David Downton.

For its January “Music Issue,” V Magazine grabbed two turntables and a microphone for a hip-hop-inspired editorial featuring Anais Mali, Chrishell Stubbs, Cora Emmanuel, Rob Evans and Travone Hill. Fashion editor Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele outfits Sebastian Faena‘s raptacular story with 80s hip-hop staples like shell-top Adidas, gold chains, tracksuits and medallions, as well as a fair share of lamé from the post-Biggie Puff Daddy and Ma$e era. Nicki Minaj could do well by herself by staying away from the Muppet-on-acid look and outfitting herself in some of these blingtastic numbers.
