Model Mariacarla Boscono has made the leap from catwalk to campaign. She’s paiedr with Natalia Vodianova and a bevy of male models. The two women are an interesting combo:...

Lily Allen was photographed by Alan Gelati for Russian Vogue January 2010. Though her music has never gotten me very excited, I’m impress with Lily in this editorial.
