Numéro 101 has a gorgeous spread by Karl Lagerfeld this month with models Freja Beha Erichsen & Heidi Mount. The photo treatment is interesting and the clothing chosen perfectly for it. The effect is perfect for putting the focus on the clothing and making the model simply (un)fade into the background. Very striking. This...

Curiously, it’s the “music” issue. Hmmm. At any rate, the photos are nice enough – even if there’s no real style story. photos: fashionising.com

So after giving DSquared a sound eBashing recently, I must return to them to give an almost as enthusiastic round of ePlause (ok, enough with the ‘e’ crap). The SS09 campaign with Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista is completely drop dead. Now, I’m still not hype to run out and buy a piece of...

Superstar Beyonce appears on the cover of US Vogue’s April 2009 issue. The volume is the annual “shape” issue and bears the “real women have curves” cliche on the cover – which pictures the notoriously curvy singer sans any of her famous curves. I guess the magazine believes Beyonce “at her best” is Beyonce...

The Brian Atwood brand takes shoe lust to a literal level in the brand’s Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaigns. While, we chicks don’t always consciously make the direct connection between sex and a hankering for beautiful shoes, these ads make it obvious the truth of the matter: We don’t wear 5-inch heels for our health!...

Wow. What a difference a bit of makeup makes. I don’t care for this editorial, from the UK edition of Harper’s Bazaar, March 2009. The makeup is certainly beautiful, but the styling is pretty lazy. This spread is good for trying to pick out individual pieces, but the composition is far from inspiring. Model:...

Oh joy. Just got word today that Harper’s Bazaar will launch their India edition this month. Isn’t this just was south Asia needs? More propaganda to convince the hoards of brown girls that only fair-skinned women are beautiful and worthy of celebration. Who wants to wager that none of the cover models will ever...

Gwyneth Paltrow is holding the Tod’s Helmet Zip bag that inspired Cult lust in the Spring bag review. And while the $1800 price tag is prohibitive enough, these ads are even more off-putting. Not that the actress doesn’t look nice in the photos. On the contrary, she looks like a brand new Barbie doll,...

Now.. I don’t want to take anything away from Miss Cole. She’s a great music artist with a fantastic voice. Hell, I’m not even into R&B, but I’ve still found myself rocking to her music. But, uh, how in the hell did this chick end up on the cover of a “style” issue? Who...
