You know we love Pin-ups ( especially me ! ) and when an editorial uses it as theme (and it looks nice) I have to post it. Here is a preview of the upcoming V Magazine #62
Cent Magazine is a UK based, bi-annual publication that celebrates creativity in all its forms. ” We use no journalists, instead creatives themselves write about their own creative process.” Each issue is guest edited by a different creative who chooses a title that is core to their artistic process.
The magazine explores the Guest Editor and their chosen title through the whole issue. Below is an editorial form the current issue photographed by Manuel Vason
What an amazing Editorial for the last Dazed & Confused (Oct. 09) Franken Fashion with model Guinevere van Seenus photographed by Daniel Jackson and styled by Karen Langley – SeeFULL EDITORIAL ON PAPER MODE
Wow ! just wow ! How amazing is the Hong Kong based downloadable E-zine,Pedderzine ! So forward…I rarely see such original and creative shoots like these nowadays! Their photographer, art director and graphic designer are just genius…
Each issue has a theme, and their luxury still life photography carries out the theme to the max! See for yourself, I couldn’t stop screenshooting for this post…
These images coolness will never expire! Oozing with sexiness is this “Vision Panoramique” editorial for Vogue Paris, February 2007, of Patricia Schmidt shot by Mario Testino and hair by Marc Lopez. Reminds me a lot of the Tom Ford nude sunglasses campaign.
The stunning redhead, Karen Elson, is looking particularly ethereal in the Fall/Winter Lula cover and editorial shot by Catherine Servel and styled by Leith Clark.
Magnus Unnar shoots Anouck Lepere (Belgium model and Jefferson Hack’s fiance) for the October 2009 issue of Dazed and Confused. The shoot is raw and energetic and depicts Anouck playing the role of a lowly intern at a modeling agency. Stylist Joanna Schlenzka seems to love messy backgrounds, muted tones and naughty onesies – and its a winning combination!
You may shudder at the thought, but you can’t deny it – big shoulders came back with a vengeance – it has been all about power dressing for the past few season, so Joan Collins, eat your heart out!
From New York to Milan, the catwalks unambiguously and unanimously presented the very best 21st Century spin on the 1980’s big exaggerated power shoulder. Tina Kalivas’s Fortune 2009 lookbook is filled with gorgeous tie-dyes and lacquer leathers, but you cannot miss those amplified shoulders popping up from the jackets and dresses. Mixed in among all the electric colours and the shiny bits of Marc Jacobs Spring 09 collection were peaked-shouldered black jackets and vests worn with wide-leg trousers cropped below the knee. Australian designer Illionaire were not even pretending to hide the strong 1980’s influences on their Fall/Winter 09 lookbook. The shoot and the power shoulders both reference the Mommie Dearest era. Even new Danish Design School graduate Anne-Sofie Madsen couldn’t resist adding some stunning height to her new looks.
And for those of us who can’t spot a shoulder pad without thinking of Dynasty, consider what Di Milo has to say: “[Big shoulders are] the closest we get to wings.”
We have compiled a gallery of runway, editorial and flashback inspirations of the Power Shoulders to archive some of the best examples of this ever-growing Trend. As with everything in fashion there are always the pioneers who introduce a trend 2 years before it spreads like a viral plague, in this case Margiela brought it back with a bang in F/W 2007 long before other designers began their interpretations.
She came of age in My So-Called Life, she wooed Romeo behind a fish tank, romanced Steve Martin and Jason Schwartman, found (real) true love in Adam star Hugh Dancy, and now Claire Danes has also vamped it up for the The September Fall Fashion issue ofBlackbook Magazine. Shot in the penthouse of Manhattan’s Cooper Square Hotel, and inspired by the ‘Greed Decade’, the shoot shows the 30-year-old actress in whole new light – channeling her inner sexiness.
