"yes, i think i'm sexy"

Lara Stone for November 2008 i-D
shot by Alasdair McLellan
The article is even better than the cover.
-We learn that she wants people to stop talking about her tits, even though the interview alludes to them practically every other paragraph.
-She's been working for a decade as a model
-She fell on the runway in London, Paris, and Milan. The trifecta!
-Men hollered at her since she was 10/11
-She likes Love Actually. Models, they're just like us! (Except they're prenaturally gorgeous and gap toothed. Damn it.)

erin wasson, model and designer

Erin and Hannah DavisModel de jure Erin Wasson, queen of nonchalant ripped denim shorts and cigarettes, is channeling her style into designing for surf and skate brand RVCA in a three year deal, to be sold at - where else- Opening Ceremony. In the process, she is fulfilling the dreams of the gaggles of Wasson-idolizing fashion bloggers ready and willing to shell out $230 for frayed denim shorts. And dear sweet Jesus, there will be a floral liberty print dress involved. I just hope she doesn't borrow ideas for this line like she allegedly did with her jewelery line. The only downside to all this: Erin will no longer be styling Alexander Wang's runway shows, as their professionally relationship has ended. Damn it, I can't imagine models stomping the dusty catwalks without the Wasson touch to it.

supermodel convent

Natalia, Naomi, Amber, Jourdan, Oluchi, Agyness for fall Pop shot by Sebastian Faena. And judging from the various habits, rosary beads and copious amounts of Prada lace, they're styled as nuns praising the almighty Miuccia. With Jourdan Dunn as the flying nun of the bunch. I never knew Prada could be the official uniform for the convent, although I do know that the Pope wears red leather Prada shoes.

wouldn't this be nice to see on the subway?

Alberta Ferretti makes the public transportation look glamorously unrealistic for Fall 08 ads with jewel-toned swathed models lacksadaisically lounging around on the subway, invoking the envy of the general masses around them. Although, the ads are missing the random pervball in the corner eyeing potential people to grope. And generally, horror stories like this occur on public transportation.

Veruschka

The supermodel Veruschka conjures up many images: writhing like a sexthing for a snapping photographer in Blow Up, towering over everyone as an amazon, or covered in body paint as an animalistic prowess. Born Vera von Lehndorff in East Prussia, her dad tried to kill Hitler with the German Resistance, but failed and was assassinated. She stayed in various camps and stints in 13 schools and children called her a 'stork'. And usually when one is made fun of in school by shitty little kids for being gawky and tall, they become supermodels.

Starting out as a virtual unknown in NYC, and being dissed by Eileen Ford, she created the moniker of Veruschka, a name which pretty much gives off a whiff of sexuality, and adapted a alluring Russian background that rapt the fashion world. She appeared on 11 covers of Vogue and adapted a penchant for body paint. She took advantage of being a sixties bombshell and hooked up with a lineup of those virile Hollywood leading men back in the days (Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, etc.) She was always my favorite supermodel, what with her mysterious persona, penchant for promiscuity, and goodness I wanted her legs.

Currently, Veruschka roams around and lives in Berlin and is a devoted cat lady and artist.

assless denim

Of course V Magazine and Mario Testino would put Gisele in shreds of denim for their summer cover. Is there anytime where Gisele isn't all bombshell-ish glistening with sex and what not? How classy is that last cover with the denim shorts/butt floss combo? Assless pants these days, sigh.

mariacarla, photographer

Model Mariacarla Boscono gets behind the camera at the Givenchy show. Like Mariacarla's raven black hair, a few of her photos display a slightly morose ambience, pensive model deathstares included. Model/photographer is the new model/actress, which sounds much cooler.

The models practiced walking on runways of dirt before the show, which would please Givenchy-admiring horticulturists, I guess.
I have never, ever seen Mariacarla laugh, so this is quite refreshing.

under the influence of wine...house

The Amy Winehouse influence on fashion has been far and wide, almost to an Agyness Deyn-like vexation. Even as she goes through a downward spiral, she's been emulated sickeningly from Chanel to French Vogue. However, I admit to being under the influence of Winehouse at times, slathering on more black eyeliner than necessary or fucking my hair up into a bouffant nest. But I really liked Korean Numero's take on the troubled singer, featuring my favorite model, Daul Kim, carrying the weight of a small child on her head in the form of a beehive do. How fun!


Also, check out Daul's blog, I Like To Fork Myself, full of amusing and enjoyably morbid tribulations on fashion, art, culture, philosophy, and pet hamsters. Seriously her take on Steve Aoki's "dj-ing" is more than enough reason for me to admire her more.
