Denim, blazers, leather jackets and rock tees… is it wrong to say I liked the models’ backstage clothes at Alexander Wang’s SS10 show more than what was on the runway?

I was anticipating the 59th issue of V Magazine becasue it was the swim suit edition! Well that anticipation has waned (I love that word.) Um it sucks, that’s all I can say and I’m officially over Mario Testino. I think he’s a genius photographer, but it’s come to the point where he has oversaturated the market. Is he the along withe the Demarcheliers, Mert& Marcus’, Inez& Vinoodh’s,Terry Richardson, and Steven Klein the only photographers in the fashion industry? Where is the fresh new talent? I’m certain there is plenty of it. I’m thinking everyone should step down off the stage that they’ve been on for so long and let the newcomers walk across. I want to see fresh pics of the new crop of “Supers” shot by new fashion photogs. Anyway, out of the lamness of that editorial there were so really good shots.

Frankie Rayder’s pic is the best! It’s so dark and sexy. Love Naomi in her vast poses and she’s always fun to look at in a swimsuit. Daria’s pic looks like it could be in GQ and it’s sexy without being vulgar. The Charles guy has the best shot of all the guys despite wearing a trench in the Summer, but hey at least his pubes are hanging out! 

Mr. and Mrs. Michael Kors win worst pic. 

The insinuation with the bottle coming out of of Noah M’s speedo lame. Carmen on all fours lamer, but I do like that silver plate thingy around her neck! 

Check out the issue here and read the little Q&A on Chanel Iman.

V Magazine loves us. Or at least I like to think they do as they send boxes of new issues to Presse every month. I’m into it. It’s like getting a little gift in the middle of all the retail madness. Our shoppers love it as well and rarely leave without one. Last month, the cover was Giselle in a trashy Louis Vuitton denim situation and this time, it’s a revolving door of models, some hot (Daria!) and some that came out of left field (Frankie?) I am still a sucker for oversize books (W, thank you for pioneering) and V is no exception in greatness. The photography is saucy, and the covers, a real head turner.

Para comemorar a sua 55ª edição, a revista V Magazine trás na sua capa, 14 das modelos mais belas dos últimos tempos. Eniko Mihalik, Malgosia Bela, Anna Selezneva, Daria Werbowy, Frankie Rayder, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Natasha Poly, Sunniva Stordahl, Christy Turlington, Agyness Deyn, Naomi Campbell, Lara Stone, Anja Rubik e Eva Herzigova foram fotografadas pelas lentes mágicas dos fotógrafos Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin.
