bob richardson: father of terry April 8, 2007 12:17 pm >> He passed away two years ago, leaving behind a legacy of fantastic fashion photography from the sixties and seventies. Unfortunately, he destroyed or lost most of his work during his later years, when he was homeless. He was notorious for being impossible to work with. But when he did work, what he produced -- well, it was hardly fodder for destruction. In fact, it was beautiful, powerful, and every photo I see gives me an insatiable hunger to see more. I hope Terry keeps the promise that he made upon Bob's death, to produce a monograph and an autobiography of his father and his pictures -- I can't wait to see more like this one Bob took in 1972 of Angelica Huston, his muse and girlfriend of the time, for Italian Vogue, posing with model Lipp Jens as her Nazi lover.UPDATE: It looks like Terry did keep his promise after all -- the book is being published in September of the year. Fantastic.
voguing for the cover April 8, 2007 10:24 am >> Well, from this little preview picture that's popped up on style.com, it looks like the group'o'models Vogue cover is for May 2007, not June as was previously thought. The big headline touts these girls as "The World's Next Top Models" -- never thought I would see Vogue take a page out of Tyra's book, but okay -- at least they didn't put the girls in the horrible makeup and outfits Tyra puts her models in. They did, however, dress the girls in true Vogue style -- socialite wear, bright bottom and white crisp top (which sings Carolina Herrera's style to me), but hey, who am I to complain -- there are models on the cover of Vogue. So you already know Doutzen Kroes is there in the lineup -- who else can you spot in the sea of tiny heads?
