Chanel Iman Pulls On Her Edgy Face for July 2008 Vogue Italia

Tue, 07/08/08 — 05:42:58 PM

>> Time for July 2008 Vogue Italia editorial roll call.  Cover shots?  Check. Naomi Campbell in all her glory?  Check.  Sessilee Lopez's black-and-white sizzler?  Check.  The multi-girl extravaganza?  Check. 

It's the beginning of the end folks — all that's left is the set featuring Toccara Jones, Yasmin's elegant grouping, and the beauty editorial with Chanel Iman channeling Grace Jones.  Oh wait, we've already got the latter — Chanel edgier than ever before, shot by Dusan Reljin.

Natalia Vodianova, Isabeli Fontana Tango for Versace

Tue, 07/08/08 — 04:33:42 PM

>> A little show of skin here, a little handbag there . . . that's what Versace's Fall 2008 ads are made of.  Shot in Manhattan by Mario Testino, the images portray Natalia Vodianova and Isabeli Fontana flaunting color-coordinating outfits . . . that is, when they're wearing clothes.  The set is pretty typical glossy Versace, but I do like the up-close-and-personal handbag shots.

>> If you missed the live feed of the Gucci Resort 2009 presentation earlier today, fret no more: it's waiting for you to watch below. The video starts out with a little backstage coverage — Mariacarla Boscono sneaking a cig while her hair is curled, Iekeliene Stange iPoding it up — and then, when it hits 2:48, the good stuff. Natasha Poly opens, Lily Donaldson closes, and for all you Snejana Onopka fans who were fretting after couture . . . she's back!

>> THE MODELIZER —Are Kate Moss and Jamie Hince on the outs? Supposedly, after a row on Saturday, Jamie has been moving his things out of Kate's house.  But more funny than anything about this article . . . Kate apparently skipped Jamie's show that night and saw High School Musical instead.  Can you imagine? [The Mirror]

Eva Herzigova, Louis Vuitton Unite In Front of Unisphere

Tue, 07/08/08 — 11:59:25 AM

>> A Louis Vuitton ad is a Louis Vuitton ad: big name model (or actress), saturated color, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott involved . . . but I would have never placed Queens as the brand's choice campaign background.  And yet, here it is — Eva Herzigova holding her LV handbags high, sticking her LV monogrammed leg out, all with the Unisphere in the background.

>> A LITTLE TURN ON THE CATWALK —Don't forget, if you're so inclined, Gucci is streaming their Resort 2009 presentation live from Rome — it should start shortly, but in the meantime, you can catch live video from backstage, the red carpet, and the mingling on the runway . . . I just saw Sasha Pivovarova, Mariacarla Boscono, and Iekeliene Stange getting their hair done. [Gucci.com]

Vogue Italia Finally Makes an Entrance (!)

Tue, 07/08/08 — 10:08:56 AM

>> This morning, the July 2008Vogue Italia hit stands, and we've got the scans to prove it.  The magazine features an 11-page spread, "Elegance as a Form," with Yasmin Warsame and devotes 9 pages to America's Next Top Model alum Toccara Jones in addition to the two editorials we've already seen: Naomi Campbell's 9-page luxe spread and the 25-page ode to new girl Sessilee Lopez.

But I saved the best for last: "Modern Luxe" by Steven Meisel, spanning 15 pages, and featuring everyone from Noemie Lenoir to Kiara Kabukuru to Jourdan Dunn.
