Vogue October 2008 Ends With a Cliffhanger

>> Steven Meisel's October 2008 "Natural High" editorial in Vogue has everyone talking.  Where else but Vogue would you see models in chubbies (not to be mistaken with chubby models) climbing up the steep side of a mountain, goat-style, clutching clutches and in super-high heels?

>> Over in London today, Richard Nicoll carried on the "Malibu palette" that got started in New York. Vivid pink and tangerine colorblocked their way through the parade, fading into muted shades of blue and gray.  This collection seems like London's answer to Francisco Costa's Calvin Klein — Nicoll was inspired by nineties minimalism paired with fifties modernism, after all.

New York Spring 2009 Trend Reports: Let Them Eat Cake
