the troika of cool

>>  After coming together for the Spring Chloe perfume ads, Anja Rubik, Chloe Sevigny, and Clemence Poesy reunite once more for the April 2008 cover of Nylon's Beauty Issue, wearing what else but Chloe?  Take a good long look, folks, this is one of the last times we'll see Paolo Melim Andersson's interpretation of the bohemian French brand on a cover.  And I have to say, I'll miss that Marni-esque influence.

To keep your mind off the loss, comfort yourself with a peek at Anja's editorial inside.

there's something about gisele

>> This month, LeBron James becomes the third man ever to star on a Vogue cover, following in the footsteps of George Clooney (June 2000) and Richard Gere (November 1992).  The most recent two covers have something even more striking in common . . . Gisele Bundchen appears on both.


I guess when you have a formula that works, you stick with it — all three covers pair man with supermodel (Richard Gere appeared with then-girlfriend Cindy Crawford), and all three covers are highlighted with red and white fonts.  They appear in eight-year intervals: 1992, 2000, 2008, so if all goes according to the pattern, we may not see another until 2016.

Congrats, Lebron!  But I wonder how Anna's favorite Roger Federer feels about this . . .
