Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn Take It Off for i-D's Exhibitionist Issue

>> Karlie Kloss is growing up: she turned 18 last August, and it seems like she's comfortable showing more skin these days. She stripped down for the cover of i-D's Spring 2011 Exhibitionist Issue alongside her best friend Jourdan Dunn, holding a strategically placed hat, and inside the magazine there's more of the same — modest poses in no clothes or a convenient crop job.

"Jour Jour" and "Kar," as they call each other ("We're too lazy to say each other's full name!" Kloss says) — or "Jourlie," which Dunn explains is what "people call us when we're together," also gave an interview together. Among the things we learned:

They share a birthday: "I was born Aug. 3, 1992," Kloss says, "and Jourdan was born Aug. 3, 1990. We're birthday twins."

They're both serially late: "Our call time [for the i-D shoot] wasn't until 4 pm," Kloss says, "so we spent the day apartment hunting in New York. Then had a bite to eat at a little diner before heading to the shoot. We still ended up being 25 minutes late! Both of us have serious problems being on time…"

Karlie's favorite part of her body: "Karlie is obsessed with her bum," Dunn says. "She loves it."

Jourdan is no longer with the father of her son, who was arrested a year ago: "Last year was a tough year for me. I went through a lot with my personal life but thank goodness my Mum was there for me every step of the way. I'm now not scared of being a single mother."

Jourdan didn't have to diet, post-baby: "To be honest, I didn't work out or follow an eating plan. I was loving my new body so much I was trying my hardest to keep the baby weight on! I breast fed for nine months though and people say breast-feeding helps you lose weight."

Karlie wants a big family: "[My longterm dreams are] to go to medical school and start a big family of my own… I want five boys!"

Jourdan loves her some fried chicken: "I've been known to turn up to a show with KFC! I don't care. If I need to eat, I'm gonna eat."

Jourdan's son, Riley, has sickle cell disease: "The hardest thing is not knowing if Riley is just miserable or if he's in pain and having a crisis. Last December he had his first crisis, and he was submitted to hospital for a blood transfusion. It was the scariest thing. All I wanted to do was take the pain away… I felt helpless as a mother. But now we have experienced his first crisis we are more prepared and know what to look out for."

Jourdan's most fun night ever involved Abbey Lee Kershaw getting locked in a bathroom: "We went to the Versace party in Milan with Abbey Lee. Abbey got locked in the toilets for an hour and we couldn't get her out! I will never forget that."

Jourdan Dunn Is Back in Vogue for the September 2010 Issue

>> Jourdan Dunn has been slowly creeping back into the public eye since she had her son in December: a runway exclusive for Aquascutum in February, a charity catwalk show in March, a full body of work in the Victoria's Secret catalogue last month, and now, a reappearance in Vogue — the September issue (left) — in two editorials.

She also has a beauty story in the upcoming Fall 2010 issue of i-D. But the big question is: will she be doing the runway circuit again next month?

Miranda Kerr continues the path paved by Bundchen and Adriana Lima before her, trading in solely Victoria's Secret fare to embark on more high fashion endeavors. Just last night, The Imagist wrote of Kerr: "She's much more than a VS thing now kids...Miss Kerr is looking like THE blue chip campaign queen of FW 10." He also hinted: "If I were the editor of a major cutting edge fashion glossy I would be clearing space for my Miranda Kerr cover right this minute. But hang on ...if TI is thinking it, it probably means Miss Kerr is probably already a cover star of something furiously glossy." [TFS, TI]

With the spread comes an interview, in which Dree runs over some of her favorites . . . and not-so-favorites. On London: "It's my favorite place. I should probably just move there." On walking in Milan: "No thank you." On catalog shoots: "I feel trapped! Smile and pose with the bag but it's too cheesy. I can't handle it! It's unnatural!"  And on her best job: "The first shoot with Inez and Vinoodh for W and every other shoot with Alasdair McLellan. He's amazing."

Mariacarla Boscono Had a Hand in Riccardo Tisci's Appointment at Givenchy

>> Riccardo Tisci and his friend and muse, Mariacarla Boscono, appear on one of i-D's three fresh-from-the-press Pre-Spring 2010 covers; the others feature Natasha Poly and Rihanna.Tisci and Boscono go way back.

>> Riccardo Tisci and his friend and muse, Mariacarla Boscono, appear on one of i-D's three fresh-from-the-press Pre-Spring 2010 covers; the others feature Natasha Poly and Rihanna.

Tisci and Boscono go way back. When Tisci was first starting out, pre-Givenchy, he lost backing weeks before a show; devastated, he ended up going to a friend's embroidery factory in New Delhi.  When he returned to Milan in the Fall of 2004, two weeks before Fashion Week, it was Mariacarla who, impressed with the three bags full of hand-embroidered clothes Tisci brought back, pestered him into pulling together a show, he tells the new issue of LOVE. They cobbled together an off-schedule and technivally illegal production in an old garage, with Karen Elson in a tulle evening gown doing stunts on a BMX.  Police shut the show down, but right after he presented a follow-up collection, he got the call from Givenchy.

Would Tisci ever revive his own label? »
