>> Take a surreal journey through '50s and '60s nostalgia with Prada's just-released Spring 2012 fantasy lookbook.
Photographer Phil Meech's backstage photos from the Spring 2012 runway show — starring models Lindsey Wixson, Anais Pouliot, Ruby Aldridge, Kasia Struss, Ginta Lapina, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Fei Fei Sun, and Daphne Groeneveld — provide the perfect foil to Jeroen Koolhaas's and Lok Jansen's handmade collages and cheeky vintage photographs.
It's all right here in the slideshow.
>> Lily Aldridge has played coy about her wedding since announcing her engagement to Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill last September, but it sounds like they've set a date. The two are reportedly to wed in Aldridge's native California in early May, with fellow models Anne Vyalitsyna, Chanel Iman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and of course, Lily's sister Ruby Aldridge, expected as guests. Beforehand, the couple — who met at Coachella in 2007 — have rented a house in Palm Springs for this year's Coachella festival, which Kings of Leon is headlining alongside Kanye West. Aldridge wouldn't speak to the wedding, but said of Coachella: "I'm counting down the days. We're gonna cook food, go watch great bands and listen to music. I'm really excited." [NY Post]
>> For Pre-Fall 2011, Zac Posen shot his form-fitting collection on the “Zac-ettes”: Crystal Renn, Leigh Lezark, Hilary Rhoda, Ruby Aldridge, and Anna Cleveland. "They’re all women who have been significant for me this year,” said Posen. “All the young women I love working with and making an image of are all very ambitious and take great pride in being a woman. . . . That was really important [to me] to show how different types of personalities can wear different groups of the collection.”
