Fashion in 50 Seconds 06/01/10 Miranda Kerr For Numéro, EDUN Kicks Off World Cup

coutorture — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:43:08 PDT

A strawberry blond Miranda Kerr poses as a naughty nun in Greg Kadel's editorial for Numéro's June-July edition.

EDUN kicks off the FIFA 2010 World Cup with summer tees designed by African schoolchildren. The 100 percent organic cotton shirts are available at Barneys starting today for $60.

Oscar de la Renta was not happy to find a Max Mara Studio tribal print (in the window of Lord & Taylor) identical to the one he had custom designed for his spring 2008 collection.

Roberto Cavalli does not believe any other designer could take over his namesake label.

Karl Lagerfeld: Still Bobbing Along for Numero September 2008

fashionologie — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:40:21 PDT

>> Two things are for sure: Karl Lagerfeld is still loving black and white photography and those bobs — he's used them for his Fall 2008 Chanel couture show, the Fall 2008 Fendi ads, the Fall 2008 Chanel ads, and now he's put Karmen Pedaru in one alongside Heidi Mount and Vlada Roslyakova. The three girls feature in "La Couture," a film noir-inspired couture editorial he photographed for Numero #96. Don't worry, it's not all Chanel couture, but those three must be his go-to couture girls — they seem like Karl's types, and they were all in Chanel's most recent couture show.

“

I much prefer glasses: they're my portable eye shadow. I hate it when people can look me in the eye.

>> After the synchronized swimming extravaganza and pool-suspended runway at Chanel Resort 2009, it seems like fashion is having a watery moment.

The next edition in the series? "Agua caliente," styled by Samuel Francois, pulled from Numero 94. Coco Rocha works it in the small confines of a bathtub, producing images saturated with color.

Alexander McQueen Perpetuates That Enfant Terrible Streak

fashionologie — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 16:37:03 PDT

>> Alexander McQueen, famously outspoken, spoke out in an interview for the Spring 2009 issue of Numero Homme (#17), and started by giving his interviewer, Numero editor at large Philip Utz, and fashion journalism as a whole, a dressing-down: "[it's a] thinly-veiled exercise in marketing." Then, he moved on to the British Fashion Council - "[it] doesn't know what the f*ck it's doing" - and another one of his favorite subjects to disparage - Hubert de Givenchy.

McQueen was the designer for Givenchy from 1997 to 2001, and upon his installation, he declared Hubert de Givenchy's work "irrevelant"; it seems the years have not softened his opinion: "Well what do you make of Hubert de Givenchy? He was only ever any good at ripping off [Cristobal] Balenciaga."

Who Would Karl Lagerfeld Like to See Succeed Him at Chanel?

fashionologie — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 08:06:10 PST

>> There are always plenty of rumors about when Karl Lagerfeld might retire (if at all), and who might succeed him, but in the November 2010 issue of Numero, Lagerfeld addresses the question himself: "I have a contract for life so it all depends on who I would like to hand it to. At the moment I'd say Haider Ackermann." Lagerfeld invited Ackermann to the most recent Chanel show and has been lately enamored with his designs. Ackermann, for his part, reacted well to Lagerfeld's blessing: "What can one possibly say to such a phrase?! Such a compliment! Honored I feel, how can one not be?! In all honesty tremendously, immensely touched especially coming from Monsieur Lagerfeld." [WWD]

>> Matthias Vriens Marries, Alters Name -Former Giorgio Armani creative director and Gucci Group senior art director-turned photographer for the likes of Numero and New York Times Magazine, Matthias Vriens recently wedded fiance Donovan McGrath in Los Angeles. The couple is changing their last names to Vriens-McGrath because Matthias is apparently appalled at the Proposition 8 decision made in California that makes his marriage illegal - he feels it important to make his nuptials public.
