Now Available: H&M's 2012 Conscious Collection - See It Here

fashionologie — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 08:14:29 PDT

>> H&M's eco-friendly Conscious Collection hits stores today, bringing with it the brand's toniest, greenest line of clothing yet.

Oscar nominees Michelle Williams and Viola Davis have already worn dresses from the collection on various red carpets - which isn't surprising considering the pieces' high level of quality, design, and construction. The collection includes a number of dramatic floor-length gowns in on-trend silhouettes, with pops of neon and floral prints; all are made using sustainable materials.

That should come as no surprise considering H&M's position as a leader in sustainable design. It's annual sustainability report from 2011, which was released earlier today, bills H&M as the world's biggest user of organic cotton. By 2020, the company aims to produce all of its cotton garments with sustainable resources.

"We want our customers to feel confident that everything they buy from H&M is designed, manufactured, and handled with consideration for people and environment," said H&M's CEO Karl-Johan Persson in a statement. Beautiful, sustainable clothing? That's a cause we can get behind.

See the entire collection here, including the recently-released campaign images, photographed by Terry Richardson and featuring models Constance Jablonski, Edita Vilkeviciute, and Karmen Pedaru.

See V Magazine's First Model Covers in Two Years, Styled by Carine Roitfeld

fashionologie — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:26:24 PDT

>> V magazine collaborated with Carine Roitfeld on its first model covers in two years. The issue, on newsstands Nov. 8, featured four covers with two models apiece, styled by Roitfeld and photographed by Terry Richardson: Candice Swanepoel and Joan Smalls; Daphne Groeneveld and Saskia de Brauw; Sui He and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem, and Bambi Northwood-Blyth and Lindsey Wixson.

“It’s a big moment of change in fashion. In some cases, you feel like it’s the end of an era. I have been feeling this with cover subjects, and especially models,” Roitfeld explained. “These eight girls are unique, not one is like the other. Candice is the only blonde and blue-eyed of this new generation of supermodels. Joan is black, Sui He is Asian, Hanaa is North African. It’s their diversity that makes each of them, to me, truly modern. They bring a new energy to fashion.” The magazine plans to celebrate the issue on Sunday with a Halloween party at the gay nightclub Escuelita, hosted by Richardson, Swanepoel, Smalls, Northwood-Blyth and He.

Video - Behind-the-Scenes on the Latest Carine Roitfeld-Styled Ad Campaign

fashionologie — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 10:26:26 PDT

>> Carine Roitfeld was working with Terry Richardson at his studio earlier this week - given Stephen Gan's presence, the collaboration was likely for V - but another one of their recent projects just made its debut.

Richardson photographed and Carine Roitfeld styled Eniko Mihalik - holding plastic, plaid-shirted Terry Richardson dolls - for David Webb's three-image Fall 2011 jewelry campaign. This is the company's first set of ads in over 20 years, says new Webb co-owner Sima Ghadamian, who hired Roitfeld and Richardson to help reinvigorate the brand. “We wanted to reintroduce David Webb to the world with a new look, but with having all of the original designs he made when he was the biggest designer of his time,” Ghadamian added, describing the three ads as “sexy, young, abundant” and “full of saturated color.”

See Terry Richardson's Pictures from Inside Kate Moss's Wedding

fashionologie — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:10:47 PDT

>> Kate Moss and Jamie Hince took off from the grounds of her Cotswolds home Sunday in a helicopter after a raucous three-day wedding extravaganza - she's rumored to have leaped into her swimming pool, still in her Galliano wedding dress, at one point - presumedly to get their honeymoon started. Rumors have them heading to Timbuktu in Mali, Algeria, the Sahara, Thailand, and the Caribbean over the next few months, but another report came yesterday that Sir Philip Green had loaned them an 109-foot yacht, on which they plan to sail the Mediterranean for the next two weeks. Although spokesman for both Green and Moss declined comment, some more Kate Moss wedding fodder to whet your appetite: Terry Richardson just posted pictures of Moss, Hince, Marc Jacobs, and more during the wedding weekend's festivities.

Lara Stone Breaks Calvin Klein Exclusive with New Tom Ford Beauty Campaign

fashionologie — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 11:44:10 PDT

>> Lara Stone, who landed a Calvin Klein exclusive a year ago and is still making appearances on behalf of the brand - just two days ago she wore Calvin Klein at a CK one-sponsored event in Berlin - doesn't seem to be an exclusive for the brand any more. She's appearing alongside Tom Ford in the campaign for his new beauty collection - which is Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed, instead of photographed by Ford or Terry Richardson as the designer's campaigns have been in the past.

Carine Roitfeld Remains Coy About Whether She's Starting a Magazine

fashionologie — Fri, 27 May 2011 13:44:29 PDT

>> The latest on Carine Roitfeld's wide-ranging current projects? Yesterday, she was collaborating with Terry Richardson on a project for the jeweler David Webb, and last night she gave a little more insight on her upcoming work for V: "I'm doing an entire issue of V magazine with Mario Testino, and we'll start the shooting tomorrow." Kate Winslet is on the cover of the issue, she said. But it sounds like that may not be the only magazine she's working on - when asked about whether the rumor that she's starting a magazine is true, she laughed: "Maybe. Now I have freedom like a butterfly, so I can go from one place to another." [The Cut]

Will Kate Moss Be in Louis Vuitton's Fall 2011 Ad Campaign? Plus, More Casting Rumors

fashionologie — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 12:33:05 PDT

>> The latest Fall 2011 campaign scuttlebutt: Isabeli Fontana is taking the early lead, with campaigns for Escada and Donna Karan booked, and a rumored appearance for Bottega Veneta as well. Karan's campaign, which was captured by Patrick Demarchelier the past three seasons, was snapped by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin for Fall 2011.

Meanwhile, Steven Meisel shot (and Karl Templer styled) the Fall 2011 Louis Vuitton campaign in New York yesterday - but there will reportedly be no Kate Moss appearance as there was on the runway. In fact, no supermodels will be featured at all: Instead, the six models chosen are said to be from the current generation - "Top 50-ish, a bit new. Nothing from the Icon list." Daphne Groeneveld and Fei Fei Sun are rumored to be among them.

Kate Moss has reportedly been cast for another Fall 2011 campaign for Mango; however, it will be shot by Terry Richardson and is today, making lots of appearances on his blog.

Versace, like Donna Karan, is also switching up photographers - after going with Mario Testino for the past eight seasons, Donatella Versace has chosen Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott to do the Fall 2011 honors (with styling by Joe McKenna). Originally, the Versace campaign, like Vuitton, was reportedly supposed to feature six models, including Candice Swanepoel and Groeneveld, but the photographers are rumored to have settled instead on one girl with "short dark hair" who is a "cover star." Some are thinking that might indicate Saskia de Brauw as Versace's new girl.

To round out the Fall 2011 campaign placements so far, Juergen Teller shot Irina Kulikova yesterday for Moschino at Turin's Ristorante del Cambio, Ralph Lauren has reportedly cast its runway opener Sui He, and Liu Wen is rumored to be in the upcoming Dolce & Gabbana campaign.
