Fashion Magazine Covers – February 2010

admin — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:34:37 +0000

Vogue Italia

Jamie Bochert, Daphne Guinness and Agyness Deyn, ph by Steven Meisel. Jamie is scoring her second Vogue Italia cover, Daphne is making a debut (if you don’t count her couture supplement cover shot by Steven Klein for Sept ‘08) while Agyness is a surprise inclusion in the trio. It’s been a while since we last saw Agy on any cover, no? It is a weird mixture, all of them are very different from each other but then again, that’s the point of the issue — ‘INDIVIDUALS’, how they rock those tie-dye Blumarine pieces in their own style.

Vogue Paris

Daria Werbowy in Prada, ph by Inez & Vinoodh. Daria must be Team Vogue Paris’s favourite cover girl, she gets to front the cover around every half a year— August ‘08, May ‘09, August 09′ and now February ‘10. The cover shot seems to be taken from part of the editorial shot in Morocco, it’s a gorgeous shot anyway. Check out the rest of the mega new collections editorial previously posted here.

Vogue US

Jessica Biel in Ralph Lauren, ph by Mario Testino.

Vogue UK

Natalia Vodianova ph by Nick Knight.

Vogue Germany

Eva Mendes

Vogue España

Kylie Minogue

Vogue Russia

Magdalena Frackowiak, on her second Vogue Russia cover, ph by Tom Munro. This issue is about USA.

Vogue China

Shu Pei and Mirte Maas, both in Gucci, ph by Patrick Demarchelier.

Vogue Nippon

Abbey Lee Kershaw ph by Inez & Vinoodh. Finally, a piece from Celine by Phoebe Philo gets featured on a Vogue cover. Big time for Celine.

Vogue Korea

Kasia Struss ph by David Sims. Reprint from Vogue US Jan ‘10 editorial ‘Jacket of all trades’

Vogue India

Sarah Jessica Parker

Vogue Taiwan

Top chinese actress Li Bing Bing in Burberry.

Vogue Australia

Nicole Trunfio

Vogue Greece

Again— Kasia Struss by David Sims, Vogue US reprint. They must love that editorial.

Vogue Mexico

Lindsay Ellingson

Numéro France

Anna Selezneva in Lanvin, ph by Peter Lindberg. The covers is very much of Lindberg’s style of moody, black & white photography, and Anna’s posing and the lightness of the Lanvin jumpsuit make a great cover. See the full editorial by Lindberg here.

Numéro Tokyo

Caroline Trentini ph by David Vasiljevic

Numéro Korea

Hanne Gaby Odiele ph by Lina Scheynius. You hardly see huge handbags on covers, and there you go, a mega Louis Vuitton bag occupying cover space.

Dazed & Confused

Magdalena Frackowiak ph by Josh Olins. Love the contrast of the elegant headpiece, her pose and the bizarreness of Viktor & Rolf’s gown. See the entire editorial here.

Dazed & Confused Japan

Myf Shepherd ph by Yasunori Kikuma. Myf is said to be taking a break from modelling to focus on her studies.

W

Rihanna ph by Craig McDean. Besides Burberry, Gucci’s new Spring ‘10 pieces get featured on a lot of front cover too, editor’s new favourites.

Terry Richardson – 2010 Pirelli Calendar: Behind the Scenes Video (NSFW)

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:36:34 +0000

The amazing Terry Richardson was invited to create the Pirelli calendar for 2010; in typical style we saw Richardson photograph an array of young, female models, most of whom were entirely nude. Talking about his work and exploring the creation of this year’s calendar, this video offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Richardson’s work.

Homes for Haiti – Architecture Watch

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:58:10 +0000

“Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed.” — President Rene Preval of Haiti

As Preval noted, Haiti’s rebuilding efforts in the wake of January’s 7.0 earthquake won’t be complete without a manifold approach, as the entire infrastructure of the nation and its capital, Port-au-Prince, has crumbled under thousands of tons of rubble. The shelter issue is pressing, however: 3,000 people sleeping on a school soccer field, machete fights over tents, an estimated 1 million people displaced. So how are architects responding to an immediate humanitarian crisis? They are problem solvers, after all. Continue Reading — click here

Even more short-term is the shelter box, a rescue kit of sorts that costs $1,000: each one weighs 110 pounds and is packed impermanent sheltering supplies like a ten-person tent, blankets, sleeping bags, tools, and other items.

Love #3 Magazine

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:37:31 +0000

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Daria Werbowy, Natalia Vodianova, Lara Stone, Janeil Williams ph by Mert & Marcus.

If you have been noticing lately, many magazines are repeating the same trick of putting out multi covers (so that you can’t decide which ones to buy because they are all so gorgeous, and you end up buying more than one, or ALL) supermodels comeback, nearly naked, because sex sells obviously. And they are mostly in black & white because it washes out a bit of the supposedly tackiness in nudity. Count that as the ultimate factors of selling a magazine, but they probably worked wonders.

Something like this i-D’s cover from last year screams must-buy. Full package.

As for the LOVE issue, personally I would go for Lara’s cover. I am also anticipating POP’s 2nd issue under Dasha.
