a little bit of narcissism on a saturday morning

black hair, pale skin, red lips. just a few of my favorite things. 

vogue italia cover - feb 2010. 

marc jacobs for spring

oh, how i love the eruption of seasonal ad campaigns. and marc jacobs' are truly some of my favorites. so quirky and witty...who doesn't love their models and fashionable celebs popping out of  boxes or posing in various bizarre bodily contortions?

the new vogue italia cover, featuring sasha pivovarova and ash stymest, shot by steven meisel, is unbelievable. sometimes i wish anna wintour would take off her sunglasses, take a cue from her european contemporaries, and give us something more conceptual. i love charlize theron...as an actress. what she's doing on the fall cover of the september issue is still quite beyond me.

i love all the bold colors in this photo: sasha's eyemake is unbelievable, and the lettering of the vogue logo compliments the photo perfectly. sasha's scarf, the jewels on her fingerless glove, the orange border of ash's helmet...it's all so brilliantly and meticulously styled. i can't wait to see the actual editorial.

additional covers were shot, also (a trend, i'm seeing...)

anna jagodazinska

i love the all the character in this photo, a bit cheeky and wry. and anna's brocaded velvet gown is magnificent.
