Vogue Italia September 2010 Goes 3D with Miranda Kerr!

I never thought much about Miranda Kerr to begin with. But, this Vogue Italia September 2010 cover changes everything. In this special 3D issue (comes with 3D glasses!), Miranda collaborated with celebrity photographer Steven Meisel for this futuristic editorial spread. This mummy-to-be is smoking hot even if she was two-months preggers during the shoot! Interesting. Now, where do I get a pair of 3D glasses to look at my own blog post? HMM.

AWW. Such an adorable pup!

Fash-Icon: Jamie Bochert

At first look, Jamie Bochert isn’t your conventional beauty. In fact, I think she looks like a prettier, female version of Marilyn Manson. Alright, that’s not a fair comparison – haha. Let’s just say she is our answer to today’s Patti Smith. Why so? Jamie‘s not only a model – she once quit modeling to pursue a career in music under her singer/songwriter persona, Frances Wolf. Her modeling career was resuscitated overnight after being chosen to front the ad campaigns of Marc Jacobs and Lanvin. Her androgynous, dark features breathe fresh air into the fashion industry. And that’s always a good thing. Let me show you why she’s my Fash-Icon:

The Beginning: Spring Summer 2010 Campaigns

Burberry & Louis Vuitton kicked start my Spring Summer 2010 ad campaign post. I love the beautiful Lara Stone in the ethereal shoot – makes me want to buy LV for the first time, I know. As for Burberry, I thought it was very un-Burberry to begin with and the models are refreshingly sexy for the brand. Then again, I’m not so difficult to please Let’s see if the other luxury brands will blow our 4-inch heels off our feet with their latest SS10 campaign:

Gucci SS10

Natasha Poly is back for Gucci SS10 campaign and yes, I WANT that pair of heels as mentioned here!

Dolce & Gabbana SS10

Madonna-DG-ss10-campaign

Madonna caught eating carbs! Besides, she was also photographed doing dishes. Guess the Queen of Pop is normal afterall.

Fendi SS10

She’s one of my favourite models – Anja Rubik is so leggy-licious in this Fendi SS10 ad.

Bottega Veneta SS10

Peace and Love: Lara Stone for Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010

Published on December 9, 2009 in Ad Campaign, Designer, Models and Spring/Summer. 0 Comments Tags: Brigitte Bardot, Lara Stone, Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2010, Marc Jacobs, Steven Meisel.

Bye Bye, Miss America Pie. Make way for Miss Hot Lips, one of the industry’s most sought-after model Lara Stone. Photographed by Steven Meisel, Lara Stone is the new face of Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign. Creative Director Marc Jacobs was looking for “modern, iconic, sexy beauty” and he found Lara Stone. Excellent choice, I say. “It was a wonderful shoot,” continues Marc Jacobs. “Doves were flying, the atmosphere was sexy and magical, and the result is a set of images that are desirable, colorful, whimsical and, of course, luxurious.” In this campaign, Lara Stone channels Brigitte Bardot as she sprawled beautifully on a bed of moss, fern and doves. Featuring the “metallic Monogram canvas and sun-bleached Monogram denim bags, furry foxtail charms, hardware-inspired jewelry and wooden clogs embellished with rustic tufts of fur”, this ethereal ad campaign definitely looks better than the last season – at least to me. Do you like it?

Look who is Twitpic-ing!

If you can’t fight them, join them. Famed photographer, Steven Meisel spoofed the Twitter phenomenon in Vogue Italia December 2009 in this ingenious editorial called “meiselpic” for obvious reasons. Featuring supermodels such as Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Gisele Bundshen, Agyness Deyn, Lara Stone, Natasha Poly and etc. These self-portraits are accompanied by one-liners such as “Privacy is beautiful!” (Gisele Bundshen)… This editorial is definitely worth a mention. Yay to social networking! Even the prints can’t resist it.

Liu Wen: Victoria Secret’s First Asian Angel

Finally! Liu Wen will be strutting down the runway in sexy lingerie as Victoria’s Secret‘s first Asian angel on Dec 1st. It’s about time, I say! I met Liu Wen at the recent Burberry opening at ION Orchard She’s such a sweetheart and incredibly tall. We looked like dwarfs next to her. I can’t wait to see this 21 year old Chinese beauty walked in Victoria’s Secret 14th annual runway show. She only started modeling three years ago – you’ve to admit that she has really earned those wings. Exciting! Here’s a congratulatory toast to the sexy new Angel:

Coco Rocha in Vogue Korea (Oct 2009)

Published on October 13, 2009 in Magazines and Models. 1 Comment Tags: Coco Rocha, Legend of Fall, Vogue Korea, Vogue Korea October 2009.

I’m seeking inspiration. From anything. I came across this spread featuring one of my favourite models, Coco Rocha in this month’s Vogue Korea. I’ve to say I’ve been fascinated by all-things-Korean lately (despite my Nippon craze). Well, there’s nothing very Korean about this. There is something whimsical and romantic in this ‘Legend of Fall’ editorial – big hair, fall colours, big flowers. I need something to spice up my long, tiring week. I’ve been pretty busy with everything – in a good way. I like to keep myself occupied. People think I’m crazy or over-ambitious. Maybe I am. I feel the need for self-progression. I like learning and creating. Sometimes I forget that I need to relax. Sometimes I forget to call my mum. Sometimes I forget to spend time with people in my life (or out of my life). I need to be more selfless and giving. In fact, I think Aunt Irma is making me very emo. I need to get away.
