The cover says it all. Claudia Schiffer in only knickers and a cat-mask posed for reowned photographer, Mario Testino. Even the titled screams, “SEX by Mario Testino” - don’t think that needs much explanation but it certainly builds everyone’s anticipation for this Vogue issue.
Yours truly will be taking a short holiday for the long weekend. Be back on Tuesday!
It is one thing to be famous. And, another to be immortalized. Our fave ‘IT’ girl, Agyness Deyn has is being unveiled as Rootstein Mannequin’s latest model on May 20th. Rootstein Creative Director Kevin ArpinoI explains the choice, “Rootstein has had a long history of predicting the decades most influential visages and we felt that Agyness embodies the look of the first decade of this century. Her style and mannerisms both on and off the runway, as well as her fabulous physique, made her the perfect choice to be immortalized as a mannequin.”
Agyness Deyn is the face of this century. In her second solo cover of June 2008’s Vogue UK,Agyness looks uber-cute in a “teeny weeny white Burberry shorts with her peroxide crop artfully tousled (by Sam McKnight) – and summer is here at last”.
I love this fashion spread of Kate Moss in full bloom, in V Magazine. I’m soo crushing on the black Christopher Kane lace-up heels featured on Kate. She’s totally rocking the whole fluidity of the dresses and capturing the essence of spring. Simply beautiful. Photography by Nick Knight & styling by Jonathan Kaye.
Kate Moss is not your average bride. Rumours are looming in regards to her September wedding to fiance, Jamie Hince - that didn’t stop the “bride-to-be” from campaigning the ultra-sexy Agent Provocateur’s White Wedding range. The range includes “demi-bras, tasselled nipple ‘pasties’, tulle eye-masks, lacy thongs and baby doll nighties”. Definitely designed to please the man, and to stroke your virginal ego. In addition, Kate was featured in six experimental films entitled, ‘“The Happiest Day of Her Life’, that follows the demise of Moss’s big day, released online at SHOWStudio“. The following wallpapers are available for download at the Agent Provocateurwebsite:
Sophie is playful with its pretty french lace and silky bows.
This sexy corset is named Kate. Will she be wearing this in September?
Katarina is one sexy lingerie. I love the white tulle with cute flowers. Cheeky! Definitely my favourite.
Err… let them eat Kate? Sounds reallyreally ‘wrong’.
My favourite girl, Agyness Deyn is releasing her new collaborative single “Who” with New York band, The Five O’Clock Heroes. Agyness appeared and also sang in the video - it’s catchy, and it kinda reminds me of Milla Jovovich. According to NME, the single will be released on “June 23 on seven-inch vinyl and download formats”. Don’t miss out on this.
Hope Robertson said, “This dress design is an ode to summer – meant to look like the sky — and I’d say the blue and frothy print of this Zac Posen creation even resembles the sea.” It couldn’t be described better. I think the uneven bubble hem is ingenious. Net-A-Porter styled it with Jimmy Chooshoes, a Chloébag and a Philippe Audibertbracelet.
Available at Net-A-Porter at £2,368, the editor quiped “this divine Zac Posen dress seizes upon the idea and transfers it to a modern evening silhouette with brilliant result”.
As seen on Agyness Deyn on the runway and the fabulous, Rachel Bilson, the dress is definitely captivating and eye-catching. I think Rachel Bilson looks absolutely sweet and gorgeous with dark tights and black heels. And, I love her new hair! This is my favourite look of the season. What’s yours?
It’s fashion gone wild! Make noise for Made-in-Brazil supermodel, Gisele Bundshen at the 2008’s opening of Sao Paolo Fashion Week in Rio de Janeiro. Reports exclaimed the frenzy reaction at Gisele’s strut down the catwalk for Brazil’s famed high street label, Colcci in just three outfits.
Her incredible ’supermodel’ presence is one of the main attractions at this year’s Fashion Rio. The loudest noise was made when she walked down in the puffy beige dress (picture: left) and red plaid boots. Let’s just say as one of the richest models in the world - she certainly banked in mega $$$ for her lil’ strut!
Remember Naomi Campbell had to perform community service recently for hitting an assistant on the head with a phone (I think it was a Blackberry). Of course, being Naomi, she had to dress in high fashion from head to toe every day that she had to perform the community service. Apparently Naomi kept a diary while she was performing community service and now, all the diary entries from that period and pictures have been published in the new issue of W magazine.
Here are some quotes from the magazine:
“I find solace in sweeping. I have no other responsibility. I have no phone. I have the time to think. Just have, you know, peace.”
I feel so sorry for Naomi, maybe her maid should let her sweep floors sometimes. Those maids!
“Two of the people in the room have never been on a plane. They ask me what it’s like, and I’m embarrassed to tell them I was on seven planes the week before alone. It’s so interesting to get to know so many different sorts of people.”
I guess this was taken before or after a day of community service - she looks glam there.
I think this is supposed to be Naomi distraught - Naomi crying(?) in what looks like a trailer. Maybe she was upset she no longer had to sweep.
I’m not so sure why I blogged about this now besides the fact that Naomi Campbell is a model and she is on the cover of one of fashion’s great magazines. She still looks pretty great though in my opinion and I hope she has her anger issues under wraps so she can do what she does best, model. And whoever her new assistant, I wish her luck. Oh, the things we do to get a leg in the fashion industry.
x-wen : Rose: Yeah, I would like H&M to reach the shores here, or even Urban Outfitters. LOL. Uniqlo is coming, and I like their basics. I'm bored of the malls in S'pore, it's the same everywhere you go.
x-wen : Rose: Hey you! For film schools, I'm working at NYU Tisch Asia right now. And, NYU is one of the more prestigious film schools in the US. If you're looking at the West coastm you can go to UCLA or CalArts. If not, New York Film Academy is good too.

x-wen : Haha, you should! It's not very ex to go to HK now. I wanna live there and eat dim sums all day.
Bingboompia : Haha! I'm a huge fan of Naruto, so that character came to my mine straight away when I first saw Agyness's new hair. Anyway, I didn't get to view HK's famous night view from that angle, I was on the peak, but this is still VERY VERY beautiful! God, you're making me wanting to go there EVEN MORE!
x-wen : yeah, I read your post after I blogged. I thought that was a really cute comparison. Good spotting!
Bingboompia : Yes! I went HK once before and besides the cheesy phase "shopping heaven", I just can't find another to describe! HAHA! Anyway, about the new Agyness hair, I too blogged about it and compared it with Hinata, a character from Naruto. Try google image search her, you'll be amused. HAHA!
x-wen : Jo: YUP! I love HK! Haha, your guide was helpful. I ate so much that I'm not sure if I can fit into my clothes anymore!

jo_wottoncool : TONY LEONGGGGGG! he's supposed to be mine ): i'm torn! happy and sad at the same time hahaha
Bingboompia : FINALLY! It's about time for both of them to OFFICIALLY tie the knot. Carina Lau looked as gorgeous as always. I've always liked her femininity and classiness. Congrat, truely.
x-wen : Jo: Haha, I guess I'm a cheap date. To me, holidays are more important than handbags (I know, confession of a fashion blogger)
x-wen : Rose: Thanks! It's about a week away now!!
