i-D Magazine must not be among the fashion glossies hurting for funds. For their fall “Role Model” issue, i-D shot sixteen very impressive covers featuring a mixture of supermodels like Linda Evangelista and Gisele Bundchen, and up-and-comers like Jourdan Dunn and Kolfinna Kristófersdóttir. Stylistically, the covers are fairly diverse; some are in color, some in black and white, and some are styled in an ultra-modern way while others are more retro. But in each one, the model is hiding one of her eyes, which creates a nice common thread. Here are all them. More »

Here are three things there’s no chance you’re not sick of: 1) Lindsay Lohan, 2) Terry Richardson, celebrities getting 3)  all Marilyn Monroe‘ed out and vamping about in bonde waves, red lipstick and vintage lingerie. …Add “double negatives” as a potential four? …Anyway, Richardson and Lohan’s sleazy love affair endures in the latest issue of Love (the one with Linda Evangelista on the cover) and these here are the outtakes. All the typical Richardson ingredients are present: semi-nudity, cigarettes, upskirts, saturated light, blank expressions, etc. so if panty shots of Lindsay Lohan aren’t safe for your work, don’t look.

When reading W‘s art and fashion issue, you might want to pay close attention to the pages and pages of ads you normally skip through to get to the editorial content. This is because, scattered among the ads for actual products, are nine completely fake ads for fake products shot by the wonderful Steven Meisel. They star such familiar faces as Karen Elson, Linda Evangelista, and good old Joan Rivers, and I happen to think they’re a pretty brilliant marriage of fashion and art. More »

7 Things About the Fashion Industry I Learned from Tyra Banks’ ‘Modelland’

7 Things About the Fashion Industry I Learned from Tyra Banks' 'Modelland'
Models have superpowers
Other countries that produce models have stupid names
Actresses are the scum of the earth
The ticket to modeling stardom is the SM-IZE
Male models have feelings too

After I read a sample of Tyra Banks‘ new novel Modelland a few weeks ago, I thought it sounded like a fashion-themed ripoff of The Hunger Games. However, I got my hands on a copy of the full text, which comes out on September 13, and think there’s a lot more going on that just one plotline that reminds me of Suzanne Collins‘ hugely successful trilogy. The book is also a gateway into the mind of Tyra herself, and there’s a lot to be gleaned from peeking into her – or her ghostwriter’s – psyche. But what did it teach me about being a model? More »
