We first saw Karlie Kloss stomping down a runway when she was just 15 and since then she’s kept up a pretty wholesome image. However, it’s hard not to feel like fashion people have been eager to get her naked as soon as legally possible: inside a year of turning 18, she landed the cover of i-D‘s Exhibitionist issue wearing nothing but a Prada hat and half of Jourdan Dunn’s also-naked body. It even kind of reminded us of that creepy countdown clock to the Olsens turning 18. …Now Kloss is 19 and Mario Testino has shot her for a beauty feature in Allure… her first completely naked shoot.

Remember when we mentioned Riccardo Tisci’s really expensive issue of Visionaire? Well, it’s out. And thankfully it’s hardcover (I don’t know if I’m joking). It’s also very, very NSFW. The issue is described as Tisci’s “meditation on the theme of religion” and explores the subject as “a synonym for obsession, ritual, worship, apparition and the celebration of humanity.” PROVIDED YOU ARE NOT AT WORK (or have a really cool job), check out Lara Stone, Marina Abramovic, and Arizona Muse and more photographed by majors like Inez & Vinoodh, Mert & Marcus and Mario Testino.

Kate Moss Nude, Has Butt Tattoos On ‘Vogue’ Brasil Cover

Kate Moss Nude, Has Butt Tattoos On 'Vogue' Brasil Cover

And now, our first peek at Vogue Brasil’s hefty 36th anniversary issue, featuring over 60 pages of Kate the Great as shot by her pal Mario Testino. Until we get a better look, I’ll be preoccupied with wondering 1) why would an institution celebrate its 36 anniversary, as it seems a kind of lame and uneventful milestone and 2) are they wings? And then after a moment of wondering, I realized Google existed. More »

Kristen Stewart’s kind of awk Vogue cover leaked last week, but wait! There’s more! Again, I think Kristen gets picked on way more than she deserves, and I find her complete lack of fluency in Hollywood talking points a little tiny bit charming. That said, she might consider getting a new facial expression. Here are the outtakes from her shoot with Proenza Schouler’s very cute Jack McCollough and equally cute Lazaro Hernandez, lensed by Mario Testino. More »

Models of the Decade: Carmen Kass

Models of the Decade: Carmen Kass
J'Adore
Spanish%20Vogue
For%20Michael%20Kors
Vanity%20Fair
For%20Gucci

Carmen Kass grew up in Paide (population: less than 10,000), Estonia and she didn’t finish high school. At age eighteen, she traveled to Paris to pursue modeling and became one of the biggest supermodels on the planet. She dominated the first half of the decade with every major campaign you can name: Chanel, Fendi, Gucci, Givenchy, Chloe. Her long, gazelle-like limbs and delicate features are practically synonymous with J’Adore. Although she’s slowed her pace since, she’s still the muse to Michael Kors (and star of every campaign), she did Celine in 2010, and (bonus!) became  president of the Estonian National Chess League. She is one of Mario Testino’s absolute favorites. And one of ours, too. More »
