Gallery: Supermodels Without Makeup, Hair Or Retouching

Every now and again we’re treated to one of those “Beautiful people! They’re just like us!” spreads in a magazine. But those press-baiting editorials are always in perfect, sunset lighting with glamorous styling, etc. This time, however–to celebrate the launch of the Viva model agency in London–Scott Trindle shot a bunch of top models without makeup, hair, or styling, looking just the way they did when they walked into the studio. For once, we’re getting a pretty raw look (there’s a bruise on Natalia’s leg) at these women who make a living off their beauty. Unsurprisingly, they’re all still very, very beautiful. But they’re actually much more compelling to look at, as well. More »

See ‘Inspiration Dior,’ Christian Dior’s Sprawling Museum Exhibit

Tuesday night saw the opening of “Inspiration Dior,” a sprawling, ambitious new exhibit at Moscow’s Pushkin Museum, in which over 12o couture looks from the house’s history are shown alongside the very “paintings and photographs that have inspired its designers,” like Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano and the man himself. Artists shown include Cezanne, Toulouse-Lautrec, Man Ray, Gustav Klimt, and more. WWD was there, along with the almost-eerily-flawless Natalia Vodianova and everyone else of huge influence in the fashion industry (like Mr. Arnault, of course). Here are the photos. More »

Gallery: The Use and Abuse of Leopard Print

Generally speaking, I think leopard print should be relegated to splashes: handbags, scarves, ballet flats, or even a shirt if paired with (for example) simple black trousers. I’m in the “always tone it down” camp though, and Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian/Aubrey O’Day are firmly not. Still, I think a bold coat or a statement-making mini can work, so long as there’s a little balance and restraint. Here’s what we consider good uses and poor abuses of leopard. More »
