Mert and Marcus

From the T Magazine blog, interestingly the fashion powerhouse of Mert and Marcus have been caught out referencing the work of Iranian artist and active fashion photographer Ali Mahdavi in their recent editorial for Love. 

I confess I wasn't familiar with his name but recognize his work (he is also artistic director of the Crazy Horse in Paris). 

Kate Moss Addiction

I'm totally addicted to Kate Moss. I can't seem to get enough. There is just something amazingly cool and sexy about her.

Here is her amazing spread from the last issue of Self Service, shot presumably at her home by Juergen Teller, and some recent posts from Vulture.

Then there is this commercial which had me hypnotized outside Westfield Sydney where it is playing on a giant screen.

Sarah: LOVE this ad. She is a goddess! Addiction justified!

Bill Cunningham

This post is devoted to the amazing Rara who pointed us toward this new documentary on Bill Cunningham. I hadn't heard of him before but it looks interesting. I like his quote about celebrities and free clothes.

And don't worry - Sarah is back from media exile and back to blogging tomorrow!

Sarah: God I can't WAIT to see this film! My favourite quote is

"If you don't take money they can't tell you what to do - that's they key to the whole thing!"

Infinite wisdom.

Roitfeld Madness

Not only can we look forward to a full Carine Roitfeld book Irreverant later this year (and a Julia Restoin-Roitfeld fragrance), the latest news is that our muse is teaming up with one of my all time favourite photographer Mario Sorrenti as a guest editor and stylist for Barney's New York fall ad campaign, catalogue and window displays! 

If Kate Moss signs on to this project I'll die happy.

More Self Service Amaziness

I am obsessed with these photos by Clement Jolin posted at the Self Service blog from the Vuitton and Valentino shows in Paris.

Literally Amaze-balls.

 

Lara Stone and Self Service

Here is the latest issue of one of my favourite magazines, Self Service featuring Lara Stone on the cover.She is becoming iconic - right?

There is also an adorable video with Frida Gustavsson from their site.

Sarah: Love it! I'll have to go and get a copy. I love Lara Stone - "The best boobs in the business!" and I love that video of someone flicking through the mag - what a clever ad idea!

Uncle Karl does Blake Lively

Finally someone has come out and said what I've been secretly wondering all along: Perhaps Uncle Karl isn't that great a photographer? Sure he can take a photo, but his ads for Chanel are, well usually underwhelming. The surprising thing is I actually don't mind this one featuring Blake Lively. It's not Mert and Marcus, but it works. I'm also liking the recent campaign with Georgia May. Here she is with the Kaiser below. Maybe he is growing on me.

Sarah: I'm sorry but I hate Blake UnLively, and do I spy a camel toe on Georgia May in those little silver shorts? Uncle Karl needs to put the camera down and back away slowly...

Secret Crush

Anja Rubik on the cover of Spanish Vogue. Swoon.

Sarah: Stunning, Stunning, Stunning!
