Emma Watson grown up for T Style

There’s not much about Emma Watson’s cover shoot for the New York Times T Style magazine that you’d call youthful. That’s an inevitability of spending your youth known to all as a sweet, magic wand yielding school girl. Watson seems keen to remind the world that she’s not that little girl anymore. Rather than do that by way of sexed-up dresses, her shoot for T…

Hong Kong romance: Emporio Armani

Beautifully shot in black and white, Alasdair McLellan’s campaign for Emporio Armani spring 2012 gives every strand of hair, every freckle, every texture of fabric the attention it deserves. But the true romance comes from the locale, Hong Kong, with the fashion house themselves even giving a nod that, yes, the city “with its harmonic and energetic mix of past and future, is the movie’s…

The epitome of American Pop: Abbey Lee

“The lush garden of Elizabeth Taylor’s former home” is the backdrop, though you’d think we might be entitled to see a little more of it. Instead this could be any hedge-lined rose garden. But the Beverly Hill mood does resonate throughout the shoot – especially with the strong play on retro florals that Francesa Burns styles into it. Abbey Lee Kershaw is the ‘American Pop’…

Louis Vuitton take their men on a trip

The Louis Vuitton men’s spring 2012 collection was not just a rebirth of the fashion house’s menswear offering under designer Kim Jones, but also an acknowledgement of precisely what LV’s male customer is: wealthy and wont to travel. As I wrote at the time of the spring 2012 showing, the collection struck me as “something of a complete travel wardrobe.” As the release of the…

Muse & Groeneveld: the art of the tease

Arizona Muse’s Self Service cover wasn’t just an empty promise. Deep down we were hoping the inside pages would delve further into 60s style hairdos and outfits, and we’re not in the least bit disappointed. Self Service delivers with an editorial that pairs Muse with Daphne Groeneveld for more teased, bobby-pinned hair and thick clumpy lashes. Some of Alasdair McLellan’s shots are stunning in their…

The Arizona Muse bob

Aside from being some of those that are refreshingly clean and tagline-free, Self Service’s two Arizona Muse covers for their fall / winter 2011 issue are a lesson in hairstyle transformation. More often than not looking classically silver-screen with her waved bob, Alasdair McLellan’s shots of Muse are instead decidedly 1960s. And all it takes is some volume, a teased crown, and a simple bobby…

Lara soft in Self Service

Not everyone can have a body as impossible as Lara Stone‘s, or a trademark as distinguishable as her gap-tooth smile. But anyone can (and we’d argue, certainly should) take inspiration from the sublime retro styling in this shoot of Lara’s for Self Service. With ultra-soft sex kitten hair (Brigitte Bardot anyone?) and outfits styled by Jane How, this shoot is one of the most stunning…
