Karmen Pedaru, the sexiest I think I’ve ever seen her look, in a vibrant red wig and nothing but a pair of Prada’s hot rod heels. Mariacarla Boscono Bettie Page-like with black fringed hair and a leopard-print belted bodysuit. Just when we felt like we might nod off, Mert & Marcus brought us this bedtime reading that’s worthy of the cover of some vintage pulp…

Were it not for the punchline at the end that finally furnishes this video with some semblance of a point (the punchline being “Go-go to the new Vogue.fr”) you’d wonder what relevance Wham! could possibly have to a relaunch of the Vogue Paris website. But there it is, a video of Emmanuelle Alt miming to Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Telling you to Go-Go…

Update: you can now view a full gallery of campaign images after the break. And yes – the Art Deco elements are definitely in full force. Mert & Marcus are still the photographers of choice for Gucci, this time shooting the fashion house’s campaign for spring 2012. While the solid gold backdrop could be something from the opulent side of the ’40s, there’s little about…

The Victoria’s Secret show 2011 will be on the runway in a matter of hours. Anticipated for it’s energy, entertainment value and star power as much as for it’s lingerie, the question isn’t just what will be on the catwalk but who. So who can we expect to see bounding down the runway this year, wings fluttering, eyelashes batting, kisses blowing with targeted determination towards…

Thigh high splits. Over the knee boots. Selectively placed furs and blazers. Each are about perspective. Particular angles can detract from the effect, others can heighten it in any number of ways. Despite this, the majority of photo shoots tend to concentrate on each statement element from the same perspective – thigh high splits, for instance, are nearly always photographed with their wearer in motion,…

There’s another photo shoot from the June / July 2011 issue of Vogue Paris that has caught our eye, and this time not for allegations of copying. Instead it’s all to do with contrast. Contrast between direction. Contrast between things said. Contrast between editors. This all comes about because for a long time Vogue Paris was a print media title of influence. Every issue not…

Seemingly the resurgence of wide leg pants has brought with it a renewed interest in masculine tuxedo dressing. That’s not surprising; the two make for a beautiful wedding, every time. And unlike the slick, skinny takes on the trend we saw back in 2008 (which was largely about the tuxedo jacket) this time it’s the shape, the silhouette, the 70s influence; like you just stepped…

There’s a Royal wedding on the mind of Britain, and it seems to have influenced the theming of Vogue UK’s May 2011 wedding supplement: Acres of tulle, hours of handiwork and countless fantasies – Vogue celebrates summer’s breathtaking bridal gowns. And how better to mark a uniquely British wedding than with the pride of the nation? The above description refers to the shoot Wedding Belles;…

Backstage at Diesel Black Gold’s fall 2011 show, models are smouldering. Hair is side-slicked into a rough, textured style that manages to traverse the territories of rock-chic and romance all at once, and make-up is as hard as the collection’s tough leather pieces. Creating a perfectly coherent look isn’t always easy, but creative director Sophia Kokosalaki just gets it. Today’s completed look at Diesel is…

Perhaps it’s the side braids, or maybe it’s the tribal themes, either way this photo shoot has an adventure on the high sea element. A pea green dress, peasant tops and saffron silks by the likes of Marc Jacobs and Salvatore Ferragamo stand out against an ocean backdrop for this Vogue UK shoot.
