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…

Hedi Slimane’s trademark style of little (or no) colour and unfussy portraiture, while recognisable, doesn’t always jump off the page. But when it’s Anja Rubik that’s in front of Slimane’s lens it’s an electric partnership that always results in eye-catching images. This time the power-duo get together in a shoot for Vogue Japan’s March 2012 issue, and it’s the little things that count: Anja’s exaggerated…

Arizona Muse‘s bob was a game-changer. A defining feature. The magic carpet on which she shot to (fashion world) fame. That’s the power of a haircut in the modeling world, much like the short cropped hairstyles that set Anja Rubik and Freja Beha Erichsen apart from the pack in recent years. Muse’s chin-length waved bob gave her an air of Laure Bacall-like classic glamour: to…

Is a reinvention is on the cards for Sasha Pivovarova? It was about six years ago now that Sasha stepped onto the scene and into the shadow left by Gemma Ward. Or maybe it’s better put that at the time wide-eyed, unconventional beauty was trending a path paved largely by Gemma, and there, all of a sudden, was Sasha. Let’s not forget that models have…

Vogue Paris isn’t ready to farewell the ’70s just yet. Or, if they are, they’d prefer to do it with a bang not a whimper. Anja Rubik is the September issue’s hippie icon. Melanie Ward’s styling does its best to embrace every possible bohemian free-loving ’70s cliche in living memory, from cossack hats to suede fringing, high-waisted denim to all kinds of luxe fur coats.…

Anja Rubik has a knack for pulling off the damn near impossible. She made wearing a see-through practically non-existent skirt in broad daylight look like a stylish walk in the proverbial park. And her next feat: a dress that’s both gapingly open-weave and body consciously skin tight. Once again Anja paints over a revealing dress with the smooth brush of sophistication. And once again it’s…

Karl Lagerfeld seems to be consistently hitting bullseye whilst putting the phrase ‘third time lucky’ to shame. The man has articulately captured Anja Rubik for the third consecutive season in Fendi’s fall 2011 campaign. The sultry images see Rubik playing an artist’s muse to male model Brad Kroenig. Even though on a normal day you’d keep your treasured Fendi clothes and accessories far, far away…

No-one can work a super-skinny silhouette quite like Anja Rubik can. So if you’re going to do an editorial that takes the glitter of Ziggy Stardust and crosses it with the rock-star attitude (and leather pants) of Jim Morrison, you’re doing well to cast her as your model. And aside from the general visual appeal of Anja’s shoot, which is mostly black and white in…

If ever there was any doubt that milkmaid braids and white lace are a match made in heaven, let’s dispel them now. And in this context the match-making analogy is a particularly fitting one: with the shoot being from Vogue Brazil Brides magazine. While the theme of bridal wear made sexy, and specifically with a rustic, milkmaid bent, is far from new (Anja Rubik’s barnyard…

Balenciaga’s flat cut-away boots could quite easily be dubbed the defining piece of footwear for 2011′s interpretation of punk. Hence why they proved the perfect opener for Vogue Nippon’s June 2011 When Punk Meets Funk shoot starring Anja Rubik, purposefully thrust atop a chair and into the frame. But further into the shoot we’re reminded that a pair of flat loafers can work just as…
