LOVE #3

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Kristen McMenamy, Amber Valletta, Daria Werbowy, Natalia Vodianova, Lara Stone, Janeil Williams ph by Mert & Marcus.

If you have been noticing lately, many magazines are repeating the same trick of putting out multi covers (so that you can’t decide which ones to buy because they are all so gorgeous, and you end up buying more than one, or ALL) supermodels comeback, nearly naked, because sex sells obviously. And they are mostly in black & white because it washes out a bit of the supposedly tackiness in nudity. Count that as the ultimate factors of selling a magazine, but they probably worked wonders.

Something like this i-D’s cover from last year screams must-buy. Full package.

As for the LOVE issue, personally I would go for Lara’s cover. I am also anticipating POP’s 2nd issue under Dasha.

The new Vogue China March 10′ cover

Shares an uncanny resemblance with this Vogue US May ‘09 cover shot by Steven Meisel.

To note:

— Anna Jagodzinska is in the exact same position, same pose, same expression.

— the three models on each cover shot are the same brunette, blonde, blonde. (asian replace black)

— they are being shot in the same position, two models on top, one below, half body.

— also a group of mixed models from veterans to rising stars, and different countries.

On another note, this is Liu Wen first Vogue China cover. She deserves the spot even though she is at the far end. Maybe one day, a solo cover will be in the works.

Couture does shorts, and Suzy on Dior

The new casual— couture shorts at Chanel and Givenchy.

Suzy Menkes on Dior— “For all his genius, Mr. Galliano refuses to click on the modern world’s reset button or drag his icons to a new place … It would be a fine thing if Mr. Galliano could just once make the starting point of Dior couture not fashion’s sweet memories but a clean sheet of paper on which he writes 2010.” Don’t you agree?
