Lady Gaga In Vogue March 2011 Cover And Editorial Finaly In High-Res
Vogue finally released the high-resolution images of Lady Gaga Vogue March 2011 cover and editorial, both photographed by Mario Testino. By featuring who Vogue consider to be a cutting edge artist they allowed themselves to feature the more original (and gorgeous) designers as well. I'm absolutely delighted to see looks by Haider Ackermann, Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Louis Vuitton in the editorial, with Ackermann getting the cover.
Women probably shouldn't say things like this about other women, but you really can't photoshop someone pretty, can you? Vogue cleaned her up and dressed her up, but even they couldn't infuse grace, poise, allure or any other type of appealing quality into her blank face.
I choose to concentrate on the positive though ...

Abbey Lee Kershaw Declared The New Supermodel By V Magazine
Abbey Lee Kershaw was styled as a 70's icon in a forthcoming V Magazine 'A is for Abbey' editorial. Photographed by Sebastian Faena, she wears pieces by Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Versus, Burberry Prorsum, Salvatore Ferragamo and a huge 70's appropriate bleached hairdo.
"Great models aren’t made overnight. In fact, 23-year-old Australian Abbey Lee Kershaw has been rising through the ranks for years. This season, however, undoubtedly belongs to her. Meet fashion’s new supermodels at her most super," declares V Magazine. And I tend to agree.
Spring 2011 Campaigns Roundup: Versace, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Chanel And 13 More
Take a look at the established brands' Spring 2011 campaigns from the likes of Prada, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Dior, Fendi, Dolce & Gabanna, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Miu Miu, Salvatore Ferragamo, Givenchy and Valentino.
Some were better than others. My personal favorites are Givenchy and Bottega Veneta. The two are worlds apart as far as styling goes, but very intriguing and eye-catching without being banal or tacky. The absolute worst has to be Marc Jacobs.
While we are waiting to see ad campaigns of the more contemporary brands, tell me who are your best and worst?

Jacobs said of the win, "I’m lucky to have this great job at Louis Vuitton. I can’t put [what I love about Paris] into one thing. It’s an ephemeral feeling, I feel happy and comfortable there. It’s the physical city, the lifestyle, the wine, the art."
Since 1992, each year the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) chooses an American honoree who contributes to the French culture thus bringing the French ...
