Could Lara Stone be losing her Louis Vuitton campaign crown next season?
According to the fashion rumour mill the model du jour, who took over from Madonna, won’t be returning for the brand’s A/W 2010 range.
Instead the gossip grapevine is suggesting it will be Christy Turlington and Natalia Vodianova who will replace Lara.
A source for the brand said: “Steven Meisel will shoot the Louis Vuitton Fall 2010 Campaign featuring Christy Turlingtoand; Natalia Vodianova. Styling by Karl Temper.”
American Vogue has broken its run of celebrities on their covers by featuring Christy Turlington on its August issue. The supermodel was photographed by Steven Klein flashing more than a bit of leg in a lilac halterneck gown. But nstead of the usual high fashion editorial inside, Christy is captured on location in Guatemala while on location shooting No Woman, No Cry, her documentary on motherhood in third world nations.
Calvin Klein is in hot water yet again after a provocative billboard for its womenswear and menswear jeans line was unveiled in New York this week. The racy ad which depicts a young female semi-naked model lying across one man and kissing another has caused uproar amongst appalled Manhattanites. However CK designers are at a loss to see the problem.
“It’s my favorite campaign ever!” said CK menswear designer, Italo Zucchelli. “I hope they’re going to be, ‘Ooooh, what is that?’ And then they buy our jeans. In the best tradition of Calvin Klein.”
It’s beginning to be par for the course – Calvin Klein creates a commercial, it’s too hot for TV and is banned and gets more attention and buzz than it ever would have on the airwaves.
This time the commercial, above, and admittedly a little NSFW, was even banned from late night cable. But it looks like a toned down version will make it to your TV.
After months of speculation as to who has scored the cover of Italian Vogue’s July ’08 issue, featuring only black models, the time has finally come to reveal all…
The fold-out cover stars (from left to right) Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Naomi Campbell. Under the careful eye of editor Franca Sozzani, and photographer Steven Meisel, the ground-breaking issue is a welcomed sight for many who have long campaigned for equal rights in the fashion industry, but will it help to bring about change?
Looking like a mixture of otherworldly alien and parody of a model, with her sharp cheekbones and broom-thin body, Iekeliene Stange (pronounced Ee-kel-een-ah) has quickly become a member of the new batch of top models. A favorite of big names in the fashion industry, photographer Steven Meisel picked her for a Vogue Italia shoot and Marc Jacobs had her open his spring 2006 show, where she removed her Lucite heels half-way down the runway. Calling Snow White and Japan’s Harajuku girls personal style icons, Stange’s outfits backstage are sometimes more impressive than her outfits on stage. She regularly shows up to events wearing lens-free glasses and dresses usually only suitable for four-year-olds or cartoon characters.
