Diane Kruger and husband Joshua Jackson were amongst the A-list-Attendees of the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival for the Women in Film party, hosted by the Independent Filmmaker Project, Calvin Klein Collection and Euphoria Calvin Klein. With a flawless look that was perfectly complemented by each other’s look they were the couple of the moment – What a handsome couple -. Kruger, a member of the Cannes jury this year was wearing Calvin Klein Collection and said that her partner, Joshua Jackson is keeping her company — as far as jury duty allows. “We can go see movies together; we can’t really talk about it, which is a little weird,” she said. Besides her jury duties the German Starlet is rocking the red carpet with every single look she comes out with, just perfect.

Beach Sensual

A very sensual Gisele Bündchen covers the june/july issue of Vogue Paris, with a sand covered butt in a very french cover photographed by Inez & Vinoodh. The brazilian supermodel looks very editorial for the “Spécial Formes” special which is the reason why models should be covering magazines more often – instead of so many celebs – all over the world, only somebody like Gisele Bündchen could pull this off, a sensual-Vogue-Paris worthy picture. Very editorial-sexy.

The Sport Issue

The Olympic frenzy is taking over the world, and we can make it official when Mrs. Wintour let a former Dancing With The Stars contestant, the not so stylish Serena Williams and a hunky male swimmer invade the cover of the june issue of her beloved Vogue Us. If most the singers and actresses do not get close to the supermodels greatness in front of the camera, the athletes are even worst, so choosing Hope Solo, Serena Williams and Ryan Lochte, are probably an odd choice – I never thought that a Dancing with the stars contestant would be on the cover of the A-List magazine -, but it actually works specially because it becomes an ode to the hard work of the hard-working “America’s Olympics Hopefuls”, so it becomes and interesting note that is perfectly appropiate for the season.

The highlight of this issue is with no doubt the Karlie Kloss’ editorial, which is breathtaking and simply magnificent. Couture dresses in sporty scenarios joined by athletes doing what the o best in their quest for Olympic gold captured by none other than Annie Leibovitz, is just glorious. Enjoy the pics from this brilliant editorial and a video in which you can see Ashton Eaton Jumping over the stylishly calmed Karlie in couture… Just Wow.

The summer is almost here, and everybody is getting ready for it, but beyond having great clothes it all begins with the perfect body, and that always becomes the leit-motiv of the junes issues all over the globe. Naked and sporty-looking supermodels, athletes and different kind of celebs invade covers all over the globe to prep us for a stylishly-sporty season, but Vogue Uk has taken an extremely chic and edgy twist gracing their June cover with an ultra glamourous Kate Moss, wearing a studded leather and silk Versace dress, and the outcome could not be any better. The Vogue edition of the hosts of the Olympics, went for a stylish but incredibly appropriate choice to prep us for the healthy frenzy.

Fall/Winter 2003

 Get Out Of My Way Bitch

Going through some old files I found this amazing gif of the CD Fall/Winter 2003-04 fashion show, when PETA decided that it was a good idea to invade the catwalk with protesting signs. Which is not only ridiculous but extremely disrespectful, These people think that they can do whatever they want and we have to put up with everything they do, they try to protect the animals attacking people and the economy, way to go PETA. I respect animals and I support their rights but Come on, this is just ridiculous. Anyway, I love Nadine Strittmatter’s attitude, very “move over bitch I am trying to work”. I love it, what a great model. HIT!

D.I.S.C.O By The Young Professionals

Dance Moves

 

The Young Professionals are a really great band that according to their own words, “create something new, always based on something old. Through sound, words, visuals and materials, we try to communicate, with you, with others, with ourselves”. TYP was formed by  one of Israel’s biggest-selling musicians Ivri Lider and acclaimed Israeli producer Johnny Goldstein. Ivri Lider is winner of the Male Singer of the Year by the Israeli radio; Show of the Year and Lyricist of the Year. In addition, Ivri was recently nominated for best Euro- pean Act on MTV EMA 2011. Ivri released 5 studio albums and a live DVD. Used to his soulful music, Ivri Lider made a drastic departure to electronic music joining forces with producer composer Johnny Goldstein who already became a significant force in the Israeli music scene, recording with the biggest names under the industry. And the result could not be any more enjoyable and fascinating, as we can see on the youtube sensation D.I.S.C.O.

Full of great music and strong visual aesthetic this is a band to watch, their video D.I.S.C.O as all of their music is so enjoyable and really fun to watch – and off course dance to – but the show here belongs to the astonishingly fabulous Uriel Yekutiel, such an amazing talent with an incredibly strong personality that exudes pure glamour and style, I seriously love him, he is just fantastic. Enjoy the video and some dance classes from Yekutiel himself to learn all the moves of this fantastic videos, and if you are not in the mood to shake your body, simply enjoy watching Mr. Uriel he is just magnificent.

Elle Brasil: Maio 2012

Elle Brazil+Coco Rocha

Surprisingly Pure High Fashion

The may issue of Elle Brazil commemorates the brazilian edition’s 24th birthday. For which, its “capa da edição de maio” has no other than the always amazing, the ultra-top-supermodel Coco Rocha, and the final result could not be any better. Photographed by Max Abadian in New York, it is stunning, pure high fashion that could only be accomplished with a MODEL like Coco Rocha, unlike that boring, ridiculous and not-so-surprising  april cover of a very naked and pregnant Jessica Simpson for Elle US. This is how a fashion magazine cover should look like – I am very surprised that Elle could accomplish something like this, but off course it had to be the Brazilian edition. The US magazine is way too far from that -.

The Canadian model graces the cover wearing an embroidered gown by Julien MacDonald, which has caused some controversy. Coco Rocha took her facebook page to release the following statement: “As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress which I now find was photoshopped out to give the impression of me showing much more skin than I was, or am comfortable with. This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction to the entire team that they not do so. I’m extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract was ignored. I strongly believe very model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented”.

The brazilian magazine has released their own statement, claiming that “The redaction team of Elle deeply respects all professionals (models, photographers, producers and designers) who collaborate with the editions. And communicates that is in touch with the model Coco Rocha to clarify any misunderstanding regarding the published photo”.

Controversial or not, approved or not… the may cover of Elle Brasil is simply perfect. WOW! Elle Brasil hits newsstands on April 27th

Natalia Vodianova’s Controversy?

Natalia Vodianova Under Fire

“It’s better to be skinny than to be fat”

“It’s better to be skinny than to be fat”. Off course it is, so what is the big deal? What is the big problem here?

Last weekend, Vogue UK in association with Vertu hosted their very first festival: “The Vogue Festival 2012“. Gathering together some of the most important and influential people of the fashion industry for a lineup of panel discussions, focused on what it’s really like to work in fashion. A big crowd of who-is-who in this ultra elite industry, with A-Lister designers, photograhers, stylists, models and editors who came together to talk about relevant topics currently affecting the industry.
One of the big names included, the real life Fashion-Cinderella, the always stunning Natalia Vodianova, who has graced the cover of Vogue UK seven times. Per New York Magazine, Vodianova was grilled on the pressures that thin models impose on readers of fashion rags. The 30-year-old Russian mannequin and mother of three, caused quite a media riot, with some interesting and very truthful remarks: “”Come on, guys, it’s better to be skinny than to be fat… I respect my body — my body is my temple.” She also went on to tell the audience how she once went to an event three days after giving birth in Givenchy couture. Which is 100% true, so where is the problem here? She caused quite a controversy because she talks about her healthy body, and glorify her perfectly skinny figure. Some people are saying that it was very insensitive and that it could send a wrong message because of the Anorexia and wrong body image, but why is it Ok when a curvy or even overweight people make remarks about how much they love and respect their body? wouldn’t it send a wrong message towards obesity? When a plus size models says that she loves her big figure and that she eats whatever she wants and does not work out hard because she loves her curves, couldn’t it become a pro-obesity message? Then, Why are those kind of remarks always applauded?
When someone with a healthy, skinny and good-looking figure says something about it, the critics immediately attack, which does not happen when bigger figures do. Then, what are models supposed to do? Say that they wish they were fat or don’t say anything at all? are those the only options left? what kind of society is this, that does not let us say the truth about how we really feel? That does not let us be proud of our qualities? She should be applauded because is really easy to be fat, to eat whatever comes your way, but very difficult to stay healthy.
Curvy people can say whatever they want and the rest of us have to be silent, and applaud them for their bravery, but the problem here is that we should focus on being healthy, and send a right message because when something is skinny does not mean that is bad and when is bigger is good. It is an extremely complex problem to be approached in such a shallow way, there is so much more to it than just skinny and big, it is not black and white, we have to focus on being healthy, skinny or curvy but being healthy is the important part. Do not attack somebody because is skinny and loves it… In the end, like Kate Moss once said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”.
