Kirsten Dunst for V Magazine

bespokeordie — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:52:55 +0000

When it comes to Kirsten Dunst I don’t exactly know how to feel. Being dressed in Rodarte, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Burberry and more and then shot by the great Mario Testino would make nearly any woman look sexy. But, the question remains. Is she or isn’t she? V Magazinetoys with your perceptions of reality in an article titled “The Art of Being Kirsten Dunst” in their latest and greatest Issue #64. With a vintage twist these images make you question whether or not you would walk by Kirsten Dunst if she weren’t a celebrity and hit on her or simply just keep walking. For me, the jury is still out.

Vogue “Military Issue” Editorial

One of the trends that I been following for a while has been the growing understated military-inspired clothing and accessories that have been popping up more and more since late last year. The glamour has died out, thankfully, from camouflage and the focus has turned to where it should have been all along, on cut, quality, and design. For their March 2010 issue, Vogue US drops this “Military Issue” editorial featuring brands like Chloe, Burberry Prorsum, Balmain, Gucci and more photographed by the always fantastic Mario Testino. If you want to see runway offerings of a similar style from Rag & Bone, Balmain, Phi, and Jean Paul Gaultier jump over to a post I brought you back in October 2009 titled “Military Inspired is Back for Spring 2010.”

Natalie Portman for V Magazine

The girl is a talented and successful actress, is getting a degree from Harvard, and she looks this good? I am convinced that Natalie Portman has sold her soul to the devil. Famed photographer Mario Testino shot Miss Portman in London for the November/December 2009 V Magazine Issue #62. Styled by Claire Richardson you are presented here with a preview of the three cover shots in addition to the full editorial spread that all highlight a ompadour hairstyle and a super sexy androgynous look. The actress talked to the magazine about her first-ever sex scene in the upcoming war drama, “Brothers,” where she’s the loyal wife of a marine, played by Tobey Maguire. Also in the issue, which hits newsstands today, Gisele Bündchen spoke to Testino about Rio, the subject of his latest book, and Hedi Slimane shot a 10-page “rock couture” feature with Natalia Vodianova. I just want you all to know that I called “dibs” first.

For those of you who follow the site’s twitter feed, you knew this post was coming. So it seems that the rumors were true and Burberry has broken from their tradition of using models and jumped on board the celebrity train. Nineteen year-old actress Emma Watson was chosen to be the Fall 2009 face of Burberry. (Insert Harry Potter joke here.) The campaign was shot by Mario Testino in central London with a view of the River Thames and the results are typical for him, sexy! Mario if you are out there in the World Wide Web and you ever come across this I will gladly hold the reflective screen any time, I’m tall, and can promise I will be focused on each shot. Real focused.

V Magazine Swimsuit Issue

Talk about hotness. V Magazine decides to take six supermodels, get photographer Mario Testino behind the lens, and then put out their first ever swimsuit issue. How could the results not be spectacular? Stephen Gan the Editor in Chief of V Magazine gave the fashion middle finger to the Sports Illustrated equivalent if you ask me. It has become too commercial and placid anyway. Claudia Schiffer, Kate Moss, Gisele Bundchen, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Daria Werbowy round out the “super” part of the cast and are supported by Isabeli Fontana, Doutzen Kroes, Raquel Zimmermann, Carmen Kass, Frankie Ryder, and Edita Vikeviciute to name a few. The V59 issue is on stands now and features bright, bold colors on its multiple available covers.
