Abbey Clancy for Love Magazine

bespokeordie — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 17:33:05 +0000

I know there is at least one friend out there that has a massive grin on his face as I reluctantly post this 1960′s throwback styled editorial featuring Abbey Clancy. Photographer Alasdair McLellan lensed the pictorial titled “A Bit of Liverpool” for the September 2010 issue of Love Magazine. The long bob with a fringe and sideways ponytail is what some men (Ahem, Mr. JDR.) dream about. There is something dark and just sexy about the “sex kitten” genre that permeates through the black and white. Maybe it is the cigarette? Maybe it is the dark eye makeup? Whatever it is, it just works.

Anja Rubik for Fendi F/W 2010

I am not the biggest fan of Fendi. Maybe it is the overabundance of Middle Eastern women wearing completely mismatched pieces or small Asian women carrying bags that are five times too large for them. But, when you combine one of my favorite fashion models in Anja Rubik with my main man Karl Lagerfeld behind the lens of a camera you get a Fendi ad campaign that even I can appreciate fresh for the Fall / Winter 2010 collection.

Alexa Chung for Vogue China

Alexa Chung is one of those people who just seems to have an ephemeral swagger. I’m not sure what it is about her look that makes you feel like her personality is shining through, but for some reason you just feel like that is the case. And, if you don’t, you should. Here is a look at a shoot of the actress with a cult-like following appropriately titled “Retro Modern” which appears in Vogue China’s July 2010 issue. Photographer Patrick Demarchelier was tapped to work his magic with the help of a cement corner and one black bar stool.

Megan Fox for Interview Magazine

Megan Fox stated that she did not like the orange-ish hue she took on in the Transformers films and that it was an emphatic requirement of Director Michael Bay. Obviously the two have had some bad media spats which all started when Fox blasted the Transformers director for relying on special effects rather than acting in the two Transformers films in an interview with “Entertainment Weekly.” Well, apparently the sexy little Fox has gone back to her pale roots in this high fashion shoot for the June/July cover of Interview Magazine. Photographed in pieces from Lanvin, Calvin Klein, Nina Ricci and others by Craig McDean, Megan dons a stern bob as she does a tango with her undressed doppelganger mannequin. (Can someone say innuendo? And, no usage of the word “doppelganger” does not lower my street cred.)

Cristina Tosio for Elle Croatia

bespokeordie — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:51:06 +0000

This has to be one of the most eye pleasing photoshoots I have seen in a very long time. Cristina Tosio is scorching hot in this shoot for Elle Croatia’s June 2010 issue titled “Castaway” shot on what appears to be a very remote location by photographer Mario Sierra. Usually this is where I would attempt a witty segue into some fashionable dialogue, but at this point in the ridiculously sexy scale it becomes a rather futile effort. Days like this, the website is so worth it. “Very nice!” (In my best Borat voice.)

Zanerobe S/S 2010 Campaign

bespokeordie — Mon, 31 May 2010 19:23:13 +0000

With a motto like “The University of Sport” Sydney, Australia based brand Zanerobe has a lot of shenanigans to live up to. It is good for them that the Leith Testoni and Jonathan Yeo headed streetwear brand’s Spring / Summer 2010 advertisement campaign does not disappoint. Beyond the playful and youthful vibe there is a healthy dose of fraternity lifestyle infused activities to not only peak your curiosity, but remind us all that life is too short. Have fun people compliments of photographer David Roemer.

Taking a break from the seemingless endless military-inspired shoots popping up in magazines all over the world we take a look at something completely different. With an upscale hotel serving as the backdrop, the sensational Hana Soukupova does a “couture on the go” themed shoot for Tatler Russia’s May 2010 issue. Captured by photographer Arthur Elgort, Hana experiences the finer things in life as she dons pieces from Valentino, Dior and Chanel Haute Couture styled by Anya Ziourova.

Vanessa Paradis for Vogue Paris

Now in its understated 2010 form, the military trend is no longer this overzealous, in your face, camouflaged khaki and green experience. Instead the detail of the cut, shape, and overall aesthetic of military-inspired pieces can be molded and paired with other up and coming seasonal trends. Vogue Paris recognizing the endless possibilities has dressed Vanessa Paradis in a sexy military meets lingerie-inspired photoshoot for their May 2010 issue. Better still, the photography comes courtesy of my man, the iconic Karl Lagerfeld.

Pharrell & Lupe x Terry Richardson Shoot

bespokeordie — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:17:44 +0000

You never know who is going to stop by Terry Richardson‘s studio and pop up on his photo diary these days. Just to give you a perspective on how completely random it has been for the notorious photographer as of late the male cast from Jersey Shore, Ben Stiller, Bar Refaeli, and Shaun White have all made an appearance in front of his lens in recent months. Next up, the one and only Pharrell Williams and Lupe Fiasco. Pay close attention and you will note that Mr. Williams is rock’n what appears to be a variant of a Kabbalah Red String Evil Eye Bracelet. I am not a follower of Kabbalah, but being Middle Eastern I have been known to wear an evil eye bracelet from time to time. What am I alluding to you say? Pharrell jacked my style. That’s right, I said it.
