I recently came across one of Alessandro’s fashion editorials in the latest edition of Ausralian Russh Magazine and was enthralled by his sensitivity to light and to the strength of the model he is shooting not the clothes. Russino has a way of blurring the lines between street-coincidental style and high fashion quality. I love it. Check out his portfolios here. Enjoy!

Model Marie Helvins’ cover for Vogue 1975 is over thirty years old but has timless-ness about it that I am aesthetically drawn to. This cover could well be the next cover to grace our shelves! Ah! The evolution of the ever rolling fashion wheel? Shot by David Bailey and Edited back then by Beatrix Miller, the issue was themed Who Wore What Where and had Prince Charles appointed ‘Best shaggy royal’ ….Well I guess some things DO change.
No matter what’s going on in the world, fashion somehow always swings back to the extremes. This season, it’s maximalism—big hair, big money, big dresses—and Argentine photographer Sebastian Faena spared no excess to shoot the finest girls of the moment in all the gilt and glam. For V53 Summer 08, Jessica Stam, Lily Donaldson, and Doutzen Kroes were flown down to Miami and dressed in the most lavish threads around. The result is a pure, unadulterated, over-the-top, so-bad-it’s-good glamour— era of the ’90s supermodels. I just love this picture!!!
