Honey, There's a Reason Kate Moss is Still Ne Plus Ultra!

Kate Moss, Daria Werbowy and Lara Stone all have separate covers of the September 2012 cover of Paris Vogue

All were shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, all wearing the same Dolce & Gabbana dress, red lip and slicked back hair



But Kate proves why, at 38, she still commands the room (and the big bucks!)

Stella McCartney's Spring Ad Tarts it Up

Waking up to large snowflakes lazily falling outside my window, it's funny to be writing about Spring and warm, sunny citrus, but here goes.

In this Stella McCartney ad, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, model Malgosia Bela is part billboard for citrus growers of America, part rockin' the famous Tropicana tunic. 


Which brings me to my point of the post: something has happened here, some part of the equation of this ad has made that a-line sheath go from sad sack cover up, to a 70's louche, hot mom feel. The kinda mom that smells of cocoa butter and YSL Opium and flirts with your friends when you bring them back home to your pool after school. 


Is it the lighting or does Malgosia fill the dress out better than Sasha Pivovarova did on the runway? Or is it that Malgosia is 33 and it takes a mature, confident sexuality to override the cuteness of the oranges and limes?


Whatever the sex factor is here, it's working. That dress will sell out, mark my words.
