September is the January of Fashion

We live for September of any year! That is when the fashion glossies produce the mags in BIBLE SIZE! I die and live at the same time! Following the world and the lives of the beautiful, I realized the trailer for US Vogue's new documentary "The September Issue" came out. For you lovers who don't know which September issue they are filming, it is September 2007 with Sienna Miller on the cover. One of my favorite Septembers ever! Check the HD Trailer!

No No, it wasn't Beverly Johnson, it was Donyale Luna.

So a lot of people, even me, have been faked out with the idea that the first black model on the cover of Vogue was Beverly Johnson, well, my good people, it was actually Donyale Luna to be on the cover of Vogue, Vogue UK to be exact. So in all actuality, Beverly Johnson was the first black model to be on the cover of US Vogue, not just any Vogue. Just saying.

Speaking Volumes?

Is this speaking to you?

Washed-out Fashion Industry?

So went to P.F. Changs with some Fashionably Chic Friends (FCFs) and I was talking to one of them about whether or not this industry is racist. I mean, DUH! It is, but not as much as it used to be as we think about it, but with the anticipation of Vogue Noir, the other Vogues are taking notice to our ethnic models, particularly Arlenis (who is drop dead gorgeous, look @ the pics), Jourdan, and Channel. In July 08 issue of US Vogue, the three "it" ethnic girls all discuss whether or not this fashion industry is racist, and all took their editorial photos with Annie Leibovitz.

The Color of Noir.

Ladies and Gentlemen! If you don't know: For the July 2008 Issue of Vogue Italia, there will be featuring only NON-WHITE MODELS! That means Channel dust off the pumps; Alek use extra body gloss, and Iman just be Iman, because you guys are taking over the magazine! Thanks to our friend in our head, Steven Miesel, he heard an upcoming top model's rant of their are more than white in London! (Thanks Jourdan Dunn). So far there have been a few confirms, and so far it looks like Jourdan Dunn is going to grace the cover! However, I find it a bit hypocritical when you go years rarely putting black models on covers and editorials, but you are going to use 30 black models in one issue, and the next issue go back to ZERO. Where is the diversity in that, Franca Sozzani?

Claudia Schiffer for Vogue Germany: June 2K8



I must admit, this is one awesome issue of Vogue Germany June 2K8, with everything shot by the Tres fab, Mario Testino! I personally dub it the SEX issue! There are a few of my favorites in this issue, such as Catherine McNeil, the same girl, not even three months ago, people were turning their back on her! Now look @ her! The face of DIOR, and covergirl for Numero, and other HIGH MODA magazines! Everyone else in the issue are just okay, but OMG Cat! Inhibited aren't we?



Random thought: Cat has a nipple piercing. When did THAT happen?
