Emmanuelle Alt 1st Vogue Paris. Amazonian princess, Gisele in sultry Italian Dolce & Gabbana

Emmanuelle Alt, noted ex fashion stylist turned Editor-in-Chief first Vogue Paris April issue cover. Interesting choice of seasoned supermodel Gisele Bundchen in a sexy and sultry Dolce & Gabbana lacey Spring 2011 collection. Taking the helm in replacement of Carine Roitfeld as Vogue Paris new Editor-in-chief, shot by Inez and Vinoodh in St. Barth’s with minimum make up and barely accessories, knowing Emmanuelle Alt minimalist-sleek-all-black personal style, the result is quite unexpected, far from everybody would imagine Emmanuelle first cover shot would be.

But, let us keep in mind that Gisele is always a safe choice and Dolce & Gabbana had really outdone themselves for Spring 2011 collection and taking the fashion world by storm, again. Easily proven as 2 more international Vogue (Spain & Germany) were putting the SAME white lace dress on their beautiful model Constance Jablonsk and Britt Maren respectively.

What say you?

Lara Stone.

She's been doing the model rounds for ten years, since she was 15, but says that even back when she was 16 and in Paris, drugs weren't a problem. "I'd already tried everything in Holland. Anyway, I never wanted to be that model on drugs, the sort who gives head for a line of coke."

She does, however, have a weak spot for food.
"If I could have the discipline to be super-skinny, I would be. I think of dieting, then I eat pizza. I'm a woman, and every woman wants to be skinnier — unfortunately."

But she doesn't mind going topless all the time for magazines.
"Everyone's seen them.  My girlfriends love them — they play with them!"

She's concerned about her future — she doesn't want to act or design.
"I lie in bed at night and worry about what comes next. I'm not sure I have any other talents."

And thinks she has men trouble.
"Men don't like me. I haven't been on a date for six months. I've just started a club with a girlfriend called the We Hate Men But We Can't Be Gay Club."

But she likes to be mean to men.
"I figure out what they hate most, and then I do lots and lots of that."

If she doesn't wear a designer, it may be because she hates them.
"I shouldn't be wearing these shoes. Because I hate the designer and never wear people I hate."

And don't get in her way at a show — one Belgian model now knows that.
"I kept saying 'Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,' because I had to get to the catwalk, but she just kept posing. So I pushed her. It was only a few stairs."

Lara Stone in Vogue UK December 09. Love her even more!!
"Men don't like me. I haven't been on a date for six months. I've just started a club with a girlfriend called the We Hate Men But We Can't Be Gay Club."  <--- I can relate to that. =)

Lara Stone, French Vogue

Lara Stone posing for French Vogue, October issue as a black girl. Instead of using the real black supermodel heavyweight such as, Naomi Campbell, Liya Kebede, Sesilee Lopez, Chanel Iman, Arlenis Sosa or Jordan Dunn, Carine Roitfeld decided to use Lara Stone instead and painting her head to toe in black. Photographed by the world known photographer Steven Klein.

What do you think? Art..or just plain offensive?  * I personally think, there are nothing wrong with it.  Racist argument is so yesteryear. I don't think black people simply get offended by these pictures after all. 

P.s: Lara Stone is a super-supermodel. The All Lara Stone February issue by Vogue just proving that.

If anyone could pull this look of on the red carpet, she has to be Sienna Miller. Spotted in this fab suits on the Tokyo premier of G.I Joe The Rise of The Cobra.

Inspirational

Those who have been following this blog know exactly my style. In case you guys are wondering where did I get my fashion sense from, here it is. Spotted in Paris fashion week recently. Male model after runway job. Loose gray cardigan over a fitted simple tank top -half on. Skinny black jeans and the same shade goes for the shoes. Giving the illusion of longer legs. Plus the shiny silver studded belt. This pictures simply remind me why I'm so obsessed with fashion.

AND THE WINNER IS........ Vman Model Search

Surprise. Yes. It`s a TIE. Between CJ and Jake. They are both winners. *LITERALLY. Well, looks like you guys guess it right. Congratulations to both and cant wait for them to be on the cover of Vman Spring Issue on sale Feb 19th.

ABOUT CJ
I was born to two English parents living in Alexandria, Virginia, which makes me a dual citizen. I go to high school in Alexandria.

QUESTIONS FOR CJ

What do you like to do in your free time?
I love to just kick back and watch a good soccer match or play in one for my school team. I also enjoy just hanging out with my friends and doing normal stuff like going to parties or staying in and watching a good movie.

How would you describe your personal style?
Pretty casual. Most of the time you’ll catch me in a pair of sweats and a T-shirt. However, I like dressing up every once in awhile.

What are your five favorite songs on your iPod right now?
“Such Great Heights” by the Postal Service, “Bryn” by Vampire Weekend, “Naïve” by the Kooks, “Time to Pretend” by MGMT, and “Wonderwall” by Oasis.

Who is your greatest hero?
Apart from my mum and dad, my greatest hero has got to be Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a great footballer and I love that when whole stadiums are giving him stick he just mans up, and it fuels him to play better. Plus he’s just a cool guy and a real trendsetter.

What was your favorite part of the photo shoot?
It’s hard to label just one part as my favorite, but the haircut was pretty cool, and it was also really great working with such an amazing crew and trying on all the clothing.

Why do you want to be a model?
I hadn't really thought of being a model until someone told me that I would be great for it. Now though, I would love to be a model because I really can't think of anything cooler than seeing yourself on billboards, shopping bags, and magazines. The traveling and photo shoots with beautiful girls factors into the equation as well.

ABOUT JAKE
I’m 17 years old and I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. I’m finishing up high school. I have one brother and four sisters. My house is like a rave—loud, with tons of energy. I LOVE IT!

QUESTIONS FOR JAKE

What do you like to do in your free time?
Play basketball, work out, hang with my friends and family, make people laugh, pop popcorn, and terrorize my brother Jackson.

How would you describe your personal style?
Vintage mixed with tailored. A great pair of perfectly distressed jeans with my favorite tee and an amazing sweater.

What are your five favorite songs on your iPod right now?
I love music and my iPod is full of songs that remind me of different points in my life. The most recent was Thanksgiving with a giant crazy family all trying to learn the single ladies dance for our annual family competition. Last year it was a game of horse in the snow. Others include “Love Story,” “One Is the Loneliest Number,” “Dirty Diana,” “Whatever You Like,” and anything Coldplay.

Who is your greatest hero?
My dad. The man has worked like a horse to make sure all six of us have a great life. He inspires me to care about the people that matter, stay level-headed, and work to my fullest potential. I love him.

What was your favorite part of the photo shoot?
Working with everyone was an amazing experience. They were all so professional, engaging, and fun. I learned so much.

Why do you want to be a model?
The opportunity to meet creative and talented people, and what the experience could bring, as well as the travel and the chance to jump into an amazing designer suit purely for the fun.

Do you guys agree with the result?? I am. It tells that if you have to choose between 2 really good things, why choose? Just have `em both? *LOL. That`s what I always do when I go shop and it makes me broke. -it`s not a good thing y`all. Btw, I`m flying to somewhere warm -Los Angeles tomorrow for Christmas and New Year. Really excited to check out the shop and surely I`m gonna enjoy myself there. Have fun.
