V #48 : Christy Turlington and Raquel Zimmermann by Inez & Vinoodh

[OriginalSin]

The two pictures don't look all that different. I expected her to be a lot more done up in the "styled" one.

Doutzen looks amazing, although I agree-the second one isn't that styled up. But nevertheless, she looks beautiful.

This is a great concept and Inez & Vinoodh carried it out so well. I like all of them so far!

V48 PREVIEW: INEZ & VINOODH AND CAROLINA IRVING
The style editor and designer sits for beauty portraits that are simply two of a kind

Alongside the top models of the moment, Inez and Vinoodh shot some of the most beautiful and intriguing women around town. Here's style editor Carolina Irving, shot once sans makeup, and once again, after the team of Joe McKenna, Luigi Murenu, and Tom Pecheux performed their transformation. Pretty dramatic. But as witnessed in these two portraits, no amount of hair or makeup can obscure Ms. Irving's piercing stare. No way, no how.

she`s ugly but its much much more interesting to observe her face than Doutzen`s barbie- fastfood face and i think she`s very in Inez taste.
i adore when Inez and Vinoodh shot moving faces: different, non-standart, weird. so i think its a good idea to shot not only models

Happy 45th Mr. Valentino!

WE BAKE A CAKE FOR THE LEGENDARY DESIGNER WHO DEFINED TIMELESSNESS BY STICKING TO HIS TASTES

The designer Valentino Clemente Ludovico Garavani once told The New Yorker, “There are many things you have to do in life, but you cannot ignore the roses. When they demand to be seen, one simply has no choice but to go to them.” He was speaking about the blooming fields of Wideville, his 300-acre estate outside of Paris that stars a chateau surrounded by a moat. But consider Valentino’s last forty-five years of fashion, an anniversary he celebrates this year with much fanfare, and he could have been speaking about the women he dresses as well as the roses. “I like them both,” he says.

The legend goes that Valentino was born in Voghera, a small town south of Milan. He arrived in Paris when he was 18 and worked for the designer Jean Dessès and then Guy Laroche. He moved to Rome during its starry la dolce vita years and opened his atelier in 1959 at the foot of the Spanish Steps. He believes that the successes to come were impossible even to dream of in those early days. “At that time, fashion wasn’t so huge, so international and popular like today,” he says. “Fashion was for rich people. It was a niche business. My development as a designer, as a business, was not something that one could even imagine.” Mark Jacobs

[nanker_phledge]

I find the Carolina Irving portraits to be the most captivating ones, she has that kind of memorable but strange beauty that appeals to me.I'm really impatient to discover the rest of the non-models.
