I don’t care what anyone says, I love Miley. I think she has really come into her own and become a bold, brave young woman and I for one cannot wait to hear what she has been working tirelessly in the studio on. Here she is on ELLE UK, making this her first cover for a major UK publication. However, with that said I am not a huge fan of it. I do love the styling but the armpits are way to much of a focal point for my taste.
For the 10 page spread shot at MILK Studios in Hollywood Miley is decked out in looks from Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Saint Laurent and Simone Rocha and more all while rocking her signature mohawk.
In the article Miley finally dishes on where her relationship stands with fiance Liam Hemsworth:
“We have a house together and dogs, it just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed. But we keep our relationship low-key and don’t talk about it anymore.”
“We were too nice to the world and gave them too much insight — into my life and my puppies and my house -– and I just don’t feel they get that privilege any more. Like on my Twitter, I’m much more … not conservative, but you don’t see a picture of my dogs. You don’t get that personal stuff anymore.”

- Harper’s Bazaar UK
- June 2013
- ‘There’s Something About Carey’
- Model: Carey Mulligan
- Photographer: Tom Allen
- Stylist: Cathy Kasterine
For May new stands Carey covered American Vogue and now for June news stands here she is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar UK looking as stunningly ethereal as ever. The faded out pastel colours, blonde wispy hair, delicate pink flowers and structured girlie as can be Prada number all contribute to what may be one of my favourite Harper’s Bazaar covers of the year.
In the the inside editorial Carey dons pieces from the likes of Fendi, Bottega Veneta and Erdem as well as her husbands Hunter wellies.
In the issue hitting news stands today, Carey discusses playing Daisy, why she chose Prada on her wedding day and her prized note from Daniel Day-Lewis.
On playing Daisy in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’:
“Daisy was difficult to work out, but so fun to play… Baz also gave me about seven biographies of Zelda [Fitzgerald] and a stack of love letters from Ginevra [King]. You can so easily see where Fitzgerald has taken Daisy from. Just the way Zelda and Ginevra wrote – there were lines we stole for the script.”
On why she chose to marry in a Prada wedding dress:
“I have worn a lot of Prada and always loved their clothes. I always felt very comfortable. They were the first designer house that ever lent me anything; I wore Prada to the Oscars. The people who work there are so lovely and really just non-scary fashion people.”
On Daniel Day-Lewis:
“He wrote me this beautiful handwritten note a couple of weeks afterwards just saying how nice it was to meet me and that he’d like An Education. His penmanship was beautiful. The note was the most beautiful thing. If my house was burning down I would save that. It is so precious.”
For a little more Carey make sure to check out the latest trailer for ‘The Great Gatsby’ featuring Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful” for the motion picture soundtrack.
- Fashion Magazine
- May 2013
- Model: Isla Fisher
- Photographer: Chris Nicholls
- Stylist: Zein Esmail
Star of the much anticipated ‘The Great Gatsby’, 37 year old actress Isla Fisher covers Fashion Magazine’s May 2013 issue in a vibrant turquoise Burberry Prorsum dress while showcasing her signature flowing red locks. For the rest of the studio backdropped images Isla dons some stunning pieces such as a figure hugging Peter Pilotto dress and a deep blue Hervé Léger by Max Azria jacket.
Side note: is anyone feeling a Little Mermaid vibe from the cover?
In the accompanying article Isla dishes on meeting Goldie Hawn, working with family and what her and husband Sacha Baron Cohen find funny.
On Meeting her idol Goldie Hawn:
“Goldie Hawn is my hero, I just think she is incredibly funny and I love her in every movie. I can’t help it. I just think she is fabulous.. It wasn’t a conversation, it was on a dance floor and she was dancing next to me so I saddled up to her doing some moves pretending it was just a natural progression in my dance moves and I kind of shimmied my shoulders at her for a smile and then shimmied away.”
On working with family members:
“I recently wrote a script with my mom—a thriller—just for fun because I enjoy writing so much. It has involved a lot of gin and tonic, a lot of giggling, a lot of late night emailing back and forth. I highly recommend actually doing something creative with a family member. When you get to know someone creatively you get to know a whole other side to them.”
On what her and her husband find funny:
“Subverting the truth is the funniest thing of all. We laugh about that all the time. It works best when you hit at something that is happening in the world and represent it in a surprising way. Lena Dunham is brilliant at it.”
- Flare
- May 2013
- Model: Christina Hendricks
- Photographer: Max Abadian
- Stylist: Lawren Sample
In honor of one of my favourite shows, here is the stunning Christina Hendricks on the cover of the May issue of Canada’s Flare Magazine making this her second cover for the publication. Dressed in a vibrant canary yellow dress from Stella McCartney, Christina gives her best come hither gaze that she has become known for on HBO’s Mad Men.
For the accompanying editorial shoot Christina dons garments from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney and more including one of her favourites, L’Wren Scott. Overall the looks had a very 50s, 60s italian seaside vibe that fit very well with Christina’s playful, retro sex appeal and the Beverly Hills home that surrounded her.
Inside the issue Christina talks rejection, paparazzi and starring in Ryan Goslings new film:
On being rejected in the industry:
“I’ve been to a million auditions and have been rejected a million times, so it’s something that I’m used to. You’re either right for it or you’re not right for it. You could leave thinking you had the best audition in the world and they say you don’t look like the person I imagined.”
On Paparazzi:
“I’m not out doing crazy things! I’m just not that famous, to be honest. I get to live a very normal life. I don’t have a situation like Jennifer Aniston, where I have people camped outside my house. I can take the garbage out and walk down the street and have ramen and it’s fine.”
On starring in Ryan Goslings new film ‘How To Catch A Monster’:
“Talk about feeling intimidated. Ryan called me and asked me if I was interested in doing this film and I said: ‘One, of course, yes, and two, why me? And three, I don’t want to disappoint you.’ He’s been fantastic, involving me artistically and letting me be along the road of casting and costume design. I’ve seen story boards and imagery and I’ve heard music. It’s the largest role I’ve ever had, so this is one I’m definitely aware of my anxiety about.”

- Marie Claire UK
- May 2013
- Model: Keira Knightley
- Photographer: Nathaniel Goldberg
Every since I saw her in Pirates of the Caribbean I loved Keira. I love her style, I love her attitude, I love her aristocratic look - I love her.
Moving on, here she is on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire UK wearing a stunning red Valentino gown and rocking a deep smokey eye.
For the accompanying editorial Keira wears an array of garments from the likes of Gucci, Tom Ford, Valentino, Balenciaga and of course, Chanel.
In the issue on newsstands now, Keira discusses the definition of success, coping with fame and getting engaged to Klaxons keyboard player James Righton.
On how she defines success:
“I’m not sure if I can define success. I think if I get to the end of my life having hurt as few people as possible, making sure the people who mean the most to me know they have been loved, I will be happy. Success in work, whatever work, will come and go.”
On coping with fame in Hollywood:
The machine that allows you to make movies, the trade-off [requires] you to sell it. Selling it means making yourself a public figure. You can’t cultivate the mystery. My problem is I like mystery
On her upcoming wedding to James Righton:
“I could have six weddings. God, that would be expensive. We’ve not big-wedding types. I don’t need to have all that. I’m just trying to enjoy the engagement bit. My parents are together after 40 years. The fights are there, but they love each other. It’s not like the first three months, the frost two years, whatever it is, but I think it gets more interesting, or I hope so.”
The images used for this issue were actually originally published in the March 2013 issue of Marie Claire US. So for a behind the scenes look at the cover shoot and some more from Keira make sure to check out the video below:
- Elle UK
- April 2013
- Model: Rihanna
- Photographer: Mariano Vivanco
- Stylist: Anne-Marie Curtis
For their April issue, on newsstands now, Elle UK has nabbed Barbadian beauty Rihanna to grace their cover and give us some insight into her much talked about private life.
For the dual covers RiRi wore black River Island skirts; one with a Louis Vuitton top featuring their ever popular chequered print and the other with a Prada stole over a Louis Vuitton striped bra. In the inside editorial made up of simple studio images, Rihanna dons monochromatic looks comprised of garments from the likes of Maison Martin Margiela, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy and more.
In the accompanying article RiRi discusses her gun tattoo, Instagram, her new collection with River Island and her now infamous relationship with boyfriend Chris Brown:
On why she got her gun tattoo and telling the truth:
“Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No. That’s when I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim. That’s why I’m posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself. I’ve got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s*** by being dishonest?”
On loving posting pictures of herself and her life on Instagram:
“Well I instagram everything about my life, whether it’s smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse – how crazy, I know! – or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be Chris.”
On her mum disapproving of her naked pictures on Instagram:
“I’m not afraid of any person in this world but her. I’m terrified of her! She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two naked pictures Melissa [her best friend] put up on Instagram – a sneak-peek from a photo book she’s making about me. My mom, she went crazy on me. I was like embarrassed. I felt like I got my ass whupped in front of my class in school! She said, ‘This was like a private moment and you’re just parading this around.” She humbled the f*** out of me.”
On her love of high street fashion and her new collection for River Island:
“High-street shops pay more attention to the kids on the street than to the runways, so in a way I like to mix both. I love a high-end bag or jacket with a simple dress. I just thought, I’m going to make something for everybody – every personality, every body type.”
On wanting a great friendship with Chris Brown above all else:
“…right now that’s just what we want, a great friendship that’s unbreakable. Now that we’re adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that.”
On Chris Brown being the person she loves:
“Stay [new single] is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever. You don’t have that feeling with everybody so when you have it you don’t want to let go of it. I would definitely say that he [Chris Brown] is the one I have that kind of relationship with.”

- Flare
- April 2013
- Model: Diane Kruger
- Photographer: Autumn de Wilde
- Stylist: Erin Walsh
Actress and style icon Diane Kruger graces the very unapologetically girlie cover of the latest issue of Canadian fashion magazine Flare (on newstands now!). On the cover the blonde haired beauty is styled in a red Bottega Veneta Spring 2013 dress (which was also worn by Rachel Weisz and Kerry Washington) with tri-colour Christian Louboutin pumps. I am excited to hear that the premiere of her latest flick ‘The Host’ is coming up on March 29th - not necessarily because I am gunning to see the film but rather because we will be treated to more of Diane’s signature red carpet style.
Oozing of retro charm, Diane gets in touch with her playful side in the studio images accompanying the editoral while donning looks from Bottega Veneta, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Rochas and of course, Chanel.
In the article Diane discusses her buddy Karl, her beau Joshua, her past and current roles and her love of Twilight.
On her friendship with designer Karl Lagerfeld:
“I’ve known him since I move to Pars when I was 16. He’s very kind and can be very funny and ironic and silly. In difficult moments in my life when I don’t really know who to talk to, I sort of drop by his studio and he knows me well enough to pick up on weird things. He really is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.”
On Joshua Jackson’s career input:
“Nobody knows me better than he does. He knows exactly when I’m faking it and when I’m being sincere.”
On fighting for her role in Inglourious Basterds:
“Every once in a while there comes a part where you feel like it was written for you. And it wasn’t. But I felt like I really cold bring something to it.”
On her character in The Host:
“She’s so complex. She has that Stepford Wife-y kind of niceness yet there is so much more underlying there: rage and anger.”
On being a fan of Twilight:
“I actually happen to be a big Twilight fan, which I’m not embarrassed to say. It sort of appeals to my inner teenage girl.”

- ELLE US
- March 2013
- Model: Taylor Swift
- Photographer: Carter Smith
- Stylist: Joe Zee
Since her split with the floppy haired One Direction boy bander, Harry Styles, Swift has been making some very sultry red carpet appearances. Slowly but surely the hemlines are creeping upwards and she is baring more and more cleavage. It would seem like she is finally starting to embrace her early twenties and tall thin frame and wear some garments that properly show it off and I could not be more thrilled for her.
Joe Zee has now taken her from sultry to stylish in her new editorial spread for the March 2013 issue of ELLE US. Styling her in the likes of Louis Vuitton, Proenza Schouler, Burberry, Saint Laurent and Oscar de la Renta. My two favourite looks were the all pink, ultra girlie Oscar de la Renta outfit and the Saint Laurent skinnies and beaded cape combo. I love seeing her in riskier choices, she is a beautiful girl and has a great shape and height to get away with a lot of really great looks. Here is hoping she takes some queues from Mr. Zee’s styling and keeps it up.
In the accompanying article Swift discusses her insecurity, ex-boyfriends, rumours and the on-going speculation of whom her songs are about.
On her insecurity:
“Middle school was what programmed me to be semi-insecure, like, all of the time. I didn’t fit in….I’d stand on the outside of the circle but I was never really in. That’s when I started to realize there’s this thing called rejection.”
On her ex-boyfriends:
“I don’t think I’ve ever yelled at an ex-boyfriend. Ever. I’m not a yeller. I’m not a fit thrower. If something is done, it’s done.”
On rumours:
“I’m sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I’m chasing somebody who doesn’t like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me. They’re like “Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys. I never chase boys. They don’t like it!”
On the speculation of whom her songs are about:
“To me it’s just writing songs the way I always have. It’s me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn’t understand, writing a song, and understanding it better. If people want to dissect the lyrics, that’s their right, but it’s all coming from the exact same place as where I started. It’s just something I do to feel better.”

- ELLE UK
- February 2013
- Model: Scarlett Johansson
- Photographer: Rankin
- Stylist: Anne-Marie Curtis
ScarJo landed the cover of ELLE UK this month and manages to bring her sexy ‘A’ game back for the cover in which she dons a Victoria Beckham Spring 2013 dress and Manolo Blahnik for Victoria Beckham peep-toe booties
The editorial, shot against only a simple studio backdrop at MILK Studios in NYC , showcases the carefree, tousle haired bombshell in Spring 2013 pieces from the likes of Tom Ford, Jonathan Saunders and Burberry Prorsum. I definitely like the under styled, simple looks that were pulled together which enabled Scarlett’s beauty to be the main focus.
In the accompanying article Scarlett dishes on her former marriage to Ryan Reynolds, kids and her sex symbol status:
On her former marriage to Ryan Reynolds:
“I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually. But it is different. It’s hard to put into words. To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn’t mean you have to be married… I never think about marriage. Is that weird? The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me, ‘Would I get married again?’”
On having kids:
“It’s really not important to me. It has no relevance to me right now. I’m not having kids anytime soon, I’m in a nice relationship, I’m working a lot, and, like I said, it’s not important to me.”
On her sex symbol status:
“I think any woman who is curvy and wears a gown to an event is, like, super sexualized. I mean, at the time I was 18, 19. I was young. I’ve always been curvy. It runs in the family. Throw on an evening frock and it’s like all of a sudden you have boobs and everyone is like: ‘bombshell!’ Instantly it was: ‘The new Marilyn [Monroe].’”

- i-D Magazine
- Pre-Spring 2013
- Model: Kate Moss
- Photographer: Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi
- Stylist: Charlotte Stockdale
Proving yet again that she can do no wrong and that she is most likely perfection personified, Kate Moss gifts us with four covers for the latest issue of i-D. The special issue celebrates working with the living legend for over 20 years and also gives us the ‘A-Z of Now’ . Each cover oozes glamour and embraces her flower child image and as Daniele and Iango said, ”her fragility, innocence and purity,” all while donning pieces from spring/summer collections by the likes of Dior, Prada, Balenciaga and more.
On the collaboration of Kate and i-D, Editor-In-Chief, Creative Director and Publisher Terry Jones had this to say:
“Kate first featured on the cover of i-D in 1993. Little did we know that this impish imperfect beauty would end up an international superstar and on more i-D covers than any other! Kate’s feline, feminine fragility humanises her beauty and enables photographers and stylists to draw out her character and soul.”
Below are some images from the accompanying editorial:
So here is to 13 appearances on the cover of i-D and many more to come. Make sure to visit i-donline.com for more as well as for the Kate archives.
- Vogue UK
- March 2013
- Model: Cara Delevingne
- Photographer: Mario Testino
From strutting the Victoria’s Secret runway, Burberry campaigns, a pretty massive Twitter following, growing mainstream popularity and now her first Vogue UK cover the goofy 20 year old has become a force to be reckoned with.
If the vibrant, high contrast cover is any indication of what is to be expected from the accompanying editorial than I am pretty excited. Cara has definitely grown on me over the past year and won me over with her colourful personality, carefree attitude and versatility.
- ELLE UK
- March 2013
- Model: Barbara Palvin
- Photographer: Jem Mitchell
- Stylist: Anne-Marie Curtis
I have a major girl crush on Barbara so I obviously could not resist these stunning studio images of the hungarian beauty in which she dons garments from the likes of Dior, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Paul Smith and more.
- Elle UK
- March 2013
- Model: Victoria Beckham
- Photographer: Carter Smith
Elle UK has gone through a redesign and I am still unsure as to how I feel about it. The first cover produced with this ‘new look’ seems to have taken some graphic queues from the 90’s, with that said I am interested to see what the next few covers from the publication look like.
On the cover she dons Burberry Prorsum and although I love her wispy light locks I am not sure how I feel about the cover. I mean, what is going on with that jacket? Is it giving the illusion that she has 3 arms or is that just me?
In the seductive spread she wears her own designs alongside Lanvin, Hussein Chalayan, Miu Miu and Manolo Blahnik, while in the accompanying article she discusses her work ethic, running her business, a new chapter in her family, the fashion world and more.
On having a strong work ethic:
“It was never my intention to prove anybody wrong. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I don’t have to work, I need to work. All these people [her fellow fashion designers], they’ve not just been given anything. They’ve worked hard. And I’ve never been given anything either. But I have a good work ethic; David has an incredible work ethic. I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.”
On why she feels a sense of belonging in the fashion world:
“When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me. And when I go out with David and people take pictures I think, “They’re here to take David’s picture.”
On running a business:
“You’ve got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that’s difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can’t hand over. But I’m trying to do that more. It’s hard because I have such a specific vision.”
on 2013 being a new chapter in the Beckham family’s lives:
“Now David has finished playing for LA Galaxy and we are starting a new chapter in our lives; as a family we are all very excited about what lies ahead for 2013.”
On being handed a plate of yorkshire puddings to take home to her children:
“The kids are going to LOVE me when I walk in with these. You know what they say to me, because I’m not the best cook, although I try really hard? They always say to me, “Mummy, we know that the main ingredient in what you make is love.”’
- W Magazine
- February 2013
- Model: Emma Stone
- Photographer: Juergen Teller
- Stylist: Zoe Bedeux
In my completely unbiased, completely not obsessed opinion, I love this. Okay, maybe I am not completely unbiased. For public appearances and editorials, Emma Stone always looks fashion forward and put together, sure she may make a silly face here and there, but overall she is never seen missing a beat. Needless to say I love this gritty turn into more of a rough, stripped down 90’s aesthetic.
For her February ‘Best Performance’ issue cover she dons pieces from Calvin Klein, Alexander McQueen and Balmain all the while looking unapologetically raw.
In the accompanying article Emma discusses staying serious in dramas, Ben Stiller and what movie makes her cry:
On whether it’s difficult to stay serious in dramas:
“In real life, sometimes it’s uncomfortable for me not to go for the joke. I’ve been looking at that in myself lately. Often, joking for me is a way of diffusing the awkwardness of a situation, so it’s kind of exhilarating to be a part of projects where there’s nothing funny or lighthearted.”
On the reaction to her Oscar presentation last year with Ben Stiller:
“Thanks. Though a lot of people thought it was something else: When I came offstage, they were saying, “You were so drunk!” And I wasn’t. Not until after… ”
On what movie made her cry:
“The end of City Lights makes me cry every time I see it—when Charlie Chaplin walks by the shop window and the once blind girl brings him a flower and pins it to his lapel. She’s always thought that he was a millionaire, but he was really a tramp. She feels his hand and says, “You?” And he nods. He says, “You can see now?” And she says, “Yes, I can see now.” They cut back to his face, and he lights up like you’ve never seen. That last line—“Yes, I can see now”—has so many meanings. It’s echoed in every great romantic movie since then and in every great moment of life. ”
