After shooting past campaigns on private jets, chauffeured cars and yachts around the globe, the fall campaign was shot in New York City to reflect the urban nature of the season. Mario Testino photographed Kass and Mills entering and leaving a Broadway theater. “Michael is an avid fan of the theater and has been attending Broadway shows since the tender age of five,” said a spokesman, who added the media spend is flat compared to last year. The ads will break in the August issues of American, British, Russian and Italian Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and W.

Farrah Fawcett RIP

Image
American Vogue July 1978 Cover Photographer: Patrick Demarchelier Makeup: Way Bandy Hair: Garren Fashion: Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture Farrah Fawcett's death has touched me deeply. She was an American icon and a real beauty. Her warm smile and positive energy brought me a lot of happiness. Farrah was sick for a long time, and is no longer in pain. She is in a better place, and will be missed. I can't believe I am crying at work....again. Her struggle with cancer, and passing remind me that life is not to be taken for granted. Live each day as if it is your last. Farrah Fawcett was 62 years old, the same age as my father. My father is a great man, and means the world to me. My heart goes out to Farrah, her father, Ryan O'Neal, her son, and everyone who was lucky enough to be loved by her. Farrah's friends remember her: In a statement confirming the tragic news, Ryan O'Neal says: "After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. ...

This Is The Night

Image
Last week the DJ at the Visionaire / Calvin Klein Collection party played " Touch Me" by Samantha Fox .. "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" was the first hit for British singer Samantha Fox . It was released in 1986 from her debut album Touch Me . The was a worldwide hit, hitting #4 in the U.S. (usually a tough market for international acts), #3 in her native UK, and topping the Australian chart. In elementary school the more developed boys were really into her. Exposing her ass thru a rip in her jeans made her seem sexually available to men back then. Today that look, with her studded leather jacket makes her seem like the kind of woman (who may not be available at all to a man) who has already placed her order for Balmain fall 2009. I cannot get enough Balmain and I cannot get enough of this song. Full moon in the city And the night was young I was hungry for love I was hungry for fun I was hunting you down And I was the bait When I saw you there I didn’t mean to hesi...
