Rihanna, Kate Moss Strip for ‘V’ Magazine Covers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models
You know that V has got to be out of ideas for its cover if it resorts to featuring Rihanna and Kate Moss in their birthday suits. Yawn. Haven't we seen this before? Mario Testino shot the covers for this "Dynamic Duos" issue - on newsstands February 28 - one of which Kate's leg could eerily easily double as Rihanna's arm.
What do you think of V's latest issue - over it or love it?

Lizzie Jagger, Jerry Hall Strip Down to Promote Sustainable Fishing
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Models, News
Something fishy is going on with underwater wildlife, and celebrities like Lizzie Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Emilia Fox are shedding light on the issue by getting nude.
Not unlike PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign, FISHLOVE is a campaign founded by actress Greta Scacchi and photographed by John Rankin to spread awareness about the dangers of overfishing. "Fish stocks are at a critical level. This could not only see fish wiped out, but could have a devastating impact on the climate. "There is a real chance of turning things around, and celebrities are a great way of raising awareness," Scacchi explained.
The photographs (more seen after the jump) will be on display starting October 25 at the Pertwee, Anderson & Gold gallery in London, coinciding with an EU summit which will address the overfishing issue.

Items Du Jour: Lana Del Rey Covers GQ, Katie Holmes Opens Up About Designing
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News
+ David Sims photographed Gisele Bundchen for the latest ESPRIT campaign, which features Mrs. Brady in a cool, tailored suit coupled with tousled sex hair (because that's totally how everyone wears their locks to work).
+ Singer of the infectious "Call Me Maybe" hit, Carly Rae Jepsen, is expanding her empire by modeling for Wet Seal. To celebrate the union, the clothing store is giving shoppers a chance to win a shopping spree with Jepsen, as well as tickets to see her and Justin Bieber in concert.
+ Katie Holmes opens up to WWD about her fashion career, in which she claims that she's not afraid to fail (although anyone with a hefty divorce settlement from Tom Cruise would also probably not be too afraid to waste money).
Kim Kardashian Upset Over Nude W Photos
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, News
Reality star and occasional model Kim Kardashian has blasted W Magazine on her show for a nude shoot she did back in October for their November Art issue.
Despite having previously posed nude in Playboy and Harper's Bazaar, Kim was extremely upset over what she claims was misrepresented when pitched to her:
"Oh my God, I'm more naked that I was in Playboy. I'm so mad right now. [The magazine] promised I would be covered with artwork -- you can see the nipples! The whole concept was sold to me that nothing would be seen. I feel so taken advantage of … I've definitely learned my lesson. I'm never taking my clothes off again, even if it's for Vogue."
What never compelled her to confirm that minor stipulation with the magazine is beyond me. Considering the lengths she seems to go to grab headlines, I can't seem to buy her story. Moreover, I think that it's laughable that she'd think there's a possibility in Anna Wintour's this reality that Vogue would ever ask her to be in their magazine.
W, of course, was quick to respond:

Quote of the Day: Tom Ford on His Naked Interview
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News
"I explained how when I come home I actually take off all my clothes, and I wear no clothes until I leave. I eat naked. I do everything completely naked. He said, 'That would make a great interview.' I said, 'Fine, we have to do it nude.' ... Anyway, we did the interview. The interviewer was straight, and I made it a point to desexualize the interview even though I was sitting with my legs wide open, completely naked. At the end of the interview, I put on a dressing gown and he put on his clothes, and I sat next to him on the sofa and said, 'Was that sexual?' He said, 'Absolutely not.' And I said, 'That’s because I didn’t make it sexual. Sexuality is in the eyes, it’s an expression, it’s in a look.' Then, all of a sudden, I looked at him in a very different way, and it made him very nervous."
-- Fashion designer Tom Ford on a very nontraditional interview he once had.

Charlie Le Mindu Sends Naked Models Down Runway
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News
We’ve seen some bizarre runway looks over the past year. Now wigmaker and Lady Gaga favorite Charlie Le Mindu is sending his own fashion shock waves by sending his models down the catwalk in their birthday suits for his Spring/Summer 2011 line.
While nudity is nothing new to the fashion industry (heck, many times, it’s embraced!), there are usually clothes involved—sheer, in most cases. This Frenchman, however, clearly wanted to highlight the hat, purse, and platform boots the nude models wore.

Italy Deems Julianne Moore Ads Indecent
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News, Jewelry
For a city known for its Renaissance paintings that feature plenty of women wearing little clothing in a continent that seems to wonder why many Americans fear nudity, it may come as a shock to many that Venice, Italy has banned the above Bulgari ad, starring actress Julianne Moore from its scheduled billboard duties.
“An advertisement showing a nude woman on a divan is not appropriate for St Mark’s Square,” Mayor Giorgio Orsoni said.
While Moore may not have clothes on, the smiling, playful lion cubs seem to diffuse the expected sexual charge of the photo. That, of course, wasn’t enough for the folks who oversee what is posted around their city…

commercial domination, after all…

Adriana Lima Goes Topless for V Magazine
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Models, News
Not unlike her fellow Victoria’s Secret angel Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima is showing off her incredible post-baby body as well. Only with Lima, she’s posing topless for the cover of V Magazine Spain.
In what is appropriately titled “The Sexy Body Issue,” Mario Sorrenti photographs Lima with a cute knitted Dior cardigan that she doesn’t care to use. Also not surprising is the fact that you can barely see her extremely airbrushed face (not that she needs it!).
The issue goes on sale July 4th, with four other models gracing the front of the magazine. Advertisements for V also tout the covers’ oh-so-wonderful scratch-off feature.

Lindsay Lohan to Pose Nude With or Without SCRAM Bracelet
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News, Rumors, Accessories
Never underestimate a career-less
newly-sober celebrity. Lindsay Lohan is willing to bare it all again for the camera—with or without her chunky alcohol monitoring bracelet.
The 23 year-old stripped down once for New York Magazine when she channeled Marilyn Monroe; this time, Lohan’s cause is for her 6126 collection. Expected to shoot next month in Los Angeles, Richard Luna of The California Bag—the company that licenses Lohan’s handbags—has some interesting ideas to get around the SCRAM accessory.
“We’re thinking of having police on hand so we can remove the ankle bracelet for the pictures,” he said. He then said that they may take photos with and without the bracelet, noting that it could be airbrushed out later.
Such a classy model—no wonder Ungaro wanted her!
