OMG! It’s another Vogue documentary starring Anna Wintour

Posted on by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude, Filmfreude | Leave a comment

After the success of The September Issue, it seems Vogue can’t get enough of opening their doors to the outside world.

‘In Vogue: The Editor’s Eye’ premieres on December 6th in the U.S and follows the mag’s fashion editors around the Conde Nast offices as well as on location.

Quel excitement!

Vogue describes the HBO film as: ‘highlighting the visual and historical contribution editors past and present (including Polly Allen Mellen, Grace Coddington, and Camilla Nickerson) have made not only to the magazine, but also to the world of fashion itself.’

We really can’t wait.

Check out the trailer…

Carla Bruni covers Vogue Paris, reveals wonders of Photoshop

Posted on by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

After over twenty years of super-modelling, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has learnt a thing or two about Vogue covers.

But not even a pose to rival Zoolander’s Blue Steel can smooth out her skin to that extent.

The 44-year-old clearly enlisted the help of miracle product Photoshop to get the ‘I’m still 35′ look for the December issue.

She still looks fab though. Must be that anti-feminist approach to life.

In the accompanying interview, Carla said: ‘There are pioneers who opened the breach. I’m not at all an active feminist. On the contrary, I’m a bourgeois. I love family life, I love doing the same thing every day.’

She also revealed the inevitable truth none of us want to face up to: ’I’ve ended up becoming my mother in some respects, despite my eight years of therapy.’

Maybe another eight will help?

 

Up close and personal: Anne Hathaway’s couture Valentino wedding gown

Posted on by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

After seeing a sketch of Anne Hathaway’s Valentino wedding gown and a sneaky pap shot, it’s nice to finally see it up close.

If she had it her way though, the actress revealed she would have preferred a convertible dress – which Valentino sensibly put her off doing.

She Vogue: ‘I begged him during the first fitting to make the train detachable. He looked at me and said “But it is a dress, not a costume.”

‘The memory of creating it with him is something that I will treasure forever. He somehow read my mind and designed the dress that I’d always wanted.’

Anne had a fairytale wedding after months of gruelling filming for upcoming epic Les Miserables.

The actress lost 25 lbs for the role as consumptive prostitute Fantine, living on two slices of dry oatmeal paste (?!) a day.

She said: ‘I had to be obsessive about it – the idea was to look near death. I was in such a state of deprivation – physical and emotional.

‘When I got home, I couldn’t react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again.’

That’s one extreme pre-wedding diet.

Gisele Bundchen pregnant again? Vogue reckons so

Posted on by D in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | Leave a comment

Gisele is the super-dupermodel who had a baby and minutes later took part in an ‘at home’ with Vogue where she struck an unfeasible yoga pose looking a) like she’d never had more than a large lunch in her belly, rather than a creature the size of a pumpkin, and b) like an ethereal creature whose coltish limbs are twice as long as ours (life is so unfair).

She enraged regular Joannas when she said she didn’t need pain relief for her perfect birth – she simply meditated. It didn’t even hurt! So it’s no surprise that the BRazilian super has gone back for more, if rumours are to believed. Vogue think she is pregnant (so unlike them to perpetuate a rumour unless it’s true!) – check out the picture here: vogue.co.uk as do Us Weekly, who have posted lots more pics here: Us Weekly.

You reckon a baby will REALLY fit in there?

Adding to their wild speculation is a quote given by an unconfirmed source to UsWeekly: ‘Yes, she is pregnant,’ the source blurted out inapproriately. ‘They are really happy,’  indiscreet pal added, telling the mag that Bundchen is “three months” along.

Bundchen told Vogue in December 2011 that she wanted ‘more kids for sure, but I don’t know when,’ adding that she had her ‘hands full’ with her then-almost-two-year-old son Benjamin and her stepson Jack.

What do you think? Pregnant, or just wearing a loose T-shirt? And if you go for the latter, be prepared for people to ask if you’re pregnant next time you wear your gym kit.

 

OMG! Lana Del Rey covers British Vogue

Posted on by M in Fashion News, Fashionfreude | 1 Comment

Six months ago, no one one knew her name but thanks to YouTube an amazing PR offensive, Lana Del Rey has landed her first ever Vogue cover.

The singer shot to fame when her stunning debut single Video Games was played on the catwalk at Fashion Week and the rest, it appears, is history.

She has caused a bit of a ruckus as everyone wonders, is this chick for real?

Ff says Lana is stunning, we love her music and the girl can dress – we may be easily pleased, but that’s enough for us.

And she is wearing Louis Vuitton…bonus points.

Caroline Trentini and her feline friend cover Harper's Bazaar Brazil

At first glance, it looks like any old fur stole.

But perched on Caroline Trentini’s shoulder isn’t your average scarf – it’s a cat.

The Victoria’s Secret model’s feline friend made his debut for Harper’s Brazil this month.

Vogue Spain have an alternative offering, courtesy of Dree Hemingway (Ernest’s granddaughter) who poses on the cover – quite literally holding the baby.

We at FF headquarters are not quite sure what to make of this weird new trend.

But it reminded us of Liz Hurley and Britney Spears rocking the python look.

It seems livestock luxe has been around for a while but when it comes to our handbags, we think we’ll stick to still life.
