GQ ITALIA SEPTEMBER 2008 BY Guy Aroch.

Is it the sun in there or what is it  cos there are must be SOMETHING about ITALIAN fashion magazine industry, They just cant stop bringing the BANG-BOOM superhigh cover and contents! And we are happy and thankful about this !

Our eternity beauty, supermodel Helena Christensen (hats off!) rock it on GQ with the coolest NEW-ERA photogragher Guy Aroch. You can see how the magical worked on out there cos the GQ paper is all glossy and warm-up-to-burn. Guy Aroch has saved the life of Nylon magazine's publisher, and if I didnt remember it wrong Guy Aroch also shot the style summer issue for GQ Italia featuring actor Hayden Christensen (what are the odds lol), You see some equal moods but all so different. So all the colors and texts arent random. Its called A STYLE of photographer and his teammates.

I gave 6 out of 10 for this. i-D has done it like this millions of times although not always as interesting as it like this.

Isnt it a lit bit too late for Mr Law to cover the Numero Homme ? What's it all about? The Dior Perfume? I see what they are doing here, TRY to make this all sharp and calm. Black is the new boring and we are so tired of the stare.

EVA MENDES TOO HOT FOR THE BIG APPLE

Eva Mendes’ new ad for Calvin Klein Secret Obsession campaign has been controversial. The TV spots were banned by networks because she revealed a little too much of herself. And even this billboard, which was erected in Times Square yesterday morning had to be moved after the first building decided it was too racy.

In a statement, Eva says of the scandal: “I am so proud of (the ad). I am proud of being an American and am proud of my country, but I think we can be a little bit uptight about nudity sometimes.”

Our thoughts? Too racy for NYC?

You Jump, I Jump/Wall Street Journal - WSJ Magazine Premiere Issue

When it comes up with the idea of jumping into the magazine business, even the hardest joker would twisted his mind of editing, Such as " We should do A question interview with some coolest people in town yeah totally! "  There! That's where your magazine ended up being just " another magazine".

My friend, Jamie is doing so . He's been to everywhere, he's met everyone. He speaks 8 languages, graduated from Harvard, Wrote a book about how to cross the boarder of Cuba without a passport and still breathing. Owner of one of the most productive diamond mine companies, married a beautiful new york goddess with 2 wonderful boys, taught then how to dive underwater in Caribbean Sea. Cooking. Cleaning. Charming. He is everything a man should be and he did all of this while wearing nice-cut Prada suit.

And hes about to publish a magazine now. He thinks I m the one should be interviewed.

So when the editor called, said that Jamie is their boss and me is one of the coolest they'd like to meet. I just bursted out loud. How funny could you get.And then, I realized hes serious.

Jamie is publishing a magazine in New York? What it is. He finally found out about a way to Money Issue: HOW TO LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY WITHIN A BLINK.

Timing is Everything. Now or Never. He said. And I believe him. I really do . So far my life was pitched with all the crazy ideas from all my friends. And it sometimes pissing me off cos 99% of them rocking the business just like that right this minute. So why not. So another magazine. So what !

Which words would you use to describe yourself?

Hungry.

Which city do you like best?

There are too many to pick one. New york is def on top list.

Where is your next destination?

On planing or on saying? Cause I m leaving all the time. On the top of head, will be at Rome next year for sure.

Shopping list?

You'd never want to know that answer from the one that buys 60 fashion magazines/month.

Your favorite brands?

Guess you are talking about clothes. All the Big names are friendly to me. I like to match them with the Jewelry designed by myself. Also, local things. There is a very chic hat that you could only buy it in finland.

Where do you shop in New York?

Long list... I dont really shop for clothes in new york. Cause when its time to buy I m always in other city than here. I shop in MOMA's gift shop. lol

New York's charm?

Bill Bryson wrote a very interesting book named MADE IN AMERICA. Its about an informal English language history in the United States. I have a routine: Last page goes first. So in this book the very last paragraph goes : If History is anything to go by , then three things about America's immigrants are as certain today as they ever were: That they will learn English, that they will become Americans, and that the counrty will be stronger for it. And if that is not a good thing, I dont know what is.

You see, its the same thing with New York, only much cooler, that you will learn to be yourself, that you will become a new yorker, and that the city will be stronger for it. Being a outsider myself, I've never felt outsided in new york from the first second me lied my eyes on this land. New York charms me. Plus No.111 reason to love New York:Because Smart and Chic Can Mean Almost the Same Thing.

You get the idea. I m already running out of time for answering. lol

Easy...HEY tAke It EaSy !

Ah...what a loser...
What?
Someone just valid your lame casting vid and put it on tube. Comes the name...Ah..I knew that kid, I deleted his posts before. He's chinese and I dont like him.
Why do you have to know all the stupid gayheads.
Hey Mr, this one is promoting your model career...lol if you'd have one. lol



Arent you have a job to be at? Like horsing around and tell DJ AM to gota hell....

You know what ! I do. You should look at Jamie's face, thats the sign for me to donate...lol

You are the worst boss ever.

Worst boss dose stealing... like, the blonde bitch from Vny, always mistake her with Donatella Versace... Lena? Leila? Leni??  Whatever, Me, on the other hand totally against of stealing unless its for boyfriend.

You only do robbery.

That's right! 

What did they do this time? Sold Nick Snider for a major boy?

Nah... Luke Worrall.

Mr Ture Love My Ass? lol That sounds like a good deal.

The kid's guna be miserable.

No doubt.

I mean Vny more like a Vampire-why....Sucking them dry and spitting them out.

Dont quote Andy Warhol.

Long relationship is boring. Solid people come the end with big money. 

Breaking before sticking always ending big loss.

I think my phone just glued my face......

Why.. you used your tongue to lick the ugly ear ?

Probably the damn shampoo.....

You are showering while you are on the phone with me ?! And what kinda brand are you using, I thought all of them were suppose to make skin soft and smooth.

What, you gotta problem with that?

Nah... just how do you do that ?

Hang on I got a call from Garret.

Dont you hang upon me you little......

MARIO TESTINO FOR VERSACE

DAILY GORGEOUSNESS

She dons a slew of different dresses in The Duchess, but Keira Knightley had heads turning as she donned a bone-hugging strapless number to the film’s world premiere tonight.

In her backless cornflower blue gown with lacy tulle neckline and hem, the bone-thin star showed off her tiny waist as she worked her stuff for cheering fans.
While admirers couldn’t get enough of their favourite big screen beauty, there was one fan who managed to hold Keira’s attention the entire night — her boyfriend Rupert Friend, who joined his leading lady in a matching blue suit.

The dress is adorable, the barrette in her hair is adorable. Everything is ADORABLE!

Source on that Miss Knightley's dress is by Alexis Mabille, ring by Chanel and shoes by Moschino. We have a huge pic in here click to help yourself. :)

New Marciano Boutique Offers Free Coffee, Good Girlie Fun

While many of us fled the city for the three-day weekend on Friday, Guess opened its first New York Marciano boutique in Soho. The glitzy runway-inspired label offers teeny cocktail dresses, slinky tops, leather handbags, and towering heels in a sprawling, two-story space on Broadway that reminds us of Cher's house from Clueless (and we mean that in a good way). Animal-print accents, custom-made furniture, and glittering chandeliers accent the store's pristine white interior — and we appreciated the bar and drink cart serving free cappuccino and soft drinks to shoppers on the first floor. A collage of mirror pieces on the rear wall reflects mannequins modeling short, tight dresses, and a projector above the staircase loops recent runway shows on a giant screen. Fitting rooms include plush leather ottomans and ample, inviting seating for restless boyfriends. Upstairs, an entire room is devoted to the high-heeled footwear collection — the largest selection of all the Marciano stores — displaying slingbacks, boots, and pumps in leather brights and metallics.

Vivienne Westwood to Release an Album!

Hey, if musicians can make clothing lines, there's no reason designers can't make CDs: Vivienne Westwood will release a compilation album, Catwalk Breakdown, on September 15. British Vogue reports Westwood conceptualized, curated, and art-directed the album, giving us all a reason to go to an actual physical store where CDs are sold and buy the album, plastic case, cellophane wrapping, and all. The album includes sixteen of Westwood's favorite songs, like "Last Night Was Made for Love," by Billy Fury, and Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers. Westwood told British Vogue:

"My clothes always tell a story. It may refer to the past, but it's always projected into this heroic future. And I choose the music accordingly … Sometimes the music can just be sexy, it can let you relax, look at the clothes, put people into a fantastic mood. Then it might just have to swing back and lift you up to the final triumph of the fashion show."
"These are some of the pieces that I've relied on over all these years — my classics. They've never failed me."

It's like music therapy! When Fashion Week ends, we might need a little of that to ease our mourning. We can only listen to "Why Do All Good Things Come to an End?," by Nelly Furtado, so many times.

Michael Phelps Explains His Style and Beauty Routine

Yesterday Michael Phelps received his $1 million bonus from Speedo for winning eight gold medals. But rather than blow it on models, bottles, and $300 jeans, he's using it to create the Michael Phelps Foundation "dedicated to growing the sport of swimming globally and encouraging active lifestyles." Aw, that's sweet. WWD was on hand to interview Phelps. Joe Gromak, CEO of the Warnaco Group Inc., which owns Speedo, helped Phelps answer hard-hitting questions about his style. And guess what? He's a jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy!

WWD: What do you wear when you are out of the pool?
M.P.: Jeans, polos, button-downs, nothing too fancy.
J.G.: He likes Calvin Klein Jeans and Underwear, I hear [which Warnaco makes].
M.P.: Yeah, I wear Diesel, Seven, D&G, Lacoste — that’s pretty much it.

That's right, Joe — if you wanted him to say Calvin Klein on his own, you could have cut him another $1 million deal. No one would be opposed to a topless Michael Phelps Calvin Klein jeans billboard, after all.

WWD also asked the question that's been plaguing us since gold medal No. 3: How does he deal with all that skin- and hair-damaging chlorine exposure?!

M.P.: I use Kiehl’s lotion. I don’t have much hair to wash, so I’m not picky about shampoo.

You know that's an honest answer because he's not even endorsing that brand! Phelps added he's been too busy to finalize new endorsement deals but currently endorses Visa, Omega, PowerBar, Hilton, Rosetta Stone, and AT&T — all things he uses. Which means there's a serious void in his fashion and beauty endorsement repertoire. So hop to it, industries! And someone please get him on the front row of Fashion Week. Lacoste, we're looking at you.

So there are 14 types of lotion that Kiehl's provided on market....WORK IT OUT PEOPLE.

AGUA DE LOEWE DE WATER

In case you'd ever wondered what dose it feel like to drink a bottle of perfume.The answer is, Loewe pull over a day-live drinking water.

I hate the idea that about high fashion house would care about global warming/natural sourcing/animal living. It is just so pure fraud and fake and sickening. Like the president of USA would care about who Johnny Depp is getting married with. 110 euro for raising the attention of natural water? More like a 110 lies to lift branding face off the press.

Good thing is that at least AGUA DE LOEWE by Loewe is not spreading in worldwide.( like someone would really buy it. Hello Evian by Christian Lacroix still on sale! ) Only sold in Spain and limited at 1000 bottles in co-op with Solan de Cabras Company. 800 ml/B.

SCARF WITH THE WIND

Ah...Where to begin... Hermes takes me at the first glance. What should A fashion name look alike? This is simply the best answer. Over 171 years (Jesus..) Hermes has remained its royal highness with absolutely gracious elegance and touching insistent.

Chilliness in the wild, the tough girl like Boscono. Spirits of adventure. Ignites the flame from the bottom of the heart. You can almost hear it. It says, To Be You.
