Casting director Michelle Lee’s exclusive casting shots of her top new girls for the AW1o NY shows as seen on the Love blog and Perth girl Amelia Brown has made the top 26. Signed to Scene, Amelia was discovered by Australian photographer Justin Smith. I am looking forward to seeing the young girls ruling the shows, just wish as last London and Paris Fashion Week I was over there seeing for myself!

Years ago I began a collection of Karen Walker t-shirts. I have now moved onto her ever growing accessory lines, the jewellery and sunglasses. It may have some reason with her increasingly kitche lookbooks… ”Sun Gods” 2010/11 has taken the unisex head shots to the next level. I want the orange frames and for the boy…the blue tortoise shell ones.
For quite some time now I have been re-visiting the pages online site as I can’t patiently wait for the new issue. Still checking as this Holly Thompson January cover has yet to hit the site. I love this shot. Nude make up with a pale frilly collar, so fresh like the very first shot showing the immediate chemistry even before the team has warmed up. Can’t wait to see the rest.
GaGa Goes To The Beach is another outstanding editorial in the mere weekly… Australian Grazia. I often buy it despite the $6 price for a gossipy weekly as the shoots are so good. Annabella Barber models this round for Photographer Georges Antoni with Caterina Scardino styling.
Usually it is Grazia’s Fashion Director Mark Vassallo, (who is also in charge of many of Australian Harpers glamourous shoots) who lights up the page with his style. Generally showing a strong mix of Target, Chanel and young local talents in his made for movies editorials.
I love this shot. Anything that attracts me to seeing the behind the scenes version. Dangerous couture out deep at the beach. Jaws-like scary.
To finish it off an odd pale pink trench and matching umbrella. Annabella strikes up a more high class stance.

Another editorial from Kurv that looks like no other. Photographer M. Mac Asell and Model Helen Nonini. Next Issue is all about beauty after 40. Magazines seem to be pushing the boundaries despite these financial times.
Vogue Australia March 2010, “The Miu Mix” Photographer Nicole Bentley and the next big Australian face Samantha Harris. Finally my hometown Vogue is back on track. Supporting our supers by giving Abbey Lee the cover and an editorial and then a spread featuring Miss Harris. I am trying to have a little rest from my blog as I keep arriving to my paid job late, but when I saw this beautiful editorial on Studded Hearts I had to compliment those at Vogue.
Lover are having their first ever jumble sale, and it’s travelling. Brisbane Sat Feb 6th at the GPO Hotel, Sydney Sat Feb 13th at the Paddington RSL, and Melbourne Sat Feb 20th at the Brood Box Gallery. Rarities and old favorites. The pale pink poster says it all.
The old paint your face black has been the contraversial statement of 2009. Without joining the political discussion here comes in the book/magazine that is Kurv some stunning use of Kohl. White, red, jet and grey slate eyes. Shiseido circa 1990 would have loved to circulate these works of art. Photographer Gitte Meldgaard and make up by Riku Campo.
Jethro Cave is standing up for the new wave of cheeky rather than all jawline male models. There for a good time not a long time. A nasty gnarl walking for Paul Smith, Versace and Costume National in the recent Menswear shows as well as getting as much backstage short film time as possible. Acting slightly insane as opposed to the usual chiseled answers the male models enjoy. I love a undercut maniac to keep things interesting.

I hardly ever go to news stands anymore. Sad but true. I either subscribe or feel too late if I don’t purchase it immediately after it’s out. I feel it’s old news. Again tearful. So I went out to see if the new Oyster was out and came across Kurv. Front cover screamed international… Taylor Warren shot by Herring & Herring in scarlet tones and spelt and type such of a European flavour. I persevered and finally read between the lines to find it’s Australian and printed in Western Australia. More like a book, get ready to see some hot as fire beauty editorials.
In the red room. A faint look at the pale American’s renowned pale ice stare. I am not usually a fan of the tinted shoot, but as a cover and a caught in action editorial I have changed my mind and have done a complete turn around.
