Keira's dark side


Photographer duo Mert & Marcus capture English actress Keira Knightley's dark side for the cover shoot of Interview Magazine's April issue. Fashion editor Karl Templer has Keira don super modern pieces from Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint Laurent, amongst others. This makes for a refreshing and super intriguing editorial of Keira who we're used to seeing in corseted frocks in period films like Pride and Prejudice and Atonement. But as her co-star in an upcoming new adaptation of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Jude Law, puts it, "Keira is a perfect paradox."



J'adore.

Love Stoned

Lara Stone is definitely Ms. Ubiquitous in fashion right now - the fashion industry loves her! This editorial, aptly titled The Chronicles of Lara, is from this month's issue of Interview. This time around, the Dutch model is erotically clad in outfits from the likes of Yves Saint Laurent and Bottega Venetta. Photographic duo Mert & Marcus were behind the lens for the shoot.

Freja Beha: we ♥ you





Freja Beha Erichsen and Dan Kling in the August 2010 issue of Interview. The editorial is titled 'Modern Love' and Freja and Dan are featured as a very stylish yet quite odd couple (the feathers, eye-liner and exceptionally tight pants are not for the average man). I love how edgy the shoot is though.

Daria Werbowy in controversial 'Interview Magazine' editorial

What would the fashion industry be without a little controversy now and then? The latest storm surrounds the Mikael Jansson-shot May 2010 Interview Magazine editorial featuring Daria Werbowy. Titled "Let's Get Lost", the editorial has been dubbed racist and highly sexualised by some, and artistically beautiful by others - either way, the editorial is provocative.
Fashion website Refinery 29 believes that, "From the differences in their dress (Daria's in ethereal, angel-like gowns, the others are in knits and leathers) to their body language (A limp yet super-sexual Daria is the main focus, the others feel almost like props), the whole spread has a rather racist vibe that we can't get down with... After all, regardless of what some say, fashion is at its core a political and social product - how power relationships are set up in editorials can speak volumes." Fashion Gone Rogue commentates that, "Unfortunately, it is the editorial's core cast of talented models such as Sedene Blake, Ajak Deng, Salieu Jalloh and Oraine Barrett that get lost in the misguided role of background noise." Whilst Fashion Bomb Daily is of the opinion that, "Daria is the ‘main girl' in the feature, but that's about as far as it goes. The differences in skin colour are only used for artistic contrast-to beautiful effect."

I don't think that the intention of the editorial was to portray any racial stereotypes, but I can see how some people might take offense to it. What are your thoughts on the matter?
