“There’s something extremely appealing about Jessica Stam’s red hair, electric blue eyes and red lips; they stand out against the white background,” says art director Maarten Sluyter, who joined FASHION in February 2011. “The lighting is so soft and fresh, like a Sunday morning when you’re just waking up and there’s no rush to get out of bed. It makes me think of Marilyn Monroe’s last photo shoot; Stam has captured that same feeling of desire and vulnerability. Because there’s very little fashion in this shot, it has a timeless quality. I could see this photo a hundred times and never get tired of it.” Read more »

Earlier this week, supermodel and FASHION cover babe Coco Rocha took to the stage in New York, along with Doutzen Kroes, to speak out on the matters of health and beauty within the modeling industry. Amongst her statements, the model mentioned being told—at age 15 no less—to look like she was anorexic without actually developing an eating disorder. In a post titled “Supermodel Coco Rocha is not anorexic, okay? She’s allegedly healthy—and beautiful,” from earlier today, torontolife.com discussed her remarks. We don’t believe the post intended negativity, save for the particularly bold headline, but Rocha wasn’t happy about it, as evidenced by her comment on the post, and remarks on her own blog. Do you think the article took the focus away from Rocha’s good intentions? Tell us on Twitter and Facebook!

This summer, we introduced you to Lookbook Cookbook, a cheeky new site putting the sexy stamp on vegan and gluten free food by serving it up with some seriously attractive model faces. Toronto-based creator Jessica Milan is back to share some more of her scrumptious recipes, this with the winter-ready staples of maple, pumpkin, and of course, chocolate.

Photo spreads from Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent. Roitfeld in 2002.
Carine Roitfeld, the world’s most inimitably chic fashion editor, is back. She tells Rani Sheen what’s next for her.
When it was announced in December that Carine Roitfeld had stepped down as editor-in-chief of Paris Vogue, the fashion world erupted in speculation about what she’d do next. The answer, in part, lies in the book Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent ($110, Rizzoli New York), a mid-career retrospective of her most arresting shoots, notes from designers, and personal mementos. It’s a satisfying read because there is such a fascination with Roitfeld, the coolest woman in any front row. We asked her what else she’s been up to.

What’s your approach to modelling?
“It’s like acting for me. I always try to understand the inspiration behind the photo shoot—the woman, film or book that we’re translating into a photograph.”

Ahem, pre-teens and teens, there’s one more place where you’re going to have to worry about getting carded: the runway. Fifteen and younger need not apply.
CFDA president Diane Von Furstenberg has sent letters to her fellow designers asking them to demand a valid ID from every model walking in their shows to verify their age. Von Furstenberg was embarrassed last season after making a stink about only employing healthy 16-year-olds and then sending a 15-year-old Hailey Clauson down her own runway.
Two years ago, Michael Kors announced that he was not going to be hiring any models under 16. In a recent interview for the new issue of Interview Magazine, though, he mentions that a few models might have deceived him by lying about their age. Might not be much of a stretch, as agents have been known to fib about a model’s stats when it comes to their age, height, or weight.
With weigh-ins and measurement-taking at shows gaining in popularity to help prevent eating disorders, Von Furstenberg is hoping to set a new precedent with carding models as well.

Tearing pages from magazines to admire the willowy worth of the models within, you can’t help but wonder what, if anything, are these women actually eating? What’s their secret? In a word? Dessert.
Well, we’re sure “exercise” and “genetics” must have something to do with it. But even the most blessed beanpoles are known to enjoy the sweet stuff too.
According to model-turned-photographer Jessica Milan, it’s all about picking the right sweets. After trading the catwalk for the camera, she still stands at a super-slender six feet tall, which means she still gets asked what, if anything, she’s eating to stay so svelte.
And so, to put the “most models don’t eat” theory to bed, she created Lookbook Cookbook, a website featuring fun, natural baking recipes that are free of gluten, dairy, meat, and, therefore, guilt. Feast your eyes on, yes, real models doing real damage on treats like raw almond halva, strawberry mousse, and chocolate-chip banana pancakes.
Too good to be true? The proof is in the pudding– er, the slideshow. Today, Milan shares three of her favourite recipes—and photo shoots—with FASHION.
