They said/We said: Arty takes on fashion pop up in several November issues

Photography by Fulvio Bonavia for Garage Magazine

This month it seems like fashion magazines are turning more and more towards art for inspiration, creating editorials that blur the lines between the two. For Garage magazine photographer Fulvio Bonavia and stylist Giovanna Battaglia, this resulted in creating replicas of dresses from designers Fall 2011 collections—using food. Did you ever think you would see a McQueen dress made entirely of lettuce or a Louis Vuitton dress made of walnuts? Neither did we.

The foodatorial comes just a week after W magazine revealed two covers for their Art and Fashion issue: one, by artist Ai Wei Wei, depicts a model being tackled to the ground and the other, by artist Francesco Vezzoli, features Nicki Minaj as a stately lady complete with grey hair and pearls. Inside the issue are several ad parodies photographed by Steven Meisel. While designers gaining inspiration from art is nothing new, the covers and editorials born out of a fine art muse have been a breath of fresh air.

We’re kvelling! Five-time FASHION cover girl Liisa Winkler kills it in the new Balenciaga ads

Comments

We’re kvelling over here. Belleville-born beauty and five-time FASHION cover girl Liisa Winkler has landed one of our favourite new campaigns: the Steven Meisel–photo’d Balenciaga Fall 2011 shots. Featuring Winkler alongside fellow model Julia Nobis swathed in the season’s angular colour-blocked pieces, the shots juxtapose the setting of the Gothic arches of a Harlem church with sterile black-and-white bathroom tiles. “I met with Nicolas in New York and he booked me ‘exclusive’ for his show in Paris. Soon after, I shot the campaign in New York with Steven,” says Winkler. “It was so nice to work with such a great team again. After being out of the industry for the past few years raising my kids, I feel more solid in my own skin and more able to fully appreciate and understand all the creative direction that goes into a shoot like this.”

To boot, she is also featured in the just-released behind-the-scenes video of the shoot filmed by model Karen Elson and is seen in many of the, like, zillion photos that are included on the relaunched Balenciaga website. You go, homegirl!

Well there’s always acting. At the Cannes Film Festival there have been plenty of models trying to make the transition to the big screen. [Fashionologie]

What do you think of these high-fashion Mickey Mouse ears (adorned by House of Holland, Giles, et. al.)? We love the spiked pair, even though they might look a bit out of place at a theme park. [Refinery 29]
