Kate Moss, the book.
via Another Mag:
The many faces of Kate Moss, arguably the world’s most famous supermodel, are compiled together in a revelatory new book created by the model herself, with eight covers revealed here for the first time. Created in collaboration with celebrated art director and editor Fabien Baron, AnOther Magazine founder and editor-in-chief Jefferson Hackand Jess Hallett, the book is a highly personal retrospective of her career, following her trajectory from schoolgirl waif to one of our era’s most recognisable and iconic faces.
In a brainwave that serves to emphasise Kate’s extraordinary range, editor Baron’s decision to issue the book with eight different covers is a startling reminder of Moss’s seemingly infinite chameleon quality. From the earliest image of the daisy chain strewn teenager shot by Corinne Day in 1990 – via the gleaming Amazonian goddess captured by Mert & Marcus, David Sims’ haughty beauty and Craig McDean’s sensual temptress – to 2009’s sleek French Vogue editorial with Inez & Vinoodh, this is a work that not only represents the extraordinary depth of work by a single model, but also tracks the history of fashion media and modern culture.

CFDA Journal. The Nominees.
WWD - For this year’s CFDA Journal, Diane von Furstenberg’s only marching orders for creative director Trey Laird were “Capture fashion — do something fabulous.” So instead of using models to showcase the designers’ work, he decided it would be best to have the nominees shot sporting their own creations, which had not been done before. Photographer Craig McDean and stylist Karl Templer helped to ensure none of the 21 subjects would wind up with a standard head-and-shoulders shot. International award winner Marc Jacobs, who will be honored for his work for Louis Vuitton, donned the floppy rabbit ears he created. Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, who are in the running for Accessory Designer of the Year, wore their handbags as if they were boxing gloves. More daring is the image of Swarovski women’s wear designer contender Jason Wu standing proudly in an emerald green evening gown over a gray suit. Inspired by Wu’s understated graceful dresses, Laird envisioned him as a bit like Fred Astaire, “but his Ginger Rogers is his creation.”

Vogue October: Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz graces the October cover of Vogue and have to admit that I'm crazy about it. A Londoner by heart, she's been a East Village/Brooklyn girl for the last few years and photographer Craig McDean really captured it.
