Vogue, Vogue Paris Seem Undeterred by Terry Richardson Allegations

>> Last week, Marc Jacobs spoke out in support of Terry Richardson after allegations of sexual harassment came to light.  And just days after the news came out, it appeared that Richardson was collaborating on a shoot with Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris, based on pictures posted on his blog of Roitfeld, Lara Stone, and Freja Beha Erichsen.

Over the past weekend, Doutzen Kroes Tweeted "Goodmorning Miami, working for Vogue today!" and posted a picture with the caption reading. "My hair is a little messy from being on the beach shooting for American Vogue." It appears that Richardson was the photographer on the shoot — he posted a picture taken over the weekend of Doutzen on the beach, with a caption reading, "Shooting Doutzen in Miami."

A number of anonymous fashion insiders polled by Fashionista said they didn't expect the allegations to have any lasting effects on Richardson's career, and judging by Marc Jacobs's, Vogue's, and Vogue Paris's continued support, they seem to be correct.

Which Spring i-D Cover Is Most Fab?

We've been talking a lot about Spring, but let's let someone else do the talking for a sec.

We've been talking a lot about Spring, but let's let someone else do the talking for a sec. i-D magazine has released its Spring-tastic multiple covers, letting models Sasha Pivovarova, Natalia Vodianova, and Freja Beha Erichsen work their winking magic. Though I prefer the classic eye wink, as opposed to the hair-cover-up-wink, Freja is pretty irresistible in her head-on bouffant wink. And Natalia is too cute and fresh faced. Sasha — out of this world. Three different stylish scenarios, which beauty tickles your fancy?

Natalia Vodianova

Chanel Fall 2010: All Faux Fur and Icebergs

Chanel Fall 2010: All Faux Fur and Icebergs

>> For the six days leading up to the Chanel Fall 2010 show, Karl Lagerfeld had the thirty-five person team who sculpted The Ice Hotel in Sweden brought in to carve a 265-ton iceberg, also imported from Sweden, in the middle of the Grand Palais.  The room was chilled to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and the iceberg was hidden from the audience under a large wooden box that mechanically rose when the show started.

Four models — Brad Kroenig, Baptiste Giabiconi, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Freja Beha Erichsen (the latter two who are reportedly set to appear in the Chanel Fall 2010 campaign) — in furry yeti suits opened the display, "milling about in a daze" before dispersing, and giving way to a train of models sloshing through water from the melting iceberg; some even left shoes which came loose behind in their wake.

“Global warming is the issue of our times. Fashion has to address it,” Lagerfeld said afterward.  And fur was everywhere — boots, skirts, pants, bags — but all faux.  Karl said he went with faux fur for two reasons: first, Fendi does the best real furs and he doesn't want to compete, and second: “Technical advances are so perfect you can hardly tell fake fur from the real thing. Fake is not chic — we have got a new Chanel tweed to stop copies — but fake fur is.”

>> Abbey Lee Kershaw on Working with Terry Richardson —Abbey Lee Kershaw won't talk about rumors of a relationship with Freja Beha Erichsen, but she will say that she "didn't have to act that much" for a sex-inspired Terry Richardson shot with Freja for Purple Fashion. "Terry doesn’t force girls to do anything they don’t want to. He puts you in a G-string in a pile of mud because you want to do it. You touch yourself because you want to. For me, that shoot was the truth about how things were between us both, and I felt good doing it. I’m not ashamed of it — why should I be? . . . I’ve always swung both ways . . . I don’t call myself bisexual: I’m just experimental. I was always looking for somebody to sweep me off my feet, but then I got bored after two months and was on to the next.” [Times UK]
