Fab Flash: Kirsten Dunst, Miu Miu Campaign Star

FabSugar — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:00:22 PST

Following in a long line of PYTs - think Lindsay Lohan, Selma Blair, and Maggie Gyllenhaal - Kirsten Dunst is set to be the face of Miu Miu's Spring campaign. She posed for the images in LA last week, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. I think her off-kilter, youthful style is the perfect match for Prada's younger sis.

Meanwhile, it appears Kirsten is not the only celeb to front a major fashion campaign for Spring: Rumors have reached a fever pitch about Victoria Beckham starring in the Marc Jacobs campaign. Could it be? We'll just have to wait and see...

Allie Merriam — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:20:03 PST

Kate Moss wrapped up in her Isabel Marant fur jacket today when she left her London home. She's home in the UK with her husband Jamie Hince following a November getaway to Paris. The excursion was so that Kate could see Jamie while he was on tour with the Kills, but she's had her own work associations with France lately. Kate Moss covers the new Vogue Paris, though with a very different look - photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott captured Kate in a full David Bowie disguise. Kate also channeled the rock star in 2003 in shoot for British Vogue.

She's fresh off a fashionable week in the UK, having attended Tuesday's British Style Awards. She didn't take home a statue that evening, but she's in the running for a different prize. If you think Kate is the top model of 2011, make sure to show her some love in our poll!

Angelina Jolie Jokes "Brad Thinks I'm Going to Be a Nightmare" Now That She's a Director

Allie Merriam — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:28:07 PDT

Angelina Jolie covers October 2011's Vanity Fair, which will be on newsstands nationwide on Sept. 6. Inside the magazine, Angelina posed for photos with daughters Vivienne and Zahara and spoke about her upcoming directorial and screenwriting debut In the Land of Blood and Honey. She revealed how she came to write and direct the picture and that Brad was helpful with constructive criticism. Angelina also touched on her family, saying she and Brad aren't expanding the Jolie-Pitt clan anytime soon. She said:

On rumors about her family: "I’m not pregnant. I’m not adopting at the moment."
On Brad's thoughts for her postdirecting future: “Brad thinks I’m going to be a nightmare. . . . I had such a good experience he thinks I’m going to be impatient with directors, which I already am. I get impatient with people working on a film that have their head in their hands like it’s the most complicated thing in the world.”
On how she came to write the script: “I had the flu. I had to be quarantined from the children for two days. I was in the attic of a house in France. I was isolated, pacing. I don’t watch TV and I wasn’t reading anything. So I started writing. I went from the beginning to the end. I didn’t know any other way. [She says she then let Brad take the script to read on a trip] He called and said, ‘You know, honey, it’s not that bad.’”
On Brad's constructive criticism: “He’d come in and say what he liked or what he didn’t understand. Like any woman, I would listen to most of it and fight a few things. He’s been so supportive. But it’s hard to separate the person that loves you from the critic, so I don’t think he’s a fair judge.”

Instead of just choosing one face to represent its Fall campaign, Lane Crawford went for the gusto featuring five Chinese top models: Fei Fei Sun, Liu Wen, Ming Xi, Shu Pei, and Xiao Wen Ju. The ad, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, depicts them wearing a palette of black and neutrals from brands like Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, and Lanvin. "The campaign combines a stunning array from renowned international fashion brands with the strongest Chinese faces to create a fascinating and powerful shot," said the China-based retailer. Do you like the dramatic statement, or would you prefer more diversity?

Stella McCartney, who just launched her newly revamped website today, is next up to reveal her Fall ad featuring one of favorite models, Natalia Vodianova. Staying true to McCartney's English roots, the shoot, by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, took place in a private Oxfordshire home inside a serene topiary garden with Vodianova wearing an eye-catching black, sheer, polka-dot dress. Notice how the modern juxtaposition between the black and white photo and green garden adds major contrast. Of course, Natalia looks flawless as usual, with smoky eyes and perfectly tousled hair. We love it - are you just as enamored?
