New York Look, Spring 2008
New York Look, the semi-annual fashion magazine from the editors of New York, announced itself with a bold, graphic, black-and-white cover for its inaugural issue. In an age of instantly available and ubiquitous runway photos, the cover presents a catwalk photo readers have never seen before, shot by Magnum photographer Paolo Pellegrin. Pellegrin captured the beauty, chaos, and drama of Fashion Week with the fresh eye of an outsider. Fashion covers are usually staged, highly produced affairs. This cover was unmistakably fashionable but used documentary photography to tell its story—and the stunning artistry of the picture perfectly captures what was special about New York Look’s singular approach, covering the collections rather than the clothes—looking at the fashion shows as a phenomenon, rather than a simple showcase for a product.
Vanity Fair, September 2007
For Vanity Fair’s fashion cover, world-renowned fashion photographer and portraitist Mario Testino shot supermodel Gisele Bündchen wearing a flashy Robert Cavalli dress for a feature on Brazil. Styled by Michael Roberts, the cover of Vanity Fair’s annual Style Issue conveys luxurious electricity. The integration of type into the contours of the limousine draws the reader, in an almost tactile way, into the cover itself.
Departures, March/April 2008
The image selected for Departures’ March/April 2008 International Style cover tries to do things a little differently: embracing the good, the never bad, and the always beautiful world of fashion with a whoosh, in a blur, with style and sophistication.
GQ, March 2008
Eric Bana was photographed for GQ’s March 2008 issue by Michael Thompson. He’s wearing a suit by John Varvatos with a shirt and tie by Jill Sander. Bana looks stylish, confident, and every inch a GQ man. But what’s also noteworthy is how relaxed and comfortable he looks. It’s hard to imagine a better way for a man to appear on the cover of GQ. And isn’t that the ultimate fashion secret?
