fran lebowitz in elle

her style is certainly not my favorite thing about her, but i could listen to her talk about anything.
When we were young, we knew things. We knew basic history, even as it related to fashion. Now, when something reappears, an 18 year old has no clue that it's a revival. Despite the fact that they're almost always online they don't get references.
I think that's part of why visual things are becoming so derivative. Designers now, they all have these things called mood boards. I suppose they think a sense of discovery equals invention. It would be as if every writer had a board with paragraphs of other writers—'Oh, I'll take a little bit of this, and that, he was really good.' Yes, he was really good! And that is not a mood board, it is a stealing board.
READ IT.

serena x beyonce

     

 
read serena's vogue cover feature.
What is remarkable is the shot itself, given that , a non-size-zero woman, does not appear tightly-cropped in an explosion of hair and kohl (see Adele, whose portrait goes cleavage-deep), or distractingly framed by polka dots and headlight-eyes (see Lena Dunham). Rather, she is photographed by Annie Leibovitz face on at hip height, not shielding her body from the camera or wearing sleeves. When Mindy Kaling appeared in US Elle’s “Women in TV” issue, as one of four women (Zooey Deschanel, Allison Williams and Amy Poehler were the others) she was the only one shot in black and white – you can imagine the op-eds that followed. The same thing happened – super close crop – to Gabby Sidibe on the cover of US Elle in 2010. That Williams is black, not a model, and not dressed thematically in tennis whites is a big win for solid diversity representation. Let’s just hope it’s not a one-off. (via)
