Loving Nadja Bender (backstage at Lanvin ) on the cover of the upcoming style.com magazine. And the issue sounds like its bursting with too juicy sound bytes. Take this choice one from Alber Elbaz "³I always say I cannot work with bitches; they block my creativity". Keep it real Alber, keep it really real. Here are some other highlights of the new issue, on newstands April 2 :

"Nostalgia In Vogue" hits stores in early Nov and that makes it a quintessential Christmas item

“I had read too many stories about magazines losing image troves, whether because they were poorly maintained, thrown out by accident, or deemed unimportant to posterity. But you need only visit any designer’s studio and see the vintage portraits and fashion photographs pinned to the wall to understand that these pictures carry weight; that they are points of reference and inspiration, not simply commercial images made to sell dresses.”

Anna Wintour in the foreword to Nostalgia In Vogue.

I recall a brilliant writer , (I believe it was Hilton Als) expressing the dangerous sentiment that in fashion, people are suspicious of words and the people who ply too heavily in them.

Courtney Love rocks V Loves Paris. PH Rad Hourani for vmagazine.com

TI has been roaming those long nights in search of that special brand of high grade hiss that only a drunk and messy Fashion Week shebang can yield.

Minimalist does not not suffice as a description. PR (press release) after the jump

Les dames du Bois de Boulogne: French poster

One of my favorite characters is Helene in Robert Bresson's 1945 film Les dames du Bois de Boulogne which is my favorite French film.

One all-male clique trotting down the aisles looked too pretty and pulled together, then, to be just another gaggle of collectors

Can Baptiste Giabiconi ride that privileged Karl Lagerfeld platform all the way to icon-hood

"The lifeblood of any model, male or female is the customer coming back. We can be the best possible agent and make that opportunity of the booking... that one time. We can get you in to see that customer who ordinarily would not have requested you...that one time. But the only one who can make that into a repeat booking is you when you get on set"

Sean Patterson , President of Wilhelmina Management.
