Cover Loving: Gwen Stefani In Saint Laurent For Vogue

Gwen Stefani is certainly having a moment when it comes to magazine covers. This year I have already gushed about her divine Harper’s Bazaar September issue, her abs on the Marie Claire cover, and her digital print mash-up on the October issue of ELLE UK wearing Peter Pilotto and McQ by Alexander McQueen. Well it seems American Vogue wanted to end the year on a high with the release of the January issue with Gwen wearing an ensemble from Saint Laurent by Hedi Slimane’s spring/summer 2013 collection.

Captured by Annie Leibovitz this is a gorgeous cover. I love the pose on the piano, the ruffles, the sparkly jacket, the pop of red on her lips and even the oversized felt hat – this cover is so memorising that I can let them off for putting too many cover lines all over her.

What do you think of Gwen’s latest magazine cover?

Ad Loving: Angelina Jolie For Louis Vuitton

Once again Louis Vuitton and Annie Leibovitz has produced a stunning shot for the Core Value’s campaign, last time it was Bono and his wife Ali Hewson in Africa, and now Angelina Jolie takes the initiative to South-East Asia.

I love how they have chosen a place that everyone knows Angie loves, Cambodia. A place close to her heart as her adopted son Maddox was born there, and she even filmed my favourite of her many movies Tomb Raider in the country. The hollywood actress looks amazing sitting barefoot in a wooden boat on a river in Cambodia, wearing clothes from her own wardrobe, as well as the gorgeous monogrammed Louis Vuitton Alto bag, which is six years old and is sadly no longer in production.

What I love most about this image has to be the earthy feel of it, the green scenery, the lilly-pads on the river, and the rustic look of the boat, combine that with her natural beauty stripped back, and it just works.

The full campaign, including Angelina talking about the shoot and her love for the country will be on the Louis Vuitton website from June 15.

Cover Loving: Rihanna Chanel-Clad on Vogue

We’ve known for ages that Rihanna had finally scooped her first long-awaited American Vogue cover, as the singing superstar broke the news to everyone on her Twitter in January. But seriously, nothing could have prepared me for this amazing cover, shot by Annie Leibovitz, Rihanna really is the perfect choice for the Shape issue.

Looking stunning in a sheer Chanel dress from the label’s pre-fall 2011 collection, I love that Rihanna is channelling Jessica Rabbit with her bright red hair and her sultry good looks.

If the cover is this good – I can’t wait to see what the shoot looks like inside.

Ad Loving: Louis Vuitton Latest Core Values Campaign

The Louis Vuitton core values ad campaign is one of my favourites and I love this latest one featuring Bono and his wife Ali Hewson shot by Annie Leibovitz.

What is surprising with this ad is that both Bono and Ali are wearing Edun, the fashion label that they both founded, accessoried with LV, this surely has to be a first for the brand. Well I suppose with Louis Vuitton having a stake in the brand it really isn’t that surprising – but nice that they didn’t feel the need to have just LV credited.

Both stars have co-designed bags with LV, including the handbag seen with Ali which comes complete with a dangling charm that is the French firm’s first made-in-Africa product, and Bono is carrying a bag with embossed monogram with the proceeds going 2 TechnoServe & Cotton Initiative.

The latest journey of Co-Values has the tag line “Every journey began in Africa” — roles out this month and on louisvuittonjourneys.com.
