Emma Stone For W

These photographs by Juergen Teller have actually been out for a couple of weeks now, but I didn’t want to post them until I had the full spread of photos right in front of me. I don’t really like the way that Emma Stone looks on this cover because though she exudes innocence, she also looks child-like and as a viewer, it feels a little bit creepy. However, I’ve always been a fan of Juergen Teller’s work. He’s the man behind all of the Marc Jacobs ad and I’ve adored his work so much that I remember even including him in my final project for History of Costume Design during my freshman year of college on how different forms and outlets will change the way we look at fashion. Advertisements were one of them.

Miu Miu x3

Three August covers – one Miu Miu dress. Well, you certainly don’t see that…ever!

The now infamous dress from Miu Miu’s Fall 2010 runway collection has made the cover of British Vogue, UK Elle, and US Magazine W. [though slightly altered on each cover] According to The Guardian, Fashion press officers work hard to achieve a delicate UN-style political balance between glossies to make sure that these kinds of overlaps don’t happen. “Usually press offices are pretty good at making sure we don’t get the same dress as our rivals,” says Lorraine Candy – editor of Elle.

What a fabulous dress. The three fashion magazines may have slipped up, but they did their job in showcasing the Miu Miu dress on Eva Mendes, Lily Allen, and Freja Beha Erichsen in yellow, lilac, and tangerine.

Grab the dress now before it’s completely sold out – and it probably will be.
