Lauren Hutton Likes Tom Ford’s Films More Than His Fashion

She walked in his fall 2010 namesake women's wear debut that seems to have given everyone in the room a wild orgasm. It doesn't sound like she had a wild orgasm herself when he called and asked her to participate:"He said, 'I'm going back to fashion.' I said, 'Oh no, why? I like your work, but I love your movies!' But, anything for Tom, and he knows that."{Harper's Bazaar}

Does Rafael Nadal’s First Armani Jeans Ad Make You Feel a Little ... Stiffed?

Fine, this ad is meant to sell pants, which could explain why the fine people at Armani— who had the genius idea tocast Rafael Nadal in the campaign— chose to leave most of his torso out of it. But you know what sells jeans even better than a sculpted tush?Abs. A nice eight pack, and maybe, if they're on the right person, a six pack.

Patrick Mohr’s Creepy Runway Makeup; Angelina Jolie’s Golden Globes Lip Gloss

MAKEUP
• Patrick Mohr, the German designer who sent molting bearded ladies down his runway last season, has come up with an even creepier makeup look. At his latest show, he glued models’ mouths together and put plaster over their eyebrows. {BellaSugar}

• In case you were wondering what kind of lip gloss Angelina Jolie was caught reapplying during the Golden Globes, it was Chantecaille’s $28 Brilliant Gloss in Love, a soft pink shade. {InStyle}

• Tarte just released a new line of Amazonian Clay Long-Wear Blushes, which have a doughy consistency and are an alternative to the brand’s popular cheek stains. {Beauty Counter/Style}

• Celebrity makeup artist Nathan Johnson speculated on how much man makeup Justin Bieber was wearing during his appearance at the Golden Globes.“He may have used a liquid highlighter or a brightening primer, but I suspect there is more to it than that. I’d be willing to wager that he was either airbrushed or is wearing a very sheer layer of liquid/cream foundation. And he’s wearing blush.” {Fashionista}

FRAGRANCE
• Julian Rouas Paris is launching a perfume duo in homage to the late Michael Jackson, called Jackson’s Tribute for men and Jackson’s Legend for women. Not surprisingly, both scents have been licensed by Michael’s father, Joe. {Independent UK}

SKIN
• Aesthetician Kate Somerville, who used to assist Elizabeth Taylor’s personal cosmetic dermatologist, claims that Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe both shaved their faces regularly. They weren’t whiskery, they just did it for the exfoliation it supposedly provided. {Beauty Counter/Style}

Meet the New Girl: How Julia Saner Went From Winning a Modeling Contest to Becoming a Face of Valentino

Two years agoJulia Sanerwon the 2009 International Elite Model Look contest. The now 18-year-old Swede's prize included a contract with Elite Paris, which would lead to her signing withPaul Rowland'snew Ford Models editorial division in 2010. During the spring 2011 shows, Saner skipped New York and London Fashion Weeks, and debuted at the springGuccishow in Milan. Before the week was over, she made high-profile appearances atFendiandRoberto Cavalli. But Saner's major coup was booking the first look atValentino, which led to her becoming one of the label's spring 2011 faces, alongsideFreja BehaandCaroline Brasch Nielsen. Soon after that, she was on set with Mario Testino for a spread in next month'sVogue. Look for Saner on only the best catwalks at New York Fashion Week next month.

Tell us a little about your childhood.
I grew up in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, with my family. I still have a wonderful relationship with all my siblings (my younger brother who is now 15, and my older half-brother and half-sister), as well as with my parents.

Your major breakthrough happened when you won the Elite Model Look contest— what was that like?
For the world final I flew to Sanya, China, and met so many beautiful girls from all over the world.

You have the day off tomorrow; what would you like to do?
I'd like to meet with my friends, visit the city, and take lots of photos to collect memories. I also like to write in my diary, go jogging, and play the piano.

Tell us something about modeling most people don't know.
There are so many prejudices about being a model. For example, the assumption that models are dumb and that most have not graduated from school. Conversely, the notion that models have this easy, luxurious jet-set lifestyle and don’t have to do more work than“standing and looking pretty in front of the camera.” Those are so far from the truth. This career is a lot of work and you have to be smart to really succeed!

Describe your style in three words.
Comfortable, sporadic, and genuine.

If we looked in your purse, what would we find?
A lip balm, a bottle of water, my BlackBerry, my wallet, my diary/notebook, and my camera.

If you could meet anyone dead or alive, who would you meet?
It would definitely be Marilyn Monroe. Although some people have a misconception that she was nave and superficial, very few pay attention to the fact that she wrote poetry and read a lot of books. She was much more than just a sexy actress.

Tell us something random and totally weird.
I always have to reapply the adhesive tape that I’m using on the broken“enter” button on my BlackBerry so that it doesn’t fall out and get lost!

Favorite thing about being a model?
The traveling that you get to do is incredible. I feel like I’ve been given an unprecedented opportunity to meet interesting people from all around the world and make great life experiences at the same time.

Worst thing about being a model?
Being alone can become difficult. It’s a small price to pay, though!

‘Two People in Love Have a Glow and a Presence More Powerful Than Anything Else’

Of course that sentence ran inVogue(February 2011), as told to Hamish Bowles by Mario Testino, describing the engagement shoot he did for Prince William and Kate Middleton in Buckingham Palace. Testino says that he knew the pictures would come out well, not necessarily because he's The Testino but because Kate"has a natural grace, a very open personality, and a beautiful face and posture."Testino had also noticed previously"how beautiful she usually looks in the press and how stylish she is, with a preference for simpler clothes that show off her great figure."Apparently that Reiss dress Middleton wears in the official engagement portrait— thereby inspiring Reiss tore-releasethe dress— was kind of his idea.

From the looks Catherine brought, we thought a favorite simple white dress would be best for the more formal picture. Two people in love have a glow and a presence more powerful than anything else, and I wanted that to be the subject of the picture, not what they were wearing.

We'd say Kate's dress was more than half the focus of the photo, with the love between them rounding out the rest of it, while Prince William's suit gets maybe .0000000000000001 percent of the focus (or maybe that figure's too generous?).

Testino goes on to talk about his roots growing up in Peru, and how his photographic style evolved when he moved to London:

After 30 years of living in England, I have mixed together these two cultures— the formal, dressing-up side of Latin America and the relaxed side of Britain— and ended up with a sort of"reality glamour."

Oh, so, maybe that's whatVoguetoday is all about. Makes us feel a little better about not"getting it."

Nicola Formichetti Wanted to Show a‘Flawed Superhuman’at His First Thierry Mugler Show

For his first collection as creative director of Thierry Mugler, Nicola Formichetti explained via press release that he was"looking at a chink in the armour of the Mugler type in the clothing and the person."Naturally, this led to hishighly publicized casting of Rick Genest(also known as Rico), who Formichetti describes as"a sort of flawed superhuman— still extraordinary but not untouchable ... I suppose if you wanted to look at Rico’s role in this he's like a literal, visual interpretation of what is under the skin as well as a celebration of what is covering it."

Lady Gaga was also quoted in the show notes:

Blood pumps through Nicola’s veins like perfume and cigarettes. His brain throbs with misfit royalty, glamour as punk survival, attitude as liberation, style as revolution. Thierry Mugler has a way with legendary lifestyle and Nicola is just that: Epic Lifestyle, Freakdom, Gorgeous or Die, the‘fuck’ in future poetry, the street in High-Fashion. Nicola Formichetti is Fashion’s Freedom. I love him, my friend the genius, my collaborator, more than any piece of clothing or closet I possess. But don’t tell him I said that, he’ll die. He picked them all out.

Drag Someone Across the Floor in the Spirit of Lanvin

Lanvin's spring 2011 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel, may be our favorite of the season, because there's nothing better than two models fighting. ModelsIselin SteiroandKinga Rajzakclaw at each other and drag each other across the floor by their ankles, in a room filled with nice plush cushions and fur rugs that would be great for"movie night."The concept of two women fighting over Lanvin makes perfect sense and actually quite accurately embodies how many ladies and real-lifeGossip Girltypes feel about the brand. It also capitalizes on the same raw hot lesbian sex appeal that madeBlack Swanso intriguing. Will spring 2011 become the season of the catfight? Contemplate with our behavioral study of the campaign in the slideshow.

Sarah Burton Deliberated Taking the McQueen Job for Weeks

While chiefs of PPR— which owns theAlexander McQueenlabel— including McQueen CEO Jonathan Akeroyd, Gucci Group CEO Robert Polet, and PPR CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, urged Burton to head design after the designer committed suicide nearly a year ago,"For quite a long time I didn't want the job,"she says."I thought: how would I ever even begin to begin? Lee's mind was so different to everyone else's. I knew there was no way I could pretend to be him; but I had to ask myself, what did Lee work for? For all this to close down? I thought about what I wanted. What was best for me. Like many women my age, I do want children, but I came to think that that's not a reason not to take up a challenge. In the end, I decided to just get on with it: do my best."Read more in the print edition of BritishVogue's February issue, in which Burton also reveals this about her job interview with McQueen,"I remember Lee asking me, 'Do you believe in UFOs?'"

Best Bet: Maybelline’s One by One Mascara

Mascara has been subject to a wide array of attempted improvements over the years, fromvibratingand spinning wands to spiked, curved, and angled brushes. Few deliver results that justify the hiked-up price. Maybelline’s new One by One Volum’ Express mascara trumps the usual drugstore brands with a gimmick-free, thoughtfully designed wand. It touts denser, thinner bristles than the typical brush and a slightly rounded shape to sweep long lashes upward while eliminating clumping. The new line is available in three washable and two waterproof shades.

The Times’Critical Shopper Is Not a Fan of the New Converse Store

TheTimes' Jon Caramanica had his doubts about Converse shoes even before he visited their new Soho store:"About 10 years ago, Converse collaborated with John Varvatos on a modified, somehow-more-casual take on the Chuck by making it a slip-on with no laces, only empty eyelets to emphasize just how carefree and slick you are. Already a simpleton, it became a dullard. It is my least favorite shoe, lower even than Crocs."Unsurprisingly, the new footwear failed to sway him:"They looked moist. I slipped them on and immediately felt terrible. The rubber soles were unforgiving, the side-to-side slide untenable— and I hadn’t even looked in the mirror yet ... I took a quick glance and retreated. At least the shoes were easy to get off."{NYT}
