[BEFORE THE FAME] Guess what? Gorgeous models were gorgeous long before they were famous! Gasp, right?

Douglas Perrett, well-known casting director, put together some polaroids of models he saw between 2000 and 2010 and a few well-known (beautiful) faces popped up. His collection of pics are the subject of his book ‘Wild Things’.

Chanel Iman in Oscar de la Renta. There’s a great article on Oscar de la Renta over at NY Magazine’s The Cut blog. I loved what he says here: My role as a designer is to dress the comfortable woman, to make her feel her best. At times I remember back in the seventies when women’s lib, and women integrating herself in a so-called men’s world. A way to be part of that world is to dress in a pants suit in beige or gray. Today, a woman knows being a woman, feeling like a woman, putting on lipstick, feeling wonderful is very important. The power of her femininity is an important asset. I keep saying this is the century of the woman. Pic via.

[MAG FAB] So Boho

I’m so in love with this editorial in US Vogue’s March 2011 edition. It features some of the fashion industry’s top black models in bohemian inspired spring looks.

Styled by Edward Enninful and shot by Norman Jean Roy, models Ajak Deng, Joan Smalls, Jourdann Dunn, Arlenis Sosa, Chanel Iman and Anais Mali look absolutely amazing.

The models are shot alongside well known black creatives such as John Legend, Savion Glover, Antonio Douthit and Anthony Mackie.

Catch the behind-the-scenes video at Vogue’s website here.
