You rarely see beautiful magazine covers anymore which is one of the reasons I haven’t subscribed to one in quite awhile. No one makes anything beautiful anymore or unique. It’s always these close-ups of models or actresses. For fashion magazines to be more about art & creativity, the covers are pretty lame.
Remember this fantastic cover with Muhammad Ali? I know Esquire was not a fashion magazine but we can take a lesson from this. We need more props, we need more fun! This cover isn’t crazy-unique but it’s probably the most beautiful cover for a fashion magazine I’ve seen in quite some time. Step yo game up!

This is important: You Should Read IT «
This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and…

Craziest fun story I’ve read all day. This will set the precedent for the week.

Love this concept. And there’s more! It’s funny because I actually went to the mall this morning and it was a terrible experience as usual for me. I can never find my size (yes, I’m a pear), I think that salespeople take one look at you and wonder why you’re even in their shop, and I can never find anything so unique that I would want to purchase it. I’ll think to myself, this is cute but I’m sure I’ll see someone else wearing this. (yeah, I’m talking to you Forever 21 and your manufactured crap.)
When I was a kid, I hated shopping at the thrift store. My parents didn’t have money to throw away on designer duds. I thought it was embarrassing and everything just smelled weird. Now I crave the smell of moth balls and dusty old things. I would say over 75% of my clothes come from thrifting. I would say my books, records, and cute things to decorate my home with come from these place too. There’s lots of good stuff to be had and I don’t think it makes you all hipster. It makes you fashionable without the price. And it’s fun too! I think the next “vacation time” I have off, I’ll just hit up all the thrift shops from here to Austin to maybe even Houston to find the perfect, complete wardrobe. That would be an awesome trip!
SO FIERCE!
And the photography is stellar. The background looks like an impressionist painting rather than just a background, no? Nice touch.

This is my favorite dress I’ve ever seen Lily Allen wear. And she has a lot of great dresses.

And here are more obsessions about sweet portrait work. I don’t think I’d ever want to do fashion photography, but boy-oh-boy, do I admire it. Click through to see some more awesome (and very weird) photos by Richard Burbridge.
