Thanks to We Are Handsome, you won’t need a sunburn to stand out at the beach this summer. The breakout swimwear collaboration from Aussie designers Indhra Chagoury and Jeremy Somers is a sight for sore eyes. Slick enough to go from poolside to party, the line of hand-made one-pieces is splashed with bold colours and retro-inspired imagery – we can’t wait to suit up.

Hey Pretty Baby With The High Heels On

When Chanel Iman walked into the office of icy perfectionist Anna Wintour, the coltish model was only 15 and didn’t realize she should be nervous. “I walked right up to her and kissed her on both cheeks,” she says. “I had just come from spending weeks in Paris, so I was used to greeting people that way. I didn’t know that this might have seemed a bit bold… The other people in the room were kind of stunned.” But Wintour obliged, and today Iman, whose fashionable names are, in fact, her given ones, credits the Vogue editor with shaping her early modelling career. “It’s funny; there’s so many experiences I’ve had with modelling that now, when I look back at them, were way bigger deals than I knew at the time.”
Since signing with her first agency in Los Angeles at age 12, Iman, now 20 and living in New York, has travelled the world extensively, walking shows for all the major houses, including Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Valentino, and gracing the pages of major magazines like Vogue, i-D, and Numéro. She’s been shot by an impressive list of heavyweight photographers, while most recently, she posed for Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for DSquared’s F/W 2010 campaign, a gig she’d wanted for a long time. And earlier this year, with the help of her mom, she opened The Red Bag, a clothing boutique in Culver City. “There’s so much more I want to do, so many more things I want to try,” she explains. And since Iman just signed with powerhouse agency Supreme, this luminous beauty is likely to walk fearlessly into a few more big deals. “I want to be the best,” she says, “and I’m not going to stop until I am.”

Kris Van Assche waxes lyrical about his creative vision for Dior Homme
Images ioulex Styling Nicholas Galletti Interview Elisabeth Fourmont
In 2007, Kris Van Assche was charged with the daunting task of replacing Hedi Slimane, the man who exploded the conservative world of men’s fashion during his influential seven-year reign at Dior Homme. Van Assche (who worked at Slimane’s side throughout most of his time at Dior, and before that, for two years at YSL) met the challenge by reversing almost everything Slimane was known for.
