V Magazine's 72-Page Dedication to Liz Taylor

Dying for the September issues of this year? Well here is just another reason to continue counting down the minutes. The upcoming September issue of V Magazine will not only showcase hundreds of pages of fabulous and fierce fashion, but this year the mag is said to be featuring a 72-page dedication to the late Elizabeth Taylor; a Hollywood icon that will forever have an influence on the world of fashion.

The issue's theme for September is "Heroes" and it is no suprise that Liz Taylor is one of the heroines of choice. She captivated thousands of audiences with her beauty and played muse to artists of all types.  Yet the big question is, who is the team behind such momentous dedication? Look no futher than world renowned photographer Mario Testino and the highly influential Carine Roitfeld; a match made in editorial heaven! There couldnt be a more more dynamic duo for such a project and I for one cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of issue.

Sweet Cheeks: Kate Moss Bares Her Bum For Vogue Brasil

Kate Moss is known for anything but being modest; she is edgy, sexy, raw, and a dominating force in the fashion world. Having walked for almost every designer, acted as the face of an innumerable amount of campaigns, and solidified herself as a muse to many industry members, Moss has once again captured every one's attention with her latest cover.

Shot by Mario Testino, Kate Bares all on the cover of Vogue Brasil's May '11 issue. Sporting smokey eyes, a pink pout, and gold cuffs Kate poses completely nude for the cover shot. While the ladies and south-of-the border are hidden, her bum is out for the whole world to marvel at. Some complain that cover is much too racy. However, this is Vogue Brasil where beauty is all about the bare body. And also, let's face it, this wouldn't be a true Kate Moss cover if it wasn't slightly controversial.

Cara Delevingne Makes You Wanna Bust Out Your Granny's Trench Coat

With her green eyes, bushy brows and blond, disheveled tresses, Cara Delevingne is a slightly off, classic beauty. Her name may sound familiar because of her sister Poppy Delevingne, also a model and a well-known socialite. However this 18-year old Brit definitely deserves acclaim all her own. Cara has been one of the main faces of international retailer ASOS and she currently stars in the Spring/Summer 2011 Burberry ad campaign, shot by none other than Mario Testino. If that doesn't amaze you enough, the girl has impressive street and red carpet style to boot. Cara's look expresses a striking blend of innocent and sexy; one minute she's your girl next door and next she's a sultry high fashion model. And boy, that Burberry trench coat never looked so fresh. Check out more of her pictures after the jump!

Kate Who?

So what happens when world renowned, respected and adored photographer Mario Testino meets the face, that is Kate Moss? Exceptionally beautiful photographs are taken. Obviously. And eventually 18 life size portraits are curated into a exhibition entitled Kate Who? Not only this, but to coincide with this exhibition a collection of these images have been published in a book titled simply, Kate Moss. The relationship that exists between the two is evident in each photo, and shows the awareness and familiarity that clearly progressed and grew over their two decades of working together. Whilst Mosses career is often documented, what is so very intriguing about Testinos work is the character that he has found in Kate. Testino is renowned for his glamorization of celebrity culture and how he plays with this. However these images vere away from this, the images are often less about the perfect fashion shot and more about tempting controversial ideas and themes. It is everything you would expect when you put one of the most talented, innovative, and creative photographers behind the camera, along with one of the most fashionable and beautiful faces in front of the lens.  So, KATE WHO?
