I have a few top fashion photographers who’s work I typically covet (Hedi, Terry, Meisel) but Mario Sorrenti is hands down one of favorites.  He does nude and provactive like none other.  One of his latest shoots featured in Interview Magazine with model Iselin Steiro is nothing short of amazing. It appears to have been shot in a raw studio with tons of props to develop the imagery. Not to mention the impeccable styling – the layers are insane! I’m in love.

New York based designers Nina, Jeff and David better known collectively as the twentyten are back with their third collection for spring 2010. The all black collection is comprised of strong shoulders, zippers, faux fur and tattered yarn details which turn things up a little. It’s the perfect balance between basic and fun.

(Top Shop Core Line)

Everyone’s favorite store is launching it’s own cosmetics line. In May, the full lineup is slated to launch in Topshop’s top 30 doors, including its U.S. outpost, and on the retailer’s Web site. The core collection is 97 stockkeeping units strong and is designed to mix whimsical design with bold color. Pencil-like doodles decorate putty-colored packaging and the black outer carton features an illustration of the product inside, designed by Sarah Thorne, Topshop graphic and packaging designer. “It’s playful, almost like the Topshop girl drew it herself,” said Lizzie Dawson, a Topshop designer who led the line’s in-house development. Topshop tapped Intercos to manufacture the products. Topshop plans to augment the core line four to six times a year with the trend range, a collection of about 16 items, that Homer described as, “more adventurous.”
