Cameron Diaz is on the July cover of Vogue UK 2010, she's disproving all rumors that you cant look hot in your 30's and beyond.  The 37 year old actress also stars in an editorial called "Little Miss Sunshine " shot by Regan Cameron and styled by Kate Phelan. Im not surprised to see Cameron on the cover as she has got two potentially huge movies coming out this summer, Shrek and Knight and Day, co-starring Tom Cruise.

A video of the shoot is after the jump.

Thought, I'd share this vid of Ed Stephens in Brazil. You might remember him from the "Renegade" photo shoot that we did. Here is Ed walking the runway for Brazilian label, Juss.

I wish I was in Brazil right now because the English weather can't decide if its Summer or Spring and keeps fluctuating between sunny days and  cold miserable ones.

I recently heard the Noisettes new single, “Ever Fallen In Love With Someone You Shouldn’t've ” which is a cover of the same song by the Buzzcocks and I was truly impressed.  What i didn’t now was that it was part of Dr Marten’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.

To celebrate 50 years the brand has  teamed up with bands from today to  recreate some iconic British hits from the past 50 years of music.

They are even offering free downloads of the songs via the official 50 Years of Dr Martens site.

The rumor mill is buzzing with news that British Supermodel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may be the replacement for Megan Fox in the new, Transformers 3 movie.

 Earlie this week Megan Fox confirmed that she  won’t be returning  to  play the role of Mikaela Banes. This has led to much speculation as to who will play  Shia LeBeouf’s love interest in the next movie.

Rosie Huntington Whitely worked with  Transformer’s director  Michael Bay during a shoot for Victoria’s Secret’s christmas commercial. Which is probably the reason for the new rumour. So far, the studio hasn’t confirmed or denied whether or not Rosie will be in the movie.  I guess only time will tell.

After a troubled year that saw Estrella Archs leave Emanuel Ungaro and Lindsay Lohan being taken on as a creative adviser Emanuel Ungaro has finally taken a step in the right direction. The brand has confirmed that Giles Deacon is their new  creative director.

This is definitely a better partnership than the ill fated alliance the brand had with Lindsay Lohan last year that was widely panned by fashion critics.

Giles Deacon's first show for Emanuel Ungaro will be held in October 2010.

Lots of blogs on the fashion blogosphere (even Fashion Indie)  have been reporting that the image to my left is from the  new Spring Summer 2010 campaign for  the Beckham's Signature by dvb Beckham fragrances. However, the ad isn't new, it first surfaced back in 2008.

Tyra Banks recently announced her return to modelling  and that she has re-signed with her modelling agency. She recently enlisted the help of American Vogue’s, Andre Leon Talley to help her pay tribute to the late designer, Alexander McQueen.

“When I heard of Alexander (Lee as he was called by his friends) McQueen’s passing back in February I was devastated. Not only was he one of my favorite designers, he was someone that I had been lucky enough to meet and was a wonderful human being. The day that he passed the world lost a truly amazing person. I knew that I had to pay him tribute in a special way. I also wanted to do a photo shoot decked out in “Head to Toe” McQueen.” - Tyra Banks

After watching the September Issue documentary I now have a slight obsession with all things Grace Coddington. In the documentary  Grace reveled that she had won a  modelling competition for Vogue in 1959.  Thanks to ModSixties the pictures of her two consecutive Vogue covers from 1962 have become available online. She covered th August 1962 and September 1962 images.

Not an easy feat to accomplish, infact I have no recollection ay other model having don* current  covers of the same magazine.

There is no doubt that  Kate Moss is the queen of Vogue. Three months doesn’t go by without her covering one of the international editions of Vogue. Next month is no different as  she stars on the cover of Vogue Paris, shot by Mario Sorrenti. 

Another amazing spread by Remi Rebillard. Its called captive and is a high fashion interpreation of captivity. It's the perfect combination of  raw sexuality and demure sensuality.  It was styled by Pipi Loose with artistry by Timothy Priano. Hair and Make up on Alana by Adi Sage and Davide Calcinai for Aksana . One of the most amazing editorials. I love how the first images justoposes the power of the cage with the delicate beauty of the model.

Initially, I was self-taught. I didn’t choose art at school, only academic subjects, although I felt my vocation was as a ‘creative’. So outside of my studies, I started drawing and painting. I also bought a camera and set up a darkroom in my parent’s house. I was then accepted onto the local foundation course at Cumbria College of Art and Design. I had a detour for a few years as a male model before eventually taking up my place there which led to me being accepted onto the BA course at Central St. Martins and afterwards the MA course at the RCA.

Long before there was Lady Gaga there was  Kelis. Despite my love for Gaga, I have to admit Kelis is the original  trendsetter of the aughties (2000′s), queen of couture and emerging fashion. This summer, the hip hop mould breaker, is going to be the face of  River Island’s Graduate Fashion Week womenswear pieces.

River Island will sponsor Graduate Fashion Week for the sixth consecutive year and has decided that, Kelis who was model scouted at the age of 14 and making music by 17 is the perfect fit for the brand.

“People need help and encouragement when they’re starting out. That’s why I think what River Island is doing with fashion graduates is so great. I don’t want to look like everybody else, you know?” - Kelis

The Graduate Fashion Week womenswear pieces will be sold in 40 River Island stores across the UK and on www.river-island.com from the 24th of May. Each item has been created by past Graduate Fashion Week students who are currently employed at River Island and embody the energy, quirky  aesthetic and originality of the brand.
