Carolyn Murphy for Vogue Italia September 2012 by Steven Meisel

We absolutely adore Vogue Italia's creative license when it comes to their all important September issue. Remember last year's stunning Ethel Granger editorial with Stella Tennant? When we saw this year's editorial cover Face The Future we almost spit our coffee out! It's an ode to Julie Masking and the whole masking community! We're terrified and intrigued at the same time! Goregous Carolyn Murphy is superb in these shots by Steven Meisel. WOW! Holy fuck! It's so good and elegant & we love the juxtaposition of luxury country life with the undertone the masks bring to the table. Watch the amazing fashion film below + JULIE at her best. For more masking click here if ya dare! Anna Wintour put Lady GaGa on her September issue as we all know, last year was Kate Moss. Pretty safe names to say the least. That's why we love Italian editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani so much! Bella! Update: And now Channel 4 has a whole masking documentary.

Tilda Swinton By Xevi Muntané For Candy Magazine #4 + issue sneak peek

It's heating up to become the summer of extra extravagance in the name of CANDY! Luis Venegas beyond brilliant transversal magazine comes out with issue 4, starring multifaceted Tilda Swinton. How glamourous is that cover shot by Xevi Muntané? We're proud Candy-heads since issue 1, and we love how this magazine always brings together the industry's top creators to create effortless and stylish editorials that brings depth and engages in discussion. It's the go-to publication for anyone working in the world of style and fashion photography. The sneak peek inside the magazine promises greatness too! Marvellous! We're crazy for Steven Klein's Baby Boom editorial with its juxtaposition of a pregnant Chris Fawcett and S&M inspired fashion. Wow. Not to mention David Armstrong's recreation of images of himself shot by Nan Goldin. Simply stunning. And Juan Gatti's Transhispania is gorgeous styling and photography against a minimalistic backdrop. Love it! Once again we are blown away. For more Luis Venegas and Candy visit our older entries!

Feist - Bittersweet Melodies - Video Premiere

Irina Werning's photo project Back To The Future went viral last year. Not too surprising as it's a lovely idea and awesome execution. Now it's been given a second home as Feist's new video Bittersweet Melodies is made up entirely of the still images, combined with some behind the scenes from the shoots. The lyrics combined with the existing imagery makes perfect sense. So beautiful together! 

With their bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory
Bittersweet melodies
Can't go back, I can't go on (without those)
Bittersweet melodies

Madonna - MDNA Album Cover + The Tonight Show w Jay Leno

Madonna casually uploaded the album cover to MDNA o her Facebook page just a while ago. It's shot by amazing Mert & Marcus and directed by legendary creative director Giovanni Bianco (he did Confessions + Hard Candy too btw). We think this is a great, great Madonna cover - and more than worthy to be part of iconic covers such as True Blue, Erotica and her Madonna album. Niiiice! Also, she was the guest over at Jay Leno tonight, we'll upload the whole interview later, but for now here's a taster! 

Update: Here's the full Jay Leno interview! Enjoooy!

Madonna - Give Me All Your Luvin' - Official Single Cover

Madonna drops her new single Give Me All Your Luvin' (feat. M.I.A and Nicki Minaj) next week on February 3rd - with the video premiering the day before. Wow! It's so frickin' soon! Here's the official single cover - we like that it's so understated with a very casual styling. Nice! Obviously the world will explode like a glitter ball when M and her entourage perform the single at the Super Bowl on February 6th! M.D.N.A - the album is out March 26th! Exciting time ahead!

Update: Here's the very first sneak peek of the video! Pom pom!
