Heidi Klum by Francesco Carrozzini for Vogue Germany June 2009
In my last post I was telling you about Amber Rima’s blog Sprinkled In Pink and I couldn’t help but notice that she hearts Heidi Klum which is a nice coincidence since I love her too and Oh Joy! Project Runway has just returned.
I love the show. I watched seasons 2, 3 and 4 this summer waiting for season 6 (I even tried to watch Project Runway Australia for a bit but couldn’t go past the first 4 episodes or so, they just seemed to be bitching all the time and the truth is I missed Heidi and Tim).

So Vogue Germany devoted its June issue to Heidi. It’s truly “All About Heidi”, something like 70 pages with her, no other model, and 4 editorial spreads shot by 5 photographers from May 28 to April 3. Cover is by Francesco Carrozzini, fashion editorials are as follow : “Desire me” by Alexi Lubomirski, “Heidi” by Francesco Carrozzini, “Rodeo Drive” by Claudia Knoepfel & Stefan Indlekofer, “L.A. Confidential” by Paola Kudacki. (The latter was shot in the Harpel House by architect John Lautner.)
There’s a nice making-of of about 30 minutes which you can see here.

As you can see, I really love Francesco Carrozzini’s photos. But I also love that one by Alexi Lubomirski, because even though she’s a brunette, it still looks very much like her :

In fact, the whole story by Alexi Lubomirski “Desire Me” is very beautiful.
I chose only B&W photos here, but there are plenty of color shots. “Rodeo Drive” & “L.A. Confidential” seem to be all color while “Heidi” seems Black and White only. “Desire Me” is mixed. You can see 3 of the editorials here and the scans where a lot of the pictures you find on the web come from are here @ achAT’s fashion scans …

Carlton designed by Ettore Sottsass in 1981 for Memphis Milano.
I found this great article called “Memphis design style is back” while doing some research about Ettore Sottsass in early January when I learned he had died. I’m not in a writing mood these days so I guess I’ll just add a selection of photos and links here.
