Model for Terry?

So we all know Terry Richardson is a controversial photographer. I don't think that is news to any of us...However, the fairly recent scandal involving him taking advantage of underaged models had me curious to see more of his work, so I clicked over to his home page...

I should have been more shocked to see this under the tab, "Model for Terry".


"Hello , if you are male or female and interested in posing nude for Terry Richardson please contact us by Email.

Please include your contact information , Phone number name and a photo ( a small jpeg) if possible.
You must be at least 18 years old and be able to provide a state issued ID at the time of the photo shoot."

Sorta twisted eyy?

I bet he gets emails daily.

Sooo here are some of Terry's classics. I figured I would put them up just for kicks.

Kate Moss and the sun.


Mary Kate Olsen


Oh hey it's Terry with Obama!

Yeahh he shoots lots of celebs. Unfortunately this makes a lot of young models willing to do almost anything to be photographed by him...

Everyone loves a villain now and then. He definitely has a unique style, there is no denying that! I bet his all this scandal just ends up just fueling his career...

Kloss on the Gloss

I was in disbelief when I saw the cover of the most recent issue of Teen Vogue. You are probably wondering, why would Meggasus be so stunned about this? Well, it's because I was expecting to see some sort of teen-bopper celebrity on the cover but instead, what I saw was the graceful, fresh face of the young and talented Karlie Kloss!




Finally, a high fashion model lands the cover of a popular American magazine! In my opinion, this is how it should be. One of my biggest pet peeves is how US magaines will use celebrities instead of models to increase sales. But come on!! Who wouldn't buy a cover like this?

Karlie first appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue in 2008 along with models Chanel Iman and Ali Michael. This really helped launch her career as a super model. Ever since, she's been gaining more and more fame within the industry, appearing in almost every issue of US Vogue this past year, as well as Vogue Italia. This girl is unstoppable!

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the editorial, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.


Karlie is the epitome of the fresh faced, all-american look....


Beauty shot!


GO KARLIE! ...check out those killer heels!!

Graffiti Artist Turned Fashion Designer...

"Claw Money" is a semi-underground, up and coming designer who got her start as a graffiti artist in Queens. Recently, she channeled her creativity for vandalism into a fashion design career.. Her signature tag is a fat paw with three claws, and can be seen all over New York City. She has a growing celebrity following which now includes Kanye West, Santogold and M.I.A. Claw Money has also worked on collaborations with Nike and even Calvin Klein.

"Claw Money" is shown below with her signature claw symbol on the wall behind her.


Take a look at some photos from her Spring/Summer 2010 Collection...!





Photos from The Lipstick Diaries
"Claw Money" is known for her cool graphic tees. If you look closely you will notice that she incorporates her signature claw hand into all of her designs. She has a line of accessories as well which I recommend taking a look at! The best way to describe her style is edgy and fun.

I can't wait to see what this graffiti artist turned fashion designer comes up with next!

Bottega Veneta S/S 2010 Campaign

Take a look at the Bottega Veneta S/S 2010 ad campaign featuring models Sean O'Pry and Anya Kazakova. When I first saw this campaign in the latest issue of Vogue, I fell in love with it. What I like the most about it is the unique color palette of teal, tans and ivory, contrasting with the bright red of the model's lipstick and dress.

Both models seem to be deep in thought. For some reason I picture the pair scheming about something... What is your take on this?








I like how these photos are somewhat blurry rather that crisp and defined. In my opinion it adds to the mystery of the photos, and makes them more visually interesting. The overall warmth, haziness and expressions on the model's faces work together to create a beautiful campaign with a very relaxed feel.

Perfect for Spring!

Happy Easter bloggers!!
In honor of the holiday, we decided to post the Miss Dior Cherie campaigns from previous years. They're very springtime-esque...with lots of pastels and sunshine! It's a lovely perfume. We highly recommend it.

Meggasus prefers the campaign with Lily Donaldson from 2007 and Katie-Lu prefers the campaign with Maryna Linchuck from 2008...which do you like best?


Here is the campaign featuring Lily Donaldson, photographed by Jean Baptiste Mondino.

Happy Easter!

A Swimmer's Worst Nightmare...

Steven Klein is a photographer notorious for his racy photoshoots. This one I recently stumbled upon in Italian Vogue... I will blog about Steven Klein more in the near future, but as of now just take a look at this shoot entitled "Rie". I think a better title would be "A Swimmer's Worst Nightmare." Although Steven Klein is one of my favorite fashion photographers, I'm honestly not a huge fan of this photoshoot. Not because it could be seen as its slightly disturbing (many editorials are), but because it seems somewhat random...but I guess it just goes to show you can have a photo shoot basically anywhere if you have the creativity to do so. In this case, Steven Klein took photos in his typical style (dark and slightly pornographic) on a pool deck.

This photo was the most ridiculous to me....I wonder what would happen to the old ladies in water aerobic class if this model decided to join.


What is this, Zena Warrior Princess pool edition?

Here is another one that I didn't quite understand...


That guy is totally checking out her you know what... And is that girl wearing a lampshade on her head?

Here are some more photos from that shoot.


Oh no it looks like that guy is forcing her to swimming drag tights at swim practice... ahhh!




That last photo is what reminded me of Klein's previous shoot, "Clorox Blue".

One positive aspect about this shoot that definitely caught my attention was how the models used in this editorial are very fit and have the bodies of swimmers. (Obviously appropriate for this particular photoshoot..!) It's a nice change to see models with defined leg muscles!

Let us know what you think! :)

McCabe Maddness: Our Favorite Fashion Vids

So, besides the occasional Remi Galliard video on youtube, the only other videos we really look up on the internet are various clips of fashion related interviews, shows, photo shoots, etc. So, we've chosen two of our favorite videos to feature on our blog :)

In case you haven't picked up on this up already, we are Coco Rocha obsessed on this blog. So naturally, our first and favorite video right now (and forever) is "Coco Makes Love to the Camera" by New York Magazine. Just look at how expressive she can get within just a few seconds. Anger, lust, happiness, saddness.......We're willing to bet money that this video will make some of you practice your facial expressions in the mirror.



The next video is of a photoshoot with model Natasia V and photographer Terry Richardson for Purple Magazine. If you ever think models just stand in front of the camera and do nothing, think again. In this video, Natasia proves that there is a lot more to modeling than what most people think. A model needs to have high energy, passion, and the ability to just let go of all inhibitions to take the best picture possible.



Hope you enjoyed the videos! We would love to hear what you think.
