In “we never saw that coming” news, Valentino hired Terry Richardson to shoot their latest accessories campaign. The image is shot in Terry’s signature style, a high contrast blown out image which really plays up the punch of the rock stud styles (and the rock star photographer’s tattoos). We give it a huge thumbs up and applaud creative directors Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri’s new direction from the hazy aesthetic we’ve come to expect from a Valentino ad. What do you think?
Our founder, Nevena Borissova, styled a Spring 2013 editorial featuring the hottest graphics of the season against the art-covered walls of Miami’s Wynwood Arts District with photographer Leonardo Corredor. Little did she know then that Wynwood Rising would land in Vogue Brasil along with a feature on her and how she’s built CURVE! Our friends at Image Amplified were kind enough to feature the shoot on their website, and we couldn’t be prouder of Nevena! Enjoy some bonus behind-the-scenes pix of the incredible art after the jump! Big thanks goes to Leonardo, Brandon Fogel from CURVE Soleil, Virginia Le Fay, Karina @ Front Management, El Chan Guri, Jona Cerwinske, Sancrisabel, Brisky Gallery, Dorst Gallery, and a special muito obrigado to Vogue Brasil!
Alber Elbaz has opted not to use runway models for the Lanvin Fall campaign, instead choosing to feature real women and men, ranging in age from 18 to 80. The images by Steven Meisel runs the human gamut as Alber took each subject’s story into account before deciding the theme of their portait in the apartment-like setting. Alber tells WWD:
“I was interested to bring these clothes back to the street somehow, and seeing how they look on different ages, different sizes. It felt like a crazy family, and I like that.”
Rumors are that the portraits include an immigrant, a waiter, and an elderly woman who always wanted to be a model. Alber made her wish come true.
We’re dying to see the rest!!

OK.
Here at Curve we have a slightly unhealthy obsession with Erin Wasson. Not only is she one of the sickest models to ever do it, she’s also a great client of the store and super friendly. So when these images appeared in our inbox we were super stoked because One Teaspoon is also one of our fave lines at Curve! With One Teaspoon’s cute separates and Erin’s rock and roll style, it’s a marriage made in heaven. Especially for us! Now maybe she’ll step up those store visits now…..

“Ummm….Naomi everyone….@ Place Des Vosges – NB”
Fannie Schiavoni’s Spring 2012 collection has arrived and we cannot get enough! You’ve no doubt seen her pieces on Rihanna and Lady Gaga, and this season’s offerings have pushed the boundaries even further. Building on her use of scales and chain mail as the heart of her collection, she’s now included clear and ombré PVC elements – giving the medieval armor-reminiscent pieces a softness never seen before in her work. These pieces are the perfect Valentine’s Day accoutrements and go great with Spring brights, but are in limited supply so come to Curve and armor yourself for Spring!
One of our favorite collections will have a reduced role in the upcoming Fall shows at Paris Fashion Week. Why, you ask? Pheobe Philo, the house’s creative director, is expecting her third child in April and wants to take it easy, WWD reports. The house has opted for a more informal presentation, possibly even in their showroom, however they will keep their original time slot on the calendar on March 4th at 1pm. While we’re sure the collection will be beautiful no matter what, we always look forward to Céline’s runway show…. but April’s production is obviously way more important*
