Nicola Formichetti's Muse Rick Genest AKA Zombie Boy for Vogue Hommes Japan

I wonder how long the media's obsession with Nicola Formichetti’s male muse Zombie Boy AKA Rick Genest will last?

I personally think he looks amazing so here is a Mugler spread for Vogue Hommes Japan, the magazine where Formichetti works as fashion director. Formichetti, of course, styled the shoot, which was shot by photographer Mariano Vivanco.

Stina Persson - Illustrator

Stina Persson is an illustrator based in Stockholm, Sweden whose clients include Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Sony and DKNY.

I love how her use of colour and tone work uniquely to create quite a striking graphic feel, something which is softened gorgeously with the use of varied brush strokes.

She has also worked for some of my favourite magazines Vogue Nippon, Harper's Bazaar, Flaunt, Elle UK and Nylon amongst others.

Three Cool Covers From Vogue Homme Japan, i-D Magazine & L’Officiel Paris For September 09

I just came across three covers for September I kinda liked so I thought I'd put them together in one post.


I love model Jana K's inventive hairstyle in this cover for L'Officiel Paris by Enrique Badulescu


Travis Hanson looks super bendy and super gay styled by Nicola Formichetti in nothing but Gareth Pugh boots for the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan shot by by Steven Klein.



Edward Enninful styled this cover for i-D magazine featuring some of the most beautiful black models around at the minute: Chanel Iman, Jourdan Dunn, Arlenis Sosa and Sessilee Lopez. The cover was shot by Emma Summerton. I know winking is the i-D trademark but they all look a bit like they're having a stroke...

Here is a making of video:

Hedi Slimane for Vogue Japan

'The Americans' is a shoot from the March issue of Vogue Hommes Japan by Hedi Slimane, with great styling by Nicola Formichetti. The lighting is absolutely gorgeous throughout so I had to share it. I am not sure what the significance of putting the model Victor Chambon in a wolf mask while he is holding two American flags is but I can probably take a guess. What do you guys think?
