> A MAGIC WORLD

Tim Walker is a London Based fashion photographer who began working as a documentary and portrait photographer for various UK newspapers, eventually leading him to work for British Vogue, W and Harper’s Bazaar. Currently Walker shoots for W, Vanity Fair, British and Italian Vogue. Check out his spread from Vogue Italy Jan 2008. The model has one foot in the grave but the colours just jumped out of my chalk pastel set and remind me of fairy parties, art class and summer. Love it.

> BELINDA ZOLLO

Makeup Artistry is one of the most under rated, under publicised professions I know of. Or at least it was when I was growing up. Here’s an example of a Melbournite making it in NYC. Belinda Zollo’s worked with the likes of fashion photographers Paolo Roversi, David Sims and Bruce Weber. As well as Makeup Artists Lucia Pieroni and Stephane Marais.

> VOGUE’S GRACE

Any newspaper you flicked through on the weekend would have had a film review or article about The September Issue. Director R.J Cutler and his crew spent 8 months in and around the Vogue office in the shadow of Anna Wintour. Cutler didn’t go in with any particular M.O. just the intention of being a fly on the wall, providing an insight into the daily rigmarole of the office. Enter Grace Coddington, Vogue’s Creative Director.

After spending the first couple of months locked out of Grace’s world – Wintour insisted the camera crew go on a shoot with her. Much to Grace’s displeasure. She new she could do nothing about it so chose to embrace the opportunity. And so R.J. had his story. The continuous cheeky tug of war between two women on the same side. Result: Anna Wintour – fabulous editor at any cost. Grace – heart & soul, the storyteller. And if you don’t have a story you’ve got nothing to edit.

The preview only gives us a snippet of Grace. So I found more.
