Andrej Pejic For Dossier Cover Shoot; Watch The Video

Back to life! Apologies for the extended vacation. Coachella will do that to any good fashionista. Thankfully I've made it without a sunburn, unthankfully without a hot new desert boyfriend. But no matter, here's some more epic eye candy for boys and girls alike: everyone's fave androgyn model Andrej Pejic for arts journal Dossier's Issue 7. Shot by photographer Collier Schorr accompanied by female model twin Trina, the ambitious blonde alone makes the issue's cover.

While I'm anxiously waiting for an editorial where Pejic goes all out femme couture, this spread is still banking on Andrej's delicate beauty, effortless tomboy/Erin Wasson-esque style and what I like to call, "the confusing nipple." He's almost more of a beauty model than a fashion model, as stylists don't seem to do anything to transform or draw away from his natural looks. I guess there's really no reason to when he looks remarkable as is.

I was also pleased to see that photographer/filmmaker Andrew Kuykendall shot a breathtakingly sexy short film for Dossier where Andrej takes the male role. Andej in motion is a hundred times hotter than in photographs, he needs to be in a band. I had worked with Kuykendall years ago, back when I had delusions of being a model. Let's just say he's king of the sleazy motel fashion shoots, and his photos of myself, another girl, baby oil and her mother's lingerie shan't be revealed anytime soon. But an incredibly talented and fun photographer to work with nonetheless (cute too). Andrew also shot one of my favorite models Dylan Monroe back when he was a shy teen with a fierce look for a KidViskous feature in Kitten Magazine.

LOVE/LUST: Gaga-esque "Magic" Leopard Platforms

LOVE or LUST?
Magic Leopard Platform - $118, Nasty Gal
When I saw these booties, they just had to have their own LOVE/LUST feature. For $118, less than what most Jeffrey Campbell shoes sell for, it's a steal for the design. But what I'm unsure of is if I'd actually wear them? No doubt I like them, I'm absolutely nuts for them! But could $118 be better spent? With an EIGHT inch heel height, that makes out to $14.75/inch, while most mid-priced shoes would be double the price per inch.

Candy Tails: Vogue Australia's Electrofied Covergirl Hair

This goes straight to the top of my favorite Vogue covers ever! I doubt there has been a Vogue cover model with this kind of vivid haircolor (save Rihanna), but Vogue Australia's May 2011 issue kills it. Starring model Julia Nobis, this rising model is currently the face of Proenza Schouler, the butchier of a pair. The candy-coated accompanying editorial was shot by London-based photographer Kai Z. Feng featuring the sweetest of Spring 2011 from Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Prada and more.

Hair color has been on my mind this week, as I'm planning on going ombre thanks to star hairdresser Danny Rishoff of Byron & Tracy Salon. Keep an eye on this kid, he's going places fast! I haven't colored my hair in about four years, so I'm looking forward to a big summer change. With lighter tips, I might just do the high school trick and dye my hair with Kool-Aid for a bright (and literally sugary) color that washes out.

Lookbook Love: The Deliberate Disintegration of Coinonia

From fluid to stark, I'm struck by new label Coinonia's haunting lookbook for their Fall 2011 collection. Their designs have a deconstructed element to it that almost appears to be a natural state erosion. To contrast those disintegrating pieces, the designers bring stark angular shapes and silhouettes. Coinonia was freshly launched in 2010 in Paris by Japanese designer Momoko Hashigami and Korean designer Kiho Kim. Hashigami is a graduate of Central Saint Martins University of Art and Design, interned with John Galliano and previously designed for Antonio Marras. Kim was also a designer at Marras, which assumably is where they met.
