Beauty (Tips) In Black & White - i-D Magazine

i-D Magazine serves up a dose of raw fashion beauty with a trio of editorials for its October issue. "Stop Being So Insecure," "Stop Smoking" and "I Like Mint Flavor Lip Gloss" brings together a mixture of legendary and upcoming models including, Kristen McMenamy, Liya Kebede, Julia Stegner, Jourdan Dunn, Lara Stone, Carmen Kass and Joan Smalls, and presents them in beautiful black & white format, nearly bare. The editorial also serves up some simple beauty tips from the models themselves. The other striking thing about this ed are, strangely enough, the nipples. They're quite strange and interesting on some of the models. They definitely make you go hmmmmm....but in an interesting way.

Sean O'Pry - i-D Magazine Eyes This Undeniable Beauty

This man is beautiful in ways that I can barely comprehend. He's just...stunning. Absolutely...STUNNING....*drools* I...I can't even type. Just read the article in the images...*continues staring*













*Side Lipton: I LOVE the fact that O'Pry is southern boy from MY states own Kennesaw, GA. I feel that much closer to him.*

The Beauties of the THRILLER!!!

It has finally arrived. i-D magazine's highly anticipated editorial featuring Sessilee Lopez, Chanel Iman, Arlenis Sosa Peña and Jourdan Dunn has hit the internet and it's every bit of FIERCENESS that I thought it would be. The editorial, "Thriller," takes subtle inspiration in both style and title from the classic Michael Jackson song about zombies, ghouls and goblins and creates a shadowy world of mood and fashion as shot by photographer, Emma Summerton. Set to both black & white and color images "Thriller" casts these four models as dark, brooding creatures on the gritty downtown streets of the U.K.

*Those shoes are sooo impractically SICKENING!!!*

It's gritty. It's edgy. It's AMAZING. By far the best editorial I've seen this month and just like its namesake, it's sure to be a classic.

P.Y.T. for i-D Mag

British fashion magazine, i-D, has chosen the world's top 4 black models (Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn, and Arlenis Sosa Peña) to grace their September "Pretty Young Things" issue. The cover, which was inspired by 80's era of B-Boy Hip-Hop, R&B girl groups and loud make-up, was shot by the amazing Emma Summerton and styled by Edward Enninful.

For anyone with a knowledge of the fashion industry's continuing history of racism this is a landmark cover. Most black models find it EXTREMELY difficult to land magazine covers, especially during September when fashion magazines publish their biggest issues (Editors think black models can't sell to a broad audience...HA!). These girls served it (Work Chanel!) and they're definitely giving me something to look forward to in the coming weeks. Be sure to check your local newstands and pick up a copy of the "Pretty Young Things" issue when it hits a news stand near you. Until then let's jam to some Michael Jackson

Pretty young things, repeat after me
