Wow, I’m actually liking this competely “normal” look on Gaga. Here’s a note from the editor: “Just as the Statue of Liberty was France’s gift to America, Gaga is, to us, New York’s greatest gift to pop culture and fashion. She embodies everything V is about, and is also a beacon of the city’s creativity and hope. Exactly one year after her first V cover (the first fashion magazine cover she was on), we decided to do the NEW YORK issue, and she was the first person who came to mind to represent our great city. In the year that’s passed, she has become a bonafide genius and we can safely declare her our muse. Above all, a New York issue should celebrate people who’ve done great things. We at V are grateful Gaga came along to put the New back in New York!”
“The New York Issue,” which features fashion and art in the most exciting city on Earth! Lady Gaga poses as the Statue of Liberty alongside designer Marc Jacobs for this cover, in which artist Dan Colen interpreted the iconic “V” using bubble gum as his medium. In total, V Magazine collaborated with 4 New York based artists for their creative take, and Colen’s is the first to be released for this exclusive preview. V67 hits newsstands TODAY, September 2nd.
A 2nd cover version stars Marina Abramovic (performance artist) and Tyson Ballou (model). Other notable NYers inside include supermodel Liya Kebede, hotelier Andre Balazs, Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters, Debbie Harry, Lady Bunny, Mark Ronson, Chloe Sevigny and MORE!
So you know that shoot we showed you for V-Magzine wih Terry Richardson? Well here is part two! V Magazine’s Size Issue will be on the newsstands everywhere Jan 14 2010. I am DEFINITELY feeling this shoot way more then the first, it is much more realistic, and it is just beautiful. This shoot is “Curves Ahead” shot by Sol Sølve Sundsbø.

V magazine previewed some photos from their issue “Page Six”, which is supposedly all about plus size models. It sounds like a great idea right? Like, let’s totally remember that not everyone looks like the average double 0 model, and that most women can be curvy. The only thing that happend me looking twice, was the fact that these “plus size” women, don’t really actually look like plus size. It could be a lot of nice touching up, but they look FREAKIN amazing and in gorgeous shape to me. Girl on the left just looks flat chested, and anorexic. Girl on the right looks in shape, and healthy, not to mention bigger busted. This “One Size Fits All” spread shot by Terry Richardson, Crystal Renn and Jacquelyn Jablonski. The “normal” model is put next to a “plus” size woman, “creating quite a sizeable comparison,” according to the press release. The point is to prove that “fashion can flatter any figure. Okay, can we just mention the sizes. Doesn’t look like a plus size and normal size measurements to me. Hmph.
Jacquelyn: 5 ft, 9 in; 32/24/34
Crystal Renn: 5 ft, 9 in; 36/31/41
