Gucci F/W 11.12

While the photographs are certainly and obviously done by Mert & Marcus, who seem to be doing every editorial, the sexy atmosphere is infinitely better than what has been going on the past few season. Also, heads aren’t tilted back and the styling is much more tolerable than the runway. I feel like I’m on a roll here with the compliments. Let’s see. Abbey doesn’t look as emaciated and of the walking dead that she has been looking lately. Definitely a plus. Keep that up, but unfortunately over-processed photographs don’t translate into real life. Really, just eat a sandwich. It will all be better, child. One more thing: More Joan, please.

Abbey’s Decline

I’m not even going to bother posting the magazine cover of Abbey eating bread, because I’m certain the crumbs on her lips are the only food she has consumed in a long, long time. I love Abbey, I really do, but Lagerfeld’s grasp is quite clutching and I’d like him to let go. She’s not herself anymore and he’s apparently drained her youth.  Take away her hollow face and this cover is decent with the gorgeous Spring 2011 Christian Dior gown. Maybe if she went back brunette it would at least be a start.

Eat a sandwich, darling. A coffin and the living dead is not chic, despite what Twilight tells us.

Numéro May 2011: Abbey Lee

I really cherish Karl Lagerfeld. He’s a glistening diamond in the rough, but whenever he brings models into his crowd, they change severely. Abbey was so adorable before this gaunt, bleached out phase she’s going through now. Sure, she looks wonderful on the cover in my favorite flowing Lanvin, but I really just want to caress her now, peroxide white, thin locks and tell her to go back to the lovely Abbey we once all knew and loved.

ck one: Lara, Abbey, Fei Fei, River

Albeit Lara is the best, these are the only campaign videos I care about from the latest ck one campaign. There’s only so much bad dancing we can process, but Lara, Abbey, Fei Fei, and River are some sexy human beings that bring the cK brand back to a youthful life, reminiscent of what Kate brought long ago.

Tom Ford Eyewear: Abbey Lee

When Abbey Lee went peroxide blonde during S/S 11 runways, I really thought nothing good could have come from it. She’s an adorable girl and her locks were already the perfect shade. Well, Tom Ford proves that this bombshell brings sophistication and infinite sex appeal to his eyewear campaign. The dramatic cat eyes and the exaggerated sunglasses emit class. There are only two things that could make this better: Nicholas Hoult and for that crystal necklace to be in my possession, please and thank you.

Vogue Paris: Pussy West

In Tom Ford’s issue of Vogue Paris, Crystal Renn, Abbey Lee, and Eniko Mihalik star as outlaws in Pussy West, a wild west wonderland referencing Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and probably Back to the Future’s DeLorean. What fantastical usage of Givenchy HC and Louis Vuitton Fall 2010. This is one group of outlaws I’d thoroughly running into trouble with.

**Outtake includes Tom Ford and Terry Richardson laying one on each other. Awkward or oddly sexy? I’ll go with awkward.

i-D: Kate, Kanye, Abbey and Dree

I just don’t understand what they’ve done to the covers of i-D as of late. I don’t like the logo, I don’t like the filter on Kate’s, and overall it is basically just a hot mess. Abbey’s cover is terribly silly while Dree’s reminds me of Sasha Pivovarova’s H&M ads last winter. And Kanye’s? No comment.

The Big Chill

How laughably tacky and horrendous is this? I knew this had to be shot by the eye and hands of Karl and was I ever right. Abbey Lee looks wonderful and at the same time, makes me cry and reflect on all of the good times when her hair more natural like shown here; not bleached out and terrifying. She’s an adorable creature and shouldn’t succumb to over-processed hair, bad bangs or even a blast of makeup on high. So catalog.

Abbey Lee Kershaw: Vogue Italia August (NSFW)

Another black and white fashion editorial with the model exposing herself. The model here is Abbey Lee and she’s always so pretty. While the concept is far from being new and innovative, I can’t help but to love it. Abbey is so magnetizing. The sheer fabric in a noir, shadowed photo is exceptionally striking. Even with what would seem as random and unnecessary nudity you notice her range of emotions. She plays innocent to seductress and I rather enjoy that her emotions add to the appeal of the beautiful tulle, organza, fur, etc. Beautifully done.
