Kanye West definitely set precedent last Friday by dropping his Good Friday track, because this week has definitely been Monster … in the world of fashion at least. Let’s start with a Popbytes favourite – V Magazine, the NY issue. I’m sure that y’all have seen Marc Jacobs and Gaga on the cover, but the actual spread is somewhat awesome too and definitely worth a look – you’ll spot the likes of Mark Ronson, Lady Bunny, the incredible performance artist Marina Abramovic, Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Debbie Harry, and Chloë Sevigny.
Undeniably the biggest news of the week (so big, in fact, it was trending on Twitter) was the announcement of a collaboration between H&M and Lanvin. Bring on November 23 – this is also the release date of Nicki Minaj‘s debut album, Pink Friday – so you KNOW that day is going to be good. Fashion legend, Alber Elbaz is designing the ladies’ collection while Lucas Ossendrijver is designing the men’s. Check out the YouTube clip below:
To wrap things up, I will leave you with a bit of eye candy on a Friday before a long weekend, here’s Matthew McConaughey in the ad for Dolce & Gabbana‘s new fragrance, The One Gentleman and Chace Crawford on the cover of Germany’s GQ Style. Oh and if you want to follow Posh Beckham‘s antics during New York Fashion Week, she is finally on Twitter – @vbfashionweek!
