Que Sera, Sera

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be


Carine Roitfeld, Editor in Chief, French Vogue

When I was young, I fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be


Anna Wintour, Editor in Chief, American Vogue

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be


Emanuelle Alt, Fashion Director, French Vogue

Past meets Present, Part 1

The present is constantly borrowing from the past. Fashion, art and music are all known for finding inspiration from practices and trends that were created at an earlier date. Enjoy a couple of iconic photographs while looking fondly on the editorials that either consciously or subconsciously borrowed from them.

Helmut Newton Private Property 1992
Newton lightens up an otherwise erotic look with a pair of over sized bunny ears.

Natalia Vodianova photographed by Alastair Mclellan for Russian Vogue
Vodianova looses the leotard but keeps the tights. Louis Vuitton's bendable bunny ears become her and leave us dreaming of the early 90's.

Richard Avedon Portrait of Sandra Bennet 1980
Avedon's haunting portraits from his series documenting the American West will forever be remembered as photography at it's very finest.

Peter Lindbergh Kate Moss 1994
Always one to make anything look chic, whether it be heroin or rural America, Kate Moss' overall clad portrait by Lindbergh is just about as recognizable as Avedon's one above.
