Meet the World's Hottest New Supermodel

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Lithuanian stunner Edita Vilkeviciute gets our vote as the girl mostly likely to be dubbed the world's hottest new supermodel. Her considerable allure is perfectly showcased in new editorial (above) shot by Greg Kadel for German Vogue. As Models.com notes, Edita not only echoes classic supermodels of the '90s - think Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington - who are enjoying a comeback just now but is "destined to become legendary in her own right." She stars in the new Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign and has also appeared in ads for the likes of The Gap, Dior Beauty, Emporio Armani, CK Jeans, Versace, Etro and Pringle as well as on the runway for Victoria's Secret and others.

The Art of the Nude Supermodel

by Jared Paul Stern (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Art, Books

Russell James has what is indisputably one of the best jobs on Earth - photographing naked supermodels for lots of money. The Australian lensman has shot numerous ad campaigns for Victoria's Secret as well as sizzling spreads for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. His amazing new XL monograph is just out from teNeues, publishers of the beloved Luxury series. Gisele Bundchen (on the book's cover, above) and Heidi Klum start stripping at the mere mention of his name, it seems. Aside from the eye-popping images, however - we wish we could show you some - James' story is also inspiring, as told in his introductory essay, "Trash Cans to Supermodels in Nine Easy Steps." Actually it's a lot more complicated than that. You can order a copy here.
