Vogue Italia - Celebrating Those Curves!

The internet is abuzz with excitement over the June 2011 issue of Vogue Italia, and luckily we get to share it with you thanks to the bits and pieces of lingerie we spy!  With a little help from Agent Provocateur, Dolce & Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti, three curvy models get the covergirl treatment in a luscious, sensual spread shot by Steven Meisel.  This is all part of Vogue Italia's efforts to promote body diversity, and hopefully part of an on-going goal to show that beauty is not just limited to the small worldwide population of lanky supermodels.  To us, beauty is really about attitude, no matter what your size...proof of that is in these photos!

Kevin Kramp featured in Vogue Italia's New Talents

Those international magazines can't seem to get enough of Kevin Kramp. The local men's knitwear designer has been all over European publications as of late, and now he's gotten some major exposure in fashion bible Vogue Italia. Its New Talents section of its website features an interview with the designer and slideshow of images, in which he reveals he has upcoming presentations in Paris and Singapore in June and September 2011.


I love his description of his personal style: “Frumpy and uninteresting with touches of sport, 1970’s-era geometric knits, and second-hand corporate promotional logoed garments from my father’s various work places.”

The busy designer is debuting his Fall 2011 collection in Minneapolis on April 14 as part of the MNfashion Week Shows; visit mnfashionweek.com for details and tickets.
