V Magazine: “New Fans: Little Monsters, Nominated by Lady Gaga”

To call Lady Gaga’s adoring legion of followers mere fans would be a criminal understatement…Meet a few of our favorites from an online open call we hosted last November. The results of an exclusive V online casting call are published in a collage of Little Monsters, with hundreds of fans paying tribute to Lady Gaga.  After, 8,000+ submissions, here are 200 of the very best!

The Smith Westerns in V Magazine #69

V Magazine: “New Band: The Smith Westerns, Nominated by Ryan McGinley”

In the year and a half since they released their self-titled debut (most of which was recorded in Kakacek’s basement), the trio has toured the world with fellow indie rockers Girla, been kicked out of Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg (reportedly for peeing in the garbage cans), and won the affection of influential fans like Ryan McGinley, who recently sat down with the trio in New York City to talk about their past tour, new album, and overall rock aesthetic.

Sam Adams by Hedi Slimane in V Magazine #69

V Magazine: “New Rapper: Sam Adams, Nominated by Hedi Slimane”

The 23-year-old rap sensation boasts the kind of success story that both inspires and infuriates other aspiring musicians. When asked how a college student from Boston goes from being unknown to selling out 3,000 capacity venues in less than a year, Adams himself can only laugh and say, “You know, it just kind of happened.”

V Magazine: “New Ingenue: Elizabeth Olsen, Nominated by Chace Crawford”

Unlike her famous child-actor sisters, this is her first real kick at the can. Instead of using their near-infinite connections, Olsen has taken the long road – studying acting, educating herself, working as an understudy.

V Magazine: “Best of 2010”

What do you call a year that saw tea-party takeovers, trapped miners, mosque mania, oil spills, bad sequels, evaporating equity, and Oprah pulling the plug on her own talk show? A step up from 2009. But amid all the head-scratching headlines and shifting hemlines, the people and things on this page made us laugh, cry, and go “aww” through it all.

Inside Top Fashion Desginer’s Creative Process on NOWNESS.com‏

John Galliano

[My sources of inspiration] are very English. They are a combination of moods, muses and moments. It is high-tech romance with a twist. It could be literature, art or music. I love street culture, uniforms, Savile Row. I love it all. Men or women. Dead or alive.

NOWNESS.com presents exclusive images from Hywel Davies’ soon to be released book, Fashion Designers’ Sketchbooks. Through interviews with designers, mood boards, sketches, photographs and other inspirational material, Davies offers a chance to witness the fashion design process behind the end product. 



Fascinated by the journey from concept to runway, Hywel Davies—a lecturer at London’s esteemed art college Central Saint Martins and the ex-editor of Sleazenation—has compiled 'Fashion Designers’ Sketchbooks', published by Laurence King on September 29

Dries Van Noten

One of a multitude of different ways I begin a collection is to take something I do not find immediately alluring and transform it into something beautiful or challenging. Mauve has never been my favorite colour, yet my disdain for the tone forced me to create a collection mainly in mauve.
