ELLE FANNING: BULLETT EDITORIAL

It's easy to forget Elle Fanning is just 14 years old, especially when she photographs as beautifully as she does in this recent shoot for Bullett Magazine:

Modelling the likes of Jil Sander, Christopher Kane, Chanel, Rodarte and Giles like a PRO

The accompanying interview talks about her certain Virgin Suicides, Angela Chase-type quality, given her "tender, distinctly mid-’90s languidness" and I'd have to agree - something about that long, messy blonde hair, gangly adolescent awkwardness and slightly miserable coupin says young 90s Lux Lisbon to me, no?

I can't find information on Bullett's website RE credits, but whoever did the creative direction and post-production, MAD PROPS - totally loving the visual impact of these shots, and I normally find adding effects afterwards really pointless and distracting, but here it all makes sense. And ditto with the makeup... Anyone for a  glossy orange eye ?

The shoot and interview are promo pieces for the upcoming theatre release of Ginger and Rosa (think it's already been out in the US?) which looks decent...





However the GOFF (and Coppola fan) in me is more excited for Twixt, released in spring/summer time...





Grr!

DAKOTA FANNING FEBRUARY UK ELLE COVER

OK, so this is a shameless reblog, but I can't stop looking at how beautiful Dakota fanning is on the February subscriber's cover of Elle UK...

Those matte, velvety pink lips and nails are to die for, no?

I've always loved Dakota Fanning's look. Although younger sister Elle is classically more model-esque, Dakota's features are interesting, and there's just something about her face that draws me in...

Definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for this when it hits the shops.

Happy Hogmanay eve!

LOLITA LOVE

LOVE, the twice yearly fashion bible magazine known for it's multiple covers (and for featuring THAT kiss between Kate Moss and Lea T for their Androgyny issue) is again releasing several cover editions of its 6th issue - the Supernatural issue.

Promising 432 pages of discipline, obsession and desire, there's something distinctly Lolita-esq and Virgin Suicides-ey (eloquence personified, people) about the romanticised images of the three cover stars...

Hollywood teens of the moment Elle Fanning, Chloe Moretz and Hailee Steinfeld ALL look divine...ladies, dry those tears, you're beeeeeeutiful!

Personally, my favourite is Chloe Moretz's shot. The only closeup of the trio packs a definite punch - her expression is dead on, Tyra would be so proud - and those wee horns, what are they all about? Who cares, I love it. Can I just HAVE your hair Chloe?

What do you guys think of these covers? Which one is your fav?
