Isabeli Fontana | Mario Sorrenti | Vogue Paris October 2011 | La Deesse

Isabeli Fontana strikes a smoldering presence, lensed by Mario Sorrenti in what we believe is his first Vogue Paris editorial under Emmanuelle Alt. (Must check that.) Alt dresses Isabeli in slick, body conscious bombshell fashion, Versace style.  The editor in chief promises that Vogue Paris will get some sensual verve back in this October 2011 issue. To be determined. Other designers featured include Mark Fast, Mugler, Yves Saint Laurent, Poggi and Revantic.

Isabeli Fontana | Vincent Peters | Vogue Italia September 2011

Isabeli Fontana and Vincent Peters reunite in a poignant, forties-style editorial with plenty of unspoken sensual tension that ends on a curious note of ambiguity. The 17th photo, which comes last in the editorial, is either one of the worst retouching jobs ever,  or a photo that sums of the entire editorial.

Only because this is Vogue Italia, with fashion styled by Valentina Serra, do I believe that the last image in ‘Suggestions’ is not sloppy beyond belief. But we all know that I can overread editorials on rare occasions. Anne

Isabeli Fontana | Inez & Vinoodh | Donna Karan Fall 2011 | 'The Power of a Woman'

In the real world Isabeli Fontana might be ensconced behind closed doors, getting sage advice on how to save her Smart Sensuality woman career from the gossip mongers calling her a homewrecker a la Angelina Jolie (another Smart Sensuality woman) and Jennifer Aniston.

We suspect the folks at Donna Karan are enjoying the publicity, with no serious worries about any downside drama connected to Rohan Marley, father to Lauryn Hill’s five children but perhaps not her sixth delivered today.

Isabeli — twice-divorced with a child from each marriage — and Marley are tweeting love notes to the world. Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley are circumspect in one of those “it’s none of our business” life episodes.

Of course when you’re a Donna Karan woman who makes a difference, as Isabeli does in these timeless images of a woman on the go, lensed by Inez & Vinoodth in a New York press meeting, attending a glitterati evening, and running around town in a limo, with no pants on — but wearing that DK staple body suit — the devil is in the press details.

This Fall 2011 campaign ‘The Power of a Woman’  references the Fall 1992 campaign that featured Rosemary McGrotha being sworn into office. Those were the real supermodel years when women still believed we could do just about anything. That is the brand DNA of Donna Karan. It’s great seeing her go back to it.
