Amber Valletta | Steven Klein | W September 2011 | 'One for the Ages'

Perhaps Steven Klein’s provocative editorial of Amber Valletta in ‘One for the Ages’ for W September 2011 explains why Tom Ford and Carine Roitfeld’s infamous Doug and Clarissa shot to a top read out of nowhere today. Matthew Costsworth and Brian Shimansky play Amber’s young men, as she ages dramatically to 80 or beyond.

The September 2011 issue of W is the first full issue with Edward Enninful as the magazine’s fashion and style director and Lori Goldstein as style editor-at-large. To date, the new W is a blast of fresh air, perhaps picking up a bit of Carine Roitfeld provocation, dumped by Emmanuelle Alt at Vogue Paris.
