Carine Roitfield and Mario Testino pay tribute to Elizabeth Taylor in V Magazine's September issue.  The Heroes Issue features cover star Kate Winslet replicating the star's legendary cat-like eyes and inside there's Lara Stone rocking a blonde wig while Stephanie Seymour does Liz bridal.  Earlier this year Harper's Bazaar featured a Mike Nichols / Richard Avedon collaboration which saw Winona Ryder and Marc Jacobs recreate Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf.  Winona is perhaps the closest but no one will ever really compare to the real thing.....

Corinne Day - THE FACE

A new exhibition celebrating the work of legendary photographer, Corinne Day, opens at the Gimpel Fils gallery this week.  Day, who tragically died of a brain tumour last year, shot the now iconic 3rd Summer of Love cover for The Face, starring the then 16 year old Kate Moss.   A key figure in the 1990's grunge era, Day's hard-edged, uncompromising style reflected the decade perfectly.  In The Face magazine Day seemed to find the perfect outlet for her heroin chic take on fashion imagery.  www.gimpelfils.com
