I was checking out the new Japanese Elle magazine last night at Sunrise Mart on E. 9th Street - just for the photography and streetstyle and graphic stuff as I couldn’t actually read it. I loved the photos of New York it-girl Lizzy by Jean-Baptiste Mondino so I wanted to share them here. I especially like how they desaturated all of the color except for her carrot-top crop. This would be a cool move stylistically for a black/grey heavy runway show except that Gareth Pugh pretty much already did it last season, giving most of his black-clad models red/orange pigtail wigs. I’m also a big fan of little felt fedoras on girls - which Lizzy often rocks in her everyday look. The Chanel fedora here however is $1,125 which I’m not such a big fan of. xo eddie

I’m moving house at the moment and trying to decide which possessions will make the move with me and which are headed for that great recycling bin in the sky. One thing that will definitely be coming with me is my magazine collection. Yes, they are heavy and a bit unwieldy but it’s worth carting them to the new apartment for the pleasure and inspiration they bring. I think of a great magazine with great photography and great writing as a work of art and not something to be tossed lightly aside. My favorite magazine of the year so far is the current issue of French Playboy with Lou Doillon on the cover. Her photos inside by Takis Bibelas have more in common with a Helmut Newton shoot than they do with anything you might see in an American “men’s” magazine. The entire issue is a special fashion issue. There is also a great article with cool photos of the neon and rough edges of Paris’ Boulevard de Clichy. The Juergen Teller photo story in the issue is unmissable as well. - x eddie

Vanity Fair’s September Style Issue features the magazine’s 68th Annual International Best-Dressed List- women, men, couples (kill me), fashion professionals, fashion originals and additions to the Hall of Fame. Largely, their choices are just short of ridiculous, as this list could also be titled “People Who Dress Well Because They Were Born Into Money,” but whatevs, right? I dipped into Stylesight’s Celebrity Fashion category to find pics of some of the winners, so you can see for yourself who Vanity Fair considers to be the Best-Dressed.
