Tom Brokaw Talks Style and Character with StyleList

Posted Apr 2nd 2009 at 12:33PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Books

tom brokawThe Character Project is an exploration of America, sponsored by USA Networks as part of their ongoing celebration of "characters." The project includes a traveling photo exhibition, with work from 11 photographers who traveled across the country, capturing the spirit – and character – of our country.

There is also a gorgeous book, published by Chronicle Books, with almost 200 pages of the color and black and white photos, and a foreword by seasoned character-observer, Tom Brokaw. Mr. Brokaw was gracious enough to take the time to chat with us about the Character Project and share his thoughts on how style relates to character. He even admitted to some style experiments of his own, back in the 70s!

"Natural Fashion" Book Review

Posted Feb 19th 2009 at 12:02PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Books

Natural Fashion by Hans SilvesterWe weren't sure what to think when we first flipped through Natural Fashion, a gorgeously photographed chronicle of the nomadic people of Ethoiopia's Omo Valley. Page after page of young, naked, painted African models, wearing towering headdresses of leaves, vines and flowers. Who would dare to put together a project like this?

Posted Jan 29th 2009 at 3:00PM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Stores We Love, Product Reviews



Everyone says they love film but wanna know how many pro photographers shoot film (rather than digital photography or image capture systems)? Or how many magazines that run film photography?

Of the 12 remaining film photographers in New York City, a significant percentage revere the Lomographic Society. Now, the only domestic flagship to find all the goods, from cameras to bags, books or film, and everything Lomo related, has a perm home at 41 West 8th St, NYC. In terms of cameras, there's refurbished vintage models and the full catalog of Supersampler, Actionsampler, Diana F+, Oktomat, Pop 9, Holga and Lomo LC-A.

Book Review - Coco Chanel: Three Weeks/1962

Posted Oct 5th 2008 at 10:00AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Product Reviews


Coco Chanel seems to be a bit of a theme lately. There are movies and books coming out about Mademoiselle's life seemingly every hour, on the hour, and for good reason -- the woman led an incredibly interesting life, wholly deserving of being chronicled. We recently had a chance to review one of the more unique books about Coco Chanel -- Coco Chanel: Three Weeks/1962.

Rather than retell the story of how Chanel became a success, this book is filled with pictures (and a few select phrases) taken when the icon was 79 years old, when Douglas Kirkland (a very young-looking 27-year-old American photographer at the time) had the opportunity to spend three weeks taking pictures of Paris, Chanel fashion, and, of course, Chanel herself.

Veruschka: A face of a decade

Posted Sep 22nd 2008 at 6:20PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Style in the News



Before there was Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangalista, Veruschka reigned supreme in the world of modeling. The 60s-era German icon begin her career at the Ford Modeling Agency and became a muse for famed fashion photographers like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon. Oh, yeah. She dated some guy named Warren Beatty. You may have heard of him.

Anyways, the legend has resurfaced to hawk her new hand bound fashion tome aptly entitled Veruschka, which features tons of glossy images of the supermodel and interviews done by David Willis. Recently, Style.com caught with Veruschka to discuss her new project and the circumstances that surrounded her most iconic images. In this clip, see the supermodel transform into a a sexy femme fatal, a yoga master, and yeah, a black president.

Happy Monday, guys.

The return of The Sartorialist

Posted Sep 8th 2008 at 10:15AM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Style in the News, Men

Style impresario Scott Schuman (also known as The Sartorialist) is back.

The blogger will be doing what he does best during New York Fashion Week: snapping a select few on-the-street looks that catch his eye.

With his penchant for relaxed but sophisticated style, Schuman's photographs are just as inspiring as anything that comes down the runway. (And they always leave us wishing we could pull off the effortless chic of his Parisian subjects.)

Check out his latest picks here. Just don't blame us if you're struck with the sudden urge to buy an all-new wardrobe.

Book Review: "Edward Steichen In High Fashion"

Posted Aug 19th 2008 at 2:24PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Product Reviews



Students of photography know that some of the most stunning examples of the craft come from advertising work. Edward Steichen In High Fashion is literally a beautiful illustration of this truth.

Although Steichen might not exactly be a household name, his subjects were. In his distinguished career, which included 15 years as the chief photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair, he snapped stars like Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire, Gloria Swanson and Charlie Chaplin.

Dispatch from Connections Tradeshow

Posted Jun 16th 2008 at 9:45AM by Michael Cohen

Filed under: Events: On the Scene



The Connections Tradeshow, held over June 10–11, at The Puck Building, NYC, brought together more than 50 of the country's pre-eminent agents for photography and creative services. Attended by art directors, art buyers, advertising agencies, and various ad producers, the show is organized by Le Book.

Le Book, an A–Z directory with editions for New York, London and Paris, is widely used among the fashion and advertising industries for sourcing production elements and talent, but not especially well known in general. In this case, the third year of Connections shows Le Book has moved beyond a niche publication.

Everyone knows image production and advertising are not mere tangents to fashion. And editorial plays a key role as well for the photographers, stylists, art directors, and beauty artists represented at the event. It's a unique show, without any direct competition, that's proving to be remarkably successful in connecting the folks who know the people who make pretty pictures. Photographer specialties included still life, beauty, landscape, interiors, fashion, men's fashion, lifestyle, children, automobile, and celebrity. And while digital image capture is the norm, there was a reasonable amount of film photography represented.

Basically, the convention is three rooms of portfolios to flip through. The strength is that the group isn't entirely New York centric, there's a real intention to pull from other markets. Check out event pictures and these photo portfolios:

Billabong Fashion Show

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

Thursday I shot inside all access at Billabong's Design for Humanity Fashion Show that benefited the Surfrider Foundation. I roamed on the carpet on Vine Street until the models walked down the runway to music spun by DJ Aoki. Prog rock revivalists MGMT played to a packed house.

The Surfrider Foundation is an environmental organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of the world's waves and beaches through conservation, so beach apparel was the focus.

Celebrity designers included Cory Kennedy, Lisa Kline, Jenny Han, Amber Valetta, Joy Bryant, and Charlotte Ronson. There were some throwbacks to the seventies and a tribute to the American flag to name a couple trends that Billabong hopes will catch on for Summer.

Celebrities Adrien Grenier, Cameron Richardson, Juliette Lewis, Maynard James Keenan of Tool, John Legend were on hand to catch a glimpse of the show.

On Location at the MTV Movie Awards

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



I worked on the yellow carpet for video game sensation Rock Band while the Universal Studios back lot burnt down. It took two hours to get to press check-in. I was on a stage at the very end of the carpet with some skilled video-game designers who have a knack for virtual rocking. From Stone Temple Pilots to Queens of the Stone Age, these guys knew every four-button combo of every song.

Being at the end of the carpet, most didn't want to stop, let alone play a three minute karaoke version of Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive." I got some good talent nonetheless: Carson Daly, Cisco Adler, the Pussycat Dolls, Tila Tequila and so many others.

On the scene at Kung Fu Panda

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



The sun blasted on me behind the line at Grauman's Chinese Theater on Sunday at the Kung Fu Panda premiere. Jack Black, the voice of "Po," was dressed to the 9's in his sweat pants and blue T-shirt. He put on his usual high-kick action show. He's got a Black Belt in hillariousness!

Lucy Liu, who plays Viper, was striking in a Pink dress with ruffles.

New World star Q'orianka Kilcher wore a dress of her own bohemian design. You gotta respect someone who cuts and sews her own fashion.

And all star Maria Bello channeled the style of Italian Star Sophia Loren. Scarf tied around the neck, white pants. Very Italian mod.

Besides Dustin Hoffman and James Hong, it was a pretty light morning.

No Angelina Jolie and kids.

Behind the scenes with a red carpet photographer: Cannes round-up

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.

The rain wont stop, and when you're riding in a scooter there is no better idea than to drink vodka on the rocks with a lens all night. Oh, and work too.

By the time I made it to the Belvedere Vodka Jagger Dagger Party, I had already clocked 16 hours. So it was time to relax. Which was inevitable because no security guard in the V.I.P. club in Pointe Croissette cared that was the hired photographer this night. "Unlimited access" quickly turned into "hanging with the papparrazzi." Mark Ronson spun some tasty grooves as Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, displayed her $250,000 diamond and gem studded ice pick.

Browse the gallery to see my photos from the party, along with a few shots from Tuesday and Wednesday.

Cannes Film Festival Day 3: Behind the scenes with a red carpet photographer

I drove around in a scooter all day and nearly all night searching for the talented and fashionable. It rained and rained nearly all day. Wet streets, tuxedos and a dumb American who can't read the street signs spells disaster. But I've done alright so far. I had to lay her down once while I was parking because I accidentally pushed on the gas while breaking.

No Scrapes, no foul.
