Cabin Fever
Will Ryman challenges
capitalist notions in America
with a golden log cabin at the
Paul Kasmin Gallery
This photo was taken about three days after the founda-
tion structure of the cabin was completed at my studio in
Williamsburg, Brooklyn—a production image shot before the
next phase, in which the structure will be chromed. A reimag-
ining of Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood cabin, the piece is my own
exploration of the arc of capitalism in the United States. The
interior, which is not shown here, is made up of the consumer,
industrial, and agricultural products that were instrumental
in growing the American economy. Here you see a structure

about this shot. Will Ryman

![ast November, my phone was cha-chaing across the table with
unnerving frequency. What was the dilemma? Family drama? Saucy
gossip? The vibrations, I discovered, were a direct result of the
countless music and fashion blogs erupting over the images that you
see here. Hacked from an insider’s computer, the saucy pairing of Rihanna
and Kate Moss engaged in S&M-esque poses melted everyone’s brains and even
Rihanna’s Instagram account. “I posted them because I was so excited,” she
revealed during our interview, adding that she deleted them when she realized
it was the result of hackers. “I was so bummed because I thought they were so
sick. It goes to show how badly people wanted this cover. I guess it was as big
a deal to them as it was to me!” We received requests from all over the world
for the rights to reproduce the pics, but weren’t ready to give them up or the
story behind them, until now.
The truth is that someone unexpected is to thank for this blessed pairing of fash-
ion’s and music’s favorite bad girls: Kate Moss’s young daughter, Lila Grace. “I was
a fan,” recalls the model of the pop star, “but what really started it was my daugh-
ter and her friends running round the house singing all the words to her songs.”
So when Moss cohosted the 2009 Met Gala with Marc Jacobs and found herself
sitting next to Rihanna, she did what any mother would do and whipped out her
phone and sheepishly asked for a picture together. “I was, like, Are you fucking
kidding me?” remembers Rihanna. “I was so starstruck. I’m not going to lie.”
When Moss explained that the photo was for her kid, Rihanna was even more
gobsmacked. “I didn’t know she had a child, and she still looks like this? So there’s
hope for people who want babies and still want to be sexy,” she laughs. Moss
remembers Rihanna that night too—“those amazing eyes”—and got her shot for
Lila. Rihanna took a picture of them on her phone too, which she still proudly
shows of today. Both women have made entirely their own choices, and done a terrifc job at

tailor things to women to make them look so desirable. Michael Kors is just easy
fashion that works for any age group. A girl can look sexy in the same dress when
she is 20 as when she is 50. He is timeless.”
Asked what designer inspires her now, Moss ofers only one: “Hedi [Slimane]’s
new collection for Saint Laurent. Obviously. Living for…”
On the set of the shoot, these bad girls kept it playful. “That was hilarious,” Moss
says, her nose scrunching up like a feline vixen. Afterward, they’re still gushing
about each other. “She is just an awesome, cool little rock star,” Rihanna says
of Moss. The concept of playing with each other using masculine and feminine
identities evolved organically, she says, and then, naturally, at the end, they got
naked. “And that was the best shot,” Rihanna laughs. “Take her top of and put
that bitch in my lap!”
So the obvious question: would they get topless with each other again? Kate’s
response: “In a heartbeat.” Rihanna: “That depends on the terms,” she laughs.
“But I’m sure Kate knows them.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/v82-olloonecover-130302225723-phpapp01/85/V82-Dynamic-Duos-VMagazine-157-320.jpg)
![fashion’s favorite siblings
antoine and delphine arnault
Bernard Arnault’s acute business savvy and appreciation for luxury has certainly been passed on to his two eldest children,
Delphine, 37, and Antoine, 35, who have shared the scion’s appetite for hard work since dipping their toes into the family busi-
ness at an early age. Now this delightful brother-sister duo is continuing the Arnault legacy while honing their own professional
prowess. Today, Delphine is one of the senior execs at the House of Dior, and is credited, along with CEO Sidney Toledano, for
Raf Simons’s critically-acclaimed creative direction of the house. Antoine is in his third season as CEO at the much beloved
heritage brand Berluti. French and fabulous, the Arnaults are also utterly charming. We can’t wait to see how their sartorial
stories continue to unfold.
So tell us, how has it been to grow up with and then work with each other? [silence] Okay, who wants to go frst?
Makeup Violette for Dior (Management Artists) Hair John Nollet (B Agency) Photo assistants Olivier Saillant, Frederic David, Xavier Arias, Ben Sollich Stylist assistant Manuel Estevez
Antoine Arnault I will defer to the eldest here.
Delphine Arnault Ah, thank you. Antoine has been a part of my life since I was two years old. Now we work in diferent areas
of the group. He’s at Berluti, I’m at Dior. But we’re both on the board of LVMH. I don’t know a life without him.
Did you always get along?
AA No, we were constantly fghting, like most brothers and sisters.
DA We didn’t fght that often, did we?
AA But it was extremely constructive in terms of our relationship now. That’s what makes a good sibling relationship. We
found that we fought on the little things, but agreed on the important things. In my opinion, that’s what makes our strength
now. When we fght now, it’s on the little things. That’s normal, right?
Hair assistant Rudy Marmet (B Agency) Image direction Eric Pfrunder and Katherine Marre Retouching Ludovic d’Hardivillé Location Studio 7L
Now is your time to dish, any embarrassing childhood moments?
AA Coming back from the Bahamas once, I didn’t get a tan, so I tried to use a self-tanning cream. I didn’t know you had to put
it evenly all over, so I had these orange stains on my face. But hey, I was 15.
DA And it was the day of his class picture!
What about you Delphine, any embarrassing moments?
DA I had some pretty bad costumes at costume parties.
AA When she’d wear them to parties that weren’t costume parties.
DA I love Halloween in the States. What an amazing moment.
Delphine, Time magazine described you as “fashion obsessed.” Would you say that’s true?
DA Fashion obsessed? Yeah. My job is fashion. This is an extremely interesting industry. I get to meet young designers, a new
generation of creative people. Even within the design teams at our brands there are amazing people. We are always looking at
young talent. It’s the future.
If you weren’t working in fashion, what would you be doing?
DA Last week I was in L.A. and I went to visit Frank Gehry’s studio. I would want to work there. He’s a genius. But I’m not an
architect and I don’t live in L.A., so perhaps I’ll keep this job.
What about you Antoine?
AA I would defnitely be in advertising. I started my career in the advertising department of Vuitton, and it’s something I
always liked.
What are you doing with Berluti now?
AA This was a development I had in mind for a long time. There’s a strange gap in the men’s business where the super high-
end, classic man doesn’t know where to get his apparel. It’s either too fashion or too boring. But Berluti will fll that gap. It’s
not avant-garde menswear, where you’ll fnd bold prints or asymmetrical collars or things like that. Berluti is a beautiful suit,
a beautiful coat, a beautiful pair of jeans that you can wear for years.
DA And the craftsmanship is also fantastic. And the quality of the materials too.
See, big sister has your back.
AA We do overlap, and help each other quite often. From our discussions have come some of our best ideas.
So you don’t fght about business, only about family.
DA No, we don’t fght. I don’t know why he says that.
AA See, we’re fghting now.

While we love gadgets as much as the next guy, new media has made it essentially impossible to not be online, all the time. And while it’s great that social networking is becoming increasingly more intuitive, and everyone is sharing and liking things, and yes, your elderly uncle is now on Facebook, does it really mean that you’re that much closer to people? For our March issue, which heralds the arrival of Spring fashion, we wanted to address what it means to be part of a pair. Best friends, business partners, lovers, family mem- bers—they’re all here. We were fortunate enough to capture some incredible moments with some incredible people. Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon, Antoine and Delphine Arnault, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Diane von Furstenberg, Vladimir and Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Solange Knowles and Devonté Hynes, Jenna Lyons and her girlfriend, Courtney Crangi, and many more that we’ll let you discover for yourself. There may be a lack of human connection in this age of new media, but these incredible people are perfect examples of the power of two. Speaking of which, let’s not forget about the dynamos that grace our cover. And what a cover it is! Kate Moss and Rihanna—both of them cool girls with a badass vibe—photo- graphed by the incomparable Mario Testino. The resulting images are so hot that this will be the second time they scorch our beloved Internet. (Turn to Derek Blasberg’s cover story, on page 150, to get the scoop from the babes themselves.) Elsewhere in the issue, Inez and Vinoodh throw open the doors to their incredible Lower East Side loft, welcoming 11 top models in the best collections of the season.

In the latest chapter of an incredible story that includes their own romantic tale, here they debut a work that celebrates the new right of gays and lesbians to marry in France Pierre et Gilles’s hand-painted photographs are both highly revered—the likes of New York’s Museum of Modern Art and PPR king François Pinault collect them—and instantly recognizable. Exquisitely colorful and perversely naïve, the French artists’ dreamlike portraits capture the intensity of their subjects, who include Andy Warhol, Iggy Pop, Madonna, Marc Jacobs, and Catherine Deneuve. “Their images are iconic, yet none of their sitters look robotic,” says shoe designer Christian Louboutin, a friend since the late 1970s. “That’s because everything is done by hand and they don’t use a computer, which can rub out the character of the face.” Pierre et Gilles are an inseparable and unusual couple—“both in their professional and personal life,” according to Louboutin. In the increasingly technical world of photography they are extremely artisanal. “Each portrait takes about three weeks from the beginning to the end,” explains Gilles, “because we do everything from creating the décor to taking the picture to constructing the frame.” With regard to choosing ideas, “We are always inspired by the person’s personality,” says Pierre. The couple—Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard, always referred to as Pierre et Gilles—met in 1976 at the inauguration of the Kenzo boutique in the Place des Victoires, and a few months later started living and working together. “Pierre took photos and I did painting,” says Gilles. Their famous technique began thanks to a photo session with some of their girlfriends, who were snapped grimacing. “I used really bright colors and was pretty disappointed by the result,” says Pierre. “It was not flashy enough,” says Gilles. “And that’s why I decided to paint on the photographs to further express our vision.” It was daring and “very precise,” according to Farida Khelfa, the French style icon and one of their early subjects. “Really, they invented Photoshop before anyone,” she says. Their frst professional portrait was of Andy Warhol for Façade magazine, the now defunct French publication. “We went to his apartment on Rue du Cherche-Midi,” says Pierre. “And it was really exciting because we were his superfans,” adds Gilles. Their second cover portrait was of Iggy Pop. “Talk about rock and roll,” enthuses Pierre. They arrived at Pop’s hotel room to fnd him in bed with a groupie and a battlefeld of empty champagne bottles and glasses smashed into the carpet. “We took a picture of him in a white shirt wearing Pierre’s leather tie, which Iggy refused to give back,” says Gilles. Their reputation quickly attracted the attention of designer Thierry Mugler and led to their creating his invitations for three years. “Thierry would talk about the collection and give us the colors,” says Gilles. “It was a delightful experience.” They also began to work with Jean Paul Gaultier and to take pop-world portraits, ranging from Sylvie Vartan to Madonna. “Singers corresponded to our childhood,” says Pierre. It was in 1996, with Taschen’s publication of their complete works—launched to coincide with a retrospective of their work at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie—that their career exploded. “In Bangkok, we found people selling our photos printed onto canvases lined up next to fake Picassos and Warhols,” says Gilles. “And in Spain, they put our Virgin Madonna on the cans of beer,” recalls Pierre. Though their public persona is defnitively downtown and edgy (count on them wearing jean jackets to black-tie events), in private, Pierre et Gilles bring to mind courteous, sweet-natured elves consumed by their art. Indeed, their studio (which doubles as living quarters) is an eccentric shrine to their make-believe world. Upstairs sits Gilles’s atelier—a delightful indoor greenhouse—where a portrait of a blond Adonis with elaborate wings waits patiently for the fnal brushstrokes. Elsewhere, makeshift sets refecting Indian and Sri Lankan infuences are scattered around a kitchen table, wooden chairs, and more practical-looking furniture. In the basement, the photo studio has been transformed with kitsch décor—a saccharine serenade of silver stars and pink tulle—commemorating Koh Masaki, a famous Japanese porno star. “He’s beautiful,” says Gilles. Masaki is “100 per- cent gay,” according to Pierre, as is a large percentage of their work. “We’ve never hidden being gay,” says Pierre. But as his partner is quick to point out, “We’ve taken photographs of everyone and never placed ourselves in the gay ghetto.” Their autoportrait salutes gay marriage, which has just become legal in France. “It’s actually our second time doing this,” notes Pierre. “Because in 1993, we did a fake wedding which showed Gilles as a bride.” As ever, Pierre et Gilles remain ahead of the game.

Below from left: with the Rolling Stones for Gimme Shelter; on the set of Salesman; at their New York ofce albert and david maysles This year Albert will be 87, and he still revels in his tale as if it happened last week. During a break from teaching psychology at Boston University, he yearned for an adventure, so he convinced Life magazine to lend him a camera and went to film mental hospitals in Russia. The resulting work, Psychiatry in Russia, hooked the elder Maysles on the art of filmmaking. Meanwhile the younger brother was finishing a tour of duty in the Korean War. Following America’s finest documentary filmmakers, David’s service, each of them worked on individual projects (one of which included David’s turn as an on-set assistant which led to Albert’s having a chance encounter with Marilyn brothers Albert and David Maysles, have earned Monroe: “She was dressed in a towel. I could tell from the conversation that she was quite intelligent,” he says). The fascination had set in. the trust of everyone from Bible salesmen in “My brother did sound and I did the camera,” recalls Albert of their process. “He also super- vised the editing. We had sufciently responsible roles and depended on each other. One of the Boston to the Beatles to Muhammad Ali. Their best things that ever happened to me was having a brother that I could work with.” Together they were among the first to pioneer non-narrative documentaries. The type untouchable oeuvre lives on of exposure their approach generated might have made some subjects blanch, but the pure- of-heart Maysles were never about ticket sales or hidden agendas. “I’m taken to think that “The humanity is just what’s missing from flm today,” says Albert Maysles, one half of the making a documentary involves an act of friendship,” Albert says. “You become friends power duo that has brought us some of the most compelling social documentaries of our time. through a mutual like for each other, and trust.

WORK in pRO GRess PhotograPhy JaSonSchmidt Listen Up No one has a better ear for the esoteric than sound artist Sabisha Friedberg, who addresses levitation with turn- of-the-century tunes When Justin Luke of AVA (Audio Visual Arts) approached me to do a show at his space in the East Village, I was very enthused because it is one of the only galleries specifcally dedicated to sound art. The dimensions of the space make it a welcome challenge in terms of conceiving an appropriate installation. One’s ideas have to be very concerted and con- sidered, sublimating the elements to the essential. I think that the most interesting venues in New York right now are these kind of contained and focused environments. For this exhibi- tion I am inspired by and have proposed the idea of levitation as a conceptual framework. I address it through calculated fre- quency interplay within the space and by way of a sound sculp- ture, which I am developing into a series that demonstrates acoustic hovering. In addition, I present visuals as adjunct to the sound piece: invented schematics based on arcane sciences, narrative drawings, and various self-penned texts. Outside are speakers above, with which Justin makes music available subtly to passersby on the street. I have a program list of music from the late turn of the 19th century to early teens—a vibrant time of sound and recording discoveries. As the inside exhibition alludes to a lofty esotericism, I chose tunes for the exterior that were specifcally brazen and profane. SabiSha Friedberg 10 5

WoRk in pRogRess CabinFever Will Ryman challenges capitalist notions in America with a golden log cabin at the Paul Kasmin Gallery This photo was taken about three days after the founda- tion structure of the cabin was completed at my studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn—a production image shot before the next phase, in which the structure will be chromed. A reimag- ining of Abraham Lincoln’s boyhood cabin, the piece is my own exploration of the arc of capitalism in the United States. The interior, which is not shown here, is made up of the consumer, industrial, and agricultural products that were instrumental in growing the American economy.

At a time when lots of people were actively wondering where the iconic singer had disappeared to, he decided to surprise the planet by drop- ping a new single—the lovely “Where OF SPRING Are We Now?”—and announcing the release of his first new album in well over a decade. Slated for March, The Next Day pairs Bowie with longtime collabo- rator-producer Tony Visconti on 14 tracks that are rumored to hark back to Bowie’s Young Americans days.

But if Malick is selling us on anything here, it’s his star, Olga Kurylenko. “He shoots whom the sky is the limit. Now she’s tackling the role of a lovelorn with a very magic light,” she says. The Ukrainian-born actress, 33, was scouted in Moscow soul in Terrence Malick’s Oklahoma-based opus To the Wonder as a teen, subsequently moving to Paris, where she joined mega modeling agency NEXT. Working successfully into her late 20s, she fronted campaigns for Clarins, Sisley, and Kenzo perfumes. Prior to making her flm debut as the lead in Diane Bertrand’s erotically charged L’annulaire, Kurylenko appeared on the covers of Vogue Italia and French Elle. Getting physical has been par for the course for the former model. She’s featured in action ficks like Centurion along- side Michael Fassbender, and Luc Besson’s Hitman, her frst English-speaking role. But her best-known screen persona to date is that of Camille Montes, the murder-avenging scene stealer in the 2008 Bond fick Quantum of Solace. In April, Kurylenko stars with Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman in the big-budget sci-f thriller Oblivion. “Tom is a fascinating person,” Kurylenko says of her costar. “He is one of the most generous actors I have ever worked with, and he has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met! I could watch him work all day long. I learned so much from him.” The same could be said for Malick. Praising the Oscar- nominated flmmaker’s quirkiness, tenacity, and empathy, Kurylenko considers him a master of the human psyche. This quality comes in handy on the set of the romantic drama, where Malick’s characters, including Kurylenko’s Marina, are troubled souls. Falling in and out of love, they’re often lonely even in each other’s company. “Terry portrays human problems,” she explains. “He’s perceptive. He sees the problem and knows where it comes from. I think he’s a very good psychologist.” Kurylenko found herself physically drained on Malick’s set. The role, which required her to dance, fght, and break down, was emotionally exhausting. The experience took her “to the darkest place, ever, out of all of my movies. I’ve never been to such depths as in this one,” she says. “I scared myself, you know what I mean?” Malick, who also wrote To the Wonder, did not give his actors a script or scenes to prep beforehand. Rehearsing was impossible, since the writer-director only gave out pages just prior to shooting. Kurylenko described the “read it and go” process as both intimate and daunting. Her reactions, she explained, were more those of a civilian responding suddenly than of an actor inhabiting a studied role. At times Malick’s confdence in his protagonist’s abilities foored her. “You know, I always think about where I come from. And this guy who’s so amazing and whom I admire, he just trusted me. He believed in me,” she says, her voice betraying a sense of awe. “It turned my life into a fairy tale.” Sarah FoneS olga kurylenko in new york ciTy, january 2013 Top Jil Sander PhoTograPhY PhiliPPe Vogelenzang earrings Tom BinnS deSign FaShion Brandon maxwell To THe wonDer is ouT in april 2013 117

The vibrations, I discovered, were a direct result of the countless music and fashion blogs erupting over the images that you see here. Hacked from an insider’s computer, the saucy pairing of Rihanna and Kate Moss engaged in S&M-esque poses melted everyone’s brains and even Rihanna’s Instagram account. “I posted them because I was so excited,” she revealed during our interview, adding that she deleted them when she realized it was the result of hackers. “I was so bummed because I thought they were so sick. It goes to show how badly people wanted this cover. I guess it was as big a deal to them as it was to me!” We received requests from all over the world for the rights to reproduce the pics, but weren’t ready to give them up or the story behind them, until now. The truth is that someone unexpected is to thank for this blessed pairing of fash- ion’s and music’s favorite bad girls: Kate Moss’s young daughter, Lila Grace. “I was a fan,” recalls the model of the pop star, “but what really started it was my daugh- ter and her friends running round the house singing all the words to her songs.” So when Moss cohosted the 2009 Met Gala with Marc Jacobs and found herself sitting next to Rihanna, she did what any mother would do and whipped out her phone and sheepishly asked for a picture together. “I was, like, Are you fucking kidding me?” remembers Rihanna. “I was so starstruck. I’m not going to lie.” When Moss explained that the photo was for her kid, Rihanna was even more gobsmacked. “I didn’t know she had a child, and she still looks like this? So there’s hope for people who want babies and still want to be sexy,” she laughs. Moss remembers Rihanna that night too—“those amazing eyes”—and got her shot for Lila. Rihanna took a picture of them on her phone too, which she still proudly shows of today. Both women have made entirely their own choices, and done a terrifc job at The two bumped into each other again last February at another fabulous fête: keeping writers for high-fashion glossies and down and dirty tabloids extremely Stella McCartney’s presentation for a one-of dress collection, held at an old busy.

How does Rihanna describe frst seem a likely pairing. One is the queen of London cool, the other a hip-hop her personal style? “It’s an expression of my mood. I’m more of a spontaneous fantasy. But it turns out the two have more in common than fashion-icon status: girl. I fnd myself drawn to the things that come together at the last minute. I hate meager beginnings, careers that started in the trenches of industries only the when a look looks over-thought. I hate when fashion looks too contrived. I just toughest can survive, and climbing to the absolute tops of their felds amid both throw myself in the closet and see what happens.” When asked who her favorite cultish worship and criticism. designers are, Rihanna cites Tom Ford and Michael Kors. “Tom Ford is just pure sex,” she explains. “Only the baddest bitch can wear that. And he knows how to tailor things to women to make them look so desirable. Michael Kors is just easy fashion that works for any age group. A girl can look sexy in the same dress when she is 20 as when she is 50. He is timeless.” Asked what designer inspires her now, Moss ofers only one: “Hedi [Slimane]’s new collection for Saint Laurent. Obviously. Living for…” On the set of the shoot, these bad girls kept it playful. “That was hilarious,” Moss says, her nose scrunching up like a feline vixen. Afterward, they’re still gushing about each other. “She is just an awesome, cool little rock star,” Rihanna says of Moss. The concept of playing with each other using masculine and feminine identities evolved organically, she says, and then, naturally, at the end, they got naked. “And that was the best shot,” Rihanna laughs. “Take her top of and put that bitch in my lap!” So the obvious question: would they get topless with each other again? Kate’s response: “In a heartbeat.” Rihanna: “That depends on the terms,” she laughs. “But I’m sure Kate knows them.”

I get to meet young designers, a new generation of creative people. Even within the design teams at our brands there are amazing people. We are always looking at young talent. It’s the future. If you weren’t working in fashion, what would you be doing? DA Last week I was in L.A. and I went to visit Frank Gehry’s studio. I would want to work there. He’s a genius. But I’m not an architect and I don’t live in L.A., so perhaps I’ll keep this job. What about you Antoine? AA I would defnitely be in advertising. I started my career in the advertising department of Vuitton, and it’s something I always liked. What are you doing with Berluti now? AA This was a development I had in mind for a long time. There’s a strange gap in the men’s business where the super high- end, classic man doesn’t know where to get his apparel. It’s either too fashion or too boring. But Berluti will fll that gap. It’s not avant-garde menswear, where you’ll fnd bold prints or asymmetrical collars or things like that. Berluti is a beautiful suit, a beautiful coat, a beautiful pair of jeans that you can wear for years. DA And the craftsmanship is also fantastic. And the quality of the materials too.

In return, DVF has lent her support to a number of Bloomberg’s causes. And where DVF goes, the fashion set follows. Perhaps most notably there was the Diller-von Furstenberg diane von FurstenBerg Foundation’s $20 million donation to the High Line in 2011—the largest sum ever donated to a New York City park. (Two previous donations from the Foundation to the park reportedly totaled $15 million.) It’s no coincidence, then, that the High Line has become the home to fashion gatherings, including a number of Calvin Klein fêtes, Tommy Hilfger’s Spring 2012 Special thanks Souri Kim, Grace Cha, Jordan Stein menswear show, and Coach’s summer party last May. On a less celebratory note, DVF and the CFDA (in partnership with Vogue) mobilized fashion’s hurricane relief eforts last November The ongoing joke between Mayor Bloomberg and Diane von Furstenberg is that fashion is not in the aftermath of Sandy, raising $1.7 million to beneft the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New his forte. (“I am a fashion designer’s nightmare,” he joked at a press conference in 2010. “He is York City and other organizations in the tristate area.

It is that type of innova- tive thinking that has become the siblings’ collective calling card. According to Julia, they were taught never to follow trends and to always think for themselves. Embodying the French je ne sais quoi spirit with ease, the elder sister—after being trained by the design frm Baron and Baron, the photographer Craig McDean, and Visionaire—now serves as an art director for fashion houses such as Max Mara, Miu Miu, and Altuzarra. “I truly believe that if you carry yourself with confdence, and feel good about yourself, you can look good in anything,” she says. And she would know. Sporting immaculate style, both Vlad and Julia can often be seen with a trail of photographers following in their wake. The French-born, New York-based duo is constantly evolving; Vladimir has new exhibitions planned in New York and Italy, and Julia is publishing a style guide for mothers called Romy and the Bunnies, named after her young daughter. Expect to see plenty more of them in the time to come. To them, achievement is a way of life.

Their sisterlike synergy is not remotely disingenuous, it’s just that for these kindred spirits, their affinity feels timeless. They found each other in the rough-and-tumble fashion industry, at the altar of its high priest, Monsieur Lagerfeld. (And who wouldn’t be drawn together while basking in the soft glow of Chanel?) “I feel as though I have known Amanda forever, but perhaps that is just because I have always felt so at ease around her and oddly connected to her,” says Ross. “I suppose I got to really know her when I started working with Karl, when I was 19. I am very lucky to have her as a friend.” For her part, Harlech is equally effusive: “Liberty is part of where I came from as much as where I’m going,” she says. “Subtle, distilled like a perfume, she senses everything a beat before I do. I love the wisdom in the reach of her laugh, her canny all-seeing eye, her compassion and verve and dance.

They met some years ago, when Chung was frst auditioning to be a presenter at MTV and Thomas’s then band, The Like, was her inaugural interview. “And I got the job,” says Chung of their serendipitous encounter. They spent the subsequent years bonding during high-spirited evenings out in London, and eventually discovered “how inseparable we really are” after moving to New York a year and a half ago. “It was a long distance relationship before then,” jokes Thomas. Chung is now anchoring a new half-hour music show called Fuse News, but her days are not complete without checking in with her favorite Bunny (Thomas’s actual middle name). “We’re neighbors in the East Village and there are a few cafés that are equidistant from our apartments,” explains Thomas. “And when a day goes by and we don’t see each other…” “It’s just weird,” says Chung as if on cue, before adding, “Tennessee makes me laugh, because I think we’ve both got the same pun-brain, and quite often we have to try to beat each other to the same sentence.” SC From leFt: tennessee wears sweater Reed KRaKoff Jeans expReSS shoes Valentino ribbon stylist’s own alexa wears sweater 3.1 phillip lim Jeans hudSon shoes ChRiStian louboutin Jewelry her own ribbon stylist’s own

Zosia Mamet &Jemima Kirke Girls Will Be Girls Sitting down with the 20-something actresses Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet, who play cousins Jessa and Shoshanna on the award- winning HBO show Girls, feels a bit like stepping onto a live audi- ence taping of creator Lena Dunham’s set. The funny banter, the comedic timing, the strikingly open conversation—it’s not just act- ing! “We improv so much on the show, there are endless hours of us just being ridiculous,” says Mamet, recalling their frst working scene together, in which Jessa is unpacking her bohemian life in Shoshanna’s sterile Sex and the City–inspired apartment. “We had so much fun,” echoes Kirke, who just gave birth to her second child. “I just want more scenes with Zosia—even if it means she’s dressed up in a monkey suit.” (Thinking that’s not a half-bad idea, Kirke texts Dunham immediately.) Ofscreen they are closer than their characters—getting dinner, shooting the shit, giving each other tat- toos…“Zosia likes the stick-and-poke, and I like to give them,” says Kirke. They also scour real estate listings, on the of chance that life imitates art and they end up cohabitating. “I’ll move in with my husband and two children and Zosia,” says Kirke. “And the dog that I desperately want…on the Lower East Side,” adds Mamet. “That’s a spin-of if I’ve ever heard one.” Dunham, take note.
