Calvin Harris [Strips Down Again] for Emporio Armani Fall 2015

DJ Calvin Harris continues to be the spokesmodel for Emporio Armani. In the latest campaign, he's featured wearing a velvet hoodie and fashion-forward leather jacket. They're quite amazing. And thankfully, to gratify the eye candy  factor, a couple of undie shots too! [Just think, Taylor Swift sees him in less!] 

Calvin Harris made headlines last December when he was announced as the face & body of Emporio Armani. The Spring campaign gave us an eyeful of well sculpted pecs, hard abs and sexy hot glances from the musician. As an award winning artist, we already new Calvin Harris was talented. But who knew there was that much hotness behind the keyboard and Grammy?!

Mr. Giorgio Armani himself is quite pleased with this relationship, stating: "Calvin Harris is a truly cosmopolitan, dynamic young man who is capable of attracting the masses with his music and energy."

If you think the photos are HOT, I think the video is even hotter! Watch Calvin Harris in this behind the scenes video from the Spring Campaign. Smoke, anyone?

Beyoncé for Vogue's September Issue 2015

Being on the cover of Vogue is something fabulous BUT featured on the cover of the coveted September issue is way beyond that. Beyoncé, wearing a gorgeous Marc Jacobs dress, is only the third black woman in history to grace the September cover. [Naomi Campbell 1989 & Halle Berry 2010.] The cover shot by acclaimed photographer and Vogue favorite, Mario Testino, depicts Beyoncé as both seductive and powerful. 

Vogue released this video which gives a creative behind-the-scenes glimpse of Mario Testino and Beyoncé at the shoot. 

*Vogue's September Issue hits newsstands on August 25th but you can grab one sooner through Target and Amazon on Aug. 14th!!

Model Casting: Jeffrey Fashion Cares

I couldn't resist the Loubs! Their virgin red soles said touch me... 

Don, Philip, Randi & Lila

Jeffrey Atlanta Phipps Plaza

"Smooth and pretty. Big smile." That was the instruction given to the six foot, stiletto wearing glamazons bidding for a chance to grace the coveted Jeffrey Fashion Cares runway. Clearly, Jeffrey Kalinsky has a vision. The well-orchestrated casting had models from Atlanta's top agencies give their best walk for Jeffrey Atlanta GM Don Purcell, Jeffrey NY's Philip Manghisi, Catwalk Production's Randi Layne and Jeffrey Fashion Cares Chair Lila Hertz - no pressure!

Photographer Tomas Espinoza captured the excitement and energy with a collection of creative images (so make sure and look through the slideshow).

When I was a young artist in graduate school, I chose art galleries based on whether I could visualize my work on their walls... [For me] it was easy to spot a Jeffrey's Girl based on who could pull off Saint Laurent, Givenchy or Lanvin.

Jeffrey Fashion Cares is the closest Atlanta gets to feeling like NYFW. If you've attended JFC then you know exactly what I mean, but if you haven't, get your tickets and be a part of something truly remarkable. Cocktails, after-parties and the best of Fall 2015 runway fashion all while supporting the Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta and the Atlanta AIDS Fund.

Jeffrey Fashion Cares offers the most exciting and philanthropic evening of the season.
