ALTHOUGH RESORT SEASON HAS LONG PASSED, ELLE MAGAZINE FEATURED ARLENIS SOSA IN A SUN-SOAKED, PATTERN FILLED, VIBRANT COLORED SPREAD. SHOT BY CARTER SMITH, I GIVE THIS SPREAD TWO WORDS: EDITORIAL GENIUS.
I can't help but to reminicse on the times when Kanye West was engaged to fashion designer and model Alexis Phifer. They could have potentially been a POWER couple by now!
"POP LUXE"
When Kanye West is asked to describe his style, he pauses for a second – but only a second. “It’s like…pop luxe. Pop and Luxury. Everything about me is pop and luxury.”

In West’s three-tier modern house at the foot of the Hollywood Hills, luxury is the thing you see. A pile of Louis Vuitton trunks greets guests inside the foyer; a waist-high neon-green Marc Newsom Dom Pérignon bottle sits in his office. Lush cashmere drapes line the windows overlooking Hollywood Boulevard. And a Crestron system allows West to control – Bill Gates-style – the house’s climate, lighting, and music from any computer in the world.
Yet despite the obvious luxe, the home hardly feels like the pimped-out pad one might expect from a multi-platinum-selling rapper. Maybe it’s because West, 30, prides himself on being more than that, or maybe it has something to do with his fiancée, fashion designer Alexis Phifer.
MODELS REINA MONTERO, JENEIL WILLIAMS, SEDENE BLAKE, SHENA MOULTON, AND AMINATA NIARIA SIMPLY ILLUMINATED THIS 5 PAGE SPREAD OF JULY'S VOGUE RUSSIA ISSUE. ONE WORD: ASTONISHING.

THIS IS QUITE THE THROWBACK AS FAR AS EDITORIALS GO. BUT I LOVE IT NONETHELESS. V MAGAZINE NEVER FAILS WITH THEIR MODEL CASTING. I'M HAPPY TO SEE TWO BLACK SUPERMODEL FACES IN ONE SPREAD.
