Hitting Newsstands Nextweek: Rihanna Covers The Vogue Italia (Couture Supplement) September 2009 Issue.


CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: With all of the très chic female buzz cuts and the militantly cut angular silhouettes popping up in collections on runways across the world, this obviously Grace Jones inspired Rihanna cover for Vogue Italia September 2009 is right on time!

Although only for the annual couture supplement feature and not the coveted main Vogue Italia cover, this androgynously avant-garde shoot captured by the incredible lens of New York based fashion photographer and all around auteur Steven Klein, is a brilliant case study in trendy transcendentalism. Yes, this smashing "Extreme Couture" black and white vision in Valentino is something a lot like "Memories Of The Future" homie - word to Erich Von Daniken. Google it!
