Of course there is. However, that doesn’t stop us from being fairly excited to see the return of the tiny-phone using, loft-living, Derek Zoolander and his Microscooter wielding compadre, Hansel. Well, to celebrate the impending release of Zoolander 2, the people at Cîroc Vodka (eternally the low calorie fashion choice, darling) got together with everyone’s favourite A-List photographer, Mario Testino, for some classic shots of Derek doing his thing. Appropriately he’s throwing a metallic blue suit look and, unsurprisingly, his trademark Blue Steel expression. Testino certainly had good things to say about Zoolander: “Derek Zoolander was so open to all my ideas and helped convey what I wanted to do.  It is not always easy to get people to perform or take on your direction, even when they are actors, but Derek was great. Of course, the moment he did his famous ‘blue steel’ pose was brilliant. It was what we were all waiting for!’

If you fancy getting in on the good looking action, Cîroc – which is made from grapes rather than grain (bet you didn’t know that) – is releasing a limited edition series of ‘Derek Zoolander Blue Steel’ bottles in a standard 75cl, a slightly chunkier 1.75cl, and a part-ready 3l issue. Whichever you get, it’ll definitely be safer than an Orange Mocha Frapuccino.

Burberry, the iconically British brand, have officially announced their SS16 campaign after a teaser of the Mario Testino photo shoot was released live in October for just 24 hours over Snapchat. Very 2015 of them. This stripped-down version of a fashion shoot is the first of its kind, an organic and instantaneous outlook on a high-end brand and industry: ‘we are hoping to change the way in which the industry traditionally views and treat fashion campaigns’ said Testino. This concept is enhanced by the young and bright-eyed selection of models of the moment with nothing but an au naturel glow to their faces.

This fresh-faced cast of bright young things includes Dylan Brosnan (son of Pierce), Bella Yentob (daughter of Alan), twins Ruth and May Bell, Hayett Belarbi McCarthy, Eliza Fairbanks, Misha Hart, Liam Gardener, Sol Goss, Ben Gregory and Louie Johnson. All Brits new to the Burberry campaign.

Alongside the models of the moment, is ‘it’ accessory, The Burberry Rucksack, which sold out immediately after it first appeared on the runway back in September at LFW. The ready-to-wear lightweight bag is available to order online from Burberry.com – the men’s version is soon to follow and will be available from January.

Those clever people at Burberry have done it again. Breaking the boundaries of fashion that is. After their pioneering approach to sharing their SS16 show with a ‘live story’ series on Snapchat this September, the brand has taken to the social media platform (that boasts 100 million users) again, announcing that they will be live streaming their SS16 campaign shoot at 5pm today. This advertising campaign is being created exclusively for Burberry’s snapchat followers, giving them (i.e. all of us) never before seen access to the campaign shoot, in real time, by world-renowned photographer, Mario Testino.

Sounds too good to be true? It isn’t! All you need to do is add Burberry on Snapchat to watch the campaign shoot from 5pm today. But act fast, in 24 hours it will all have disappeared. Magic.

The Godfather of fashion photography, Mario Testino, has seen the interpretation of male form and identity change first hand over the last sixty years. Testino himself has had a weighty influence over the way we visually interpret men, being a universal eye we have all viewed iconic photographs through.

Considering this, Testino’s new book, SIR looks deeper into this evolving matter, he says, “The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man’s personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body.”

With some previously unseen work spanning the last three decades, the collection contains studies of everyone, from “normal” men to rockstars and actors, an essay by author, Pierre Borhan and an interview with editor, Patrick Kinmonth. Testino takes a close look at the obvious beauties, Hollywood hunks, like Jude Law, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, hoping to unveil something you’ve never seen before but also reacts to the revolutionaries, like David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

Bound in Japanese cloth, the book is limited to 1000 copies, each individually signed by Testino. If, like us, you need to save some pennies before you can buy your own, you can follow Testino on Instagram to temporarily satisfy your hunger.

Mario Testino’s SIR is on sale now from Taschen, limited to 1000 copies and priced at £450.

Today, Ciroc Ultra-Premium Vodka announces its creative partnership with legendary photographer Mario Testino for its new international brand campaign ‘Ciroc On Arrival’. The collaboration sees Testino taking on the role of Creative Director and photographer, as the pair look to celebrate the latest talent breaking out in their profession and to have truly made it.

The campaign will see Ciroc  and Testino handpick emerging talents from across the globe that they believe have skyrocketed into the spotlight and document their celebratory moments of arrival. Testino is responsible for creating some of the most iconic celebrity images of recent decades, as such, to be shot by him has become widely recognised as a mark of having made it. Testino’s shots will reference Slim Aarons’ iconic intimate style of photography. Known for documenting the good life, Aarons captured the private celebration moments of the rich and famous through the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Mario Testino will interpret some of Aarons’ essence as he captures the campaign, through his lens, focusing on that jubilant moment of celebration that marks the arrival of today’s talent on the scene of success.

Mario Testino commented: “I am excited to be involved in creating this campaign with CÎROC^® Vodka. Slim Aarons has been one of those photographers who has inspired me from the earliest days of my career. His approach to photography and the style that he captured always made me dream.”

The first shoot of the campaign took place in the London Edition Hotel and stars British actor Sam Claflin. Sam commented: “I’ve been lucky enough to have been given some amazing opportunities to be able to do what I love in life. Of course, I have had to prove myself in a lot of ways as an actor which puts a lot of pressure on me, so this campaign appealed as it allows me a moment to celebrate.”

Following the London launch, the campaign travels immediately to South America to the heart of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, as the next shoot location. The image will focus on the spirit of the Brazilian people and their unyielding desire to celebrate life. To complete the 18 month campaign, three other shoots are scheduled in Ibiza, Cape Town and the Alps.

Sky Ferreira – Everything Is Embarrassing (Unicorn Kid Remix) by Sky Ferreira Official

Tell us about your change of direction since ‘One‘.

I got signed when I was 15, and I had a lot of people telling me what I should do, and I didn’t necessarily agree with it but I was like, “I guess I’ll try it”. After ‘One’, they were like, “Oh your song didn’t do well…” It got attention, but it didn’t sell anything, which was actually for the best, because I don’t think I really wanted to make that kind of music to begin with.

It was a great track though.

It was a great track – totally. I don’t regret it.

Tell us how you hooked up with Dev Hynes for ‘Everything Is Embarrassing‘.

I met Dev Hynes through mutual friends. We were always trying to work together. My publicist sent it to Pitchfork and they posted it and made it best new track, and it got traction from there.

Your album will be dropping later this year. You’re like a Cassie figure – the longer you’ve been away, the more the mystique and expectation have built.

Yeah, that’s why I have to make sure it’s good! Some people might be disappointed because it’s not ‘One’ or ‘Obsession’, but there are still a lot of pop elements in it. It’s a lot more guitar driven, there are acoustic songs and it’s very stripped down. A lazy, easy comparison would be Blondie.

Who have you been collaborating with on this one?

I worked with Jon Brion on half of it and then Ariel Rechtshaid on the other half. Ariel produced that Usher’s song ‘Climax’, which is completely different to what we’re doing, and then he did Vampire Weekend. Jon Brion did Elliott Smith and Fiona Apple.

I was going to say that some of your new work has a bit of an early Fiona Apple feel to it.

Yeah she’s a really big influence – always was. She was my number one idol as a kid. I’ve seen her play like 10 times, and I cried the second time. I cried at the front.

It was so embarrassing!

Discreet tears or full-on sobs?

I wasn’t sobbing. Definitely tears though!

A lot of your artwork and videos remind me of a young Vanessa Paradis.

Yeah, and Nastassja Kinski is a very big person for me. Vanessa Paradis as a teenager! She’s still glamorous. I love all that look of French girls, like Brigitte Bardot.

How did you get approached to be the face of Saint Laurent Paris?

Hedi Slimane and I met a few years ago, and always kept in touch. He took photos of me for his diary, then he did my artwork, and then asked me to do Saint Laurent. So yeah!

You’re touring North America with How To Dress Well. Great combo.

Yeah it’s going to be a cool tour I think. We have mutual friends, and we like each other’s music. We thought it’d be a fun tour.

What’s your go-to album at the moment?

Kendrick Lamar. That’s my favourite album of last year. I love his music, but I think it’s also the LA in me. I’m from Venice Beach. When I listen to him, I’m like “LA! Yay – repping the West Coast finally.”

Are you off to some Paris fashion shows whilst you’re here in Europe?

Yeah. I skipped New York fashion week this time, but I’m going to Givenchy and Saint Laurent next week. Riccardo Tisci was one of the first people – even during my whole break – who had me play his parties. He’s really supportive. And I’m playing a show at Silencio, David Lynch’s nightclub there.

Tell us what it’s like shooting with Mario Testino, Terry Richardson and Hedi Slimane.

They’re all quite different. Hedi’s thing is quite intimate, you know, and then Terry is just like my friend. We just hang out.

Is he still getting his dick out all the time?

I think he’s stopped that – too much commercial work! And Testino’s a bit more glamorous. That’s like shooting like a diva.

Sky Ferreira’s EP Everything is Embarrassing will be released 8th April on Polydor. She plays tonight at White Heat and tomorrow at XOYO, London. skyferreira.tumblr.com
