Take a look back at 50 seriously stylish years of The Rolling Stones (plus, enter to win your own copy of their new book!)
Photography by Popperfoto/Getty Images It’s hard to believe The Rolling Stones are celebrating 50 years together today (or maybe not so hard if you’ve ever gotten a close-up of Mick’s face), but the original rock style gods are indeed ringing the milestone in. You’re welcome, Hedi Slimane/Johnny Depp/Julian Casablancas/Pete Doherty/…Britney Spears?
Starting with the band’s first jaunt on stage at London’s Marquee Club on July 12, 1962, the Stones have been through five decades of riotous partying, hair-raising performances, illustrious relationships and above all else, some of the most amazing singles modern music history’s ever known. To celebrate the Stones’ birthday, music journalist Hanspeter Kuenzeler has teamed up with The eBook People to put together the two-part 50 Years: The Rolling Stones – Views From the Inside, Views From the Outside, a 2000+ page collection of the best journalistic material spanning the band’s half-century-long run. The book will touch on everything from Mick Jagger’s famously stylish marriage in St. Tropez to Bianca Jagger to the various members’ many struggles with drugs (including Brian Jones’ death and Keith Richards’ infamous arrest for possession of heroin in Toronto).

May 2012: Letter from the editor
Photography by Vanessa Heins; Hair and makeup by Sheri Stroh for Plutino group/Tresemmé; Shot on location at the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto. Models generally don’t like to disclose their age. Sometimes it’s because they don’t want to be perceived as over the hill, other times it’s because they are working the runways sooner than they should be, given that some fashion councils have set a minimum age guideline of 16.
This makes it difficult to tell you who the youngest person in this issue is. But we know for certain who the oldest is: Iris Apfel, at 90, followed by China Machado at 82.
The fact that both of these women have recently appeared in ad campaigns and fashion spreads is wonderfully ironic. Especially since they are modelling not in spite of their advanced age but because of it. The courage to wear their wrinkles with pride has paid off in both reverence and renown. And they cleverly use fashion to ensure they aren’t any less alluring for it.
Not that there is anything wrong with a little tweak here and there, especially if, as Lynn Crosbie writes in “Audio Visual” (page 140), there is a body part you’ve come to detest.

April 2012: Letter from the editor
Photography by Vanessa Heins; hair by Roxane Tota; makeup by Sheri Stroh for Plutino Group. When I was a newspaper reporter, the water-cooler chat often turned to “how we got the story.”
Investigative reporters would describe months spent wooing reluctant sources. Photographers would detail how they wound up in the right place at the right time. And foreign correspondents told tales of bribery and squalor.
Things aren’t quite so dramatic on the fashion beat, but we have our moments.
Runway photographer Peter Stigter, whose images you see throughout every issue of FASHION, often finds himself crammed onto a riser in show venues that are so stifling, the sweat from other shooters rains down on his head.

Fan of The Hunger Games? Joe Fresh wants to send you to the Toronto premiere! Plus: enjoy this hilarious Lana Del Rey spoof video
Our enthusiasm for The Hunger Games movie (42 days and counting!) grew even deeper with the announcement of their China Glaze nail polish collaboration, and then reached full fandom status when Taylor Swift became part of the soundtrack. Thankfully, this new Lana Del Rey–inspired spoof song allows us to dial down our tween-age adoration to a more appropriate (ironic?) adult level.
But, before we sound too blasé about The Hunger Games, there’s yet another reason to get excited! Joe Fresh just announced that they’ve partnered with the film and are running a contest to send one lucky winner to the red-carpet premiere in Toronto—with a $500 Joe Fresh gift card. Continue over to torontolife.com for full details, or check out Joe Fresh on Facebook.

Scuba do: Check out FASHION’s photo shoot and go behind the scenes in tropical Hawaii
Escape the chill and head to heavenly Hawaii in resort brights, surfer prints and dive-inspired details. For our very first resort collections shoot, we couldn’t imagine a more fitting setting than the swaying palms and long stretches of white sandy beach on Oahu—especially since Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Marni resort were blooming with wild botanical prints and scuba-inspired silhouettes in a tropical paradise palette. Armed with a salt water–filled spray bottle and a boatload of bronzer, our hair and makeup artist Greg Wencel created a sun-kissed, unfussy beach beauty look for model Natalia Bogdanova. A short drive along the coast from Waikiki, we scaled the sloping cliffscape to the crashing waves below to shoot on sparkling black rocks at Lana’i Lookout (or Rifle Range, as the locals call it) and Halona Cove. We spent the day flinging ourselves into the pounding surf to cool off between frames. Our story was completed with a professional surfer as handsome accessory—and on the last day of the trip, we mustered the courage to take a lesson and catch a few waves of our own.
