...writings say it better (for once!)
arizona muse, dunno for what and if you know please let us know haha.
the title of the tee says it better, merci beaucoup.
to all agencies, photographers, stylists, hair and make up artists, faithful followers or casual readers. MERCI BEAUCOUP.
thought this pic was a beautiful way to say thanks, maybe wrong maybe right but felt it was necessary one way or another.
just as a blast from the...

the fdib favorites @ iconic management, germany
times of changes, uncertain and exciting somehow, frustrating sometimes too.
but berlin in the radar with some favorite ladies at iconic (sorry couldn’t put them all here but they all deserve). stylish b&w still does it better. picky management as well. from almost-total newbies to famous faces, the set is complete. looking...

charlotte @ model+, poland
amica did it again. favorite italian magazine and that’s not an easy task since the competition is tough since italian vogue is most likely the best of its name.
have known her from the start, not only like the performance but — the person too. the wild child behind the visuals, the energy and personality that bring everything to life.
end is soon,...

...like there is no tomorrow
ania @ ice², milano
next year is supposed to be the end of the world and next month is the end of our myth. it’s time for happy ending, and hopefully good brand new starts too, no matter how this era is supposed to last.
ania, as portrayed by mara corsino, young and strong and free of all these questions.
and ps/pm: take my heart don’t lose it.

...one more time before the curtain falls
dovile virsilaite @ models 1 (also oui and ny models now).
by andrea carter-bowman - all the stuff and much much more out there.
one of the most frequently featured model in fdib’s history. taking a brand new start as well these days. double symbol if we may say, and a pleasure to drop a note on andrea’s work once more before it stops.

milla jovovich and natalia vodianova by vincent peters
there would not be a proper ending to fdib without a last (or prelast who knows? one month to countdown!) post on tfuc, one of the most creative place online and who knows, a kind of fucked-up fdib’s twin.
tfuc’s latest feature is an interview of vincent peters, who told the fuck-up crew that “digital [has] done to...

Dear readers, friends and collaborators of all kind, as you may have guessed reading the title or seeing the visual we have chosen for today, this is going to be a rather special post in FDIB’s history. First of all, we would like to thanks everyone who followed or took part in the incredible venture this project was for us during five years full of passion and dedication to what...

jefimija jokic @ women, milan. gucci fall winter 2011-12
might not be the casting of the century and she is not (yet) one to put on our favorites-list but first the cast at gucci made a little more sens than many (famous) others, keeping the distinctive aesthetic of the brand alive or just fitting ours a little more closely than what others did. up to you to like or dislike whatever you see,...

quite frustrating pictures are only “small previews” (can’t even read the photographer’s name) and shame bookstores here don’t have the mag already but no emergency we will see it soon enough. might just be typical black and white studio shots but this story seems quite refreshing at first sight. unlike too many...

milly at one, again
inspiration is not where others see it but where you find it. there are labyrinths in our minds and everyday we have to find a new way to move on. forward. not always in the direction everyone else imagines but that’s the guilty pleasure of having hidden plans to realise a dreams.

kate king @ elite, nyc
by nando esparza. i spared this pic from the story we wrote on fdib yesterday as it was one of these photographs you like to see alone. quick look and high inspiration. leaving a mark that stays in your mind after this short moment.
and was quite a good opportunity to let you discover nando’s blog, where you can enjoy his latest work.

valerija kelava @ oui management, paris
vogue italia february 2011, paolo roversi
the title of the story says it all: black, white, polkadots (we just didn’t select pics with stripes even if they were pretty good as well).
strong contrasts, soft vibrations, good tempo and energy all over the editorial. the ultimate proof there is still a lot to show when it comes to colorless pictures...

vogue italia january 2011 by steven meisel
just think about the careers of the two models. how they arrived where they are and what i took. time, of course. which in modeling means stamina and a real dose of power to stay.

marloes horst by sam bisso
are scouts dreaming of finding an equally powerful model when they take a train or plane to the netherlands? certainly they do. do they dream to find another marloes, hope not but guess some do. that would be a kind of industrial caricature though. netherlands have offered various beauty type since the country has been labeled a hot modeling spot. going from marloes...
