Kemptress: Eva Herzigova

We’re glad to see that one of our favorite women of all time, gorgeous Czech model Eva Herzigova is still getting work at the ripe old age of 35.

Last year when Louis Vuitton signed her up for their supermodel extravaganza, we figured it was a one-off for a favored LV face of years past; however the brand just brought her back for its new ad campaign, shot by Mert and Marcus at the Unisphere in Queens. Unfortunately in a few of the shots they’ve decked her out in some rather hideous garments reminiscent of those lamentable Bond girl outfits from the ’80s - think Barbara Carrrera as Fatima Blush in Never Say Never Again.

We of course prefer our Eva unclothed, or nearly so, hence the above shot.

Though we haven’t reviewed the mag in its entirety, the outlook is good for the Style Guy’s first fully revamped issue of Interview (September), which is about to hit newsstands. We should have known Ye Olde O’Brien would make things a lot more interesting.

In lieu of the endless fawning profiles of Elton John that cluttered up the pages under the previous regime, we now have full frontal nudes of Kate Moss. The snap here, by fashion photog duo Mert and Marcus, accompanies an interview penned by—you guessed it—Glenn O’Brien.

Because what’s the good of being editor if you can’t grab all the plum assignments for yourself?
