Kim is not the only member of the Kardashian clan to pose nude. Add sister Kourtney to the list.

Perhaps, as way to purge herself of a nine-year tumultuous marriage Kourtney has been posed for Vanity Fair. This is the second time around for Kourtney. She posed nude for Dujour magazine in 2014.

Brian Bowen Smith photographed the nude images of Kourtney Kardashian for a series called “Metallic Life.” “Metallic Life” will be on display at the De Re Gallery in Los Angeles from October 22–November 19.

20 years of Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz celebrates 20 years as a sponsor for fashion weeks around the world. In 1996, Mercedes-Benz sponsored its first fashion week in Sydney, Australia. Later, fashion weeks followed in Melbourne, New York, Berlin, Milan, Beijing, Miami, Madrid, Moscow, Stockholm, Mexico City, Tokyo, Johannesburg, Malta, and Istanbul.

Though the luxury car company has bowed out of fashion weeks in New York and Milan, currently Mercedes-Benz sponsors fashion events in 27 countries with 41 world fashion events. Mercedes-Benz has also recently launched the ‘Road Couture’ program, featuring collaborations between young stylists and the car brand. And according to fashionmag.com, there is a new initiative supporting young designers, “the setting up in the coming weeks of a major partnership with an international designer, in order to develop ways of supporting young, innovative and ambitious designers.”

Pat strikes gold

Pat McGrath is perhaps the world’s most well-known and influential make-up artist. Well, after years of doing make-up for such iconic fashion brands as Prada, Margiela, Gucci, Chanel, as well as a host of others, McGrath has partnered with Proctor & Gamble Cosmetics where she is creative director to launch her first beauty product.

Gold 001, a gold eye shadow, debuted at the Prada spring 2016 runway show and was launched at an event at Tuilieries Garden during Paris Fashion Week presented by models Bella Hadid, Jaime Bochert and Hailey Baldwin.  Gold 001 was also used on Kim Kardashian in an August editorial in Violet Grey magazine.
