'The Graduate'-Inspired Editorials

Helena Christensen & Ed Westwick in Harper's Bazzar

— February 12, 2009 — Fashion
Like it or not, "Gossip Girl" has a big influence on fashion. Its wardrobe is desired by a large number of fashion-loving fans. On the official website, you can even browse and find related and similar clothes from your favorite Upper East Side star.

Serena Van Der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf are the main characters on the tv show that “reveals the scandalous life of Manhattan’s elite.”

On the show and in real life, actress Blake Lively (Serena) dates her co-star Penn Badgley (Dan). Blake has already been featured on Vogue cover recently and Penn can be seen on a contribution here at Trend Hunter.

But everyone’s favorite is Chuck Bass, played by Ed Westwick.

The bad boy is famous for his taste for elegant clothes and for his vicious behave. Rumors say that he and his roommate and co-star Chace Crawford (featured recently on the cover of V Man Magazine) are more than friends.

The gallery shows an editorial featuring Westwick and über-model Helena Christensen for Harper's Bazaar. In it, Terry Richardson captures the two icons in a scandalous love affair, a la 1967's "The Graduate."
