Vogue Italia Feb. 2012

Vogue Italia Feb. 2012
As much as we love Taylor Swift on the cover of American Vogue, Vogue Italia never fails to present a fantastic cover. Model  Laura Kampman lands the February 2012 cover, wearing a Blumarine dress and photographed by the legendary Steven Meisel. This seems like an appropriate time to bring up the fact the American Vogue is about 'Who' wears the fashion and Italian Vogue is about 'Fashion.'

Candice Swanepoel and Prabal Make MAGIC!!

Prabal Gurung S/S 2012


A brunette Candice Swanepoel is the face of the Prabal Gurung S/S 2012 campaign. Candice smolders in Prabal's fantastic violet hue collection. This has to be one, if not the, best spring 2012 ad campaigns. These pictures have seriously made me speechless....

Vogue Japan March 2012

Model Bianca Balti lands the March 2012 cover of Vogue Japan. She is wearing head to toe Dolce and Gabbana from the bustier, bag and jewels. That bustier is beyond worthy of a Vogue cover and then styled with the vegetable jewels, its just perfect styling. The stark white background and bright font are signatures of Vogue Japan, that help to make it stand out from the pack.

'Vintage Piece' Of The Day

In the December 2008 issue of American Vogue, photographer Annie Leibovitz showcased a 20 page spread inspired by the iconic film 'The Wizard of Oz.' Actress Keira Knightley starred in the spread as Dorthy along with several other famous cameos. This is seriously one of the best spreads that American Vogue has ever published. The execution is exquisite, the clothing is prominent, the concept is inspiring and THIS is what Vogue can do with all of the amazing creative people it has at its disposal.

Men: Givenchy F/W 2012

Designer Ricardo Tisci presented another AMAZING men's collection for Givenchy F/W 2012. He continues to have a clear and concise idea of how a modern, forward thinking man could dress like. The collection had an American feel to it but, with the color scheme of red, white and black.(See the full collection Here)  He still showcased masculine skirts for the fall collection but, what stood out the most were the studded detail shirts. The detail felt 'new' and completely wearable without giving off a 'punk' feel. Below are detailed shots of the studded shirts courtesy of Homme Model

Natalia Vodianova For Stella McCartney S/S 2012

Stella McCartney S/S 2012
Legendary model Natalia Vodianova returns as the face of Stella McCartney for the S/S 2012 campaign photographed by Mert & Marcus. Stella's campaign's are always whimsical but, the colorful flowers surrounding Natalia are too distracting. Its difficult for the viewer to fully concentrate on the wonderful spring collection. Overall the campaign gets an 'A' for trying something new and interesting, even if the results are debatable.
