Frejarina

Soft and hard edge. Only Freja can work this look. Love the amazing pose, the ease at making such a difficult movement. Two of the opposite combination match together. Freja and Craig McDean collaboration is superb. So loving it!

The New Batch

Kudos to Vogue China again for featuring such a stellar new casts.

Models from Liu Wen to Kiki Kang; Hanne and Patricia van de Vliet; Karlie Kloss and Mirte Maas; Du Juan, Philip Huang and Shu Pei and others are featured in the February issue. Although the cover itself is a pretty one, I would very much prefer Liu Wen to be on the cover. I don't understand how she could be the most sought after Chinese fashion model at this time and yet she's not granted for a Chinese Vogue cover. I don't mean that Shu Pei does not deserve it- she does but I just feel that it is extremely unfair to Liu Wen. At that peak period of Du Juan's modeling time, she has graced so many of Chinese Vogue covers (and still counting). Mirte, on the other hand, looks amazing here. I like the white Gucci dress they wore and the gold font. So pure- like.

Editorials that caught my attention are :

Hanne's Under My Skin

and Karlie's Perfect Sport.

Meiselpic

I think it's a fun idea to toy around the idea using social network Twitter in Vogue Italia. What's even more surprising is that Steven Meisel himself is in the editorial. Photo quality wise is quite bad since this is supposed to be self-taken pictures. Theme wise, creatively fun. Some of my fave:

There are 20 models in this editorial from Meisel regulars Lara Stone, Sasha Pivovarova, Anna Selezneva, Natasha Poly,Viktoriya Sasonkina to supermodels Naomi Campbell,Kristen McMenamy, Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bundchen, Natalia Vodionova and Christy Turlington. Then, there's Agyness Deyn, Jamie Bochert, Karen Elson and Sessilee Lopez. And, lastly current crop of top models Hanne Gaby, Karlie Kloss, Abbey Lee, Kasia Struss and first time collabrator Freja Beha albeit rumors that Meisel will not cast Freja for his works. Things change, I guess.

La Femme Iekeliene

Te Deseo

Loving Iekeliene and her very feminine look here. Nice for a change. We're so used to see the uber cool Iekeliene but with this kind of editorial, she shows us that she could do sexy too. Kudos to Vogue Spain team and photographer Michelle Ferrera.

Wonder Jac

I have always loved Jac! She's so young and yet she's so mature on runways and in editorials. Latest work for Numero #107. Just admire her.

Rockin' Couple

Who on earth would think that Ali Stephens and Allen Tsai could be such a matching couple in all the hard attitude they're giving to "I Love Shopping" editorial in Numero Tokyo # 107. If I could have it my way, I would name it "I Love Rock & Roll". Ali is certainly the princess of editorial. She just have that kind of versatility to channel into the character needed into the shot. Way to go, Ali!

With the Boys

Another cover for the German beauty, Toni Garrn.

This time is the November cover of Numero Tokyo together with an editorial inside partnering 4 male models- Tyler Riggs, Lyle Lodwick, Marcel Castenmiller and Joseph Culp -and some scooters and motorbikes! Cool!

Coco @ Vogue Mexico

It's been quite a while since Coco appear in any magazine cover. This is quite a surprise and I believe that this is her debut for a magazine cover since she colored her hair a darker tone. I do love her in her red haired days but I have to say that this color does suit her too. Coco has such a pale skin that I believe any darker tone than that of her skin tone can suit her well. I can't imagine her going blonde though. Speaking of Coco, her cover and editorial for Vogue Mexico is so good that good is not enough as a word. I miss Coco when she's not working.
