Direct Copy?

Your opinion. A straight-off copy? Which is the better version? I have to say though, even if US Vogue is the original cover, I like the Vogue China cast better- Du Juan and Liu Wen (dream come true- I really hope Liu Wen got the front cover instead of Du Juan but Du Juan is a powerhouse in China- well, at least Liu Wen's in the cover) and Karlie, Constance, Anna J and Lily Donaldson. I think the Vogue China cover serves the purpose of top models- established top models on front cover and rising stars on the back. Agree?

A lot like her

These latest Jan 2010 editorials (from Vogue Nippon and Germany respectively) make me wonder, are they the next big thing?

No, this is not Lily Donaldson but Bregje Heinen does look like her twin sister here. They're almost identical. I never notice that Bregje looks so much like Lily. Watchout!

Toni looks a lot like Lara Stone here.If there's no indication at all, I would have mistaken her as Lara. But, of course, she has a softer look and that eyes are purely Toni's.

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.

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.

This is the shot

Which amazes me so much when I look at it, all the girls are so happy and I can see that its' environment is very easy. More magazines should feature shots like this. It's so natural and believable. My only complain is Jourdan, she should not have look down or maybe the photographer shot when's she's just not ready. Apart from that, I'm just happy these cheerful girls. Makes me want to buy this issue.

Fantastical Vogue China

It's not even September and Vogue China has comes out with such an outstanding issue! Sigrid Argen debuts in her first Vogue cover ( and many more to come,I believe) in this amazingly beautiful Oscar de la Renta dress.



Sigrid is, nonetheless, looking sparkling good on the cover but wait until you see what's inside. Continuing the amazing cover is a follow-up editorial titled "C'est Chic". Chic she is.




Last month, Anna Selezneva was capturing in her 32-pages editorial. This month, she is in "Be A Skin Diva", looking sensually captivating.




As every month that follows, Du Juan is a must for Vogue China. She is like a mascot to the magazine. Perharps, if there is no Du Juan, there will be no Vogue China. Du Juan is after all, dare I say, the most successful Chinese model. Yet I find this editorial an inspiring piece,most definitely because of all the things on going and I must say, the supporting models are what makes Du Juan stands out. She looks like a mentor to them.



Then, comes the must have studio shoot with Natasha Poly. Nothing quite special here except that Natasha Poly rarely appears on Vogue China and this is quite a surprise.



"Scientific Glamour" is where Eniko Mihalik shines. I like the part where she's posing next to the building background.





Lastly is the Beauty issue with Bruna Tenorio.

The Four Capitals

In the upcoming August issue of Vogue UK, Patrick Demarchelier captures Lily Donaldson, Karlie Kloss, Freja, Sasha Pivovarova and Anna Jagodzinska in shoots after the four capital cities of fashion- London, New York, Milan and Paris. Personally, I like Milan the best simply because it features two of my favorite models- Freja and Sasha. Theme wise, Paris is the better editorial because it's not shot in the studio and is far better than the New York editorial. Sasha is also the cover girl for this issue. I wonder when they will put Karlie or Freja on the cover?

New York
model: Anna Jagodzinska




London
model: Karlie Kloss




Milan
models: Freja Beha Erichsen and Sasha Pivovarova




Paris
model: Lily Donaldson
