    i-D | The Fairest of Them All–Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen & Eva Herzigova Nude by Kayt Jones

    Styled by Pippa Vosper, Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen and Eva Herzigova come together to create a divine supermodel trinity. Clad in accessory must-haves, the trio are photographed by Kayt Jones in a way that gives younger models a run for their money. Perhaps the old saying rings true–age ain’t nothing but a number. These three seem to prove so.

    Aliens and life from outer space have long been the stuff of Hollywood films and science conventions, however Tim Walker’s creative concept for Vogue UK aptly titled “The Lady who fell to earth” is intergalactic chic! Taking the traditional spacecraft saucer shape and borrowing heavily from a macabre Tim Burton-esque vibe, this shoot showcases the ladylike style embodied by this otherworldly creature. With sets and props as equally important as the clothing, the overall composition is beautifully executed and captures the imagination. Many of the current silhouettes are strong, bold and of galactic proportions, relying heavily on fabric textures and key accessories that have a futuristic, inter-planetary feel. - Kate Vandermeer.

    Photographer Paul Wetherell gets up close and personal with Madisyn Ritland for 10 magazine’s latest issue. Entitled, “Louche”, the layout is a juxtaposition of intimate shots featuring the American model in some of her best print work yet. With the help of fashion editor Lucy Ewing, Wetherell manages to blend each image into the next, creating one remarkable story.

    I love this…I have an idea that I’ve been wanting to do which is similar to these extreme close ups. This is one of my favorite editorials so far.
