Natasha Poly and Lily Donaldson both look ravishing in pristine white looks styled by Karl here; the former in a suit and the latter in an elegant evening gown. The Michael Thompson shot image depicts a night spent in the lounge of an expensive Las Vegas hotel; a location where decadence naturally reigns supreme. This image was sourced from W Magazine’s official Tumblr page.

Naomi Campbell manages to print a big of vintage movie star glamour to this sepia-toned portrait by Steven Meisel. The supermodel looks elegantly poised, wearing a lingerie-inspired ensemble, despite being propped up in an orthopedic chair of sorts. This image was sourced from Mode.Newslicious.net.

Mikael Jansson’s steamy yet dapper image of Mathias Bergh, Baastian van Gaalen, Breton J and John Pearson is almost like a modern, masculine take on Deborah Turbeville’s legendary ‘Bathhouse’ images from the 1970s. That’s not to say that Mikael doesn’t imbue the image with his signature slick lighting and composition; making this very much a n interpretation of classic fashion imagery, as opposed to a copy.

A shot that shows off the ease with which Mr. Templer can put together a slick, wearable, casual urban uniform here. Mark Vanderloo pulls off the look with ease here, in an image by Mikael Jansson for Arena’s May 1996 editorial, ‘The Getaway’.

Mikael Jansson and Karl Templer’s lively and lovely image from Façonnable’s Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign series depicts summer fun in the sun, enjoyed by some impeccably dressed friends. The picture makes you wish that you could join in with the fun that they appear to be having here!

Fei Fei Sun looks like a hypnotic siren in this colourful and sexy image by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The Chinese beauty draws you into an erotic fashion editorial picture, with her entrancing stare, whilst grasping onto Querelle Jansen’s legs all the while. Taken from Interview March 2011’s editorial, ‘China Girls’, easily Alas and Piggott’s best contribution to the magazine thus far in my eyes.

Irina Kravchenko and Meghan Collison seem to have finished rifling through boxes upon boxes of shoes by the looks of things in this Mikael Jansson helmed image from Interview’s recent editorial, ‘The Art of Shopping’. The two models relax on the carpeted floor of Bergdorf Goodmans, dressed in head to toe looks from Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 collection. This image was sourced from Mode.Newslicious.net.

Jacquelyn Jablonski, Jourdan Dunn and Toni Garrn bring some style and elegance to the preppy boat party depicted in Tommy Hilfiger’s current ad campaign, shot by McDean and styled by Templer as per usual.

An image of Karen Elson with some spiffed up friends from New Orleans that is certainly a lot more bohemian and relaxed than Karl’s typical work. The image photographed by Bruce Weber has an ease about it that carries on throughout the story that it was taken from; ‘Come On Down To Nawlins’, published in W Magazine’s April 2008 issue.

A spectacular shot of Saskia De Brauw that sees the Dutch model covered in a plastic sheet and standing in the front shop window, like a mannequin. Her static body language and icy gaze certainly help to convey a very, very realistic depiction of a life size doll here. Taken from Peter Lindbergh and Karl’s editorial, ‘For Sale’, from Interview’s March 2013 issue.
