The sweltering heat of the city surrounds Daria Werbowy, as she reclines on a mattress outside, attempting to either sunbathe or have a quick afternoon nap of sorts. This image is taken from Steven Klein and Karl’s editorial ‘Heat’, originally published in W Magazine’s October 2007 issue.

One of my favourite images of Jac, this vintage-feel photograph by Craig McDean sees the Polish model perched on a piece of driftwood, looking out to sea on a clouded over afternoon in Malibu. Gorgeous imagery by any definition IMO.

A sunny image starring Daria Strokous, Maud Welzen and Janis Ancens, taken from Craig and Karl’s Belstaff ad campaign series. All three models definitely look ready to enjoy a weekend in the (rare) English sunshine here.

Jay-Z takes a moment to answer a phone call in this endearing image from his Interview February 2010 cover editorial by Craig McDean. Is Beyoncé calling? Could be I suppose.

Cara Delevigne plays the role of a vintage siren lounging about in the decadent late 19th century furnishings of a Parisian hotel room in this captivating image from her recent editorial for Interview’s April 2013 issue, shot by Peter Lindbergh.

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:30:44 -0400

One of my favourite Interview covers (well under Fabien Baron at least) is this icy one of Mary-Kate Olsen for March 2009, conceived by Craig and Karl. The ever consistent duo transform the pop culture icon into an otherworldly nymph, whose innocent stare draws you right into the image seen on this cover.

Abbey Lee’s innocent, girlish attire strikes a clear contrast with her eerie, abandoned backdrop of a closed cinema. An example of how well Mikael Jansson can mix sweet and scary imagery together seamlessly. This image was sourced from Model Couture’s Live Journal page.

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:24:20 -0400

Margherita Missoni proves to be quite a convincing editorial model in this intense and slightly austere shot. Steven Meisel’s image of the Missoni fashion house heiress is taken from his Vogue Italia February 2009 editorial, ‘So Young, So Cool’.

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:19:39 -0400

A captivating image of Sasha Pivovarova here, taken from Craig and Karl’s excellent ‘Seduction’ editorial from Interview’s April 2013 issue. The Russian model hides her eyes from view in this soft, sensual image. I think that the top in this shot actually appears in red in the magazine, so I don’t know why it’s blue here. Must have slipped past the Interview editing desk then!

Mon, 13 May 2013 13:16:47 -0400

There’s an East Asian spirit to this image of Edie Campbell by Steven Meisel, mainly due to Karl’s restained styling of a white jacket and skirt, which are ironically not by Rei or Yohji, but by Miu Miu and Christopher Kane.

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.

Thu, 09 May 2013 13:31:00 -0400

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.

Thu, 09 May 2013 13:28:32 -0400

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.

Mon, 06 May 2013 13:15:34 -0400

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.
