Knoepfel & Indlekofer bring Caroline Brasch Nielsen into their black and white world, with a chic story for Vogue Russia. Styled by Veronique Didry, the shoot features Caroline looking androgynous with short dark hair and a streamlined wardrobe of sleek seasonal wares. A studded leather jacket, a few Vuitton tops and a those unforgettable Prada stripes: that is all it takes to make Caroline look like the epitome of cool.

Campaigns. We can’t get enough of the Spring ads. Unlike previous seasons where an overarching theme repeated through several campaigns, S/S 2011 is all about individuality; whether that means smart city chic ala DKNY’s clean ads featuring Heidi Mount and Kori Richardson, or all out fantasy as in the butterfly filled, Lindsey Wixson ads for Alexander McQueen. Some campaigns keep true to the spirit of the collection – Louis Vuitton’s chinoiserie motif repeats in the Steven Meisel helmed campaign, while others go in bold new directions. Armani’s refined collection is given a styling update in the ads by Nick Knight, the addition of a turban on Elisa Sednaoui gives the look more drama.

Even the simplest campaigns seem to have different moods this season; both Valentino and Calvin Klein go for black and white purity, but Valentino’s feminine David Sims shots of Caroline Brasch Nielsen, Julia Saner and Freja Beha Erichsen, are the exact opposite of CK’s austere Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott images of Lara Stone.

S/S Campaigns are trickling in and from the looks of it we can expect an exciting and inventive season of fresh ads. Two of our favorites to debut are from houses who consistently provide great imagery.

Juergen Teller creates a colorful romp for Marc Jacobs’ ads, featuring Caroline Brasch Nielsen and Masha Kirsanova. Wearing straw hats and bright 70s inspired looks from the collection, the duo looks reminiscent of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver.

Givenchy’s spring ads by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are minimal and stark – in contrast to last season’s bright poppy colors. The campaign featuring Daphne Groeneveld, albino male model Stephen Thompson, Iris Strubegger and of course, Mariacarla Boscono.

Vogue Russia might be known for over the top escapades (just take a look at the current cover’s Balmain overload) but the magazine is best when it keeps it simple. Case in point, Anthony Maule‘s elegant black and white shots of Caroline Brasch Nielsen, a relatively to the point editorial filled with strong shapes, clean lines and great poses. Géraldine Saglio‘s styling captures the allure of minimalist glam, while showing off a few incredible jewels from the likes of Tiffany and David Yurman.

With a fresh perspective and a wealth of creativity, Antidote provides a cure for the common fashion magazine. Devised as an alternative to traditional fare, the magazine gives one photographer free range to interpret an editorial theme via a variety of photo stories. The inaugural issue tackles the topic of denim with a series of breathtaking shoots created by Thomas Lagrange and editor in chief Yann Weber, plus accompanying articles that detail the history and mythology of everyone’s favorite wardrobe staple.

Dansk‘s vision for fall is minimal, modern and utterly sleek, their September cover by Henrik Bulow features Caroline Brasch Nielsen, looking icy in a slate grey shift by Danish label Spon Diogo. The barely there tagline of ‘modesty’ hints at an unostentatious and stripped down look, but the images inside are just as lush and vibrant as we’ve come to expect from Dansk; Charlie France‘s elegant shoot with Lowe Seger and Missy Rayder‘s sexy pics styled by Joanne Blades, being standouts.

Steven Meisel creates classic iconography with his latest shoot for Vogue Italia; dreamy black and whites, retro swimwear chosen by Karl Templer and the most beautiful newcomers. Kirsi Pyrhonen, Hind Sahli, Ylonka Verheul, Daria Strokous, Julia Nobis, and Caroline Brasch Nielsen star in a spectacular story that is reminiscent of vintage images from 60s editions of Vogue.
