The season’s voluminous proportions are brought to life in the pages of V Magazine with this striking editorial by Kacper Kasprzyk featuring a host of signature pieces selected by stylist, Tom Van Dorpe. (Paris: Management + Artists, New York: Management + Artists). Those larger than life Céline belts, the sculptural Calvin Klein coats, even a hint of well placed Azzedine Alaïa for good measure – all of pre-fall’s best offerings are on display. With her piercing gaze and incredible cheekbones, rising star Sam Rollinson seems made for Kasprzyk’s stark photography and these high drama ensembles.

The strongest looks of the season come to life, in Sundsbø’s streamlined interpretation of athletic chic. Clad in barely there, Cortina selected pieces from Marc Jacobs, Azzedine Alaia and Prada, Andrea cuts a fine figure against the crystalline blue sky backdrop. Running in Tom Ford’s mile high heels isn’t a full-fledge sport yet, but Sundsbø’s beautiful shots  manage to make such impossible feats look downright appealing.

The latest edition of Oyster Magazine features the dangerous curves of Daisy Lowe and a slithering serpent twisting its way around her body. The imagery is classic, a beautiful woman as the ultimate temptation, a motif we’ve seen in everything from renaissance paintings to Avedon portraits, but Will Davidson makes it feel fresh. Focusing on the slinky selection of Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton & Azzedine Alaia chosen by Stevie Dance and Daisy’s sixties chic look, Davidson crafts a story that is stark yet sensual.

Style.com/Print might be a brand new publication, but the magazine spinoff of Style.com hasn’t forgotten about the old masters. Azzedine Alaia‘ s timeless designs feature prominently in a story by Kacper Kasprzyk starring Saskia de Brauw. Sporting fishnets and Alaia’s luxe couture pieces chosen by Tony Irvine, Saskia makes for a modern flapper.

Fresh off her Vogue Italia cover, Robyn Lawley lands in Vogue Australia‘s first ever plus size editorial.

Tar Magazine‘s blend of fashion and art, makes for some truly unusual editorials and Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello‘s sexy, mysterious and somewhat off-kilter tale featuring Dree Hemingway is no exception. Masked men, ancient ruins, a slew of Samuel Francois selected pieces from Azzedine Alaia and Maison Martin Margiela, it all works to create an engaging atmosphere that grabs your attention.

Azzedine Alaia has been a fashion force for nearly 4 decades and his work never fails to entice with its trademark blend of sensuality and elegance. Gwen Loos wears head to toe Alaia looks in the premier issue of a new fashion glossy, Virgine and looks striking while doing so. Txema Yeste shoots the jet black lace and leather pieces styled by Sohei Yoshida, while Teiji Utsemi and Victor Alvarez provide off kilter hair and makeup to match the editorial’s sexy but edgy feel.
