Transparency was all over the S/S13 runways and as the season draws closer it seems fitting to explore one of its dominant trends. The house whose designs exemplified the look was VALENTINO, where designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli showed a variety of pieces that utilized transparency expertly, revealing skin but keeping the demure sophistication the brand has become known for. Whether they were dazzling with delicate embroidery, or creating a sublime showcase for the body via cutouts, the duo set the standard for diaphanous dressing.

One piece in particular took the look to its logical endpoint and dazzled with its whimsical cheekiness. The PVC trenchcoat embellished with the line’s signature rockstuds has become an editorial favorite, with stylists providing their own take on the Valentino look. The trench lends itself to a myriad of different interpretations and stylists did not disappoint, creating a variety of looks that range from sensual, to avant-garde. When a garment can go from the all out sexy of Missy Rayder‘s powerful image in Numero, to the easy cool on the back of Angela Lindvall it more than proves its versatility.

Boo George shows another side of the always alluring Alessandra Ambrosio with a stripped down story in Love Magazine. The images shot just a day before Ambrosio gave birth feature her looking serene on a sprawling beachfront in a simple t-shirt and cutoffs. George captures the VS glamazon at her most natural and radiant, eating an apple, relaxing by the shore and simply glowing.

Boo George (Streeters) tackles the sartorial allure of the west in the latest Numero Homme, enlisting Anna de Rijk, Baptiste Radufe & Rob Moore to star in an atmospheric set of images. Wearing bolo ties, voluminous suits and world weary looks, the trio embody an urbane vision of cowboy style as imaged by Caroline Newell. The black and white shots are emotive and starkly beautiful, while the color images strike a dreamy chord.

One of the fall fashion issues that really caught our attention was New York Times T Magazine. Under the direction of Sally Singer and with a little help from the likes of Hedi Slimane, Danko Steiner, Sebastian Kim and more, the issue features a vivid assortment of editorials and and an equally appealing lineup of top models. The issue is an absolute must have, but don’t take our word for it – have a peek inside and see for yourself.

In case you’ve haven’t had enough of phenomenal previews from the newest edition of Love Magazine, take a sneak peek at Alessandra Ambrosio, as a dashing naval sailor in Boo George‘s beautiful story from Issue No. 6. Alessandra is worlds away from her bombshell persona and she disappears into her role with panache. Sporting naval inspired looks selected by Anders Solvsten Thomsen, Alessandra looks phenomenal. We’re excited to see the rest of the story, which also features George Barnett, Alexander Beck, Sid Ellisdon, Danny Fox, Julius Gerhardt, Tommy Kristiansen, Robert Knighton, Kate King & Hannah Noble.

We’ve been fans of photographer Boo George for a long time now: his work always makes us feel like we’re peering into a serene and private world. The new Man About Town has Boo focusing his lens on model/musician Josh Tuckley (Select). Way Perry puts his distinctive stamp on the editorial with pitch perfect styling of the Zegna/ Z Zegna pieces.
