Tanga Moreau was one of the most unforgettable faces of the 90s and 00s, fashion fans may remember her staring back at them from ads for Ralph Lauren, Versus and Jil Sander and now the beauty returns in the latest issue of Vogue Paris. In the story shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin and styled by Camilla Nickerson, Tanga looks as strong and distinctive as she did when she first came on the scene. 2010 is shaping up to be a year that reenergizes fashion and the return of striking girls like Tanga is a sure sign that things are changing for the better.

Each year W‘s art issue overflows with creative energy, merging the worlds of fashion and art into one and enlisting some of the most innovative talents in both fields for truly imaginative editorials. This year sculptor Maurizio Cattelan conceives an emotionally charged story shot by Pierpaolo Ferrari and staring the legendary Linda Evangelista as an enigmatic woman of our times. Mixing political and religious imagery with arresting shots of Linda as a gilded Madonna and fallen society dame, the story stands out as one of the most compelling in a long while. The artistry behind this story is evident on all levels from Camilla Nickerson‘s distinctive styling to Gideon Ponte‘s intricate sets. Even the cover, which hints at the recession crunch with a knowing wink, is as memorable and evocative an image as W has ever produced. View the story in full on W Magazine.com

Dree Hemingway goes the extra mile in the latest W. The blonde beauty joins actress, Jennifer Jason Leigh in Juergen Teller‘s ode to Woodstock. While the story isn’t exactly like the fabled festival it manages to capture the peaceful, free love atmosphere that made the era so interesting. Throw in a snake and a little grunge styling courtesy of Camilla Nickerson and you have the makings of a memorable edit.

The industry always excitedly waits for the Calvin show as it never fails to debut some of the season’s most coveted faces.

The consistently powerful casting by Maida and Rami ushered in the arrival of 16 year old Louise from Belgium, winner of the Elite Model Look Europe 2008. Addison Gill, the Canadian winner of the V/Supreme model contest emerged in the stellar lineup and everyone finally undestood why she was curiously MIA this past week. Perhaps the most exciting exclusive was the 17 year old American, Lyndsey from Click Models, scoring the first Calvin show exclusive for a young woman of color. Lyndsey was found by Click on MDC’s scouting feature! 17 year old Canadian Bojana from IMG was a dark haired beauty, a welcome change from the blondes galore.

Some other tidbits from the Camilla Nickerson styled show.. Jac (MDC’s top F/W 09 newcomer) opened and closed Calvin; we can say Jac is officially cleaning up this fashion week. Other new faces appearing for their first time in Calvin were Hannah (another MDC top newcomer) and the new faces at Women Direct, Alla and Dorothea.
