Are we in the midst of a Karmen Pedaru moment? All signs point to yes; as the lithe Estonian burns up the runways of Milan we’re treated to several stunning new covers of Karmen this month. The Pedaru visage is featured on some of the coolest magazines in existence and each image provides its own creative take on her appeal.

As one of the ten top model covers of The Last Magazine, Karmen exudes sensuality in Lachlan Bailey (Paris: Management + Artists, New York: Management + Artists)’s sultry black and white shot. On Flair‘s cover Karmen provides an elegant ease that Katja Rahlwes (Paris: Management + Artists, New York: Management + Artists) captures beautifully. That said, the most unexpected cover shot has to be i-D Magazine‘s trippy Daniel Sannwald (New York: Management + Artists, Paris: Management + Artists) image that comes complete with a gif party.

Arena Homme + goes into psychedelic territory with a stellar story starring the white hot Max Rendell. Shot by Daniel Sannwald in a sleek, out of this world style, the edit features some cutting edge menswear from Jil Sander, Prada and more, but shown in a way that elevates each piece into the realm of artwork. You won’t look at these pieces in the same way again!

An infectious ode to all things sugary, from Tamara Rothstein selection of sexy ensembles, to Gary Card‘s pastel set and the lovely Miss Gustavsson herself, it doesn’t get much sweeter than this. Sannwald pushes the envelope beyond a simply pretty story and into a trippy and at times outlandish tale.

Sannwald and artist Anselm Reyle produce a colorful set of images that elevate the cover page into a gallery space and serve as a creative showcase for fashion’s current queen. Styled by Tamara Rothstein, the shoot features a slew of Dior couture pieces from past and present.

Arena Homme + is one of the groundbreaking men’s style bibles and the new issue certainly doesn’t disappoint. Lensman Daniel Sannwald along with men’s styling legend Simon Foxton take rising face Fernando Cabral and create a breathtaking feature of the best bright colors for fall. From a strong red Dior Homme coat to a simple blue G-Star shirt, Fernando’s sculptural face and figure provide the perfect backdrop to AH+’s high-low picks of the season.

Life got you down? Dazed and Confused counters the current crisis with a strong dose of fashion optimism – their wild and cheery December issue is dedicated to fresh talent. Shot by Daniel Sannwald the artistically inclined cover features two of the seasons most delightful faces – FW08 Top 10 Newcomer Kate Somers and Nathan Sutherland. This is not the first time the charming duo has worked together – they also shared a catwalk at Marc by Marc Jacobs.
