Steven Meisel shoots his favorite faces as the embodiment of fall’s signature styles: Caroline Trentini, Daria Strokous, Fei Fei Sun, Jourdan Dunn, Mirte Maas, Coco Rocha, Arizona Muse and Raquel Zimmermann, take on a variety of looks from romantically ethereal separates, to futuristic minimalism. Styled by Grace Coddington and Michael Philouze, with gorgeous hair and makeup by Guido Palau & Pat McGrath, the story is an absolute delight. American Vogue‘s September issue continues to leave us pleasantly surprised!

Vogue Russia has never shied away from all out glamour: the often ostentatious looks that grace their pages offer a taste of maximalism, but August’s cover story with Daria Strokous takes a subtler approach. The luxurious details are all there in Mariano Vivanco‘s images: gold jewelry, oversized hats, ornate furs yet Ekaterina Mukhina‘s styling looks effortless. Andrey Zakharov joins Daria for a little one on one and they make for an ultra-cool couple.

Some of Spring’s most compelling campaigns take a less is more approach, with a focus on the combination of great models and impeccably constructed clothes. When you’ve got Jana Knauerova, Melissa Tammerijn, Julia Nobis or Erin Wasson striking regal poses in deceptively simple dresses, you really don’t need much more. The Jil Sander ads takes the trend one step further, all but erasing Daria Strokous‘ beautiful face in some of the spring shots. Willy Vanderperre is certainly on a roll this season!

Has Steven Meisel gone soft on us? The master photographer is showing his sugary side with in the new campaigns for Juicy Couture and Mulberry. The overdose of bright colors, youthful energy and over the top girlishness may have some missing Meisel’s darker moments, but the carefree shots of Hanne, Abbey, Eliza and Daria are perfectly atuned to the lighthearted feel of both brands.

Steven Meisel serves up an elegant story with an impressive cast for Vogue; Christina Kruse, Sasha Pivovarova, Caroline Trentini, Daria Strokous and Mirte Maas, star in Meisel’s woodland fantasy and look impeccable in fall’s ornate and luxurious coats. The girls aren’t the only stars of the show though,  Marie-Amelie Sauve‘s skillful styling, makes the eclectic pieces look even better than they did on the runway.

Prada’s F/W womenswear campaign is a colorful ode to torch singers and intimate nightclubs; the blue tinted photos by Steven Meisel feature an all-star cast lead by Angela Lindvall, who takes on the role of chanteuse with aplomb. Valerija Kelava, Miranda Kerr, Daria Strokous, Sigrid Agren, Kim Dall Armi, Clement Chabernaud, Mark Cox, and Mathias Bergh come together to create a scene straight out of Fellini – do you think the ads do the F/W collection justice?

As Milan men’s show wraps up for S/S 11, a flurry of Fall/Winter 10 campaigns descend. The venerable Italian powerhouses of Dolce & Gabbana, Miu, Miu and Prada all reveal their direction come September. What’s inspiring you for fall?
