There is nothing like a bit of beauty to brighten things up: looking at Daniel Jackson‘s pristine photos from the latest Vogue Nippon, we were instantly struck by the amazing artistry behind the hair and makeup. The hair-raising looks created by Didier Malige, are nothing short of amazing. Beauties, Julia Hafstrom, Sharon Kavjian and Kamila Filipcikova, wear tri-color bouffants and up-dos with flair. Add in Gucci Westman‘s dramatic makeup (check out the amazing drawn on eyebrows) (and Alastair McKimm‘s styling) and you have the making of a spectacular beauty story.

MDC chose Georgina Stoljiljkovic as a Top F/W Newcomer, back in March. With her first major campaign, the new F/W 08 Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti shot by Mark Segal, Georgina lives up to the billing. Stylist: Tabitha Simmons, hair: Didier Malige, makeup: Aaron de Mey. Mark is a rising star photographer who has been working a lot with French Vogue. Ms. Ferretti backstage during Fashion Week, has a very nice energy to her!
