90s favorite Ana Claudia Michels, the exquisite uber blonde who reigned supreme within the pages of Vogue is back and in a big way. The Brazilian beauty snagged the coveted girl one slot at Givenchy where the casting was nothing short of impeccable. Returning beauties Frankie Rayder and Dewi Driegen shined while campaign stars Lakshmi Menon, Mariacarla Boscono and Natasha Poly took turns displaying Tisci’s luxe gothic fashions. Rounding out the pack were the seasons stars Hanne Gaby Odiele, Taryn Davidson and Anna Gushina.

After a lengthy hiatus for marriage and motherhood IMG beauty Frankie Rayder is back on the scene and better than ever. With two Inez and Vinoodh lensed campaigns – Roberto Cavalli and Stella McCartney respectively – Frankie shows she hasn’t lost her midas touch. The Il Gattopardo inspired look of the California shot Cavalli ads showcase Frankie’s flair for drama.
