Expect the unexpected, V Magazine gives us Jamie Bochert as we’ve never seen her before. Looking bronzed and buff, Jamie poses (and dances) alongside James Applewhite, a dancer from the American Ballet Theatre, in Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin‘s vibrant editorial. Styled by Joe McKenna and featuring some of the seasons most extreme pieces, the story crackles with energy and life.

Don’t mess with Brooke Shields and Elaine Irwin, the two modeling legends lead an all star cast in Bruce Weber‘s campy extravaganza for Vogue Paris. Starring as a pair of femme fatale police officers, the duo shoots guns, puts down criminals and looks fierce while doing so. Candice Swanepoel joins Brooke and Elaine for the high drama send up of television’s kitschy soaps and she looks right at home next to her supermodel co-stars. All in all the story is a dash of much needed humor and Joe McKenna‘s styling is pitch perfect, who knew Versace could look so good next to police blues?

Marilyn’s very coveted Eniko shot a story by Inez & Vinoodh and Joe McKenna for an epic 20 pages in the new V. The edit mingles a kind of lingerie feeling with a long, languid 70′s silhouette to create the kind of lush imagery particular to I&V. For more pics go to VMagazine.com
