Open up the new Vogue Italia and you’ll see the stunning Vanessa Axente looking amazing in Steven Meisel‘s ultra-chic imagery, but take a closer look and you may get a case of deja vu. Don’t those long blonde waves look familiar, isn’t the outsized eroticism and in your face glamour reminiscent of a time, a place? If you started to hear the Rolling Stones playing the background and got a distinctly 70s feel from the entire endeavor, you’re on the right track. Meisel looks back to the iconic allure of Jerry Hall and the saturated, decadent imagery of the disco era. You’ll see hints of Helmut Newton, Willie Christie, Antonio Lopez and more in Meisel’s images, while Karl Templer transforms Resort pieces into over the top looks fit for Studio 54. With a swipe of Pat McGrath applied red lipstick and a Guido Palau coiffed waves, Vanessa transforms into a latter day Jerry, while Marlon Teixeira provides the manpower.

Denim never looked as appealing as on the inimitable Constance Jablonski surrounded by a trio of sculpted young men in January’s W Magazine. Constance, Marlon Teixeira, Joan Pedrola and newcomer Isaac Weber/Ford, are all perfectly retro styled by Alex White in Knoepfel & Indlekofer‘s sharp and sexy pics.

m4 models‘s Alexander Wolf (found at Oktoberfest!) has us mesmerized with his unforgettable presence (doesn’t he look like he should be in Twilight?). There are some major players circling as well around this young German man.
