Fashion and art collide in an expressive and eclectic editorial filled with one of a kind portraits: this is the kind of off the wall imagery Dazed does best!

Two pre-fall looks we love, two pre-fall looks we don’t.
The collections dissected with commentary- every other day till the pre-season wraps.

LOVED IT – DEREK LAM
This look isn’t reinventing the wheel, but Derek made the whole sage utilitarian thing look so luxe on Caroline Brasch Nielsen that we can’t help but love it. Wearable, practical and completely in line with the pre-fall aesthetic.

WTF?! – BALENCIAGA
The problem with being a consumate trendsetter is that sometimes you’re just too ahead of the curve. Nicolas Ghesquiere has perfectly approximated what we’ll all be wearing post-apocalypse, right down to the multiple hats and protective gloves. We can barely see the lovely Marte Mei van Haaster beneath all this!

LOVED IT – NINA RICCI
Who can argue with perfection? This dramatic Nina Ricci number looks couture worthy on Josephine Skriver.

OIC… – STELLA McCARTNEY
When Stella McCartney labeled herself “too sensible” earlier in the week we failed to see the problem, however after viewing these glorified long johns we’re starting to understand where she’s coming from. There is a time and a place for thermal underwear and pre-fall is not it. Even Marique Schimmel can’t pull off Snuggie-chic.

Russh wraps up the year with a beautiful look at laid back fashions and a host of the seasons model MVPs. The “Born to Be” issue embraces the individual, whether they’re wild or tame and provides a Russh take on the fashion extremes. Marique Schimmel graces the hippie chic cover by Nick Dorey and stars in the engaging fashion feature. Inside Marte Mei van Haaster and Monika Sawicka showcase the current trend for deconstructed denim in Amy Troost‘s denim story, while Bambi Northwood Blyth is a beauty come undone in Stephen Ward‘s images. Last but not least, Fresh face Anna Brewster is the picture of ethereal loveliness in Derek Henderson‘s black and white ‘Cloud Street’.

Preview the image for yourself with these exclusives from the Dec/Jan issue of Russh.

Mikael Jansson takes Querelle Jansen and Marte Mei van Haaster into fresh territory with a spectacular story for Interview. Focusing on pieces with feminine details like lace and crocheting, Karl Templer styles the duo in colorful looks from Marc Jacobs and Valentino and with lingerie accents from Araks. With their skilled posing Querelle and Marte Mei really bring each ensemble to life. Take a closer look and you’ll also spot an exciting preview of the Prada jewelry collection – who can resist that gorgeous rosette necklace on Querelle! It is the contrast between the girly clothing and jewelry and the hard edged backdrop designed by Mary Howard that really makes this story shine.
