Every so often a fashion editorial looks beyond the usual sources of inspiration and creates something wonderfully unique. The movement and dance focused new issue of CR Fashion Book features a fresh story from Sebastian Faena that was inspired by famed gymnast Nadia Comăneci. Given the popularity of gymnastics and it’s innate visual appeal, it is surprising that we don’t see more fashion stories centered around this theme. The CR editorial is of course top notch and features Magda Laguinge taking on the role of Nadia with style and grace. Magda is even joined by real life gymnast Danielle Beechy for a few rounds on the uneven bars – take an exclusive first look at the story below.

Tired of seeing the same ol’ faces on the covers of your magazine, take a look at the brand new V Magazine for a dose of freshness. Tapping into the pulse of what’s current in the worlds of modeling & music, V serves up 3 covers shot by Sebastian Faena, styled with eye-catching designer looks  by Carine Roitfeld and finished off with a touch of Yadim‘s makeup magic. Featuring runway it-girls Thairine Garcia, Kati Nescher, Ava Smith, Stef Van Der Laan, Daniela Braga and music stars of the moment Sky Ferreira, Grimes & Charli XCX, the covers are completely now.

V Magazine‘s trip through American’s summer past times makes a pit stop in tawdry territory in Sebastian Faena‘s neon tinted story, Americanarama. When you have the most pristine of all the pristine blonde models, Carolyn Murphy dressed up in leopard print spandex and 80s mall perm, you know that V’s tongue is planted firmly in cheek. This is a knowing wink to the kind of kitsch 80s culture that brought us hair bands and acid-washed jeans. Nicola Formichetti‘s styling is over the top yet authentic – admit it, you knew a girl back in Tallahassee who would have been all over that tie-dye, leopard print Salvatore Ferragamo pantsuit.

The way Stephen Gan tells it, the story behind V Magazine‘s Sports Issue extravaganza starring Stephanie Seymour is the stuff of fashion legend. “Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele came by V a few days after New Year’s and talked about running into Stephanie Seymour in St Barts over the holidays and said how amazing she looked,” Gan tells MDC “48 hours later, I was standing in a studio and here she is…. fresh from her beach holiday, all sun-tanned and gorgeous!”

The sexy market just got a little more competitive thanks to the meteoric rise of Kate Upton. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition was a major coup, but the momentum keeps building with cover after cover. From a Marilyn Monroe turn on the latest Muse Magazine, to upstaging Don Draper himself on Esquire, it seems Kate is gunning for that numero uno slot on Top Sexiest. Only time will tell if the blonde bombshell will make an impact with the high fashion crowd and snag the coveted honors but we can’t remember the last time a newbie made such a splash!

Blondes have more fun and Joan Smalls proves it with a gorgeous tribute to bleached blonde popstars in V Magazine‘s Heroes Issue. The story is extravagant and completely over the top – pure Carlyne!

VMan‘s Archetypes issue is right around the corner (September 1st to be exact) and who can resist a little peek at all the issue has to offer? Sebastian Faena recreates Greek mythology with a nod to Narcissus in his latest for the magazine. Jon Kortajarena plays a young man in love with his own reflection and we can’t say we blame him. Mary Fellowes dresses Jon in knits from Gaultier and Tom Ford: when you look that good it is hard not to indulge in a little narcissism.
