Continuing our year end wrap ups, we present MDC’s favorite covers of 2009. Be sure to catch our favorite campaigns too!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1scovers\"<\/p>\n

01. W, November 2009<\/a><\/em>
\nPhotographer: Pierpaolo Ferrari<\/a>
\nModel: Linda Evangelista<\/a><\/p>\n

W’s November cover was a timely and irreverent send up of the current economic situation, risky subject matter for a fashion publication but W pulled it off admirably.<\/p>\n

02. Acne Paper, S\/S 09<\/em><\/a>
\nPhotographer: Daniel Jackson<\/a>
\nModel: Missy Rayder<\/a><\/p>\n

Acne Paper<\/em>, always has striking covers but Daniel Jackson’s image of a blindfolded Missy Rayder was pitch perfect.<\/p>\n

\"cover2\"<\/p>\n

03. Dazed & Confused, April 2009<\/em><\/a>
\nPhotographer: Josh Olins<\/a>
\nModel: Lakshmi Menon<\/a><\/p>\n

The Lakshmi as goddess theme never gets old and Dazed<\/em>‘s cover was simply stunning; if there was one magazine that jumped out at you from the newsstand, it was this one.<\/p>\n

04. Numero, May 2009<\/a><\/em>
\nPhotographer: Solve Sundsbo<\/a>
\nModel: Magdalena Frackowiak<\/a><\/p>\n

White orchids, platinum haired Magdalena – this cover was pure elegance.<\/p>\n

\"covers3\"<\/p>\n

05. Tar Magazine S\/S 09<\/a><\/em>
\nArtist: Damien Hirst
\nModel: Kate Moss<\/a>
\nArtist collaborations always make for interesting covers and Damien Hirst’s vision of \u00c2\u00a0Kate Moss, was an especially intriguing (and attention grabbing) take on the issue’s theme of transparency.<\/p>\n

06. Wallpaper, October 2009<\/em><\/a>
\nPhotographer: Karl Lagerfeld<\/a>
\nModel: Baptiste Giabiconi<\/a><\/p>\n

Say what you will about Karl Lagerfeld, but he doesn’t beat around the bush : peel back the first image of Baptiste on Wallpaper’s cover and you will find an even more revealing picture of the world’s foremost male model.<\/p>\n

\"covers4\"<\/p>\n

07. i-D, September 2009<\/em><\/a>
\nPhotographer: Emma Summerton<\/a>
\nModels: Sessilee Lopez<\/a>, Jourdan Dunn<\/a>, Arlenis Sosa<\/a> and Chanel Iman<\/a><\/p>\n

i-D’s irreverent headlines never fail to amuse and The bold “pretty young things” on the cover, is the perfect description for these four beauties. 2009 had plenty of multi-girl covers but this was the coolest hands down.<\/p>\n

08. Muse, F\/W 2009<\/em><\/a>
\nPhotographer: Panos Yiapanis<\/a>
\nModel: Natasha Poly<\/a><\/p>\n

Both covers of Natasha’s special issue were great \u00c2\u00a0but the shot of her in Givenchy’s couture finery was especially haunting.<\/p>\n

\"vicovers\"<\/p>\n

09. Vogue Italia March 2009
\nPhotographer: Steven Meisel<\/a>
\nModels: Kinga Rajzak<\/a> and Hanne Gaby Odiele<\/a><\/p>\n

10. Vogue Italia, September 2009<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Photographer: Steven Meisel<\/a>
\nModels: Jamie Bochert<\/a>, Anna Jagodzinska<\/a>, Sasha Pivovarova<\/a>, Ash Stymest<\/a>, Christian Brylle<\/a>, Max Rogers<\/a> & Will Lewis<\/a><\/p>\n

You can’t just pick one Vogue Italia! This years strongest VI covers featured Meisel at his most idiosyncratic; from a wild boar joining Jamie and Christian on their cover to the voyeur feel of Hanne and Kinga’s image, the best covers were the ones that went off in wild directions.<\/p>\n
