From the over the top fashion spectacles, to the simple images brimming with quiet beauty, these are the glossy magazine stories that captivated us in 2012 – the loved, the hated and the fiercely debated.<\/p>\n

THE EVERCHANGING FACE OF BEAUTY<\/a>
\nPh. S\u00f8lve Sundsb\u00f8<\/a> | \u00a0W Magazine<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Lara Stone<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0David Agbodji<\/a>\u00a0– Models |\u00a0Marie Chaix<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist |\u00a0Sam McKnight<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist |\u00a0Lisa Butler<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist |\u00a0Mike Pocock<\/a>\u00a0– Manicurist<\/small><\/p>\n

Solve Sundsbo’s epic tribute to beauty was projected 40ft high at W’s spectacular fashion week fete. Most stories would fall flat when taken out of their magazine context, but Solve’s did the exact opposite. W’s oversized format gives you only a taste of how the jaw-dropping these images can be.<\/p>\n

DAME OF THRONES<\/a>
\nPh. Tim Walker<\/a> | \u00a0W Magazine<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Kristen McMenamy<\/a>\u00a0– Model |\u00a0Jacob K<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist | Julien d’Ys<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist | Val Garland<\/a>\u00a0 – Makeup Artist | \u00a0Andy Hillman<\/a>\u00a0– Set Designer |\u00a0Larissa Gunn<\/a>\u00a0– Casting Director<\/small><\/p>\n

If there is one model who we can imagine inhabiting a world of pure fantasy, it is Kristen McMenamy. Is it any wonder then that she fits perfectly into Tim Walker’s fantastical, Game of Thrones influenced editorial? Epic battles fought in head to toe couture, luxe armor, medieval headdresses, this story has everything!<\/p>\n

GOYA<\/a>
\nPh. Fabien Baron<\/a> | Interview<\/a>\u00a0| \u00a0Ludivine Poiblanc<\/a>\u00a0(Fashion Editor\/Stylist| Marie Piovesan<\/a>\u00a0– Model\u00a0|\u00a0Paul Hanlon<\/a>\u00a0(Hair Stylist) |\u00a0Jean-Hughes de Chatillon<\/a>\u00a0(Set Designer) |\u00a0Elsa Deslandes<\/a>\u00a0(Manicurist) |\u00a0Michelle Lee for KCD<\/a>\u00a0(Casting Director)<\/small><\/p>\n

Art history buffs will see Francisco Goya’s influence all over Fabien Baron’s adventurous story for Interview. Baron has always been adept at creating stark fantasy, but here he\u00a0reshapes Marie Piovesan in the mold of the masters. Ludivine Pointblanc’s skillful styling elevates this story from being simply a goth-baroque showcase for the seasons edgy pieces and pushes it into the level of art.<\/p>\n

RODARTE MONOGRAPHIC<\/a>
\nPh. Nan Goldin<\/a> | Grey Magazine Italy<\/a>|\u00a0Valentina Ilardi Martin<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist |Carrie Anne Burton<\/a>,\u00a0Dorte Limkilde<\/a>\u00a0 &\u00a0Ondria Hardin<\/a>\u00a0– Models
\n<\/small>
\nThe combination of Nan Goldin and Rodarte seems made for evocative images and Grey magazine’s Rodarte Monographic does not disappoint. Goldin revisits the brand’s history in her signature style and adds a new layer of visceral moodiness to Kate and Laura’s work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

HOLY FLOWERS<\/a>
\nPh. Pierre Debusschere<\/a> | Zuzanna Bijoch<\/a> – Model | Dazed & Confused<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Robbie Spencer<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist |\u00a0Karin Bigler<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist |\u00a0Adrien Pinault<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist |\u00a0Noah Shelley for AM Casting<\/a>\u00a0– Casting Director<\/small><\/p>\n

Pierre Debusschere’s skillful image manipulation has created some memorable stories over the years, but Holy Flowers may be his best to date. Elegant, artistic and of course visually arresting, this triply editorial is easily one of the years best.<\/p>\n

\n

PARIS MON AMOUR<\/a>
\nPh. Mario Sorrenti<\/a> | Vogue Paris<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Recine\u00a0<\/a>–\u00a0Hair Stylist |\u00a0Aaron de Mey<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist |\u00a0Igor Ouvaroff<\/a>\u00a0– Set Designer |\u00a0Anny Errandonea<\/a>\u00a0– Manicurist |\u00a0Brenda Abrial<\/a>\u00a0– Manicurist |\u00a0Emmanuelle Alt<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0\u00a0Fashion Editor\/Stylist<\/small><\/p>\n

Unleash Mario Sorrenti and a slew of the world’s top models onto the streets of Paris and what do you get? A singularly stunning tribute to the fashion capital and all the biggest talents in design. Each house is interpreted in its own unique fashion, whether its a ruffled McQueen dangling precariously from the Eiffel Tower, or Ralph Lauren’s 30s style suits in a stylized black and white shot.<\/p>\n

\n

ANIMAL ATTRACTION<\/a>
\nPh. Jeff Bark<\/a> | Dazed & Confused<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Katie Shillingford<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist | Bette Franke<\/a>\u00a0– Model\u00a0|\u00a0Rick Gradone<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist |\u00a0Rick Gradone<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist<\/small><\/p>\n

Kittens, pink and girlish glee get taken into surrealist territory in Jeff Bark’s wonderfully weird story for Dazed and Confused. Bark has always been a master of the bizarre side of fashion, but here he manages to unleash a dizzying array of oddity, all wrapped up in a deceptively cute package.<\/p>\n

\n

HAUTE MESS<\/a>
\nPh. Steven Meisel<\/a>|\u00a0Lori Goldstein<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist | Abbey Lee Kershaw<\/a>,\u00a0Lindsey Wixson<\/a>,\u00a0Daphne Groeneveld<\/a>,\u00a0Karen Elson<\/a>,\u00a0Coco Rocha<\/a>,\u00a0Joan Smalls<\/a>,\u00a0Lily Donaldson<\/a>,\u00a0Guinevere Van Seenus<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Jessica Stam<\/a>\u00a0– Models\u00a0|\u00a0Jimmy Paul<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist |\u00a0Pat McGrath<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist |\u00a0Mary Howard<\/a>\u00a0– Set Designer |\u00a0Lisa Logan<\/a>\u00a0–\u00a0Manicurist<\/small><\/p>\n

Vogue Italia always manages to push buttons, so it is unsurprising that their March coverstory was one of the most controversial and talked about editorials of the year. Everyone had an opinion on this story; some found the concept pure artistic kitsch, while others considered it offensive and insensitive. One thing everyone could agree on was that Meisel had created yet another hotly debated editorial, one people are still up in arms over months later.<\/p>\n

FIERCE CREATURES<\/a>
\nPh. Patrick Demarchelier<\/a> | W Magazine<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Edward Enninful<\/a>\u00a0– Fashion Editor\/Stylist |\u00a0Magda Laguinge<\/a>,\u00a0Zuzanna Bijoch<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0Meghan Collison<\/a>\u00a0– Models|\u00a0Jimmy Paul<\/a>\u00a0– Hair Stylist |\u00a0Dick Page<\/a>\u00a0– Makeup Artist |\u00a0Lisa Jachno<\/a>\u00a0– Manicurist <\/small><\/p>\n

Nothing better than a bit of experimental fashion set against a desert backdrop. The model army takes to the sands in pieces by McQueen and Chanel, looking stronger than ever thanks to Edward Enninful’s skillful styling. Perfection.<\/p>\n

OLYMPIAD<\/a>
\nPh. Mikael Jansson<\/a> | Interview<\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0Karl Templer<\/a>\u00a0(Fashion Editor\/Stylist) |\u00a0Eugene Souleiman<\/a>\u00a0(Hair Stylist) |\u00a0Suvi Koponen<\/a>,\u00a0Constance Jablonski<\/a>,\u00a0Matthew Terry<\/a>, Nicklas Kingo<\/a>\u00a0– Models |Mark Carrasquillo<\/a>\u00a0(Makeup Artist) |\u00a0Stefan Beckman<\/a>\u00a0(Set Designer) |\u00a0Michelle Lee for KCD<\/a>\u00a0(Casting Director) |\u00a0Yuna Park<\/a>\u00a0(Manicurist)<\/small><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Mikael Jansson recreates the look and feel of Leni Riefenstahl’s classic portraits of Olympians, in this sporting story done in tribute of the 2012 games. Sculpted bodies and graphic black and white are natural partners and these shots make the most of both, creating a fitting tribute to athleticism.<\/p>\n
