Windswept dresses in blues and burgundy with high splits appear spectacularly on Lara Stone for Vogue China’s March 2011 issue. Road signs and rugged terrain combined with great designs by Lanvin and Emilio Pucci makes for an engrossing shoot.

What do you get when you combine elephants with Prada? This amazing shoot for POP featuring Samantha Gradoville as photographed by Sean & Seng. Extravagant scenes set in Thailand showcase some beautiful designs by Versace and Stella McCartney, with their wild prints set against a wild background.

With a short black bob and snow white skin Valerija Kelava has something of a striking look in Vogue Italia’s February issue. Pity, then, the dots and stripes from which the photo shoot gets its name: they were only ever going to play second fiddle in contrast.

Contrasting from the gritty cell setting, the clothes in Remi Rebillard’s photo shoot ‘last spread‘ are both fresh and regal. As if the two don’t juxtapose enough, Rebillard brings to the setting the erotic courtesy of tactfully placed nudity that brings sensuality and sexuality to a setting that usually offers up none.

With crystal blue sky behind her and wearing a turban, Marta Canalda looks fresh for QVEST. Chunky accessories and bright hues light up the photos to present a rich and harmonious shoot. You can see these in more detail after the jump.

If this 70s cut gown with a magnificent trail by Emilio Pucci doesn’t make an impression on you I don’t know what will. Magdalena Frackowiak wears the stunning dress with Yves Saint Laurent wedges for Harpers Bazaar’s March issue, photographed by Terry Richardson. With a distinct oriental essence throughout the shoot, this is one worth looking at in more detail after the jump.

Juju Ivanyuk doesn’t hold back in front of the camera in this shoot by Greg Kadel, wearing bunny ears and lingerie worn as outerwear throughout. But then again, we wouldn’t expect anything else from Numero who have a propensity to create eye catching editorials.

The workmanship of some of the worlds most luxurious fashion houses is evident in this shoot for Numero Tokyo’s March 2011 issue. Naty Chabanenko shows off dresses and shoes with tassels and immaculately tailored pieces with different elements and layers. This is one shoot that is worth viewing in close detail, you can do so after the jump.

Bregje Heinens handles the cold with style. This earthy coloured coat which has a distinct military flair looks classy on the Dutch model, and the neutral colour enhances her ice-blue eyes.

You will be drawn into a pool side holiday when you view this campaign featuring Angela Lindvall for 7 For All Mankind. There are many versions of the capri pants seen in fashion publications at the moment as it is a prevalent 2011 fashion trend, however this is one version that stands out with its comfortable and deluxe cut.
