The third issue of Love magazine has been one hell of release. For a start, they've managed to the fusion of nudity and fashion to a whole new level. And... there isn't an and. That's solely what this issue will be remembered for. So it should come as no surprise to find that within its pages are a number of other leading models. Including Natasha Poly.

As the plane touched down at McCarran International I was determined to hate Las Vegas. Undisputedly not my type of scene. But within an hour I was inside the Tom Ford boutique, learning a trick or two about mixing my ever expanding collection of Private Blend scents by Tom Ford as discovered by a particular Prince of Saudi Arabia. Suddenly Vegas wasn't so bad.
Having indulged in Tom Fordery (if I can make up the word 'fashionising' I can turn Tom Ford into a verb) in San Francisco and again in Las Vegas, I feel it's only fair to continue to indulge. So please join me in indulging in this interview with the designer cum director as he discussed A Single Man, breast implants, and what they all have to do with fashion.

More futurism and sci-fi hits the pages of the February 2010 issue of 160g. With sci-fi fonts to match, the Bionic Art issue is fully themed up with space invaders and dark creatures. A Landing Not Totally Under Control is just one pictorial from the issue, photographed by Urivaldo Lopes.

Here's a piece that's so perfect for the future warrior trend that I couldn't not give it a mention. Black leather with metal eyelets and studs, One Teaspoon's gladiator inspired Mistress Leather Vest could really be made to work in many different ways.

Hot pants, leather clothing, lingerie as outerwear and even double denim. All big 2010 fashion trends we've written lots about. Now they're appearing on the ever lovely Shalom Harlow in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar. Someone must be reading our minds, or even better our fashion trends guide (wishful thinking).

So prolific is the existence of nudity within fashion pictorials it's hard to know if this is merely a trend or something here to stay. Perhaps its generational, but have full frontal nudity pictorials featuring the world's top models ever been so prolific?
Again from the third issue of Conde Nast's Love magazine, this time it's model Natalia Vodianova.
For all the pictures of Natalia Vodianova in Love magazine click on the picture above below.

Recently Abbey Lee Kershaw has been jetsetting around the world appearing in numerous pictures and on a similar number of runways (including the Victoria's Secret 2009 show alongside fellow Aussie Miranda Kerr). So it's great to see her land back in Australia for a shoot with Max Doyle for Australian Vogue.
The editorial focuses purely on Australian beach culture lensing Kershaw at one of Australia's most iconic beaches, where the overexposed shots give us the vibe of the hot Australian summer. Meanwhile Abbey swaps between messy bangs and slicked backed hair one of 2010's hair trends.

Fashion chain Zara gets youthful and fresh for their Spring 2010 Young range. Full of grunged-up looks with printed tees, ripped denim, and leather jackets, the lookbook has some cool young looks for both boys and girls.
Rania Mordanova also models a rather perfect example of how to wear the hair bows trend without going for a big girly headband. A simply scarf tied in a bow can have a vintage charm, or an element of rock-chic depending on how you dress it.
