Fashion Photo Shoots

Zauberkraft: Vogue Germany, July 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Anyone who has ever been to Prague will know that the city is, to this day, somewhat of a shrine to Alfons Mucha - who was one of the most prominent Czech artists of the Art Nouveau movement. The July 2009 issue of Vogue Germany features a wonderful shoot titled Zauberkraft, inspired by the Jugendstil movement (the German equivalent of Art Nouveau) and Mucha in particular. Julia Stegner stars as Mucha's flowing-haired maiden in a series of nature settings.

Carmen Kass fetish trend in Stern Magazine

AUTHOR DATE TIME

It may not be a fashion publication - leaning more to the news and politics side of things - but Germany's Stern magazine still knows how to make an impact when it comes to fashion editorial. Here is one that leans strongly towards the fetish trend, teaming photographer Mario Testino and model Carmen Kass in one powerhouse duo.

Titled Wicked In Berlin, the shoot features some nudity and therefore is a tad NSFW; you can see all the shots after the jump.

Pool service: male nudity in Numero Magazine

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Whilst we've noticed the rise of nudity as a trend - particularly in magazine editorials and ad campaigns - it's for the most part been female nudity. For a little something out of the ordinary, Numero Magazine issue 104 brings us some male nudity in their shoot Pool Service.

Pirelli Calendar 2010 pictures: preview

AUTHOR DATE TIME

There was much media fuss over Miranda Kerr getting naked for Rolling Stone magazine, but it surely won't have escaped the attention of many that, bare as she was, her modesty remained strategically in tact. Given that Terry Richardson is the photographer, the same can't be said of the 2010 Pirelli Calendar. In it we'll be seeing more of Miranda than before, not to mention the naked figures of a whole host of other world-class models including Catherine McNeil, Daisy Lowe, and Abbey Lee Kershaw.

Ripped denim and bad 90s fashion in Numero Toyko

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Ripped denim and crop tops are two trends that aren't that hard to get right, though they both certainly have a potential for disaster. Unfortunately for this shoot in Numero Tokyo, you'll find more examples of how not to dress than you will credible fashion inspirations.

Ripped stockings & nudity: Regia Magazine

Here's a shoot that - aside from some lace tights and glimpses of ripped stockings - subscribes quite fully to the nudity trend.

Malgosia Bela naked for Self Service

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Malgosia Bela is becoming somewhat of a regular in our list of magazine editorials featuring nudity. Her recent shoot for Self Service Magazine is very much NSFW (full frontal nudity included) - and though it may have little in the way of fashion, it's beautifully shot by Mario Sorrenti and worth a look.

AUTHOR DATE TIME

I've already mentioned my love for the Neo-Romance shoot in Vogue Italia, June 2009. Here's another great shoot from the same issue - this one is titled The Fashion and the Fantasy and stars Malgosia Bela. The grandiose settings and enchanted Royal Guard soldiers make for a striking picture.
