Making a sudden and welcome comeback is Russian model Natalia Vodianova. We've seen her embracing the nudity trend lately, featuring nude on the cover of Vogue UK. In Russian Ribbon, a shoot for Vogue Russia June 2009, Natalia again poses for several shots sans clothing - as well as in the thigh-high boots trend that we're starting to see much more of.

McQueen's thigh-high boots in Vogue Paris

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Spiked belts dripping with chains evoke a sense of the bondage/fetish trend, while feathered skirts and elegant winter jackets add a softer touch. But it's the over-the-knee boots trend that really grabs us in Vogue Paris' June/July 2009 issue.

A pair sitting more to the quirky side of the equation, the boots feature a large houndstooth pattern, and come from Alexander McQueen's Autumn(Fall)/Winter - 2009/2010 Collection.

Exposed stay-ups in Paris Vogue, June/July 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Lingerie as outerwear is a trend that's growing at a phenomenal rate. Magazine editorials are certainly helping to push the trend along, with Natasha Poly and Anja Rubik donning it in Paris Vogue's A Toutes Jambes.

Poly poses out in the street in exposed stay-ups in one of the feature's shots, and naturally looks amazing doing it.

Daisy Lowe photographed by Mariano Vivanco

AUTHOR DATE TIME

By the time fashion photo shoots hit the Internet we normally know most everything about them; the whos, the whats, the whys, and the wheres. Today comes something a little bit different: a shoot featuring Daisy Lowe, lensed by Mariano Vivanco, but one that we haven't the foggiest as to where it'll go to print.

Dominatrix: the fetish trend in L'Officiel Brazil

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Donning plenty of leather and a spiked cuff or two, Isabeli Fontana stars in the June 2009 issue of L'Officiel Brazil, in a shoot titled Dominatrix. It's not as harsh as it sounds though; while darkly themed, the styling is a feminised take on the fetish trend, giving it a soft edge.

Heidi Klum: Rodeo Drive, Vogue Germany June 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

Heidi Klum is still looking as fabulous as ever. Photographed by Claudia Knoepfel & Stefan Indlekofer for Vogue Germany, June 2009, Klum stars in a shoot titled Rodeo Drive.

I'm particularly loving the accentuated shoulders on the voluminous number above, and the red paillette-covered fish scale Versace dress which Klum also sports in one of the shots.

Daria Werbowy for Vogue UK, June 2009

AUTHOR DATE TIME

With the trend towards all things ethnic still going strong, it's no big surprise that Vogue UK chose to shoot on location in India for their June 2009 issue. Daria Werbowy, who I'm so glad to see back in the spotlight, brings her ubiquitous and indefinable cool-factor to the shoot, titled Indian Summer.
