This editorial of Abbey Lee Kershaw is somewhat captivating. It's not the nudity (because what shoot these days doesn't show some skin?); it's not the styling (though, personally, I love the styling, especially the prominent use of thigh high boots). It's more the concept, the strange, puppet-like poses that give Abbey Lee a robotic feel, the dystopian vision that the metalic bindings and Rodarte pieces create and yet all against the contrastingly light, bright, painted backdrop. Over-analysing? Maybe. But I still think it's worth a look.

Odds are you've already seen this editorial from the September 2009 issue of Jalouse, which perhaps takes the prize, to date, of the most pairs of bunny ears in a single shoot. Starring Morgane Dubled and a fantastic example of how bunny ear headbands can be styled, we wanted to draw your attention to it just in case you haven't checked it out yet.

Creepiest use of the bondage trend in a photo shoot? Potentially this one of Shannan Click naked and bound with ropes as if an unwilling victim in some twisted scene. There are some great shots in it though - I especially love this one of Click tied up against a silhouette of archways; an undeniably striking picture.

We seem to be seeing lots of Miranda Kerr lately; and here she is yet again, posing for CS Magazine's November 2009 issue. As well as looking cute as a button in the puff-shouldered tuxedo jacket from Dolce & Gabanna, she also looks somewhat spectacular in the thigh high boots trend.

In the November 2009 issue of Vogue Germany comes this shoot; which features some of the most popular fashion trends for 2010. Thigh high boots, big shoulders, and leather coats all contribute to this striking editorial.

Showing off his versatility, Andreas Sjodin photographs a campaign for H&M with very different results to his recent shoot featuring Iselin Steiro.
While the boyfriend jeans trend is on the way out, Jessica Stam manages to work the look in a cool and relaxed way; but it's definitely the military jacket that is the more desirable wardrobe staple.

It sometimes amazes me how Victoria's Secret - one of the most well-known and publicised lingerie brands in the world - can get the hottest models in the world, and stick them in the most uninspiring clothes. In the world. Because if any brand can land gorgeous models-du-jour like Abbey Lee Kershaw and Behati Prinsloo it's only natural to put them in baggy tracksuit pants and cupcake-print knickers. But it's not all bad. And luckily, despite some of the underwear being not their best, the shoot still works in a young, fun kind of way.
You can also expect the brand's sexier numbers to come out for the 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which isn't too far away.

Inspired by the controversial Italian, Gabriele D'Annunzio, and taking its queues from the 19th century's decadent movement, this shoot from the New York Times seems the perfect inspiration for those dandys who frequent Fashionising.com.

If ever I had a girl-crush, it would have to be for Daria Werbowy. As a model she's not overexposed; always super-cool without trying; and can work so many different looks to perfection. We've seen her appear naked a number of times (who could forget the smoking hot beach shoot where she posed naked for Vogue Hommes International) and yet, despite her perfect body, it's always her doe eyes and structured cheekbones that draw us in.
