Somewhere between a big bow and a pair of Mickey Mouse ears, this hat by Moschino Cheap & Chic is perfectly on trend.

The photography and editing of this shoot includes mirroring, upside down angles and people in flight, and will leave you feeling like you've been staring down a kaleidoscope.

In a set of photographs by well known Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, Claudia Schiffer walks around with a toy pig on her head, has pens in between her toes and well, we aren't exactly sure what she is doing with this broom. But while the shoot may seem little more than a series of bizarre photos, take into account Wurm's artistic background and fascination with everyday objects, and the editorial - titled Kunst Pausen (Art Paused) - suddenly has more meaning.

Featuring Isabeli Fontana and expertly styled by Carine Roitfeld, this shoot takes the tribal elements to the extreme with body painting, African-inspired jewellery, and feathered headpieces.

In what may signal an end to the raw style of photography popularised by Terry Richardson, sensuality is gradually becoming predominant in the blurring between fashion and nudity. At least that's the impression one gets from two of the pictorials we've featured this week; there's orgasmic Anja and now soft, almost playful, Eniko Mihalik in The Room.
