Every magazine right now is loving an excuse to work Prada's thigh high fishing waders into an editorial. So much was the case for Vogue China that they just decided to do an entirely fishing themed shoot for their October 2009 issue.

If you're fearful of the over the knee boots / thigh high boots trend, here's a way to wear it that's city chic and night-time ready, but not too revealing. Pair them with a knee-length coat or dress that has a split, so a peep of the boots shows through with movement. But while this shot from 'In The City', Flair Magazine is uber-sexy, you may want to step out with a little more on underneath, if subtlety is your aim.

Though very much NSFW - including full frontal nudity - this shoot of Dree Hemingway is actually one of the tamer ones to feature in Issue 12 of Purple magazine. You may recall some intriguing fetish action happening in Paola Kudacki's beauty shoot; and there are many other shoots that push the nudity trend in new directions in the issue. In this one, Hemingway pulls some great poses in nothing but a pair of Rodarte thigh high boots.
