Each month, hundreds (if not thousands) of fashion pictures compete for our attention. Some are edgy, succeeding to push the envelope a little further, be it in their photographic techniques, social context, or use of nudity. Some are expertly styled; some phenomenally photographed; and with some their strength lies in the models who are at their core. So which magazine photoshoots really stood out to us in 2009?
