If there’s a reality about gratuity in editorials, it’s that it works best when it doesn’t attempt to hide what it is. Read the title image of this shoot from issue 8 of men’s magazine HERO, which gets straight to the point about the inclusion of Dioni Tabbers‘ assets: TITS. YES. TITS IN HERO… IT’S OK, BECAUSE IT MEANS YOU’RE A REAL MAN IF YOU…

Aubade – n. a morning love song. One of Aubade’s claims to fame is that they started marketing lingerie as an item of pleasure, at a time when underwear was seen as functional. That was the 1960s, though Aubade’s history goes back much further than that, and since then the idea of lingerie for pleasure’s sake has become so ingrained we wouldn’t even question it.…

Looking at photo shoots these days, it’s likely you’ll come across a theme that will steal your heart. Whether you’re into dark and mysterious fashion spreads or an intellectual narrative that’ll force you to breed a story from the clothes and make-up: something will tickle your fashion fancy. Fashionising.com’s love and appreciation for ’60s fashion has taken an evident hike. Magazine editorials are fueling the…

Update: the full (NSFW) picture gallery has now been added – you can view it after the jump. It’s easy to forget that trends like nudity and sensuality in fashion aren’t just a Western phenomena. Japan’s Common&Sense’s does perfectly well at capturing the Zeitgeist in their sexually-charged shoot featuring Dioni Tabbers and Hana Jirickova.

After seeing the phenomenally sexy raven-haired Dioni Tabbers in Vogue Italia, I’m having trouble going black to blonde Dioni. Yet here she is, still sultry in leather and lace, although not captured with quite the same level of style.

Vogue Italia’s pictorial of Dioni Tabbers by Ellen von Unwerth was nothing short of pure, unadulterated sex – perfectly framed by sixties hair and cat-eye glasses. If you liked the shoot (and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you?) then you’ll be pleased to know there’s also a behind-the-scenes video too.

Ellen von Unwerth has been at it again, and by ‘it’ I mean photographing utterly sensual shoots full of sex kitten hair and vintage styling. This time the model is Dioni Tabbers, who with raven black hair looks something of a young Angelina Jolie. The sixties inspired styling of the shoot is well worth a look, though do be warned that some nudity follows. Click…

It’s a familiar shoot concept but one that’s always welcome: haystacks, milk bottles and rustic white petticoats. In this particular example featuring Dioni Tabbers there’s the addition of spring jonquils, daisies and side braids, and while there’s no little lambs to be seen (refer to Anja with lamb and Eniko with lamb) we do get a cute little piglet.

Normally reserved for equestrians, the leather gaiter is adapted to a stiletto form in this fashion shoot for Velvet magazine, Italy. The super-high heel gives the shoe a distinctly fetish feel; a theme which is also carried across other elements of the shoot like leather catsuits and see-through lace tops.
