It’s fully justifiable that if you’re going to make your cover an extreme closeup of just a model’s face, that model should be Barbara Palvin – so classically beautiful is she. Vince Baráti photographed this cover of Palvin for Fashion Issue, summer 2012, with radiant makeup and framed with flowers – and thankfully not too crowded with text.

The Victoria’s Secret Designer Collection markets itself as being exquisite and delicate, two things their standard product ranges quite often are not. Sexy, colourful, playful – yes. But exquisite and delicate, no. So to distinguish the Designer Collection from the others, the marketing effort also has to be different. The campaigns and look books have to move away from the sexy, colourful and playful. It…

Barbara Palvin has such classic beauty that she looked just as at home on the red carpet at Cannes as she would in front of a fashion photographer’s lens. We wouldn’t be at all surprised if she caught the eye of more than one director while attending the film festival. This beautiful candid moment of the Hungarian model was captured in Cannes by Marijo Cobretti.

Surgical masks in sheer fabrics make for an unusual (and probably quite medically ineffectual) accessory in this shoot starring Barbara Palvin. Is their presence there to assure us that face masks can be fashionable (indeed, Palvin looks a little like every man’s fantasy nurse), or perhaps to add a unique, unusual touch to the shoot’s styling?

Noticing a theme in Numero‘s 115th issue? We had Magdalena the enchantress, Eniko the sorceress, and now here’s a pictorial of the lovely Barbara Palvin, Voodoo Child.

In outfits like these we don’t doubt…

Miu Miu‘s towering platform Mary-Janes and over-the-knee socks are a match made in heaven; and if you don’t believe me just check out this super-cute pictorial.

Or, the fashion world’s most popular models if not your personal favourites. Cara Delevingne makes goofing around to Salt-N-Pepa look sexy, Karlie Kloss plays dress-ups, Kate Upton poses like a pin-up and Barbara Palvin – well, she doesn’t need to do much but exist to look cute. And finally, Lindsay Ellingson, Maryna Linchuk, Edita Vilkeviciute, and Gracie Carvalho talk about their favourite body parts (and…

It’s as much anticipated for its high energy performances and props as it is for the actual lingerie… and each year Victoria’s Secret delivers something that’s as bouncy and glittery as you can possibly imagine. While this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show won’t be broadcast until Tuesday, Dec. 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, that doesn’t mean we can’t get some sneak…
