A “sexy vixen/Scarlett O’Hara dressed in Giorgio Armani” is how 10 Magazine describes Candice Swanepoel as she appears on their new cover. Dark haired and dark themed, it’s all a bit gothic – in a good way. A second cover features Crystal Renn smearing deep (blood) red makeup across her face.

Charles Varenne’s luxurious noir styling of sweeping black dresses, wintry coats, and sheer Gucci gowns is one thing; but it’s the undulations of perfect classic waves on Candice Swanepoel’s blonde hair that stand out the most. Photographed by Alexi Lubomirski, the editorial features in Numero Toyko’s September 2012 issue.

We already saw Candice Swanepoel’s Elle Brazil cover & video for the magazine’s September 2012 issue. Also shot by Dudu Resende is a very serious looking Candice for the alternative, subscriber’s cover.

If there’s one model who can seemingly do no wrong right now, it’s Candice Swanepoel. Hotly in demand and able to transcend the Victoria’s Secret / high fashion border, she’s landing quite a few campaigns. She’s also landed the September issue cover of Elle Brazil, looking summery in a woven green bikini and plenty of gold jewellery. A video accompanying the issue (which you can…

Her fall 2012 collection was very dramatic so it’s not surprising that the fall 2012 hairstyle that came with it was just as remarkable. Who would have thought that the teased sixties hair with a headband can look so contemporary and perfect today?…

Candice Swanepoel’s campaign for Brian Atwood, from the pictures, was only ever going to be about footwear as fetish. Its in the dark setting, the model and her thigh high boots sitting like a goddess on a throne to be worshipped. The tie-in film campaign takes the sexually suggestive visuals one step further. Candice Swanepoel is both a voyeur and participant in her own high…

We reported on the new styles of knee high boot taking over from thigh highs as the statement on the fall runways. But that doesn’t mean thigh highs have lots their ability to grab attention with their unabashed sex appeal. Especially when the pair looks something like this:

Aside from allaying any girl’s fear that an impressively worked-out body can’t also be distinctively feminine, Collier Schorr’s shoot of Candice Swanepoel offers up the most brilliant of 60s inspired hair and beauty inspiration.
