I like Vogue Russia, the editorials, covers and content have been on the way up (I love Tom Munro’s work) and it is fast becoming one of the most talk-about Vogues in the scene with Aliona Doletskaya, the sassy editor-in-chief constantly in the fashion tabloids and such.

The look was really strong back then, one »

I have noticed this certain kind of look that is rather popular for casting choice this runway and editorial season. ‘Genie’ is a word that I have came up with to describe it. They have that Gemma Ward-like wide eyed innocence and they carry off clothes well both on magazine pages and shows.  These girls »

Alana Zimmer. A face that is totally made for beauty editorials. She is almost the resident model for Vogue Italia beauty, this year alone she had appeared in three such issues, two of which are solo. That is quite a major feat, and I haven’t included her work in Numero. It is a huge wonder why »
