Daphne Groeneveld Covers Vogue Japan August 2011

When it comes to magazine covers, there are two magazines that I always wait for in anticipation. These two are Vogue Paris and Vogue Japan. The reasons: loving Vogue Paris is an old habit that I can not, and will never, shake off, while Vogue Japan excites me with its unexpected turns and twists - I never now what they'll do next. For the August issue, Vogue Japan has put model Daphne Groeneveld on the cover in a Miu Miu dress from the A/W 2011 collection, teamed with a brown fur "belt" and large turquoise earrings. The cover is so fresh, fun and head-turning - definitely something I would pick up at the newsstand! The cover is shot by Mario Sorrenti, and styled by George Cortina.

What do you think of Daphne in Miu Miu for this August cover?

Beyoncé for Dazed & Confused July 2011

I have a serious crush on this cover of Beyoncé for the July issue of Dazed & Confused. She looks so good in this look from Givenchy's A/W 2011 collection - it is as if it was made specially for her. Also, the baby pink, melting ice cream is such a fun element to add, and it works so good for the photo as a whole. In general, I am loving many of Beyoncé's fashion looks at the moment; her video for "Run the world" is filled with great looks by Alexander McQueen, Emilio Pucci and Givenchy.

Rosie Huntington-Whitely for UK Elle July 2011

Okay, can I just say: Hello, beautiful cover! The subscribers copy of the July issue of UK Elle, featuring Rosie Huntington-Whitely and photographed by Terry Tsiolis, is absolutely stunning. I am a huge fan of Rosie's personal style - she has that perfect, laidback and boho-chic look nailed down. She also seems to make any kind of piece look ten times better when she wears it. However, it is not too difficult to make this silk jacket from The Row look good - it is an absolute dream in itself! Rosie + UK Elle + The Row + Tsiolis = a match made in heaven.

Erin Wasson covers Vogue Espana June 2011

Erin Wasson is one of those models who always manages to sell covers, whether she features a tough rock-chic look or a sophisticated, glamorous look. Vogue Espana have decided to show her in the latter look for the cover of their June issue (shot by Alexi Lubomirski), where she wears a skirt and body designed by Dolce & Gabbana, and Jimmy Choo sandals. The statement necklace and the smokey eyes adds that sexy femme fatale look to the cover. I love it...but then again, I love everything that Erin Wasson does.

Kate Moss by Mario Testino for Vogue Brazil May 2011

May is definitely Kate Moss' month as there seems to be no end to how many magazine covers she has landed this month. In addition to the cover of Vogue Paris and the cover for Vogue Japan, Kate is also seen on the front of Vogue Brazil. For the magazine's 36th Anniversary issue, Mario Testino has photographed a naked Kate Moss; only wearing two golden cuffs. Instantly, this makes me think of Wonder Woman, but a more sexy, undressed version of her. I really do applaud Testino and Vogue Brazil for thinking outside the box for this cover, and especially when it's involving Kate Moss. It is so easy to repeat many of the things she has previously done, but this is something new and fresh.

What are your thoughts about this cover? Do you love it or hate it?

Kate Moss for Vogue Paris May 2011

There is no shortage when it comes to Kate Moss decorating magazine covers this May. Along with both the covers of Vogue Japan and UK Harper's Bazaar, Kate Moss has landed the cover for Vogue Paris this coming month. On the cover, shot by Mert & Marcus, Kate is wearing a jacket from the Armani Privé S/S 2011 collection. I have read very mixed opinions about this cover over at The Fashion Spot; some saying they love the red background mixed with the blue and white, while others say they hate the hands that pull Kate.

Kate is also featured in an editorial inside the magazine, styled by Emmanuelle Alt, where she wears couture pieces. The editorial consists of mix of black and white photos, and brightly coloured 90s inspired shots. I especially love the shot of her in the stunning swan dress by Ricardo Tisci from the Givenchy S/S 2011 Haute Couture collection.

What are your opinions about the cover? And do you like Kate's editorial?

Kate Moss on May 2011 Magazine Covers 

A well-known fashion face will appear on at least three magazine covers for the May 2011 editions. Both Vogue Japan (née Vogue Nippon) and UK Harper's Bazaar have chosen Kate Moss as their leading lady for May, but they have captured her in two completely different settings. The cover for Vogue Japan is shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. Kate wears the famous Chanel feather dress from the S/S 2011 collection, which is described as a "quivering cloud of apricot feathers" by Tim Blanks. Styled together with tight, back-combed hair and bright red lips, it makes up a strong statement cover.

UK Harper's Bazaar has opted for a softer and more gentle Kate. Two covers have been made in the honour of Alexander McQueen and the upcoming exhibition, Savage Beauty, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the first cover, Kate wears a white dress from Sarah Burton's first collection for Alexander McQueen. The second shows Kate in the iconic ruffled organza dress she wore for the famous hologram video from Alexander McQueen's A/W 2006 show. Both covers are shot by Sølve Sundsbø.

Which cover is your favourite? Mine is definitely the last one.

Zoo Magazine #30 Spring 2011 Covers

Zoo Magazine is out with four different covers for their spring 2011 issue, and they are all very remarkable in their own ways. The first cover shows model Dree Hemingway (I love her!) photographed by Philip Gay. She is wearing a Jil Sander dress from the S/S 2011 collection, which has already been seen on Kate Bosworth a while back.

Actor Danny Trejo, wearing a Maison Martin Margiela leather jacket, is the only non-model that is featured on the covers. The black and white cover is shot by Bryan Adams. At first, I found this cover to be the odd one out, and in many ways it still is, but the more I look at it, the more I love how it contrasts to the others.

Bryan Adams has also shot the third cover for Zoo Magazine which features Angela Lindvall in a hot pink top by Lanvin. Somehow, I get a 50s housewife feel when I look at it without really knowing why. I am guessing it has something to with the tall, sprayed hair, the baby pink earrings and her "I may look innocent, but I certainly ain't" look. 

The fourth and last cover features model Diana Dondoe in an incredible Bottega Veneta jumpsuit, photographed by Laetitia Negre. The black and white photo, the leather gloves and Dondoe's confident stare into the camera gives it the femme fatale vibe.

Vogue Covers April 2011

The covers for Paris Vogue and Germany Vogue were recently published, and I am guessing editors in chief, Christiane Arp and Emmanuelle Alt, were surprised when they saw each others covers as they both have featured the same dress from Dolce & Gabbana's S/S 2011 collection.

Gisele Bundchen wears it for Paris Vogue, shot by Inez &Vinoodh. I love the feel of spring that this cover expresses, and Gisele looks gorgeous, but to be honest I do expect a bit more from Emmanuelle Alt, since it is her first cover as editor in chief. However, some say that this is her first cover, while others claim that everything for Vogue Paris has been set until the end of the season, meaning that Carine Roitfeld chose this cover. The world of fashion is a busy place.

Britt Maren covers the Vogue Germany issue in the gorgeous, summer dress by D&G. I really like this cover, especially because I love Britt Maren's short, blonde hair and how good it looks with the dress. The blue background is also very fresh and summery. It seems like the whole world of Vogue are going crazy for this dress, as Vogue Spain featured Constance Jablonski wearing it for the February 2011 cover. 

Which cover to you like best? Vogue Paris or Vogue Germany?

Vogue Australia April 2011 Cover: Anja Rubik

Two days ago, I posted parts of the gorgeous editorial, Edge of Forever, featured in the April issue of Vogue Australia. The cover of the same issue is just as lovely. I really like the luxury bohemian, 70s vibe that I get from looking at Anja Rubik - a perfect look for summer. Also, I love the use of golden accessories during the summer. It looks fabulous together with tanned skin.

In an interview inside the magazine, Anja talks about her own personal style: "I don't put any rules to my style; I think fashion is something you should play with...even if you make a mistake it's okay, it's only fashion." Vogue Australia has also gotten her style tips for the various seasons: "For summer, her look leans towards hippie luxe, with long skirts, waisted belts, scarfs and cotton T-shirts, while in the winter she builds a rock'n'roll wardrobe around her favourite Les Chiffoniers leather pants. Refreshingly, she works a high-low mix of labels, teaming Isabel Marant and Dries Van Noten with gems from H&M."

Keira Knightley for Elle UK March 2011

Tom Ford has a talent for capturing the most beautiful sides of women, in his designs, in his photographs and in his styling. In the March edition of UK Elle, he has styled the beautiful Keira Knightley, where the whole editorial is dedicated to pieces designed by him. The cover is shot by Terry Tsiolis, capturing Keira's 5th cover shot for Elle UK. She must definitely be very happy with this one, as she looks so glamorous, elegant and simply stunning.

Vogue Nippon Getting Festive

The December 2010 issues are popping up, and according to the fashion industry it's time to be thinking about Christmas soon (even though it's still only October!). Ah well, there is no lagging behind when it comes to fashion. I wouldn't say that I am ready for Christmas yet (don't get me wrong, I LOVE Christmas!), but this cover for Vogue Nippon definitely puts me in a festive mood. It must be the sequined Emilio Pucci dress from the fall 2010 collection, and all the gold jewelry.

Also, I must admit that I love the blue lipstick used for the cover. I never used to be such a big fan of blue make-up, but lately it seems like I have been loving it since I praised the blue eyeshadow used for the cover of the November issue of Vogue Paris.

I absolutely adore the jewelry used in the photo above. It's the kind of unique pieces that you expect Olivia Palermo to wear. Hmm, I am already planning to wear lots of sequins and glitter together with large pieces of jewelry this Christmas...I wonder why?

Love & Peace

Those of you who have followed Style Spot for a while, know how much I love Vogue Paris. I could rant on for hours about how incredible Carine Roitfeld and her creative team are. But I won't do that now. Instead I want to ask you what you think of the magazine's cover for the November issue. Do you love it? Or do you hate it? I really like it. First of all I think Natasha Poly is a great model, and she works the Givenchy SS '11 hair so well. Also, I love the hippie vibe of the cover. I used to want to be a hippie when I was younger, and I still think there's a little flower child inside of me. Thirdly, the make-up is stunning. The blue eyeshadow almost pops off the cover, and is extremely attention-grabbing. Well done, Vogue Paris!

What do you think of the November 2010 cover?
	I absolutely love it!
	It's okay, but nothing special.
	I hate it!
