For the March 2010 issue of Vogue Nippon is an 18-page editorial entitled “The Lonesome Highway” starring 19-year-old Russian cover girl Anna Selezneva of Silent Models, who was featured on the cover of Numéro February 2010, shot by photographer Mark Segal. Styled by George Cortina, Anna brings to life the simplicity of rural life in patterned pieces by designers Alexander McQueen, Louis Vuitton, Jeremy Scott, and Chanel with my favorite piece being the pink Jeremy Scott strapless bodysuit looking very young, fresh, and chic.

Alexander McQueen’s Lobster Claw shoes live on in spring fashion mags around the world. For March, 2010 Frida Gustavsson made an appearance in Vogue in a set of Lobster Claw stilettos.

16-year-old Swedish model Frida Gustavsson of IMG, who recently appeared in editorials for Vogue Italia and W, stars on the cover and in an editorial entitled “Style Stars” for the March 2010 issue of Vogue Germany shot by photographer Greg Kadel. Presenting trends for this season, Frida looks flawless in designs by Alexander McQueen, Prada, Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Balmain, Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, Chloé, and Dolce & Gabbana from mixed patterns, denims, and structured pieces to afros, purple eyeshadow, and cat faces. My favorite trend for the season comes from Louis Vuitton combining afro chic with a maturing lolita look.

Teen Vogue is constantly striving to make fashion appealing to the younger generation. In the recent issue, 16-year-old Russian newcomer Kate Kosushkina of Supreme Models, who recently appeared in an editorial for W magazine by Craig McDean, is featured in an editorial entitled “Toy Soldier” shot by photographer Nick Haymes. Styled by Havana Laffitte in this quirky editorial, Kate is shown in sweet and colorful ensembles from spring collections by the likes of Toga, Holly Fulton, Proenza Schouler, Louis Vuitton, Missoni, and Billabong playing with marionettes, in a field of dried grass, and being surrounded by puppets on strings. Although it seems like Teen Vogue was attempting to create a cutesy editorial, the puppets they utilized were a bit dark and creepy which really took the cutesy aspect away.

The eldest daughter of Duran Duran lead singer Simon Le Bon and model Yasmin Le Bon is 20-year-old model Amber Le Bon, who is featured in an editorial entitled “The Name’s Bon” for Tatler March 2010 shot by photographer Marcin Tyszka. Full of vibrant colors and bold prints, Hannah Teare styled Amber in a silk dress and underskirt by Emporio Armani, a Prada silk dress, a Moschino dress with beaded neckline, a silk sleeveless dress by Roberto Cavalli, a Dior silk-chiffon dress, and a Louis Vuitton silk dress. Utilizing a country home setting, my favorite look on Amber is the Moschino dress with a beaded neckline due to the bright oranges and lime greens looking stunning against Amber’s bronzed skin.

In a recent editorial entitled “How To Brighten Up Your Wardrobe” by photographer Sølve Sundsbø for V MAN, Russian male model Arthur Daniyarov of DNA, who was recently in a campaign for Jill Sander, is imaged with the perfect amount of light donning the season’s hottest monochromatic designs. Styled by Jay Massacret, Arthur showcases designs by Burberry Prorsum, Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Z Zegna, and Lanvin. I like this editorial due to the fact that the lighting creates a neon glow making the ensembles jump out of the images.

24-year-old Czech supermodel Hana Soukupova of IMG, who recently appeared in Vogue Germany by Paola Kudacki, is featured in an editorial entitled “Wall Flowers” shot by photographer Regan Cameron. Shot on the streets with graffiti covered walls, Hana is showcased in Marc Jacobs nylon silk jack and leather belt with silk organza shorts, Gucci canvas jacket and cotton top with black pants, Chloé viscoe-linen-and-cotton dress and buffalo-leather belt with leather-and-suede Phi boots, Balenciaga leather-and-polyester-jersey-organza top with leather pants, a Burberry Prorsum gabardine trench, an Alexander Wang lambskin jacket with detachable cotton linen elastane skirt, and Louis Vuitton cotton shirt and skirt with Bottega Veneta Raffia sandals. Although I really enjoy the ensembles, backdrops, and hair in this editorial, I feel that the eye makeup on Hana was too dark overall. In my opinion, the makeup artist should have either given Hana a fresh, natural look or smokier eyes with less black eyeliner.
