Marion Cotillard for Harper’s Bazaar UK December 2012

UPDATED NOVEMBER 08th 2012: The cover was photographed by Ben Hassett and styled by Julia von Boehm. Also added the subscriber cover via TFS.

UPDATED OCTOBER 31st 2012: Marion Cotillard is wearing a Dior Haute Couture Fall Winter 2012 dress on the cover.

The 37 year old actress is featured for the incredibly minimalist and disappointing December cover from Harper’s Bazaar UK. Wish they brighten up the cover for a little. It’s December issue, people! But at least Marion Cotillard looks gorgeous.

Kate Moss for Vanity Fair December 2012

Wow! This is just lovely and stunning!

Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott redeemed all of those bad covers from Vanity Fair (we’re looking at you Kate Middleton and Daniel Craig!) this year with this strikingly gorgeous shot of one blonde Kate Moss for the December issue. The text is a bit too much, but it’s still lovely nevertheless.

Featured Article: Numéro Tokyo 2012 Covers Recap

From ten covers of Numéro Tokyo this year, seven of them are featured the cover girls posing in front of plain backdrop (we didn’t count Candice Swanepoel‘s shadowy background). They brighten it up with multicolored, ombré, and clashing masthead and fonts. Some of them worked, some doesn’t.

For the cover models, they featured 1 singer turned successful fashion designer (Victoria Beckham), 1 model/TV personality/host (Alexa Chung), 1 former Estée Lauder spokesperson (Hilary Rhoda), 1 rockstar daughter (Georgia May Jagger), 2 current Victoria’s Secret Angels (Miranda Kerr and Candice Swanepoel), 2 models who walked Victoria’s Secret fashion shows (Lily Donaldson and Toni Garrn), and 2 household names in high fashion runways (Lindsey Wixson and Ginta Lapina).

Chilean born photographer Nino Muñoz snapped four covers this year (April, June, November and December), while Alexi Lubomirski (who was born in Wimbledon) and Horst Diekgerdes (born in Germany) photographed two covers each, January/February, September, March, and July/August respectively.

Fashion photographers Eric Guillemain and Angelo Pennetta shot one cover each in 2012 for the magazine. The former worked together with Lindsey Wixson for May cover, while the latter with Alexa Chung for October issue.

Our favourite cover from Numéro Tokyo this year goes to Victoria Beckham‘s March issue by Horst Diekgerdes. The colors are great and her side face shot is stunning.

Which one is your favourite this year, guys?

Kate Upton for Vogue Italia November 2012

Lots of people doesn’t really get Kate Upton‘s appeal on high fashion, but seems like fashion editors are trusting the young sexy 20-year-old American model that she can do high fashion jobs.

She landed the cover of Carine Roitfeld‘s new magazine, going to the MET Gala earlier this year (some said she paid tons of money to be in the prestigious event..), got featured on Vogue US, and now, probably her wildest dream come true, the coveted cover slot of Vogue Italia (her first Vogue cover)! What next, Ms.Upton? A Vogue US cover?

Anyway, for the cover that was styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele and photographed by Steven Meisel, Kate Upton is wearing a Patricia Field bustier and Fendi fur. Her bombshell tresses was done by Oribe, while the make up was the works of Pat McGrath.
