Saskia de Brauw, Karmen Pedaru, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Anja Rubik & Stella Tenant for Numéro #126 September 2011

We are loving the casts (the combination of new face, Saskia de Brauw with established top models, Karmen Pedaru, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Anja Rubik and the veteran Stella Tennant) on this latest cover of Numéro #126, but not the execution by Karl Lagerfeld. We wish Karl would go different direction than black and white. C’mon Karl! Try other colors!! 😀

Oh, and Abbey Lee, sorry girl, but you’re the weakest in this cover…

Click here to view last year stunning cover featuring Natasha Poly and here for 2009 cover featuring Lara Stone. Guess what? Those covers are black and white and lensed by Karl Lagerfeld. He photographed the covers for the last two September issues of Numéro!

Six Covers of i-D Summer 2011

i-D Magazine doubled up this year’s cover slot with six covers photographed by six different photographers for their latest issue, Summer 2011, The Hedonist Issue styled by Edward Enninful (he is the new fashion and style director of W Magazine, replacing Alex White. Congratulations!), Marie Chaix and Elgar Johnson!

Craig McDean, Matt Jones, Daniel Jackson, Josh Olins, Alasdair McLellan and Paolo Roversi lensed famous names such as Amber Valetta, Behati Prinsloo, Kristen McMenamy, Stella Tennant, Daphne Groeneveld and the first male cover star for the magazine in SIX years! Yes, they haven’t featured a male model on the cover for that long and the lucky one is Patrick O’Donnell of Models 1 London.
