Emma Summerton captured the high fashion Jourdan Dunn, Anais Mali and Jasmine Tookes are now well-known for, to illustrate this editorial that will be featured in the March issue of W magazine.

That Editorial

The June 2011 issue of Vibe Vixen Magazine features model Eva Marcille and her platinum blond ponytail in the desert. She displays Topshop, Prada, American Apparel and YSL. Kudos to those Pierre Hardy Striped Wedges. Gorgeous !

When rumors about bleaching her skin are buzzing all over the internet, Beyonce darkens her face for the March issue of L'Officiel Magazine, its 90th birthday issue by the way.

Gangs of New York

In the February '11 issue of Vogue US, there is a fabulous editorial by Mario Testino, noted Peruvian fashion photographer, with 30 goregous models styled with Dona Karan, Ralph Lauren and Proenza Schouler.
There are the 'gangs' of brunettes, the blonds, the red-haired, the asian girls, the 'sexy' girls, the Renaissance ones, and of course the Black girls.

The last ones feature Joan Smalls, Ajak Deng, Arlenis Sosa, Chanel Iman, Anais Mali, Jourdan Dunn and Sessilee Lopez. Now if you don't know them all, you might keep their names in mind, because they are the new faces of that growing community of black models.

"Survival of the Fashionista"

This is some random editorial I bumped into on Essence.com. It was shot back in September 2009 and the girls feature creations by Hussein Chalayan and Bryce D'Anice Aime.

Models: Eligha Ojoko and Teara Eglestone from Major Model Management.

This is one of my favourite spreads: November '09 issue of Vogue Paris. It was some advertising for Louis Vuitton, and at the same time a subtle tribute to artist David Haring, as he inspired those body-painted graffitis. Brazilian model Isabela Fontana got her glamazon role way more than well-done too: could someone have brought some more fierceness to this ?? Nuh-huh !
