“My dog, Puffy. The dog is the perfect portrait subject. He doesn’t pose. He isn’t aware of the camera.” -Patrick Demarchelier’s answer to the question “Your favorite portrait?” asked by Time Magazine for “10 Questions For Patrick Demarchelier

Cameron Russell, Du Juan, Lakshmi Menon, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Bianca Balti and Constance Jablonski are the 6 stars of a beauty editorial titled “Making Waves” in Allure Magazine’s October 09 issue. Shot by legendary photography phenom Patrick Demarchelier, the photos are FIERCE. The hairstyles (the real stars of the editorial) and makeup are reminiscent of the 80s. One of the beauties sporting loose curls reminds me of the “The Breck Girl” while another has Jessica Rabbit-esque waves. The makeup is bold and bright, just how I like it. Overall a fabulous spread…

Here are a few shots from a Vogue China Beauty editorial.

Jem Mitchell shot Du Juan doing her best Danny Zuko for this April 2009 cover. Inside the spread the models sport rockabilly hairstyles, including one that nearly defies gravity.

GALLERY: Vogue China Beauty April 2009.

A few weeks ago I did a photo shoot with one of my favorite Japanese models Ayaka, at the end of the shoot she gave me a goodie bag of items from Japan that she thought I would enjoy (sushi rice, rice steamer, candy, eye lashes, and the latest issue of Vogue China).

The model that is in this China Vogue April 2009 issue spread is Chinese model Du Juan. I think the China Vogue is amazing. So, I wanted to share with you a few pictures in this month issue. The cover is my favorite picture because of the makeup and hair…but you be the judge and see for yourself.
