Despite Lady Gaga’s extreme attempts at shocking fashion it seems rare to find her on the cover of a magazine or in a stylized shoot. But now that I have found one, I’m on the hunt for more. Having someone else be her stylist is a much more flattering look then my little pony hair and Kermit the Frog blazers. At this point I’d be more shocked to see her in normal clothes! The styling in this Out spread is far from normal, but she looks good and its vampire inspired so no complaining from me.

Photographer Ellen von Unwerth shot this pointless editorial spread for German Zoo Mag. It might be just me, but I don’t understand what this spread is about. Models Claudia Seiler and Luize Salmgrieze attempt desperatly to make the clothing look good and meaningful, yet they seem distracted. Also, why is it titled ‘A Sence of Place?” I just don’t get it…

Inspired by the ancient civilizations referenced in the Spring/Summer 09 Collections, Dazed & Confused this month summons ‘Divine Power’ and sets about channeling everything that is awe-inspiringly ancient and majestic about the worlds of fashion, art, music and film at the moment.

Model of the moment Lakshmi, creative director Nicola Formichetti and photographer Josh Olins combine their godlike touch to create this issue’s highly dramatic cover shoot, while fashion editor Katie Shillingford even gained access to the inner circle of Stonehenge for her unprecedented shoot with photographer Mel Bles. Acclaimed photographer Ellen Von Unwerth meanwhile makes for the town of Bedrock in her Flintstones-inspired shoot with stylist Joanna Schlenzka.

Olga Kurylenko looks like a fierce, Austin Powers secret agent-esque version of an American Apparel ad. Give me a metallic jumpsuit any day of the week, but what I’m really concentrating on here are the accessories. Can I get hooked-up quick with a gold handgun, black crystal-studded cuffs and some huge, elaborate chokers? Ellen von Unwerth did a great job of capturing the action element in these photos, even though it was probably minimal in reality. I can only imagine how much Dov Charney is loving this spread.

Funny I came across this today, as I just watched The Prisoner of Azkaban on Sunday night. I love, love, love this spread; Emma Watson looks incredibly beautiful and energetic. The talented young actress was photographed by Ellen von Unwerth for a recent issue of Vs. magazine. She wears all of the clothes really well, looking very mature yet young and playful.

Brit-pop sensation Lily Allen makes a fabulous cover girl for the February issue of Spin Magazine. Photographer Ellen von Unwerth shot Allen for the cover and spread inside. Girlfriend looks fabulous in some of the best dresses I’ve seen in awhile. The number with the black stars in my absolute favorite, but the shoes she’s wearing while standing on the stairs bring tears to my eyes. I’ve always admired and respected Allen, not only for her awesome music, but her individualistic style as well. I’m not a Spin reader, but I might have to snag this issue.
