Before Gaga, there was Gisele, pantless for the August 2000 issue of Numéro, shot by Patrick Demarchelier.

Love this spread, something so beautiful about the colors and the juxtaposition of the meadow with the all black garments.

The Numéro #107 October 09 cover features model Eniko Mihalik, and is shot by Greg Kadel.

Looks like the September cover battle is between Kate Moss and Lara Stone. Moss may be winning for now, but being Lagerfeld’s current crush of choice wins in the long run.

The punk-inspired styling is nothing new, but the Catherine McNeil’s spread in Numéro #105 (August 2009) is gorgeous nonetheless.

The Greg Kadel-shot editorial, “Just for One Day,” is heavy on studs, shoulders, and black-and-white.

Myf Shepherd does aviator chic in this smokey androgynous editorial. Jumpsuits, trench coats make for a chic jet setter.

Hilary Rhoda looks like she belongs in the jungle in Numero.  Dusan Reljin did a great job using natural light to capture Rhoda in bird-like masks and floaty fabrics, but Rhoda isn’t the only thing beautiful in these photos, the scenery is gorgeous! Check out the rest of the shoot on Cult

The redhead-playing-with-fire theme isn’t terribly original, but Karen Elson still looks, um, hot on the June/July 2009 issue of Numéro.

Issue #104, titled “Fever,” is kind of a stand-out photo for the spring/summer season, though, when imagery is usually a lot cleaner and lighter.

Myf Shepherd (who was also on Aussie Vogue this month) played a geisha girl for Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello.  The first photo is amazing, I think Shepherd is totally gorgeous, and I love the jewels in her hair.  Her face is a bit dead in the rest of the pictures, but maybe she’s supposed to be looking like a doll?

Vlada Roslyakova covers the July/August 2009 issue of Numero Tokyo. In the editorial, shot by David Vasiljevic and styled by Victoria Adcock, the Russian model plays the part of 80’s jailbait.

The Valley Girl themed story features high ponytails, big bows, lace, and denim, as far as Madonna’s eye can see.

This spread is a couple months old, but still gorgeous. The Greg Kadel-shot spread for the April 2009 issue of Numero is dark yet luminous. “Lady Lafayette” is a Spring spread, but the color palette draws on much richer colors to complement the pale skin and angular features of Patti-Smith-lookalike Jamie Bochert.

I am being forced to write about this image of Shannan Click for Numero photographed by Camilla Akrans, apparently the shiny jacked is a must have this season.a

Josh Olin shoots “L’hirondelle” (the swallow) with Anja Rubik for  the latest Numéro. Love her new haircut, and the black and white imagery is so beautifully dramatic…

Magdalena Frackowiak is stunning in this spread titled Á Fleur de Peau, for Numéro (Issue #103) shot by  Sølve Sundsbø.

Magdalena Frackowiak for Numéro 103 (May 09) shot by Solve Sundsbo. Such a beautiful cover, love the contrast of the all pale makeup and blond hair to the brightness of the orchid stem.

This golden vintage editorial proves once and for all why Anja Rubik is a supermodel!
