SPREAD UM: ‘Venus Envy’ with Natasha Poly & Raquel Zimmermann for V Mag

Edited by Hillary Frazier

You can never go wrong with black and white. This simple seamless backdrop brings all the attention to the intricate designs of the dresses and jutting collarbones of the models, Vanderperre did a great job with ‘Venus Envy.’

This editorial shoot for V Magazine has a creepy quality, with a few mascara-running shots worthy of a horror film, but nonetheless, the washed out skin tones and contrasting black and white dresses bring together fantasy dreams and nightmares.

Fashion Porn: Gisele in V Mag

Edited by Rebecca Alexander

Out this week, this racy and controversial photoshoot has taken media by storm. Even Gisele admits these pictures, taken by fashion photographer Mario Testino, are a little over the top for her, saying they’re the kind of pictures “only Mario could make me take.”

These honestly belong in more of a Playboy than V Mag, but what do I know, Gisele is HOT! I think these photos make every woman jealous (at least me) and every man drop to his knees. Smart girl, she was off the radar for a bit, and now these bring her back with a Bang!
