80’s inspired styling and a lack of eyebrows seem to be two clues that an editorial is from 2009.  This Vogue Nippon spread has those two prerequisites, but thankfully brings something new too the table: endless buff boys and a gorgeous ocean location. Edita plays a cougar-like role here with the mature styling and the multitude of young, buff boys chasing her around.

This beauty edit is more of an accessories edit, and I’m loving it. All too often stand out accessories blend in due to full body shots and overpowering clothing. Here the focus remains exactly where it should: on the hats, headbands, jewelry and colorful eye-makeup.

Sølve Sundsbø shot Freja Beha Erichsen for the July 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon. 

The black-and-white spread, titled ”My Cowgirl Hero,” is a grown-up and non-porny re-imagining of the traditional cowboy.  The subtle matador influence keeps it in the high-fashion realm rather than in the rodeo.

This triple collaboration has resulted in a pretty damn cool t-shirt. The proceeds go to help out AIDS patients, which is seen in the print that is on the shirt. The website to buy it from is in another language, but I’m sur eyou can figure it out. Purchase it here from Bobos Shop.

Kate Moss is set to cover Vogue Nippon July ‘09.  I think she’s looking good here, the short hair is a good look for her, although I am not a huge fan of orange lipstick.

For “The Natural,” a spread in the May 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon, stylist Charlotte Stockdale worked within a world of juxtaposition.

Emma Summerton photographed Eniko Mihalik in wild dirty hair with structured dresses and clean tulle, and shiny bare skin against a background of white drapery and wood.

Bronzed skin, highlighter, gold eyeshadow, and shimmery nude lips are what makes Anja so gorgeous in this spread, not that she needs any of it. Shot by Nathaniel Goldberg, this spread features what’s hot in beauty: smokey eyes and golden skin.

Camilla Akrans shot Devon Aoki for this sexy spread in the June 2009 issue of Vogue Nippon. Devon plays up her cat ears accessory so well, the fact that the Alexander Wang mesh dress is still in rotation flies right under the radar.

Love this spread, the styling of the clothes is incredible. I also adore the colors, the metallics mixed with the black and white, and the shapes are breathtaking…the bubble skirt, the shoulder pads!

Something about seeing Gareth Pugh everywhere is throwing me off. Dude is on fire!!! I just hope to see some of his stuff in person someday, I feel like touching it in person will be the closest I get to realizing that female Stormtrooper fantasy itch I need to scratch. Yeah, I’m odd like that…

Vogue Nippon hasn’t once disappointed me this year. I love the tone of this spread shot by Mark Segal for the magazine’s March 09 issue. Weber’s hair looks amazing, and she wears the clothes quite well. And I’m all about that little moped she’s rocking.

When supermodel Mariacarla Boscono models for photographer Camilla Akrans, you know something great is going to come from it. This spread for the March issue of Vogue Nippon has luxurious Italian palazzo written all over it. All of her dresses say something different, from conservative beauty to disco superstar. I think these two should work together more often; the results are fantastic.

Thanks to Korey Lartigue-Webb for the photos.
