THE DAILY GASP: Daphne Guinness for Vogue Germany

“You’ve got your mother in a whirl/ She’s not sure if you’re a boy or a girl.” Daphne Guinness takes an androgynous turn as a rock star of David Bowie proportions in “Rebel, Rebel” for Vogue Germany shot by Bryan Adams.

Bowie, particularly his high glam Ziggy Stardust era, has been referenced to death in fashion spreads and understandably so — what with all that glitter, silver and shimmer. So it’s fitting that the high glam Guinness should get in touch with her inner Thin White Duke. With help from stylist Lotta Aspenberg, the heiress fits perfectly into the Stardust memory. “Rebel, rebel, how could they know?/Hot tramp, I love you so!”

THE DAILY GASP: Kate Moss for Vogue Paris

Kate Moss has done Davie Bowie for a Vogue cover before, lest we remind you of this stunner from Vogue UK‘s May 2003 issue. And god (i.e. Anna Wintour) knows Vogue Paris covers have only been decent to pretty good since Emmanuelle Alt took over the reins earlier this year, but nothing quite gasp-worthy.

Then under the buzzer, this happens. By referencing/recycling that eight-year-old cover and giving it their own spin, Alt and co. end the year on a decidedly high note. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott capture Moss in glam rock Ziggy Stardust regalia for FrenchVogue‘s December/January 2012 issue. Freak out, this moonage daydream’s so chic.

SPREAD UM: Tyler Riggs, Dennis Johnson, And Tommy Cox By Nagi Saki For Tush

Makeup artist Tyron Machhausen created a cool Ziggy Stardust look for this shoot, with all of that paint and glitter. I love the gender-bending looks, and think Nagi Saki retains the guy’s masculinity throughout. I think this shoot is so cool, and would love to see the whole spread in Tush.
