See … why doesn’t Vogue in the US ever doing things like this? Granted I don’t exactly read it on a regualr basis … or really at all unless there is something interesting on the cover. However, you have all these wonderful tear sheats from it’s overseas versions and anytime I *have* cracked openthe American Vogue there has never been anything near that interesting.

Love the makeup on the model. Very Blade Runner-esque.

these are gorgeous… however, I’m highly amused by the fourth picture, (and later) as she has a rack of trad climbing gear hanging off her studded belt. I suppose it looks industrial and all to those not in the sport, but to me I’m like “why is she preparing to climb a large cliff? where is her rope and helmet?”

Wow and the wow – these are amazing! (and I have some ideas on what to do with my damn flyaway hair now!)
Same same with the Australian Vogue – just doesn’t compare the the Italian version! Or probably any other European based one.

my favorite one is #2, i wish i could get away with makeup like that. that girl is fierce, & not in that fake way that everyone uses it now. but truly fierce, ferocious.
