Dominika Kucharova models Harper’s Caech’s style vision of spring’s fashion must-haves, lensed by Matus Toth in ‘Jenom Tonej … ‘. Prada, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel contribute their best.

Christiane Schwambach styles model Melina Martin in a lovely, soft focus editorial ‘Sparkling Sky’, lensed by Roman Asmus for Material Girl’s winter issue.

Sean McMenomy takes a trip to Africa with model Josefine Nielsen in Dansk’s new issue. Shot darkly in a picturesque savannah setting, Josefine is styled by Anne Stockmann with modern tribal references./ Hair and beauty byTrine Skjøth.

Kirsten Dunst is ‘True Heart’, presumably a reference to her 1999 movie role as a young girl lost in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash. Yelena Yemchuk photographs Dunst as a fair fashion maiden again in the forest, styled safely by Leith Clark for Vogue Italia’s February issue.

Edie Campbell is the cover girl joined by Ruth Wilson, Sophia Hesketh, Olivia Grant, Leah Weller, Amber le Bon, Florrie Arnold, Caroline Sieber, Bonnie Wright, Paloma Faith, Jade Williams and Francesca Hammerstein in ‘This Season I Will Mostly Be Wearing’ 12 femmes picking their favorite looks. Luis Monteiro makes the fashion capture, styled by Anna Bromilow for Tatler UK March 2012

What a fabulous concept for a self-photography project. One is snapped in a series of classic poses, with snaps then sent to an online digital house that transposes woman in chair to multiple locations around the world. It could be my trip that I never took.

I’ll take it — pastels in a modern skyscraper — even a sixties skyscraper. Frederic Auerbach snaps Farah Holt in ‘Sherbet’, styled by Mouchette Bell for Tatler UK’s current issue. /Hair by Adrian Clark; makeup by Ruby Hammer

The gorgeous Reese Witherspoon is styled by Charlotte-Anne Fidler in an impeccable colour palette of pastels from Valentino, Louis Vuitton, Jason Wu and others for the latest issue of Glamour UK.  Behind the wheel in full fifties regalia and a vintage convertible, Reese is lensed by Simon Emmett. /Hair by lona Vigi; makeup artist Mai Quynh.

 I just wrote a very rebellious post about ANOTHER ladylike editorial that is so predictable. This constipated image dump could go on for months since it’s only early February. For crying out loud, the Republicans aren’t running the country yet. SOOOOO, I really appreciate Balovino Barani’s original editorial published in January’s SCMP (South China Morning Post.) It’s brilliant!

Called ‘Senior Citizens’, Barani captures models Meng and Patti Zhao, posing in an urban setting as boomer women now old enough to remember the last time they wore these clothes. The styling is a bit updated in places but I positively adore this witty, eccentric look at ‘senior style’. Cheryl Leung styles the duo in Dior, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs.

Lindsey Wixson and Terry Richardson team up yet again this season, delivering a charming, amusing, pretty editorial for the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar US. Lindsey even skates her way into a charming encounter with human amusement marine life (a touchy subject at AOC). Styled by Julia von Boehm, Lindsey wears Emilio Pucci, Valentino, Proenza Schouler and more in ‘Chic in the Heat’, a reminder why most of us love Miami.

Marilyn Monroe inspirations are rampant this season, with such a strong retro style mood. Emma Pick enjoys a lovely Marilyn moment, framing her blond bombshell in a soft, simmering but genuinely sensual set of images for the March issue of Cosmopolitan France. Styled by Dominique Casalta, her modern Marilyn wears Veronique Leroy, Nina Ricci, and Alexandre Vauthier to create a lasting style impression in ‘Retro Chic’. /Makeup by Audrey’ hair by Franck Nemoz.

White textures soar in Fred Aufray’s ‘Cartes Blanches’ for Cosmopolitan France March issue. Marie Malissen styles a mix of Chanel, Vanessa Bruno, Sonia Rykiel and more for one young model with the world at her feet.

Anouk De Heer is ready for a ladylike garden party in Mark Kean’s latest work for the February/March edition of Wonderland Magazine. Julia Sarr Jamois dresses Anouk in the fifties femininity of Valentino, Miu Miu, Christopher Kane and more as she makes her trellis-inspired style appearance from set designer Suzanne Beirne. / Hair by Panos, Makeup by Mel Arter

More ladylike, nonthreatening feel-good looks from the spring collections. We’re expecting Donna Reed to come rushing out of the kitchen any second. Iris Egbers is very retro chic in the February issue of Cover magazine. With headpieces to match, Iris is styled by Naomi Itkes, then lensed by Marcus Ohlsson for ‘Très Chic’.

Zuzanna Bijoch models ‘The Finest Line’, an intellectual, almost urban monastic look at Spring 2012 fashion, styled by Joe McKenna for Vogue UK’s March issue. David Sims makes the studio capture. /Hair by Guido; makeup by Diane Kendal.
