In Flight

America's sweetheart Karlie Kloss continues her ascent up the supermodel ladder with an exhilarating editorial appearance in the March edition of Paris Vogue. Lensed by master photographer Hans Feurer and with styling by Marie Chaix, Kloss looks primed for take-off showcasing the latest in high street sports wear and eye-catching accessories. Feurer's signature photographic style is instantly recognisable, due to the use of natural light and dynamic movement in an outdoors setting. Throughout his prolific career, Feurer's imagery has appeared in British Vogue, French Elle, US Vogue, Vogue China, i-D Magazine and Paris Vogue. With Emmanuelle Alt at the helm of Paris Vogue, Feurer's career has experienced somewhat of a resurgence with multiple Paris Vogue editorials over the past year featuring the likes of Joan Smalls, Sasha Pivovarova and Anja Rubik. Kloss' athletic prowess and emotional range is a perfect compliment to Feurer's lens.

Mad About Daria

Canadian supermodel Daria Werbowry cements her status as one of the few iconic models of the current generation of girls with a gargantuan 70 page editorial appearance in the February 2012 issue of Paris Vogue. Photographed by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin in Las Vegas and in Ireland, Werbowry showcases the latest Spring/Summer 2012 fashions in a series of studio and on-location shots set amidst a backdrop of bright casino lights, Elvis impersonators and the stunning desert landscape. The accompanying article on Werbowry pays homage to the versatile, 180 cm tall, model turned sailor, "Daria Body & Soul: five covers, twenty editorials, seventy pages this month. Eight years of crazy love between Vogue Paris and Daria Werbowry... this time it is far from the runways, the glitter, and the world of fashion that the muse - a little wild - of Lancome finds her balance. Instead she finds herself journeying with shamans, in the middle of the ocean or cut off from the world in her new home in Ireland. A beautiful soul in a pure state."

Leader of the Pack

Brazilian bombshell Raquel Zimmermann is one of the few models of the current generation who has managed to continually enthral and inspire designers, stylists and photographers through who her uncanny ability to reinvent herself with each and every editorial appearance. Paris Vogue's November 2011 issue features is Zimmermann rocking it out in the latest haute couture finery in front of Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin's lens. Zimmerman literally leaps of the pages in a series of high energy poses and facial expressions whilst bringing a touch of humour to the Emanuelle Alt styled editorial.

The Best Things In Life Are Free

Kristina Salinovic sports Summers' most attractive and enticing accessory in a delightfully exuberant "all-smiles" editorial for the September issue of Paris Vogue. Lensed by David Sims, Croatian model Salinovic brings plenty of pep and sparkle as she breathes life into creations by Dolce Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Balmain, Jeremy Scott and Gareth Pugh. Emmanuelle Alt's immaculate styling coupled with Salinovic's quirky and sophisticated beauty provide the perfect antidote for the dismal summer that we are experiencing here in Berlin.

Back in Vogue

The fashion industry has been abuzz with speculation as to the changes afoot at Paris Vogue with newly appointed editor-in-chief, Emanuelle Alt at the helm. In an interview with vogue.com, Alt revealed that "I want to keep the quality, the photographers we work with - David Sims, Mert and Marcus, Mario Testino and Bruce Weber. I don't think there should be radical changes. The magazine should still be chic and sophisticated." It is no surprise then that Alt's first three issues of Paris Vogue have all the regular staple photographers driving her vision for the publication. I was about to stifle a yawn, when I turned a page and saw a name that I had not seen in print in Paris Vogue for years, Hans Feurer.

Swiss-born Feurer, was a renowned fashion photographer in the 70s and 80s, whose name was synonymous with publications such as British Vogue, Vogue Paris, US Vogue, Marie Claire and French Elle. I have been a long-standing admirer of Feurer's work which is clearly distinguishable by his use of long lenses, blurred back grounds and grainy film aspect with the subject in sharp focus. Much of Feurer's work is shot in outdoor location settings with the model in motion, taking maximum effect of the natural light and environment.

Feurer has captured many of the world's most recognisable models on film. When quizzed in an interview for Paris Vogue as to who he would most like to photograph, Feurer rhapsodises "I had the chance to work with the most beautiful women in the world from Pat Cleveland, Christy Turlington to Stephanie Seymour... Kate Moss is the only one that I haven't photographed." Feurer is definitely back in the game having contributed most recently to i-D Magazine, Vogue China and Numero. I have a feeling the best is yet to come from Feurer and am hedging bets on Alt playing an instrumental role in combining the creative talents of Moss and Feurer.

Kiss Me Kate!

Kate Moss stars on the cover of Emmanuelle Alt's second installment as Editor in Chief at Paris Vogue. The eye grabbing cover shot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, features Moss staring cooly down the lens of the camera as she is being grappled by five hands. The allure and mystical appeal of Moss is as riveting as ever and her captivating beauty is that of a woman who has lived and experienced life to the full. The accompanying editorial showcases the latest haute couture pieces from the likes of Givenchy and Armani Prive and Moss works each luxe look to maximum effect as only she can.

Stopping Traffic

Emmanuelle Alt makes her debut as Editor-in-Chief at Paris Vogue with a visually arresting cover featuring supermodel Gisele Bundchen. The cover for the April 2011 issue lensed by Inez Van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, features Bundchen posing provocatively in her bra and panties in the countryside. Gisele looks resplendent in a lace slip dress that shows off her best assets and will no doubt help to boost circulation levels for the Alt's debut issue. The question remains as to whether the commercial appeal of the cover marks a new direction for Paris Vogue. Alt has gone on the record as saying that "the magazine will be the same but different" under her direction.
