This month's Vogue Paris, with supermodel Kate Moss on the cover, is dedicated to the top models in the industry. The cover is a typical Vogue Paris cover, sexy and sensual, but it's contents is creating quite a stir at CNN headquarters, not so sexy. Inside the issue model Lara Stone appears in an editorial, photographed by Steven Klein, in full black body makeup. CNN pointed out that although it may be high fashion, but it's seemingly racist. A few people were interviewed for the thoughts on the situation, one said that fashion is not political, another declared that they could have just gotten one of the many beautiful black models to do the shoot. What did Vogue Paris say concerning the issue? Nothing. CNN tried to get in contact with the influential magazine but they refused to comment on the situation. As for our opinion, Lara Stone is doing what she does best, and Steven Klein captures the vixen perfectly. Carine Roitfeld gave her readers exactly what they want every month, sexuality, shock, and awe. [TFS]

Iris and Karlie truly kick it up a notch in the July issue of US Vogue, bringing some sizzle and spice to the upcoming Fall season. We are confused as to whether we should look at their stunning faces, or the beautiful, lavish clothing. They really epitomize the Fall season and were perfectly chosen to do so, they both have unique faces just like the collections. 

British Vogue has a knack for doing editorials much like this one, but this one features "Sparkling and glassy gems and seductive footwear brings out the best in a simple dress." The editorial is British Vogue's way of helping you cope with the current economic crisis. You could have a simple Chanel shift dress, and totally change it up for day and for night, and this is what the editorial brings to the table. The editorial gives women a new way of dealing with the new look they like to call "modern pretty", mixing street-chic accessories with glamorous cocktail and body con dresses. But as great as the editorial is, I'm beginning to wonder if Teen Vogue is giving Vogue some of their cast-off shoots. I feel like i've seen this done before, but with a certain young Dolce & Gabbana favorite (Karlie Kloss). [TFS]

Usually in a shoot dedicated to displaying the seasons best "bling", the model never tends to command much attention. That's not the case with this shoot, on the contrary, Arlenis commands so much attention it's hard to pay attention to those Dolce & Gabbana gems. Michelangelo Di Battista not only captures Arlenis in the seasons best silks, knits and geometric shapes, but he also captured her beauty so perfectly his images could rival that of David Sims (I say this because Sims is the master of studio editorials). The shoot is created in such a way as to not have the reader bored to tears (Some studio edits tend to to just this), the chosen ensembles are chosen so meticulously it really evokes so much creativity that the designers have put into their clothing.
