{Editorialize} 'The Black Allure' Vogue Italia

Publication: Vogue ItaliaPhotographer: Emma SummertonStylist: Edward EnninfulModels: Ajak Deng, Arlenis Sosa Peña, Jourdan Dunn, Melodie Monrose, Joan Smalls, Mia Aminata Niaria, Chanel Iman, Georgie Baddiel, Sessilee Lopez, Kinee Diouf, Rose Cordero and Lais Ribeiro.

Why haven't I subscribed to Vogue Italia yet?? Their editorials never cease to amaze me and are well executed every single time-hats off to Edward Eninnful for the styling and Emma Summerton for the photography. They are not afraid to use a diverse selection of models and when they do it's always well done.

The 1920's African flapper girls in the Orient vibe I'm getting is inspirational, and different to what we normally see. Also, although I stan for Arlenis, Ajak is killing it in this spread; the bold colours and fluid fabrics pop well against her skin tone.

Strut LADY: H.H. Sheika Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned of Qatar

Qatar’s 1st(?)Lady, a wife of new Harrod’s owner Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, has been on my radar for a while now for all the right reasons. Why is she my Strut Lady? Her style is impeccable, she is not afraid of colour and carries herself with such poise and grace, that whilst some of what she wears might not be the first thing we’d choose off of a rail (google her and you’ll see an image of her in a green outfit on Bastille day), she pulls it off so well you fall in love with it.
And don’t let me start on her turbans, they make her look so regal I’m contemplating increasing my range of snoods, scarf and headwear so I can totally slay this winter!

Strut{t} Girl: Joan Smalls

Height: 5'10.5"Hair: BrownEyes:Brown


If I'm honest, I only noticed Joan Smalls this year when she walked for Burberry's Autumn/Winter show, so I was shocked to find out that she's been around for about 3 years now, and that I probably wouldn't have known who she was if she had not switched agencies (which was definately a good move seeing as she's now blown).






Very Flashdance 2010-I love it!

She's even managed to snag a place in the Gucci Pre-Fall campaign.

Strut{t} Girl: Barbara Palvin

My current model obsession is Barbara Palvin. She's pretty new in the game (even though she's been modelling for 3years) so there isn't that much information on her. What I do know is that this 17year old is going to be around for a long time, and knew so as soon as I saw her editorial for 'Jalouse' magazine. A mix between Natalia Vodianova and Kaya Scodelario (in my opinion anyways) this Hungarian is a possible supermodel in the making.
