>> The single-model issue concept is picking up steam, and it's only logical that Naomi Campbell, newly a Russian resident, should have an entire issue of Vogue Russia. Editor Aliona Doletskaya says of the April 2010 issue, which is dedicated to Naomi and which the model helped edit [Editor's note: loosely translated from Russian]: "I wanted to debunk a few myths surrounding Naomi. When I suggested the concept, she immediately came and for an hour and a half laid out stories, photography, interviews and other sections. Clearly, quickly, and in a businesslike manner."

In the issue, out March 25, Christian Louboutin, Chanel Iman, Claudia Schiffer, Mario Testino, and more were prompted to ask Naomi what they have previously hesistated to ask her. Steven Meisel, Tom Munro, Matt Irwin, and Solve Sundsbo photographed the model's editorials.

>> BLOWING THE COVER -A red swim cap makes its way onto two Vogue covers for November 2008: Vanessa Paradis in Miu Miu - since she is their Fall 2008 campaign girl - for Vogue Paris by Miu Miu campaign photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and Alana Zimmer by Tom Munro for Russian Vogue. Vogue Paris's next issue is their December/January issue, which always has a fun guest editor - Kate Moss, John Galliano, Charlotte Gainsbourg - but no announcement yet. It has to come soon, right?

>> When you take the sixties and the nineties and mix them up together, what do you get? This fantastic Qui etes vous, Polly Magoo?/Smells Like Teen Spirit reprise starring Jessica Stam, photographed by Tom Munro for the November 2006 Vogue Italia. I'm always a fan of the vivid black and white photo, and Stam posing with her mile-high Barbie doll ponytail throws me over the top.
Notice the combat boots -- word is your favorite ol' grungy Doc Martens are trying to make a comeback. I'm loving them paired with a very feminine chiffon dress, a look that's been seared into my brain ever since I saw the movie Brick last summer and one of the characters wears a pink tutu with untied Docs. Perfect contrast for a modern look.
