manifest beauty
Goddess Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of September 2007 W. I dig the darker brows, the cornsilk mane, the dark roots, her icy blue eyes! Ah, Aphrodite would be jealous.

vogue italia's way or the highway
The Polish and Belarusian teams unite on the cover of August 2007 Vogue Italia. Magdalena Frackowiak and Maryna Linchuk definitely deliver on this cover, and the visual elements of the sky, the road, and the 18-wheeler complement the alabaster skin, quiff-pompadour hybrid, and the metallic jumpsuits. You can spot a Meisel cover ten feet away!
