THE NEW GIVENCHY GIRL IN TOWN // DANIELA BRAGA

 Daniela Braga is the girl to keep an eye on this season. After a Givenchy exclusive last season in Paris and rumors of landing the label’s much coveted ad campaign shot last month by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, this 20-year-old São Paulo native should be in every casting director’s list.

FASHION MERMAID'S // JAPAN VOGUE

The Master stylist Lori Goldstein takes statement pieces from each collection and weaves them together to create a spectacular showcase for Saskia de Brauw in Patrick Demarchelier‘s atmospheric Vogue Japan story. Aquatic references were a big part of what made the several recent collections magical. Think back to Chanel’s dreamy mermaid inspired S/S 12 collection, or the equally alluring scuba jackets from Balenciaga that season, even Donatella Versace went underwater for spring and though each designer was cribbing from the same source material, the ideas they created were wildly different.

The Versace gown with strategically placed star fish, the embellished Max Kibardin shoes that look like coral, the plastic paillette covered Vuitton dress that glitters like a fish’s scales; every piece chosen works perfectly. Hats off to Goldstein for giving us this festive fashion fantasy.

LOVE MAGAZINE // THE ORIGIN OF THE MONSTERS

Love Magazine‘s imaginative and raw Tim Walker story, ‘The Origin of Monsters’ featuring Kristen McMenamy. Arachnophobes might want to skip this one, but everyone else can enjoy the spooky mix of oversized insects and a host of prime pieces with unusual origins chosen by Katie Grand. There is some vintage Dior couture (you may remember the golden armor from 2006) a couple of chain mail headdresses from the Royal National Theater and of course the edgy editorial prerequisite, Alexander McQueen. It might be too early to start picking 2012′s best stories, but Kristen as an otherworldly, monster slayer certainly qualifies as a standout.
