Brüno, the Austrian journalist a.k.a one of the many eccentrically wicked alter-egos of American comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, may be the biggest Austrian attraction for cinema go-ers this summer.

However, the limelight in the fashion world seems to fall upon a genuinely awesome Austrian: Iris Strubegger, who not only landed herself as a part of the Great Gothic Gang in Givenchy‘s Fall/Winter 2009 ad campaign, but also as the sole cover star of Vogue Nippon‘s stellar September issue.

Dressed in Ralph Lauren‘s classic high-sheen backless dress, the 25-year-old model not only appears extremely elegant on the cover photographed by Inez and Vinood

The August 2009 issue of Numéro Korea marks the very first anniversary of the Korean style magazine.

To celebrate the notable magazine‘s first birthday, Horst Diekgerdes photographed Estonian model Carmen Kass for the special occasion.

The result is a rather controversial cover.

As oppose to the usual glamour shot of the richest woman in Estonia, the pronounced photographer captures and shows an unconventional and above all, disturbingly distraught image of the Baltic beauty.

Styled by Samuel François, the 30-something year old appears somewhat haggard and wasted with her dark messy eyebrows, sickly pale skin tone and deadly zombie-like expression.

Unmistakably, this arouses an intense tug of war between li

Zuzana Gregorova, the sensational Slovakian model, has recently scored Piazza Sempione‘s Fall/Winter 2009/10 Ad campaign.

With her striking looks, she surely has every reason to.

For August 2009, the brilliant Bratislavan is once again in the limelight with a charming cover for Marie Claire Italia.

Photographed by Max Cardelli, the soon-to-be 20 year old is simply drop dead gorgeous!

The wardrobe is simple and sleek – Bottega Veneta’s pearl-white body-forming tailored shirt worn with cosmic earrings shot on a basic grey background.

The result is something out of the ordinary, as Ms. Gregorova‘s blue eyes sparkle astronomically on the cover and we focus upon her finesse features: from

Lisa Cant, the Canadian model, may not be modelling as much as she used to in her ”younger” years, because she is currently preoccupied with her studies at Columbia University in New York City.

However, that does not mean that we have forgotten her face nor her epigrammatic name.

We were absolutely enthralled to find her on the cover of Velvet magazine for its August 2009 issue.

Although the cover, photographed by Enrique Badulescu, shows only an obscure vision of the serious student‘s face – a quarter of it is covered by an undefined glittering object – we could clearly define her big doll eyes enhanced with a touch of glisten

It is not a myth and it can never be overly hyped: global warming has affected all little corners of the world and this includes fancy offices of fashionable organisations, such as Burberry Prorsum and Vogue Paris.

Would that possibly be the inspiration of this August 2009 cover from Vogue Paris?

Carine Roitfeld, the glamourous Editor-in-chief of the stylish fashion magazine, has chosen the Canadian model Daria Werbowy as the charming cover girl to display iconic French chic on the cover of this laid back issue.

Photographed by the incredible Inez and Vinoodh, Ms. Werbowy is dressed fittingly in Burberry‘s signature checked-patterned gear to combat the nasty unpredictable weather.

Sigrid Agren may possess a fresh angelic face that could turn heaven upside down.

But it is not her charmingly cherubic look that allowed her to score her first Vogue China cover.

For August 2009, Terry Tsiolis photographed the French rising star as a fiery tigress.

Samira Nasr styled the 18 year old model in a ferocious leopard-print one-shoulder column dress from Oscar de la Renta‘s Fall/Winter 2009/10 collection.

With such a savagely glamorous photograph, it is clear that the phenomenal beauty is proclaiming an Asian Invasion.

Ms. Agren is also featured in the issue in an editorial entitled ”C‘est Chic”. The editorial focuses on key looks with love fro
