Many of us have a fashion icon that we look up to in some way or other. Sometimes its lusting over their hair, sometimes we want their eyes (not literally) and other times we wish we had their figures.

Love Magazine obviously agrees with us because for its third bi-annual edition its created eight different covers each showing a different model, who are claimed to represent our ideal of beauty in the fashion industry.

The models shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott include Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lara Stone, Jeneil Williams, Amber Valletta, Daria Werbowy, Kristen Mcmenamy and Natalia Vodianova.

Katie Grand, editor-in-chief at Love, told Vogue: “For this issue of LOVE, we took eight women who are generally acknowledged as the most beautiful in the world, got them to show off their bodies – widely regarded as the most perfect in the world – and photographed them all in exactly the same position for the cover.

“We did this to show how much they differed physically from one another, which is why we also printed their measurements.”

The magazine hits news shelves on 8 February.

It is another nod to Madonna, with a hint of Gwen Stefani in this latest cover for V magazine, starring Cameron Diaz. The actress steps out of comfort-zone for an edgy photo-shoot taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Reminiscent of Madge’s iconic True Blue phase, Cam experiments with short peroxide hair, fake tattoos and cone bra fashioned out of gaffer tape.

Kate Moss is no longer a solo flyer for Longchamp. Last season she was thrown together with the very handsome Gaspard Ulliel, and now she has been joined by Sasha Pivovarova for the brand’s spring/summer ’09 campaign. Colourfully captured by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the duo appear to mirror each other with matching blonde choppy hair, sharp cheekbones, and perfect pouts. You’d hardly guess there was an 11-year gap in their ages, would you?

Check out another picture after the jump.

Catwalk Queen‘s Kimberley Foster writes…

The major celebrity ad campaigns look set to continue with rumours that Scarlett Johansson has landed a beauty deal with Dolce & Gabbana.

Style File claims that not only has the newly-wed actress landed the campaign, she has already shot it with Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

No word yet on what D&G product Johansson could be representing, although the brand is about to launch a makeup line next month. She has been seen on multiple occasions wearing the designers’ clothes, as well as accompanying Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce to this year’s Met Costume Institute gala.

If true, Scarlett will finish off the celeb campaign trifecta, joining Louis Vuitton’s new star, Madonna and Katie Holmes, the latest face of Miu Miu.

What do you think of this pairing?
