Vogue Italia September 2011 Editorial: Biana Balti

A very telling observation of today's seemingly western lifestyle is shown in Vogue Italia's Editorial September Issue. A child is seen as taking care of a grown woman (looks more like her mom) in this shoot by Miles Aldridge. Bianca Balti, the model looks more like a mannequin in this shoot as she appears to have no personality of her own. But I see this as an artistic portrayal of the new concept of a mother's love in the post modern world.

Claudia Schiffer looks Oh-So-Stunning in this cover of August 2011 Issue, Vogue Germany, photographed by Miles Aldridge. I so totally love the idea behind this particular cover this time of the year. This may be my favorite Vogue Cover around the world for this year.
