Naomi Campbell Scares Us (In a Good Way) in Vogue Italia's Behind-the-Scenes Cover Video

The February issue of Vogue Italia is here! Naomi Campbell smizes, dons several wigs, and gives full-on blue steel–while her voice-over talks in a creepy, stream-of-conscious way about snakes, and having no face, among other things.

The February issue of Vogue Italia--titled 'About Women'--hits newsstands tomorrow, covered by the one and only Naomi Campbell.

We wouldn't exactly call it a comeback--because, really, Campbell hasn't gone anywhere--but it's been decades since she scored a solo Vogue Italia cover (though she's shared a few covers over the years), and thanks to her new show The Face, she's definitely been getting a lot more attention recently. So let's just say she's really having a moment.

The cover has a moody feel thanks to Steven Meisel's sepia tinted photography--and it gets a whole lot darker and weirder when you watch the behind-the-scenes video, below.

Marquita Pring Chronicles Her Shoot for Vogue Italia's Groundbreaking Curves Spread

Marquita Pring, Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley--all "plus" size models--are the stars of Vogue Italia's June issue. Whereas Pring was once relegated to Vogue Italia's "curves" section online, this month she's just another model in a smoldering black and white 10-page Elizabeth Taylor-inspired editorial for the mag shot by Steven Meisel. Tara Lynn, Candice Huffine and Robyn Lawley grace the cover. "Never before have four curvier girls been in a spread shot by Steven Meisel with no specific purpose at all," Pring said. "No size issue, no color issue. Just beautiful, normal Italian Vogue." Pring kept a diary during the two-day shoot. She chronicled everything--her nerves, emotions, the clothes, the makeup (the makeup artist uses what she calls the "Naomi kit" on Marquita which is usually used for Naomi Campbell), and how it felt to get naked for Steven Meisel--minute by minute. The shoot, Pring says, was "one of the most incredible experiences of my career/life." But she almost missed out on it.
