In this day and age of digital, it feels like pretty much anyone can pick up a camera (or an iPhone) and be a photographer. Between street style blogs and independent publications, there is a seemingly endless stream of opportunities for an aspiring fashion photographer. But opportunities that pay? Much fewer and far between. How does one get to be the next the next Mario Testino or Arthur Elgort? Enter Bottega Veneta's "New Exposure" photography competition.

New blog Part Nouveau, or ‘partly new’, delves into fashion history to showcase the inspiration–be it art, photography or design–behind some of today’s biggest fashion moments.

Who better to capture fashion's surrealist moment in W than Tilda Swinton, stylist Jacob K, and photographer Tim Walker?

Jersey Shore might be over, but that apparently doesn't mean seeing any less of J.Woww: The MTV star flashed a bit too much of herself at the network's New Year's show. {HuffPo} On Tumblr, 23-year-old Zara employee Francis Phommisai combines fashion editorials with Pokémon--and the results are kind of amazing. {Daily Beast} Crystal Harris finally wed her Playboy honey Hugh Hefner in a pink gown, which makes us wonder if this trend is finally over. {US Weekly} Meghan Collison goes under the sea for Mulberry’s spring campaign, shot by Tim Walker. {WWD}

When W started planning a tribute to fashion originals for its 40th anniversary issue, it obviously looked to the fashion original, the legendary fashion editor Anna Piaggi. The mag dispatched photographer Tim Walker to Milan to photograph Anna, just one month before she passed away at 81 years old. The final results are a stunning reminder of Piaggi's inimitable style.

As WWD reported back in October, Karl Lagerfeld shot Arizona Muse in Rome for Fendi's spring 2012 ad campaign, the first image of which appeared thi

It happens every year: Our ever-growing pile of fashion magazines inches higher with each passing month, and by the time December rolls around, we can barely sift through the hundreds of stylish images we bookmarked for inspiration. 2011 was no exception, and in a year that celebrated retro supermodels, androgyny, vivid colors, and plenty of experimentation in the beauty department, choosing our favorites was particularly difficult. The best editorials of the year ran the gamut from huge ensemble casts of blue-chip models styled by greats like Katie Grand and Carine Roitfeld, to intimate, one-on-one portraits of our favorite girls like Lindsey Wixson and Daria Werbowy. The acid brights that dominated the spring collections allowed for some pretty trippy trend stories last season, but the fall glossies featured much moodier imagery, with a number of gorgeous spreads in black and white. Here are the editorials from 2011 that will stay tacked up on our walls and fill our inspiration boards well into the new year—and beyond.

Storms, like the one that's currently headed for New York and just cancelled my Montauk trip, can be scary and sometimes even dangerous, so everyone be careful this weekend! That being said, they can also make for intriguing backdrops and themes in fashion editorials and ad campaigns. You'd be hard-pressed to find an Annie Leibovitz-lensed photograph that takes place outdoors without some ominous-looking clouds. Somehow, they can make any subject look so much more captivating and dramatic. So, on this rainy, gloomy day, we've decided to round up some of our favorite storm-inspired fashion photographs. Enjoy and please be safe!

This is one W cover we can get behind. W, like many glossies, has reported disappointing sales lately and while we're not sure exactly what Tilda Swinton's selling power is, we are always in support of her covering a magazine. Not to mention collaborating on a whole spread shot in Iceland with photographer Tim Walker. In "Planet Tilda," up now on Wmagazine.com (along with a really cool video), the actress and Pringle of Scotland campaign star discusses how she got into fashion and her own style icons, which include David Bowie and her own father. She refers to the two of them as her "aesthetic North Stars,” and "the individuals with whom I share the same planetary DNA.” Read more here and check out the full spread below. It's kind of insane.
