Most models are at the disposal of a designer's vision, but there are a select few practically incapable of succumbing to it. And it's exactly what gets them booked. Judging by Chloe Nrgaard's performance this season – she walked forRodarte, Roksanda Ilincic,Moschino Cheap and Chic, PPQ, andAshley Williams at Fashion East –it won't be long before she's a mainstay in that cult clique. Actually, if Tumblr reblogs are anything to go by, she's the one leading it right now.

We dove headfirst into legendary 70s photographerWalter Pfeiffer's vivacious, colourful world, and met the celebrated feminine photographer/directorEllen von Unwerth, to speak about the erotic fantasy narratives of her personal project 'Do Not Disturb!'.
Our hugely popular Zine Watch series found the best in zine culture, bringing to light the tasteful food journal, The Gourmand,to the 62nd Floor'sartful nudity,Igor Termenon's titilatingGirls on Film, and thefive volume project, I Think We're Alone Now. Personal favourites included our meeting with the king of cut-up photography, John Stezaker, known for his manipulation of vintage images of forgotten film stars in bygone eras as he won theDeutsche Brse Photography Prize 2012 .
