Hop on Sam Riley‘s scooter because we’re going for a ride through time…back to when mod looks ruled on both coasts. Fashion editor Grace Coddington may have dug into her memory bank for this concept since she developed the stunning “My Generation” shoot for Vogue you see here. Photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott captured the insanely gorgeous Natalia Vodianova with dark haired actor Riley.

The editorial trails the duo as they make a speedy getaway up the coast for some canoodling and quality time. Unlike other beach shoots, I love how this editorial keeps both models clothed, while showing off fall coat trends. It is October after all and the beach stays beautiful year round (just gets a tad chilly). Keeping with autumn attire, how gorgeous is the green snakeskin coat Vodianova wears? If slithering styles aren’t your thing then you’ll probably appreciate this red Versace wool military jacket, which is perfect for windy scooter rides.

This technically may not be your generation, but you can peep the mod turned contemporary styles along with the rest of the editorial on MyFDB.

Naked, nude, in the buff, going commando…whatever you want to call it, it’s all happing in GQ British‘s September issue. In celebration of famed fashion photographer (and one of Kate Moss’ good friends) Mario Testino, the mag gathered together previously unseen photos of Natalia Vodianova, Claudia Schiffer, Lara Stone, Daria Werbowy, and more of his supermodel pals. And what do all of these gorgeous ladies have in common? They’re all (tastefully) showing off their beautiful physique. 

This fall marks three decades of Testino’s work in the industry, so it’s perfect timing for the release of these exclusive photos. His amazing photography skills continue to have that “wow” factor and as GQ so perfectly puts it, he is “almost as famous as the stars he shoots.”

See more of Mario Testino and the rest of this stunning editorial on MyFDB.

The campaign for Fall/Winter is less fruity and more formal. The images feature (a not so confused) Natalia Vodianova, who models for Stella McCartney regularly. The ads were taken by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

Last night model Natalia Vodianova and fashion designer Valentino Garavani hosted the “White Fairy Tale Love Ball” in France. The glamorous event was held at Valentino’s country home in France in support of Vodianova’s Naked Heart Foundation. The philanthropic organization helps underprivileged children in Russia.

Guests had to uphold to a dress code which consisted of outfits in silver and white. And of course, there was a fashion show which displayed an array of dresses donated by designers such as Christopher Kane and Riccardo Tisci. All of the proceeds went to the Naked Heart Foundation as the event raised over 2 million Euros. Check out the gallery below for more!

So there you have it…models sans makeup. While the majority are still gorgeous, it’s always fun to see them looking “normal” like us regular folk.

The lovely Arizona Muse and her son Nikko (who already has his own modeling portfolio) are one of the industry’s cutest model & son duos.

We adore Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr, who quickly bounced back after giving birth to her son Flynn. She recently tweeted this photo of her breastfeeding her son on set for a shoot…talk about dedication to work and family.

The statuesque Gisele Bunchen has a one year old son Benjamin, whom she posed with in an April 2010 shoot for Vogue. I hope Tom Brady is kickin’ off his Uggs to give his beautiful family a memorable Mother’s Day.

Natalia Vodianova has given birth to not one, but THREE kids…talk about being a supermom and supermodel! She posed with her three children for the cover of Russian Vogue in 2007.

Models or not, all moms are amazing in their own special way and MyFDB wishes a Happy Mother’s Day to all the spectacular moms out there!

Kristen McMenamy at Viktor & Rolf

Model, Kristen McMenamy (45) has graced the covers of Vogue Italia and Vogue Italia Couture and is frequently spotted on the catwalk. As is Elle Macpherson (46), who recently landed the cover of Tatler. Also, the poised Stella Tenant walked for Calvin Klein and is all over Balenciaga’s F/W ad campaign. This goes to show that these models are not only aging gracefully, they’re also continuing their career while reshaping the fashion industry’s age perspective.

The classic looks and lovely locks of Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova, and Karen Elson were photographed by Steven Meisel for Louis Vuitton‘s F/W ad campaign. There’s a retro feel to the shoot with vanity lights and bold patterned gowns courtesy of stylist, Karl Templer.  For a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how this campaign came together check out the video below. We LOVE it!
