This sizzling fashion story ‘Life of the Party’ is yet another example of just how dull fashion photography has become in recent years. The Allure Magazine Digital December 2012 presentation is straight out of Vogue Paris under EIC Carine Roitfeld, who stepped down in January 2011.

It’s accurate to say that magazines were never the same after the highly-influential editrix departed Vogue Paris. Many have said Carine pushed the envelope too far with a very young model playing dress-up, with mom on the holiday issue set.

Carine insisted it was time for her to go and it’s best to leave, when you are top of your game. Unlike so many people in fashion, Roitfeld has kept her mouth shut for almost 15 years, and so has everyone else who knows the backstory.

In this fabulously sexy Allure Magazine holiday fashion treat, Paul Cavaco styles this outstanding flock of fashion’s most talented and beautiful models. Yes, that IS Karlie Kloss burning up the Internet in images by Mario Testino.

The roster of beautiful people includes Brad Koenig, Catherine McNeil, Constance Jablonski, Dave Genat, Doutzen Kroes, Edita Vilkeviciute, Isaac Weber, Isabeli Fontana, Izabel Goulart, Karlie Kloss, Lauren Hutton, Linda Evangelista, Marcus Schenkenberg, Madja Bender, Nyasha Matonhodze, Shaun De Wet and Sui He.

Hair stylists included Christiaan, Oribe, and Orlando Pita with makeup by Dotti and James Kaliardos.
