Now that everyone's lives are somewhat back to normal (read: Fashion Month is over), perhaps we'll all have a little extra time to thumb through some of the stunning November 2012 issues of our favorite magazines.

This month's selection of images runs the gamut from colorful and sparkly, like Taylor Swift on the cover of Glamour, to clean, spare, and high-end — Aymeline Valade's cover of Vogue Japan, on which she wears a piece from Raf Simons's debut couture collection for Christian Dior, is a perfect example.

A look at all the covers revealed thus far here, in the gallery.

>> Back at the end of October, Catherine McNeil's agency sent out pictures of her hair cropped and dyed black, but that look is nowhere to be seen on her latest cover turn, for Vogue Australia's February 2011 issue. McNeil is a cover favorite for the magazine — she last appeared on Vogue Australia's September 2010 cover — making this one her second in six months.  [TFS]

Extreme Model Dye Jobs — Catherine McNeil Goes Black, Ajak Deng Goes Blonde

>> There have been rumors circulating that Catherine McNeil had changed up her hair in a big way, and now her agency Next has released the first photos of McNeil's new black bob (a couple more here), adding that it was cut and colored by "a friend." Frockwriter thinks that statement might be code for it having been done on a recent yet-to-be-released job; it's not rare for a model to have her hair changed for a shoot: Abbey Lee Kershaw's was cut to shoulder-length by Chanel for the Fall 2010 ad campaign.

That exact thing also happened to Ajak Deng, who recently went blond after encouragement from Jimmy Paul and Edward Enninful. “They dyed my hair for Italian Vogue, but everyone seems to like it, so I think I’m going to keep it like this for a while! It was a little shocking,” she told Modelinia. “I was crying, but now I’m trying to rock my new hair!”

Spring 2011 New York Fashion Week: Ohne Titel

Ohne Titel's Floral Gill and Alexa Adams Are Feeling Alaia-Like Knit Skirts and Neoprene Tops for Spring 2011

>> Flora Gill and Alexa Adams say that their Fall 2010 collection resulted in a 300 percent jump in sales for Ohne Titel, but they're still attracting the art fashion crowd that has been with them from the beginning: pre-show, Cecilia Dean, wearing an Ohne Titel dress, tucked away a bicycle helmet into her bag, while Olivier Zahm arrived half an hour late — just after a curtain was dropped at the entrance — still stuffing change from a cab ride into his pocket.

>> Flora Gill and Alexa Adams say that their Fall 2010 collection resulted in a 300 percent jump in sales for Ohne Titel, but they're still attracting the art fashion crowd that has been with them from the beginning: pre-show, Cecilia Dean, wearing an Ohne Titel dress, tucked away a bicycle helmet into her bag, while Olivier Zahm arrived half an hour late — just after a curtain was dropped at the entrance — still stuffing change from a cab ride into his pocket. Carine Roitfeld, who's attended the past couple of seasons, was nowhere to be seen, however (It seems she had not yet arrived, as she was first spotted this morning at Derek Lam).

For Spring, Gill and Adams were inspired by the Japanese woodblock artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi — thanks to a Japan Society exhibit earlier this year — and sent out neoprene tanks (which will apparently be special order-only), Alaia-esque knit dresses with flared skirts, and oversized tailored vests, all on a womanly cast of models: Catherine McNeil, who opened, Cameron Russell in her first and only appearance so far this week, Emanuela de Paula (who hasn't walked a Fashion Week since Fall 2007), and Lakshmi Menon among them. The designers, who collaborated with the artist Tauba Auerbach on lucite and elastic-banded jewelry — marking her first time as a jeweler — also premiered their first handbags.

Jason Wu Debuts Shoes, Bags, and an Owl Logo Alongside Collection for Spring 2011

>> After only sleeping "two or three hours" over the course of the past "literally three days," Jason Wu debuted an "old Hollywood glamour"-inspired footwear and handbag collection — firsts for the brand — alongside his collection today. The designer also introduced a new logo in his show notes, a small owl named Miss Wu, which will be attached to all of his designs — see her here. Wu explained the choice of an owl as thus: "It's a very fashion thing to do to stay up all night, just like Miss Wu," referring to his recent late nights.

Diane Kruger rushed over from the FIT Couture Council luncheon honoring Karl Lagerfeld to sit front row (where Desiree Rogers, too, occupied a seat) as Joan Smalls led the regalia down the runway, followed by Catherine McNeil. "I was thinking about how to evolve and make luxurious versions of what we have already seen," Wu said of the collection, crediting Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes as his source of color inspiration. "I always start with color. I don't even know what my story is without it." In Wu tradition, there were frothy printed dresses, gowns embellished with hand-painted fabric flowers, and Karlie Kloss closed out the show — this time wearing a pink fuchsia gown.

There's nothing more enticing than a sexy vintage vixen, and who better to show off that notion than Aussie hottie Catherine McNeil. For Vogue Australia's September issue, McNeil played the star in a throwback spread dubbed "Pretty Baby" by Max Doyle. Inspired by the '50s, McNeil gave us a heavy dose of sultry old-school style with a modern twist wearing leopard print corsets, plaid skirts, cropped leather pants, and creepers from designers such as Givenchy, Christopher Kane, Louis Vuitton, and The Row. All we need are some rockabilly tunes, and we're set!

For Fall '10, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci decided to stir the pot by featuring a transgender model in his ad campaign. Joining the top model ranks with Mariacarla Boscono, Joan Smalls, Ming Xi, Catherine McNeil, and Malgosia Bela — we love her pink hair — is Riccardo's personal assistant, Lea T. (previously known as Leo, here in the red lips). "She’s always been very feminine: superfragile, very aristocratic," said Tisci, who also noted Lea T. will be starting a new career in veterinary medicine in Milan. What are your thoughts on this feminine-masculine dichotomy?

She’s part of the family." The ads were shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in a Paris studio.

If Miuccia Prada started things off in Milan with her collection celebrating the curvaceous, full-hipped woman, then Marc Jacobs' And God Created Woman show yesterday for Louis Vuitton cemented the movement—boobs are back.

Both designers used fuller-than-the-average-runway-model women this season (as did Giles Deacon), looking to Victoria's Secret girls like Laetitia Casta and Bar Rafaeli, recent mothers Adriana Lim and Karolina Kurkova, and supermodel Elle Macpherson to fill out skirted sundresses, low-cut scoopnecks, and halter top bustiers.

“Designers are always saying they’re going to do a collection for women, but then every girl on the runway is under twenty,” Marc Jacobs said of his decision to cast a variety of ages and sizes for his fall 2010 Louis Vuitton show. “It’s a bit old-fashioned, I know, but I think it’s nice for a change.”
