This 1953 award winning advertisement for Vanity Fair is a truly beautiful and elegant. Photographer Mark Shaw does a superb job capturing the models in their flowing gowns. You even get the impression that some of the shots were pulled straight from Ancient Greece or Rome.
If you ever have trouble figuring out what your child is drawing, you should employ the services of Garrett Miller.

If you haven't seen these animated gifs by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg yet, you are in for a treat. These aren't your run of the mill early 90's gifs, they're more aptly called cinemagraphs by their creators.The idea for cinegraphs came up when the pair was preparing for Fashion Week.

For more details about these awesome images, read the articles on Gawker and My Modern Metropolis. Don't forget to check out the rest of their amazing work on Tumblr.
