Since fleeing her frosty home of Latvia, first-name-only Danguole has apparently found Latin love, posing for the Italian editions of Elle, Amica and Marie Claire. No surprise, really, considering the Baltic beauty (and, by the way, spelling bee champion) was discovered in the warm air of a plant nursery.

Chinese charmer Anna Wang turns heads wherever she goes, especially back home, where she's graced the cover of Chinese Vogue three times and Elle no fewer than twenty. In all, we're talking 130 covers. Look for the young mother in the latest Australian Vogue and the new Maybelline ads. Maybe she's born with it...

Hint Shop If Rad Hourani were writing this blurb, it would be over already. That's because, for the soon-to-explode French-Canadian designer, it's all about extreme minimalism. Thus, the concept behind this one-size-fits-all, unisex, sleeveless T-shirt—printed with the dates and times of a calendar—is that it can be worn by anyone, anytime.
Shoptart 01, 22, 16. Nope, it’s not bingo night; it's the numerical filing system at Maison Martin Margiela. Adding to the mathematical fun is a new line of fine jewelry in absurdist proportions and scale. Also this month: Comme de Garçons for H&M, Louis Vuitton and more. By Franklin Melendez
