When it comes to magazine swimwear photoshoots, we're usually subjected to the same, rehashed concepts: A languid, passive model lying on a beach or propped on a river rock. Not in Paris Vogue.

The "Game Girl" layout in the May issue — shot by Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, whose work we have gushed over before, features tableaux of Daria Werbowy "beating up" guys in the desert. It's a little Death Proof and Thelma & Louise and kinda silly, but also unexpected and visually arresting.
