A Super High-Kick Trend

Is everyone on a kickboxing wave right now? Just in the span of a month there have been at least three editorials with models doing their best Jackie Chan high kicks.

Claudia Schiffer graces on of the covers of V Magazine’s Swimsuit issue, kicking her Yves Saint Laurent cage boots way higher than most are able. The image is reused inside with her posing in a black bikini. 

Inside of the iconic May 2009 issue of Vogue, Gisele Bündchen opens the spread, “Kicking It,” shot by Norma Jean Roy. In an amazing gold jumpsuit, her legs span the double-page spread.

For Vogue Paris’s May 2009 issue, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin capture Daria Werbowy fighting in “Game Girl” against a variety of boys, including Josh “the Baby-Faced Assassin” Barnett, a heavyweight MMA fighter.

So will there be a resurgence of those Billy Blanks tapes now?
