This is essential reading, and has left me panting with excitement. Just the Steven Meisel profile by Jonathan Van Meter The Godfather is well worth the $8.90 price of May's Vogue, plus the cab fare to and from Kinokuniya. It's truly a rare treat. Now what is it about model girls that keeps me giddy with delight (everyone except Agyness)? What do you think of the cover? Where's Claudia, Stephanie, Shalom? This should keep people talking for a while I think. The story on Marc Jacobs, honorary chair of the Met's May "blockbuster" The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion at the Costume Institute tries hard to portray Mr Jacobs as some sort of fashion visionary, and fails. Try reading this patchy piece of typing. At best, Mr Jacobs is a moderately attractive gay man (argueable, I know) awash in LVMH euros. Won the lottery? Big time. Fashion talent? So seriously not it's not funny.

I was hoping you'd blog about this shelon! Ya how not to buy! I bought cos of both the Miesel story - the profile and the Natalia one! So do!
ReplyDeleteAiya! only we both so old school and struck model will like lah!
AND! Thank god no Ugyness on the cover!Even Rosie de palma deserve to be on the cover more than she does.
Btw, sorry owe you all those male hotness names... will send if i can figure out lah. Otherwise can u blog about Matvey leh!
i just read the Meisel profile online.. my god, he is far younger than i expected. i like how Coco describes him to be the "Godfather of all models"!
ReplyDeletewhat i don't get is the tagline "Models of the moment"? some of the choices are rather dubious but Anna seems to be working extra hard this year...
i always think Marc is more of a clever stylist rather than a visionary =x
ReplyDeleteRaquel! Isn't Natalia a little bit old hat to be on this cover.
ReplyDeleteShells: Yes, i loved the Natalia story especially the lauren hutton one and the verushka. The penelope tree one was not very convincing at all, in fact she looked like maria carla boscono in that. Oh and i LUVED the one as herself with the socks... it recalls the nastassia kinski portrait by avedon with the python i feel, with the white socks replacing the white cuff. fashion talk is so satisfying, no?
ReplyDeleteVogueite: Yes, the choices are indeed odd... does anna and liya deserve to be on the first panel? isn't jourdan dunn and lara more newsworthy? does isabelli belong to this group? shouldn't the cover have a looser crop? The closeups make it look like a l'oreal hair colour ad? The photoshopping isn't great either. I'm just grateful they didn't put agyness or coco on the cover.
ReplyDeleteand yes, the last couple of issues seemed abit more coherent.
adam: Anna loves Natalia because she married a count.
ReplyDeleteGive me Stephanie anytime! For realness!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love Stephanie... i think the spread in paris vogue this month is based on her, the one with Malgosia and the 'son' by the pool. i heart Malgosia.
