after much finger tapping and wondering the august issue of paris vogue is here. but i'm afraid to say that i'm disappointed. maybe it's just that covers like this have spoilt us?
the cover is so overly airbrushed, that is seems to veering in the more classic direction of us vogue, and daria's editorial just seems a little disjointed, jolting from fantastic shots (see floor length fur coat with bikini) to questionable styling choices (the coulottes and heeled boots)
however, the emmanuelle alt-styled editorial seems to be more promising, with anna selezneva nonchalently strutting past the paris boutiques radiating lowkey glamour even in the candid style shots by terry richardson.
then just when i was feeling disappointed by the issue, the an interesting concept waltzes onto my screen..
the editorial featuring raquel zimmerman donning fur and being hounded by animal rights activists is a fantastic concept; it's editorials like this that sets paris vogue (not forgetting vogue italia) at the top of it's league. still, there are only two pictures so far from what I can see, so will have to wait for the real thing.
