L'Uomo Vogue July/August 2009 : Ed Ruscha by Mark Seliger

As the translation said:

When an artist like Ed Ruscha, symbol and contemporary pop icon is the game style dressed and disguised as Monaco or pirate-jedi-punk is clear that this is a great personality. According to him the creative process is not a perfect science (but a blind fate) and even the clothes of the collection Prada autumn / winter 2009/10 become material for an extemporaneous performance.

It is the perfect example to explain what this number. A collection of stories about unique characters, a journey nell'eccentrico not only apparent but also mental. Ideas, projects, ways of living that are out of the common perception that sometimes seem strange or at least unattainable. Seem, because they, the protagonists of these pages, they were made. Who? Richard Branson, who turns into reality every crazy idea, Hunt Slonem, who goes berserk if you do not have a house from 89 rooms to its collections and its impossible aviaries, Alex Sainsbury, English 100%, who believed in the existence of a non-profit gallery after inaugurating renovated and reopened Raven Row, London.

But style and aesthetic elegance absolute extreme and extreme as to become almost custom. Word of Sebastian Horsley, the only real dandy of England, which runs as high tube and clothes tailor made. And Antony Hegarty, who has transformed his life in a symphony of elegance. But not limited to, the eastern and decadent beauty of Hidetoshi Nakata, a player now given time to play fashion. Then a young performer named pompous and bizarre apparent (as a hermit beard and long hair helmet), Julius von Bismarck, creates havoc with his "Image Fulgurator", a kind of camera that instead of portraying projected phrases light of controversy and complaint when another flash is on.

On the cover of L'Uomo Vogue, No 402, July-August 2009 (Ed Ruscha wearing coat with hood and shirt, Prada; chain Erickson Beamon; And_i eye patch).

[BerlinRocks]

not really liking the cover image. prefer the profile one.
this ressembles a lot of recent Uomo Vogue covers !!!

did Uomo Vogue turn to be an art magazine ?
Bought the previous one - Venezia Biennal promotion issue ...
Not sure I'll buy this one !
Though Mike Tyson's paper interests me ... (i know, sounds weird !)

The cover shot makes him look like an actor from an old Hammer Horror movie - he's in charge of accusing women of witchery and burning them at the stake.

I'm not crazy about the cover, but I'm such a HUGE Ed Ruscha fan...I'm excited to see the contents.

i've already said this in the last issue's thread, but let me drop my two cents again. i just love this retrograde feel about the L'Uomo Vogue design (cover choices included). there's something very serious about it, but with a twist - something i feel very right for a men's publication (not to be sexist or anything here...)
