US Elle October 2009 : Victoria Beckham by Tom Munro

[Franzy]

I was thinking of buying this but after seeing that ed, I think I'll just wait for the back issue.

^ Agree! Booksale may have the subscribers cover...

The Kanye West styled ed is horrendous. Can't believe Dusan Reljin shot it.

[MON]

^ same thoughts! Complete waste of paper, fashion, ink and art!

At the same time, when fashion magazines are full of people (and not just models) in total nudity and pseudo-pornographic poses, what's so different about Amber? Is it because she's got meat on her bones? Is it the styling? Is it the association with the other magazines she's worked for? Is she somehow too low-rent to be allowed to appear in Elle?

I think they could have a lot more with her, so I'm not fond of the editorial, they're not saying anything new about the girl, nor showcasing her own look at its best. The last shot is the only interesting one, for me.

For me the problem is not in her per se, its in how she was styled and presented in the ed, i know she is very sexual with her style and look, but they could have done something different with her for a fashion magazine.She has done this for lads mags before, we all seen her arse, so why not make beautiful photographs of her? Bascially what you said in the bolded part, i agree with.

[MON]

^ Agreed! I also believe that it's not Amber, it's the way they styled her and the way they projected her

[Luxx]

Maybe I'm just in the dark here but I'm not seeing what is gross about the Amber Rose story. Save the last rather gratuitous shot of her ample posterior there isn't anything wrong with it. I quite like the pictures of her with the jeweled cowl - those are the best of the bunch.

[Miss Dalloway]

^She is definitley not gross to me either, she has a fantastic figure, and a unique look, but i can see why some might find her to much for their taste, particularly in shots like this.

Amber Rose maybe a wrong choice for Elle, but she has certainly heated it up a bit.

[ForChicSake]
