what makes you think irony is still so intricate for 'everyone'?, I would say it's the most recurrent.. whore of our time, especially in fashion publications ran by 80s/90s-obsessed editors who can't get past controversy, shock, dirt, and whatever was debatable and outrageous growing up with your post-war parents as their life-saver theme for an otherwise uninspired month that can't include the new shape or new names because you already covered that last month. sorry, but the intention and provocation as you called it is crystal clear in the story and far from challenging not even to the most conservative or anti-fur principles, there's nothing to 'get' other than the fact that Vogue and its editors are not particularly known for being the pioneers of wit and sense of humour.. not even for a good comeback on an organization that's become so vulnerable and irresistible to mock at.. this is just as dumb and simple-minded as the idiots parading and sneaking into fashion shows instead of spreading knowledge or generating questions in places of trascendence.

^i agree. provocation for the sake of provocation is boring. a middle finger to PETA... how original. the intention is so obvious that it's not even worth having an emotional response to.

[*ana*]

i agree that the provocation is pretty clear. i don't necessarily want something absolutely new and harder to understand in a fashion editorial though, i want beauty, a bit of sense of humor, good styling and good poses - and it seems, from what i've seen so far, that i'll get all of this from that ed. it just doesn't get much better than that in the other vogues, vogue italia used to be great but nowadays the furthest they go is eva mendes showing her boobs with her legs open. i think that if you're not going to be over innovative at least take nice pictures with good styling, it's 10 issues per year, they can't over innovate in each issue because they can't go too far, they need to sell. that's why i loved that ed. but of course, to each their own.

Who got Une Fille, Un Style this time?

[SnejanaIsMyMuse]

I have to agree with you Mulletproof.Peta members storm into runway shows ,create chaos and annoyance, ruin perfectly good pieces of clothing, and then complain how "No one takes them seriously".

The edit is just sort of redundant.It's good to have a message behind images, but the peta thing is just sort of played out.I would take a breathtakingly beautiful photograph over something trying too hard to be "controversial" anyday.

Yeah, sure the provocation and the outrageous arent something what testifies high spirituality, but don`t You think, what fashion isnt about that at all, fashion isnt even about art (and even art isnt high spiritual). Fashion is about business and money much more esp. at the moment. and provocation makes good sales. that`s all. and about not getting irony- didnt You read readers letters? esp. in W magazine- if no- do it right now and you`ll know opinions of general public...i have to say, that`s not progressive views at all...

I agree that this may not be amazingly orignal concept-wise, but as I've said before, what I look for - and what I get - when I open Vogue Paris is beauty, modernity and sex... This issue isn't an exception

Plus I think I&V have the ability to make anyone look their best... I love the colours, the poses, the moods in their pictures... Yes it's sometimes repetitive, and that's why you can say "I'm sure this was shot by I&V" but as a huge I&V fan, this is what I love about them

If I were a celebrity, I'd definitely want to be shot by I&V

I couln't agree more! I&V can do no wrong I'm my book.

Can't wait to get this issue. Everything seen so far looks good.

^ Hahaha I knew you would agree when I wrote it Team Inez&Vinoodh
