Vogue Paris December 2008 / January 2009 : Stéphanie de Monaco by Mert & Marcus

.. what some people feel strongly about

I think (correct me if I am wrong please) what BerlinRocks was trying to say was, there must be a greater intrest (to see cover, content, models, e.t.c) with TFS members with Vogue Paris, rather than Vogue Russia.
That was just how I interpreted it anyway..

[Beckham18]

berlinrocks Thank you for the scans in 188 -189 .Looks great

Stephanie eds looks good, but I hate that 80's vibe looks. It feels like ages to see that kind of styling.

This issue is a tremendous dissappointment to me, from the cover, and its subject to the contents, its just nothing that interests me, it fails totally to get me to buy the magazine, in fact this is the first time ever in my life when i will rather buy American Vogue instead of Paris.And i am pretty sure if this was US Vogue's cover there would be tons of criticism..........

I don't think Berlin has anything against negative (constructiv) criticism, he just doesn't like his opinions being interpreted in the wrong way, which I can understand

As for WhiteLinen, every time I see a post of hers, it's a rant about how bad everything is, so I understand that some people have grown tired of it...

And about the "I'm sure if it was US Vogue's cover there would be tons of criticism" thing... Come on Miss Dalloway, I may not always agree with you but I think you make good points most of the times, you're better than that kind of silly argument Plus how could this be Vogue US? Where is the boring styling? Cheesy smile? Text overload?

such a beautiful athletic body on swimsuit/jewelry story
hope someone scan it, even without a face that looks so good.

and about the calendar: me, personally, im not a fan (not pin-up nor even these photos fan), but i think its a very good idea and same thing with execution. pin-up theme, not vulgar, but very nice and sexy, not really often in the last time (i remember only Ellen Von Unwerth who used that theme a lot, but it was a while ago already), plus good styling, plus good photos (not porn, i sould remind every Terry Richardson-hater) and plus only new girls, most of them hasnt ever been in Vogue Paris and, finally, its a calendar so it should be on the wall like a pin-up.

It couldnt be US Vogue i know, but sometimes i do feel like there is this "they can't do no wrong" attitude toward VP that some have mentioned in the past.This year i have been loving VP most out of all editions, but wont be buying this issue because i expected more from "guest editor" double one, just call me bitter.

Oh I know I have a VP bias, and I can sometimes LOVE something I would only find alright in another Vogue edition, but that's because for me Vogue Paris isn't a series of editorials + a cover, each issue is a whole, and each ed/model/concept interacts with the rest of the issue...
And I totally understand it is a let down for some people, I'm not questioning the fact that you don't like it, I just thought you took the easy road of criticism in your last comment But it's all good, I know where you're coming from

[RachelleChar]

wow the jacket in #213 is amazing!! TDF.

[tigerrouge]

Stephanie looks good, still got the athletic physique I remember her for.

I do find I judge the Dec-Jan issue much more harshly than most issues, because it's guest-edited and has to last two months, so I expect something special - especially when you have other Vogues creating showcase editorials or entire themes for their December issues, and then their January issues come out. Ne soyez pas paresseux, Paris Vogue.

Stephanie does indeed look good. That's why I just can't wait for her editorials, especially the one shot by Mario Testino, I loved the two pics that BerlinRocks posted in the preview.
