the calendar is by .... TERRY RICHARDSON ... Are you happy, ASF ?

WOW by Mert&Marcus? I thought Testino shot her, thanks for the heads up though, glad you said the cover is beautiful.

should this be a special guest editor's issue or not?

review :

Une histoire simple by Mert & Marcus, styled by C. Roitfeld starring Stéphanie de Monaco
10p. b&w portraits ... the cover is beyond good ... the editorial is so-so

Cou de force by Thomas Lagrange, styled by Marie Pasquier
unkwn model because we don't see her face ... focus on an (voguish) "athletic" body wearing black bodysuits/swimsuits belted (MMM ...) and diamond necklaces

Stéphanie by Mario Testino, styled by Carine Roitfeld, starring Stéph' de Monac'
styling very Madame Roitfeld (short dress, zebra Givenghy highheels ....) on a monaco hotel terasse (sorry i don't know which one. but i guess some of you will know once they'll see the editorial)
the styling is good but Stéphanie doesn't look really good (looks very very tired)

Ouragan 80 by Peter Lindbergh, styled by E. Alt, starring Milla Jovovich
milla in a huge deserted factory (something à la Flash Dance or something) wearing jeans and perfecto (one is by Jeremy Scott for Schott. it's pink with Keith Harring grafitis on it. one other is python with blue graphic on it by Gucci ...) seriously ? not my favourite ....

Carrure de Culte by D. Sims, style by M.A. Sauvé, starring ???
amazing ! in the vein of all the David Sims recent story but in studio (though not jump-jump vogueUS-ish) tons of the SS09 LV and MJ items .... i love it ... and it should have been placed, IMO, before the E. Alt story

Beauty editorial :
Pulsions 80 by Max Farago, styled by Mélanie Huynh, starring : Siri (i think)

the issue is a total of 282p.
and really not their best guest edited issue, at all .... though i'm not sure it's Stéphanie's fault (honestly ....)

yes it's the guest-editor issue ...

on the cover it says "Par Stéphanie de Monaco" in red - honestly i repeat i really like the cover .... it's very "simple" and gorgeous .... and i now understand why it isn't a face portrait cover ..... if you know what i mean ...
seriously Stéphanie should get some rest .... (is that what we say when somebody need a long long sleep ?)
