Vogue Paris February 2008 : Kate Moss & Naomi Campbell by Mario Testino

[tigerrouge]

I bought this the other day and found it to be yet another lacklustre issue, and I'd have more sour things to say about spending a fiver on it, if I hadn't won £100 later that day. French Vogue automatically gets my respect in a way that most magazines don't, even when it's producing content that, to me, is underpar, but March had better be stunning.

I did like the idea of the theme of 'bad girls' but in no way was that creatively explored. Dressing Isabeli up as Amy Winehouse is easy, seeing as the singer is a walking cartoon of visual exaggeration - what was the editorial supposed to be saying? What was supposed to be its special edge? The Kate & Omi cover and editorial sent me to sleep - so much for these legendary hellraisers - and there seemed to be other edits that were edgy for the sake of it, with a Natasha Poly series that looked great, because glamour is always gorgeous to behold, with the wry twist of the 'Ana Nicole' storyline.

Can Paris Vogue please just get back to being erotic, that's all I ask.

This is an outstanding editorial. Daring and with a great sense of humour. Both Natasha and this gentleman play their roles perfectly.

A favour to ask of anyone who has this issue and will be tossing it-If so, would you tear the page out with the Courtney Love photos and mail it to me? I'll send you something, or pay for shipping...I just dont want to spend almost $20 on this for three photographs. Anyone?

Tigerrouge,as always you said it;i completly agree with you.Was not impressed with this issue at all,in fact the previous one left me equally cold.Paris Vogue had a very bad year imo,2007 was not good at all,Carine et co. are getting fastly overrated.
