And also I'm glad cover isn't shot by I&V at this time.
Mert & Marcus shot some good covers for this September (W, now this). And last VP September was shot by them too.
This is a interminably boring issue compared to past September issues. Nothing about the content excites me. And I'm so sick of Lara at the moment. Is she the only 'sexy' model out there?!
A new look for Lara! I'm in love. The roster of models is stale, yes, but the editorials look promising. I have not been this excited for an issue of VP in some time.
Gloria

Put On A Happy Face

Diane K

Blondie

Jane how and A. McLellan is kind of surprising in VP ...
is that Jane How first appearance in VP ???
Coz I can't tell !
* again Blondie is kind of tiring ... but she's the 80s iconic reference of the moment, i guess *
What's going on in VP offices ?
Next is Panos ? Yes Carine ... C'mone Please ! Just try a shot with a Givenchy spread for instance ...
And for a september issue I'm kind of disappointed by the amount of editorials.
I don't know why I wanted more ...
Anyway ...
that's an incredible transformation!, .. she looks like natalie portman with someone else's lips, really demure and yet still very powerful. i love the old fashioned sultriness to it.. i think it's an excellent cover, for once something that looks 'new' (what's old is new again i guess..) and truly different.. i didn't realise her versatility until i saw this picture, and actually i think this really suits her. it's nice to see her veer away from the obvious sexpot shtick.
I very much agree with everything you say. This is the first time I am really interested in her. I still cant believe that's her.
Another VP I will need.
Edit:too bad the other eds have one with Poly. I just dont like something about her. LOVE Selezneva though!

There's also Tao Okamoto inside, for the jewelry part... a wonder, love this girl!
Julia Stegner for the beauty pics
and Laura Blokhina again, for the "en Vogue" part...
Just look if there's new ad, but i don't follow every ads this season so i'm not sure about it...!
