CR Fashion Book #5 : Beyoncé by Pierre Debusschere

[Deleted member 1957]

looove it!! the ed is pure fierceness too

 

[Cosmic Voices]

I do like the cover, and the shot with her wearing the coat in the edit but idk. I feel like I've read so much about Beyonce, seen her literally everywhere, that there's nothing new she could possibly offer (for this year at least).

I just got my issue today, and I have to say it is absolutely stunning. the eds that have been released have NOTHING on the rest of the content.

I am really sorry to say this, but magazine is a trash can. With lack of good contributors, which is ovious due to their exclusive contract with Conde Nast and other mess going on with this scandalous story between Jonathan Newhouse and Carine: you may remember he cautioned photographers who are contracted to Condé Nast do not forget about their contracts and think twice before contribute to Roitfeld's new publication. It is related not only to exclusives (like Sims, Mert and Marcus), but just to contracts like Sorrenti, Mario Testino, Steven Klein and Terry Richardson for instance - they all working for V magazine from the same publishing house as CR. So the only good contributors left to her are Bruce Weber, Karl Lagerfeld and let`s say Tom Ford and dat`s not enought for bi-monthly publication, she is trying too hard to reveal new talents and push some photographers but let`s be honest, she havent ever been strong in this, she can discover new models but not photographers (remember this story with Mark Segal while he was even more regular in VP than Mario Testino, she pushed him way too hard, however i don`t think that it helps his career took off actually. All that`s going in her magazine novadays reminds me days of her work in ELLE France and hardly those glorious days of her free lance with Testino and starting of work in VP, when she was the best, most provocative, zeitgeist trendsetter creating fashion, style and desire to "buy it all from this picture"! Because, seriously, this is the only thing that matters in fashion and what all mags should be about - it`s evoking desire, selling a dream and clothes which accompanies.

Preach!

To be honest, CR Fashion Book and most of Carine's work for Bazaar have all left me cold. This is the best cover they have produced so far. You can really see how lackluster Carine's work have become without the right team (et al photographers). I'm sorry but none of those posted from the review above excites me.. even though I haven't even seen them yet. It just gets tiring

Hmm the Faces spread actually looks good

 

[LRlovesDaria]

The Faces lools classic.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Beyonce looks so great here.... what a wonderful cover! And the accompanying editorial is very well done too.

 

[fiqary]

Beyonce looks great. One of my favourite editorials from her.

And apparently Beyonce is the one that approached Carine saying she wants to be on the cover. Beyonce's power. haha

And Carine said that the cover is her proudest picture in her career.

I just got this issue the other day and I'm a little disappointed. The ads to content ratio is staggering.

Some Snaps:

"The Outsiders"






"Bedtime Stories"

Gigi can leave already. How does she even have time from the shootings of her mom's reality show? Love the Faces ed - I wish the images were bigger.
