I liked the previous Beyonce CRFB issue. It was chic…A bit contrived but chic.
Beyonce is an interesting case for me with fashion. She is a natural, timeless beauty. I think that Testino has perfectly captured that side of her.
Then, there’s another side, which is the performer that I think nobody has captured perfectly yet. Her connection to fashion comes from her stage presence. Her fashion icon status comes through that. Nobody cares about her off-stage looks. Her stylists do her wrong everytime anyway…
And so here, Carine missed the mark. Beyonce don’t have to be edgy.
Put her on the hottest looks of the season, have a fan on set, capture her in movement and there you go.
Carine needs to call Fabien Baron. Really or a seasoned Art Director. This magazine doesn’t have any ounce of vision.
So far, she can attract the biggest stars because of her connections but without top fashion talents, this is useless.
