French Revue de Modes F/W 2005 by Thierry le Goues

[Dragonfly_CQ]

Has anyone bought the FW 2005 issue of French magazine (with multiple covers)? There are apparently very nice covers with Anja Rubik and Polina Kouklina - among others, but I would also be very interested to know more about the editorials inside this issue...

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for this preview! This is Anja Rubik, isn't it? Very nice shot.

If you find more info, please post it.

Thanks for the info, but the site hasn't been updated in a long time, isn't it? The pictures shown are from the issue #2 (according to Thierry Legouès website : http://www.thierrylegoues.com/M_Frevue2.html ), not the current issue.

Once again, if you find more details somewhere, don't forget about this thread.

French #7 FW05
[SIZE=-2]Posted on November 5, 2005 at 10:58:33 AM by Sara[/SIZE]

Cover: Various by Thierry le Goues
Vlada, Alyssa, Crystal, Anja, Hye, Iselin, Jaunel, Inguna, Katja, Martha, Melanie, Mona, Natasha Poly, Polina, Solange, Valentina, Mikael and Anja (drawing). All by Thierry le Goues with a neon grafitti. I got the Vlada issue - which has an even more stunning back cover than front cover.



Editorials: B/W Crystal (naked) by Thierry le Goues. Well, she is an example of a beautiful 12-14 sz woman.

Lush: BW The cover shoot with some cover pix and some additionals.
Unremarkable: Inguna x2, Katja, Melanie, Jessian, Caroline W, Rosie
Pretty nice: Crystal, Iselin, Natasha Poly
Solange: Simply amazing solange with a black hat (Gucci+McCartney). She looks fantastic - stylish, beautiful, perfect.

"Little Drummer Girls" by Marc Hom with Lydia Heast and Sarah. Humourously militant drummer girls. Really pointless and not very nice to look at.

"Comedia" by Paul Rowland. Caroline Winberg and some cute guys lounging around. There is one stunning bw topless shot with a veiled Caroline, which droolers we all know will adore. I will say that that one is a very good shot, but in general this ed is only average.

"Coney Island Babes" by Thierry le Goues with Valentina and Katja. Valentina really proves herself as a not just drop dead model by this edgy NY-fetisch rave kid editorial. Don't like Katja too much, but Valentina looks the best she's ever done - TLG and the make-up artist (Dalila Daika) brings something new out in her.

"Geometrie Jolie" by Enrique Badulesque with Izabel@One. She's certianly perfect by the ed doesn't do much for me. Too artsy. BW/silverish with bif neon rectangles strategeically placed on the models body.

"Beauté Vernie" by Eric Traoré with Polina. You can't go wrong with a beauty ed with Polina.

"Dark Angel" by Paul Rowland with Iselin. She's certainly a fantastic poser and has a most fantastic body but her face is not exceptional. Pretty cool, though...still...

"Escort Girl" Eric Troaré with Linda V. Overexposed, blurred out shots of Linda sitting in a car. Just boring.

"Hiver Cha(r)nel" Thomas Nutzl with Victor@City - Experimental collage with this androgynous model that I've never heard of. Not my cuppa.

"Skinky" by Philippe Chanet with Carol and Marie-Louise from Ford. The models are wearing nothing but accessories and some neon drawings have been added to the shots. Ok, but nothing fantastic.

"Appartment model" Bruno Barbazan shoots Michaela@Elite. This girl really reminds me of JP. She's walking around in this sparsely furnished apartment dressed in Hitchcock gear. Not my thing, really.

"El boxeo Soy yo!" Mikael by Thierry Le Goues. Some cute boys...

"Plush" by Thierry le Goues. From the cover shots of course. Opening, very appropriately, with a close up of Anja (gorgeous), Caroline Trentini, Jaunel, Vlada (intense), Mona (BW doesn't work for her), Alyssa, Anja (even more gorgeous), Martha (with bandana, she's so cute), Hye, Polina (with hat, amazing) and Elyse Taylor.

OVERALL: The cover with Vlada that I bought is one of the best covers I've ever seen. Haunting, intense, beautiful - she is like a 20s movie star thrust into 2005. She's just amazing, and TLG brings this out to the fullest. And there are some more stunning pix by TLG in the mag. Further, the Valentina ed is very nice. But otherwise, this is a bit of a let down.

[cournalie_clash]

[cournalie_clash]

does anyone have more scans of the covers?

 

[cournalie_clash]

what kind of magazine is french revue de modes?
is it a monthly?
they don't sell it here...and their site is NEVER updated so i have no idea.
i always adore the covers though.
is this magazine published with many different covers? or one magazine with a lot of covers (i don't know how that's possible) but...
sorry for asking lots of questions!

 

[yourbestfriend]

French is a small magazine that publishes twice a year with multiple covers. I think this cover features 18 different covers. The inside is a bunch of editorials shot mainly by Thierry Le Goues.

For some reason the link to his site isnt working, but if you google his name "Thierry Le Goues" the first result is his website. It works by clicking on that. On his website is the last few issues of French with the editorials and various covers.

 

[cournalie_clash]

thanks ybf
so the magazine has one issue for each season...!
i think i see now.
wow 18 covers! that is a lot!!!

French always has multiple covers (usually 18) - all the covers are shot by Thierry le Goues. Inside there is a page with thumbnails of all the covers, so that's how one knows what's available. There's always an opening ed by TLG from the cover shoots and a closing ed fromt he cover shoot. Usually those pix are the real treasures in the mag.

But there are some other good photographers who shoot for the mag - like Eric Troare, Bruno Barbazan, Marc Hom and Paul Rowland. But to me, it's the TLG shots that make me buy this pricy mag. I just lloooove those cover shots.

 

[iluvjeisa]

Here're all the covers (scanned by me).

 

[Dragonfly_CQ]

Wow, thank you guys for all the scans and info!

Now I can only hope that the issue will be on sale in Canada sometime soon... something that hasn't happened since spring 2004.

If someone can post a large scan of Anja's cover (with fur hat), please don't be shy to do so!

 

[yourbestfriend]
