^I don't know who started first to emphasize the celebs in their magazine. but i know Uomo Vogue is doing it for some times now. and it gets me bored ....
When you have celebs everyday in fashion mags, the problem is that you don't look at a fashion story the same way you could look at it with models. the celebs bring a context with them. and to be honest what i would love to see is celebs getting decontextualized .... but look at PDD or Pharell : everytime they are shooted for a fashion mag they don't show a different face, they show what they show to the other media.
When I look at a fashion story, I want imagination, I want a novel. I want someone I could be, someone i could like being or hate being. But i don't want to id myself to celebs, because they don't allow me dreaming.
Uomo Vogue thinks they got it right.
to me they got it wrong .... but celebs sell.
and maybe Uomo Vogue needed $ or would just die, non ?
