L'Uomo Vogue October 2008 : Sean Diddy Combs by Mark Seliger

[BerlinRocks]

^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 ?

i'm dissapointed with L'uomo vogue rite now. they used to have good photos, eds, and amazing cover that always impressed me. but now, they always use celebrity every months. and suddenly it's just boring. i know celebrity sells the magazine. but i lost the mood to see the magazine right now. i don't like their new direction for cover.

It started when Franca Sozzani took over as EIC. I don't know if she still is... I haven't bought a L'UOMO Vogue in awhile.

it just goes from dark into darker... every issue, luomo pretty much lost all relevancy

When was a model last time on their cover?

 

[kimair]

the cover isn't bad... that pinky ring is out of hand...
but i would have rather seen robin thicke, will.i.am or n.e.r.d...

amen.

i HATE the cover. i liked l'uomo vogue's recent covers... louis garrel, sean penn, tilda swinton, even though they're actors those were great covers, but this is just bad. and i'm not really excited with the contents either, but i'm curious to see what they have to say about gilberto gil...

Diddy is so overrated! I would have rather seen Will.I.Am or N.E.R.D on the cover.

Is it me or does Diddy look tired and very uncomfortable in the image?

amen to that. I miss the days that this publication was about proper fashion(photography) and not just about boring portraits of musicians, artists and actors.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! Paul Stanley looks great!

this seems to be a really WEIRD issue.
plus this Snoop Dogg to P Diddy fever seems to be really odd. who's next? Kanye West? Jay Z? Bow Wow?

Well Jay-Z was just in L'uomo Vogue so I doubt if he is coming up. Kanye West's career is not booming right now so I doubt if he is going to be on a cover anytime soon and Bow Wow is not even in the same league as Diddy, Jay-Z and Kanye West. There are in a sense "icons" in modern day hip/hop music. Bow Wow is not; so I doubt he will have a cover.

I am sure the next issue, we will not see someone of the hiphop/rap world on the cover.
