The features, not actually posted here, are more of an incentive to get this issue. I hope this slump was a once-off, and that we won't have endure another British Vogue situation.
I like the Irish story with Heather Kemesky so much that I'm prepared to look past it being a blatant Lindbergh facsimile. Of course there's more to Ireland than endless dales and haggard farmhand girls, but I never tire of country fashion features. Kudos to the stylist for lightening it up with florals and multi-coloured prints.
As expected, the cover edit fails to impress me. It's just so dull, Spanish Vogue could do better, and indeed they did. Weber is becoming more and more commercial with each job he books! None of that spark or quirk is evident here, and I wasn't even a fan of his work to begin with. His subjects look so lifeless. At least there's no homoerotic fixation in site, which I suppose is a plus.
Terry's story with Andreea, but it's the sort of thing we see month after month in VP, so nothing new for me. The rest are all very run-of-the-mill, and very catalogue looking. Too many full-body shots, which I imagine would be to sell more apparel from head to toe. It is Porter, after all.
Thanks for posting,
