Tatler July 2022 : Queen Elizabeth II by Oluwole Omofemi | the Fashion Spot

Tatler July 2022 : Queen Elizabeth II by Oluwole Omofemi

^My thoughts exactly! A truly dreadful portrait of Queen Elizabeth, which bares zero resemblance. Never known Queen Elizabeth to have jet black hair - not even in her younger years. I expected more from Tatler in celebration of the jubilee, a whole lot more.
 
They went for a different approach to other magazines by commissioning a picture, rather than just reprinting a vintage image, although for this occasion, people might prefer that type of content.
 
No UK Vogue in the post this morning, but I did get my subscription copy of this issue - the cover is exactly as shown above, no alternatives are listed on the contents page. 144 pgs, and it comes with a Wedding Guide.

The adverts start with an inside front cover fold-out of the new Chanel campaign, the rest are for jewellery, watches and champagne.

Articles include:
  • A look at Oliver Brown's hatter shops
  • A day indulging in goods supplied by royal warrant
  • A month-long exhibition of previous unseen heirlooms at Sotheby's to celebrate the Jubilee
  • The Queen's greatest treasures (jewellery article)
  • A Brush with Royalty - what do the Queen's portraits reveal (ties in with the cover shot)
  • Crown Paints - the cover artist Oluwole Omofemi talks producing the cover art, and about his career
  • Queen of the Castle - a look at Windsor Castle
  • Long To Reign Over Us - an article about the Commonwealth
  • Striking Back - the present-day reckonings of the British Empire
  • Some aristocrat proposing a big sculpture in a field to celebrate the Queen and people aren't happy
  • Royal Regimes - beauty products said to be in royal bathroom cabinets
  • The back page Tatler Throwback is The Queen Mother and the young Elizabeth on a 1927 cover of Tatler, "the first of her 16 Tatler covers"
Editorials:
  • DESIGN OF THE TIMES is a 14 pg fashion editorial showcasing each decade (50s to now), shot on London streets
Wedding supplement:
  • It's 88 pgs and you can pretty much imagine what the content looks like, shots of stately homes
  • There's a 10 pg editorial AND SO TO WED which is nice, in the Tatler way of things
Tatler may never boast a big page count, but when the magazine decides an issue has a theme, they devote the issue to that theme - exploring it from so many angles, it puts other magazines to shame for their half-hearted efforts. I find the cover unusual, but I appreciate that they tried something different. As a subscriber, I'm usually happy with the dose of glamour Tatler provides each month, and this one is no different.
