UK Vogue April 2009 : Claudia Schiffer by Patrick Demarchelier

[tigerrouge]

My subscription expired with the March issue... and I've flicked through this April issue a few times, but nothing inside made me feel this is a must-buy. I'd probably buy it if I saw it in a second-hand shop, but I can't imagine spending nearly £4 for a retro cover of Claudia and yet more Karlie Kloss.

I don't mind the cover shot, it's sparkly and inoffensive, with general appeal. But the supermodel glamour ends there, because the feature inside is too short to satisfy.

If it's going to be a stream of sellable/celebrity covers with equally weak content, I don't think I'll be buying another issue until September's comes around.

What I would like to see in the months ahead - an issue with a superb swimwear shot for the cover (on someone who can fill out a swimsuit) full of tropical promise, or some such fantasy. UK Vogue would interpret a swimwear shot with their own twist on things, with some decorum, some class. Say, by getting Tim Walker to do it, he would come up with something novel for the scenario.

Saying that the obsession with Karlie Kloss has to stop. Is like saying the obsession with Lara Stone has to stop at Vogue Paris.
I really like both Karlie's editorials in this issue. She hasn't been in that many issues

I yearn to see stronger models than Karlie in the magazine, to really bring those stories alive. For me, it's a bad combination of 'model and magazine'. In my eyes, Karlie's not the most thrilling model and UK Vogue's editorials aren't that experimental - so when you put the two together, it's not a great result.

If a stronger model was in those editorials, they might work better for me. If Karlie worked for another magazine, I might be admiring those images. But Karlie in UK Vogue... she's nice, but nice isn't enough. It doesn't take long for boredom to set in, when the thrills weren't there from the start.
