UK Vogue June 2019 : Madonna by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[mikel]

When was the last time she worked with Meisel?

I think for Louis Vuitton.

 

[HeatherAnne]

Oh snore, more Fran Summers and Rianne, wouldn't risk a paper cut on this issue.

Why does she remind me of Jade, the ANTM contestant in this video? 'I AM the undiscovered supermodel!'
Maybe it's just the headscarf, lol.

Also, Whoopi and her gang took issue with some parts of this cover story.

There is an article about Whitney with that bathtub cover??? Unfortunate!!! Next month lets put a model cooking on the cover and a Sylvia Plath story inside...

Which album cover he shooted ?

I think Erotica was the last one Meisel shot.

I saw this on the newsstand for sale at £2, and was going to buy a copy while I wait for my subscription one to turn up.

But bumping up the numbers like that would just be encouraging more content of the calibre of that Whitney piece - old Meisel images accompanying the entirely unremarkable words of an interview with the editor. "She represented a world of possibility, of what's possible if you follow your talent and your heart."

Ah, so the true theme of this issue IS bathtubs.

If we're going to mine Meisel for vintage content, I'd have loved to see his unpublished Madonna stuff. I remember seeing Madonna on the front of the February 1991 Vogue Italia, on sale in my provincial newsagents, and it looking like no other magazine cover I'd ever seen before. It cost £5.50, but I didn't buy it because I didn't have enough money.

British Vogue's been £2 for quite a while now...

Agreed, unreleased Madonna shots wouldve been a better fit. It didn't had to be from Meisel either, I'm sure Madonna herself must be sitting on a lot of shots.

I wonder whether Vogue requested approval from Whitney's team or family (just as a matter of courtesy), or how said team/family will feel when they receive this issue in the mail. Madonna, of all women, sinking away in a bathtub. Classy!

I actually found this issue very cold, dark and heavy for a summer issue, from the styling to the images. Even the front section. And there's not much in the way of articles either. June is the one month where magazines can show some sunshine, or at least something to lift the spirit. We get enough of those Sims and Sion studio shoots throughout the year.

Oh well, there's always Harper's, I suppose.

 

[HeatherAnne]

Fran Summers could not pull off that editorial. Proper model would have landed the cover shot from it.

Vogue Paris looks good this month!
