UK Vogue May 2025 : Billie Eilish by Johnny Dufort

[Deneuve]

that must be the most depressing way to start the month of may in the history of time

 

[Marc10]

I would love to see her styled by someone like Panos Yiapanis. I think there’s a lot of room to create something elevated within her wheelhouse of baggy, boyish street wear. Unfortunately there’s no great stylists nowadays in these magazines, so we just get safe and predictable.

Isn't Chioma Nnadi going to do a new layout for her 'era' in this magazine?

AND

Another very important thing: Edward left for a position at CondeNast and recently announced the opening of his own company. I didn't understand anything. So he left CN????? Does anyone know anything? Any update? any gossip??? Becuse he left vogue JUST TO BE PART OF SOMETHING AT CN and just a few months later he opens his own business? thats sooooooooooooooooo strange and no one is talking about it

Love Billie. Not this cover though. But the girl is privately very cool!

This cover has been out for a week and I've never seen it before? Not that I'm the bellwether for relevancy, but I do think that says something about British Vogue's standing.

My subscription copy is yet to arrive but apparently, looking here, I'm not missing much. What a sad, uneventful, and completely lackluster issue of British Vogue.

No print subscription copy yet for me, but I've just looked through the digital issue, and this has to be the worst issue of UK Vogue I've ever seen, and I've been looking at this edition since 1990.

The cover shoot is terrible, and it's not to do with Billie, it's the style of the shoot, because I can't even imagine someone like Gisele saving it. The accompanying feature is the type of Q&A that belongs in a music magazine for teenagers.

After that, we have two reprints as the main fashion content - I don't mind the US Vogue story, but it does look very Vanity Fair, and I'm really only interested in the women's looks. As for the Spanish Vogue reprint with Lila Moss, I had no interest in it the first time around, and now we get it again a month or so later.

Elsewhere, near the front of the issue, there's a feature with the daughter of actor Thandiwe Newton / director Ol Parker, and the back page blurb is with Brooke Shields.

So press 1 for reprints, press 2 for nepo daughters, press 3 for Teen Vogue or press 0 to cancel your subscription.

I agree with you regarding the design of UK Vogue. It definitely needs a refresh already, especially, under the current editor.

I agree with you. I see the actual print copy of UK Vogue much later than you do, however, it has become very stale. Recently, I saw the March issue, there is nothing exciting inside.

This means that you have definitely seen more than a handful of great issues of UK Vogue throughout the years. I have not seen them all but there are treasures in the magazine's history.

Thank you for the review, as always. Love your perspective.

Was just thinking the same?!? What happened there? He was “best” friends with the Newhouses who gave him the position… But this all smells of him getting fired from the position?!? Strange.. Conde Nast is a sinking ship, but they obviously still have that colonial mindset thinking they are the top. Oh boy…
Edward’s Vogue was tacky and old fashioned, but this new is even worse, in different ways. Which goes to show - whoever makes the wrong horing decisions is TACKY AND OLD FASHIONED lol

you see???

And the point is NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT. I googled and nothing.
Why did everyone report his departure from Vogue but no one wrote a single word about his departure from CN? Isn't that strange?
Could he have opened his company and at the same time been at CN? Does anyone here know anything?
He's not Vogue's global creative and cultural advisor and editorial advisor at British Vogue anymore so?

I haven’t been commenting on British Vogue much recently because most of the time I can’t even be bothered to complain about it anymore. I tried to cancel my subscription in December but turns out I was subscribed under a different email address that I couldn’t get back into and they wouldn’t let me cancel unless I emailed from that account. I’m sure I could’ve just called but I gave up before I tried, so it still arrives.

I have this issue with me now. Along with the decline in content, the cover paper stock has also been downgraded. Same gloss finish, but it’s thinner than it used to be and it feels very cheap. The cover paper thickness is helped a little bit by the fold out Dior ad, but once you feel it without the ad folded underneath you really notice the poor quality even more. I didn’t even open the last issue, so perhaps this isn’t news to other subscribers, but I’m disappointed.

It’s a thin issue at 184 pages, whereas British Vogue has typically always felt a healthy size to me, even in recent times. They sent me the cover with her leaning on the leg and it’s horrible.

The Conde Nast subscription service is a bit cumbersome - they direct you to use their online portal, but over the years I've been given many different subscriber numbers, which makes it impossible to manage anything in that portal, because your email login can only be associated with one subscriber number, and often that's an old number that's long since lapsed.

I once asked if it was possible to consolidate all my various numbers under one subscriber number, and was told no.

They sent me the cover with her leaning on the leg and it’s horrible.

Aside from Billie stans, who would be interested in seeing that cover? The magazine needs to make a decision - is it primarily focused on farming 'likes' online, or are they actually interested in trying to create a fashion magazine that speaks to grown adults? You can't do both things well at once, no matter how much you want to.

Picking one of those options and sticking to it throughout the issue would at least show some conviction - which is why I follow each new issue of French Vogue with interest. It might have the depth of a puddle, but the voice is consistent from first page to last.

It's because no one on tFS cares, not because no one in general caring. This site is (naturally) biased. It's not like every fashion event is reported on here.

 

[90sfan]

The magazine is ruined by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse and her husband. They obviously cant make a good decision.
