Shakira has troubles with Law now, ha. I like the girls from the second and third cover, but feels like QUE DESASTRE!.

 

[Conbothsides]

They could've at least called Tim Walker...

 

[balmain1914]

this is pure trash.
i dont wanna waste my pounds on it!

 

[Kerg]

and they still do not understand why their profits plummet nowadays ????

 

[MModa]

Only love the Linda Evangelista photograph in the editorial. The rest of the images are not my cup of tea. Hopefully, there is another editorial and new resort ads in the issue.

Is that the legendary loading bay entrance Edward complained he was directed to? And now it has its own cover?

Taken from one of Popbitch's regular emails (and posted previously in the Business of Magazines thread)...

Don’t you just love how the piece just laughs off Edward’s heinous and calculated false victimhood narrative of being racially-profiled as just a dramatic fashion editor churning harmless hype to sell his brand-- at the expense of ruining the security guard’s reputation and having been terminated, just for doing his job. Yay for enabled superprivileges!

The coverrstory is ilariously inept if it weren’t so insultingly lacking in creative effort. A decade ago, these sort of admittedly "forced fun" (except for whenever that gormless mug of Kim Jones' is shoehorned in: Talk about a killjoy/cockblock/debbie-downer...) but pedestrian shots that require the bare basic creative effort would have been relegated to the back of the rag as society page-fillers. In 2023, it’s a coverstory for Vogue LOL

Take a gander at the Vintage Magazine threads, especially of Vogue Paris, where @blueorchid has updated with a treasure hoard’s worth of rare goodness: A Retrospective : Vogue Paris under Francine Crescent (1968 - 1987), where the masterclass production of a group shoots are so superbly executed-- creatively and technically, to such an elevated and still effortless vision of fashion presentation that hasn’t lost any of its potency in over half a century. Edward has in just a few short years, turned Vogue into Snapchat.

 

[matheus_s]

please whats the coverrstory with Edward and the building facade? Which building? help rs

Vogue House isn't really fit for purpose, it's quite run down. The nicest part is the outside, frontage. Conde Nast was actually already working some of its operations from the other Adelphi building for some time (2017/18) and it's superior in every way. It's a stunning Art Deco building and HUGE.

But I can't really care when the move comes at the cost of Conde Nast Worldewide News. That they are not going to move them as well and are just closing the shop is a crime.

 

[justaguy]

The House Party! editorial reminds me of something Jenna Rink presented in 13 Going On 30.

 

[Scotty]

Linda looks like Kris Jenner.

 

[crmsn]

This is a masterpiece if I were to compare it to their so-called Supermodel Summer editorial last year.

Yeah, it's sad. They should at least keep the online store open.

My subscription copy arrived today, just in case anyone wants to go ahead and post the editorials, now that it's officially out (I'll try to sit down and do a review).

 

[tigerrouge]

So the issue arrived, I got the first cover. Will that be the main cover available, I wonder? I was relieved, because the thought of getting one of the other two covers did not appeal in the slightest (I could do without Vogue giving me a glimpse of their tradesman entrance, thank you).

272 pages, another thick issue. No matter what you might think of what’s on the pages, you get plenty enough of them.

Another step closer to Christmas, and even more perfume samples in the magazine. Inside gatefold advert is Louis Vuitton, back page is Dior.

Fittingly, the person opening the ‘goodbye to Vogue House’ section is Robin Muir. There are a lot more shots in this feature than was posted online, and sometimes there are numerous pictures on a page, which makes things more interesting to look at.

The actual fashion editorials start with CALLING THE SHOTS, a studio-shot editorial by Mark Kean, styled by Jane How, with Fran Summers. It has the feel of dressed-down Hollywood actresses from the late 70s, heading into the 80s. It’s nice, but it’s not going to set anyone’s world on fire.

Then there’s the short Angelina Jolie story from US Vogue.

FIELD NOTES is an outdoors editorial, shot by Scott Trindle, styled by Eniola Dare, with Ella Rattigan and Shivaruby. It’s very low-effort. Wear clothes, stand in field. There’s no interplay of light or landscape, there’s no story or emotion.

There’s an interview with Alaia’s Pieter Mulier, this must be the fifth time I’ve seen this piece reprinted in an edition of Vogue.

CAPITAL GAMES is another location editorial, in Mexico City, shot by Emmanuel Lubezki, styled by Max Ortega, with Tindi Mar, Celeste Romero and Aneken Zaldivar. This one has more drama, but it’s over before it gets going.

Back page is ‘What would Susie Bick do’?

I would describe this issue as ‘nice’ but that’s due to the content at the front, before the fashion section. I’ll be super-happy to sit down and read through all the other pages, but there’s very little in the main fashion section to sustain anyone looking for… anything.

Judged on fashion editorials alone, this issue is void of interesting content, despite its page count.

Sounds Filthy Lol

I don't see photos from Instagram
People,if you make themes here why can't add just a photos???

Dear @Minerva13,

If you can't see IG photos, it is up to your device and/or your IG account (or even location, having on mind that several countries across the world have blocked or restricted social media), so please check those things.

Second, our PRECIOUS @vogue28 is posting about 95% of new threads - so, downloading an image from the Instagram, uploading it on some image hosting site, and on top of that writing a description/credits for every single image would be R-E-A-L-L-Y too much to ask for!

And third, HERE (second page of this thread, which means that you didn't even bother to glance through it) you can see all the covers with accompanying cover-story.

 

[ezacessline]

Like some members said i was suprised to see Shakira.
Instead of getting a car all these people got a feature in this issue.

^^We had a rule here decade ago about not hotlinking images from other sites and these instagram inserts are just this, means instagram post are easily removable so we will have disappearing information here, empty threads etc

 

[MulletProof]

would be R-E-A-L-L-Y too much to ask for!

Not really. Crediting images properly has been encouraged here for two decades now, not sure when it stopped being a part of this section's etiquette for starting a thread. Yes, it's time-consuming, it's always been, but bringing all the info + images here makes a search easier, it raises the quality of discussion (because you know what people are talking about right away- instead of depending on another site's format + marketing), and it's a bit more time-resistant (difference between an old thread full of dead links and a thread with images). Hotlinking was an issue here for many years, due to bandwidth but also the fact that you're handing outsiders full control of how long the image stays visible and indirectly, the activity of the forum.

There's nothing blocked where I am but you cannot browse instagram from certain places/companies due to security so sometimes when I enter a thread and see just a blank square it's like 'oh okay... another ig opener, carry on'. I understand the effort matters but tfs has been built by volunteers and this is a very slow time for the forums, it would be nice to keep the quality the same and maybe to.. also consider the international aspect of the forum, if you're hotlinking from a site that is restricted in several countries, why accommodate their nature and not the nature of this forum?
