eds:
"Fall's Finest" by Anthony Ward. Anja and Anthony Ward are one trick ponies; this looks exactly like his last two collaborations with Valentina in Bazaar. A bore.
"The Wild Bunch" by Jason Schmidt. Interviews with Tilda Swinton (in Viktor & Rolf), Chloe Sevigny (in Dolce & Gabbana), Jessica Lange (in J. Mendel), Frances Conroy (in Oscar de la Renta), and Julie Delpy (in Rochas), stars of the new Jim Jarmusch film "Broken Flowers." There's also a one page interview with Sharon Stone (in Ferre), who makes a cameo in the film. I was sure Chloe would get a cover out of this movie, but I guess it won't be Bazaar.
"The New Classics" by Solve Sundsbo. Missy Rayder is a fave of mine, but not in these shots. I love her collaborations with Glen Luchford, and usually Sundsbo shines, but the backdrop is drab and doesn't allow Katie Grand's styling to stand out.
"Cate Shines" by Alexi Lubomirski. She's elegant, intelligent and classy. The photos are nice as well.
"Clothes to Fall in Love With" by Alice Hawkins, styled by Katie Grand. Gisele looks super cute posing with some adorable boys, mechanics and football players. A great contrast to her ed from W earlier this year. This girl's still got it!
other eds:
"What Makes Giorgio Armani Tick?" by Karl Lagerfeld. Pics of the designer with Jaunel, Marina Peres, and Katja.
"Fashion with a Heart" by Andreas Sjodin. Linda V. in a story about labels with a social conscious. She looks amazing...I've been missing her alot.
"A Fashionable Life" At home with Vuitton PR director Camille Miceli.
"The Way I Looked" by Angelica Huston. The actress looks back on her first appearance in Bazaar, in 1969.
"Fashion Meets Art" Profiles of two bands, The Citizens Band, featuring Karen Elson and Melissa auf der Mar, and Mother Inc. with Yvonne Force.
- Padma Lakshmi shops for the best fall accessories
- best dressed from the CFDA awards (a measly single page?)
- Bazaar hosts a dinner for Alber Elbaz to celebrate his CFDA International Award
verdict: with Vogue only having one ed, and a lackluster one at that, it's easy to give Bazaar the edge this month. now here's hoping their momentum will continue into September.
