^Wow, that's a long ed. Thanks for scanning Avant Garde!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Jennifer is looking really good and relaxed i dont like her usually but she can wear those dresses!

 

[fleur137]

wow 2 hilary eds!!

 

[Pulp Fiction]

Jennifer look terrific ! thank you so much !!

 

[Organic]

can not stand her.

 

[dew6]

Jennifer looks amazing, quite beautiful.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

She looks beautiful as always!

 

[L.A.Gant]

sooo disappointed that this was not out today!!!!

 

[Fabulyss]

Stunning, but she is always so 'done' and it gets a bit old, you know?

 

[lacy99]

I think the interview with Jennifer was so boring, they could have done better I think.

 

[Monmonde]

can not stand her.

Me either.

I don't see why everyone says J Lo (hate her ) looks good. I don't see why typical American magazines (e.g. Vogue and H let celebs wear couture dresses either, because IMO they don't look good in couture.

It's slightly off-topic but W's non-celeb couture edits are amazing

 

[EDISON27]

WOW~~~JLO always looks soooooooo fabulous!

bazaar may 2006

BEST EDIT #1: lindbergh shoots carolyn miller on the beach in LA. give her credit, miller still looks fantastic. lindbergh's breezy B&W's make it look easy, but this outdoorsy style, especially in bazaar, made him one of the best fashion photographers of the last 20+ years, and its nice to see him back on top form, after recent rocky edits in HB. This is pretty much at the level of his 90s HB B&W style, great Cali beach setting & miller's performance is strong. I might have liked to see some swimsuits here- miller's recent vogue swim edits weren't as good as this- but as it is, with the beautiful B&W's and beach setting & dynamite miller work, its by far the best story in this ish, and one of Lindbergh's best in recent memory. rating 8 of 10.

BEST EDIT #2: thyskens/rochas special by hiro with hilary rhoda. actually rhoda looks better here than in sundsbo shoot below. she wears rochas evening looks pretty well. Hiro is a brilliant photog but these are just ok for him- most of his work is much better than this, although these are still very good. some nice evening pieces by olivier. its a quality edit yet i sense we've seen better of this type in bazaar recently- [gemma/bardot by karl, for example] more electric pics, better model & even better clothes. its a nice rochas feature with adult images but also lacking that certain spark that would make it essential. 6.8 of 10.

EDIT #3: sundsbo shoots hilary rhoda in bright colors. its a good edit, a few of the images recall classic bazaar, revolutionary art-directorial style of the 60s. rhoda's getting there, and katie grand's styling is fresh & energetic. yet this is not a blockbuster edit & I think rhoda has a ways to go before she'll be excelling in every story- shes cute here & sundsbo does good work but its not lightning in a bottle, best thing is kaleidoscopic allusion to 60s bazaar style. rating 6.7 of 10.

EDIT #4: missy rayder by nathaniel goldberg. these are good pics compositionally, missy looks pretty good still, and editor george cortina's fashion is ok, but something here also looks like inferior Lindbergh lanscape style & while the images are sleek & modern in a sense, they also lack a certain sizzle or gravity. 6 of 10 cos missy can still do it & the arty compositions have something to them.

EDIT #5: lubomirski shoots heidi klum & seal. well its better than I feared it would be. seal is pretty elegant here as are the clothes but as usual lubomirski just totally copied testino- how many times have we seen the horse on the beach thing in vogue lately? you know i dont want to see heidi or even seal really but given all that this is still better than I might have feared. 4 of 10 the evening looks on the beach are at least viewable.

Cover/Edit #6: J Lo by Lindbergh. While better than Testino's atrocious Vogue J Lo LA cover/edit, this is still really just average, best pic is red valentino couture. Cover also just ok, Im just not a J Lo fan. rating 4 of 10, only cos its better than many J Lo edits.

BEST PIC & MODEL IN MAG: pg 83 Julia Stegner in Lacroix bikini. Julia is totally the best model of the 21st Century & her body especially is just out of this world! BEST!!
* More Julia: pg 108 Julia & Poly at Herrera in great bikinis. Vogue had same Julia CH bikini in April. Julia + Bikinis = BEST BEST BEST!
* julia & inguna at pucci. Ive seen this image before too I still love it all the way! Glenda obvs knows that Julia is the best girl around, shes pictured everywhere this month: why is hilary rhoda in 2 edits instead of gorgeous Julia? Julia's bikinis this month are Rocking Non-Stop!!!

MORE BIKINI: on Cintia at Som; jemima khan; marija at celine. also bianca & doutzen at kors hot!!

SMART SHOPPING: nautical chic, great pieces from ralph, gaultier, chloe, & burberry. I <3 Nautical! I wore my navy/white striped st james 3/4 sleeve marinier jumper today & I try to wear 1 nautical piece everyday!!

READING: The Bikini Book by Kelly Bensimon. also "Guy Bourdin" by alison gingeras : love him!!

LIVING: At home with Andrew Gn.

HOROSCOPE: "Pay attention to your own needs this month, and be self-indulgent: That long-held desire is within your grasp." I <3 Leigh Oswald!!

GOOD ADS: Liberty of London bikini ad is this Cameron? Looking Good!!


VERDICT: There's good fashion and lifestyle stuff this month. The edits were of quality but also not at the amazing level that bazaar has reached in the past & recently, too.
murphy by lindbergh definitely stood out, it reminded me of some of bazaar's best stuff with say amber 1996 or natalia 2002. rhoda was pretty good but even with Hiro and sundsbo she just wasnt rocking as hard as a top girl should. Julia in bikinis, on the other hand, is so obviously the best model of the 21st century Im thoroughly infatuated with her. julias bikinis this month- lacroix, herrera, pucci - were just out of this world- the best model alive!!! This is a cute bazaar with some good info but also a bit slight & thus non-essential, especially compared with the superb may vogue issue, and also great stuff in may W like sims & daria. there wasnt enough of that tip-top quality in the rest of this issue.
rating: ONE SLIGHT THUMBS UP.

Scanned by me

 

[julesrules815]

^thank you!

 

[KhaoticKharma]

Hilary Rhoda looks a lot like Lisa Cant in some of those phots

 

[L.A.Gant]

I finally got my hands on a copy and I am loving it. But I was disappointed with Jennifer's pictures, I think she is boring as cardboard to begin with, but usually appealing in the fashion relm, looks a little off here - I don't think couture works for her. And her hair, usually beautiful and glossy, looks a little dry and fried in the pictures. The rest of the edits are delightful, I just love this magazine!!

 

[brokenenglish]

Though the Heidi/Seal pics were boring the interview was just the sweetest thing. They seem like a very solid couple.

I wish Jlo would just retire... the interview and pics were dull, dull, dull.
