US Vanity Fair October 2005 : Paris Hilton by Mario Testino

[Jacque Marcel]

I agree with Label Basher about the background and text but she does not warrant a cover in 2005. Graydon Carter is out of his mind and he needs to move on.

honestly, was there ever a more embarrassing vanity fair cover? this is so not good....

Oh Vanity Fair, I cannot put into words what I think of your 'cover'. I can't believe these once 'elite' fashion magazines are going downnnnn.

Just months ago Vanity Fair faced dismal rates in circulation and subscriptions. People were talking about editor Graydon Carter getting the cut. But in the course of a few well-timed issues (naked Euro models, Martha Stewart, Jennifer Aniston, now Paris) Vanity Fair has turned around. The Jennifer Aniston issue was their best selling issue EVER and I suspect this Paris issue will see similar success. It sucks but it's what a magazine needs to do to stay alive these days. Tilda Swinton in Yohji Yamamoto doesn't sell. Paris Hilton in Juicy Couture with her breasts exposed does. I don't blame Vanity Fair for being realistic. I just hope the inside content is still smart and fresh.

I like the cover, but it doesn't fit with the theme/spirit of Vanity Fair. The cover would have fit in a more fresh, avant garde magazine.

I just subscribed. It's still a good read.

extremely well said. the fact is, the vast majority of people don't buy magazines for the content inside..only for gossip and silly people like paris
but every vanity fair issue i've ever picked up is jam-packed with amazing articles. i'll continue buying it till the bitter end!

(the cover is well laid out, but paris hilton? puh lease!

Are those........white jodphurs???? Do my eyes deceive me???? Her being topless...I can deal with, this is Paris Hilton after all. But white jodphurs......can't really articulate speech after seeing that cover.

 

[scblonndie]

Uhhhhhhgggg....

 

[indie]

I think this is kinda okey, it's paris hilton afterall.

 

[fugfashion]

Uhhhhhhgggg....

I second that.

 

[nouveau]

omg...that's hot...what a spectacle ...loves it

 

[RyanRyan]

So did she ever get that cover?

 

[OriginalSin]

sorta...she got the october cover.... jennifer aniston made the september cover instead (they were switched, i think b/c so much info was leaking about the aniston story)

if youre a paris fan definitely take a look at the story. there are several sexy lingerie pictures and she is posed out of doors with an equestrian theme and I think her body looks great in the lingerie and the images are pretty hot. the mixture of blonde paris, a horsey backdrop, and lingerie out of doors is very surreal, and a "fantasy" for that
