US Vogue December 2007 : Penélope Cruz by Annie Leibovitz

[Luxx]

I will do Pene's edit tonight, if no one else gets to it. I can scan articles as well if anyone is interested in reading anything

Darias ed is very pretty, although not too exciting for her, I have to say Doutzens ed is the star ed for me, glam and sexy and fab clothes!

Thanks LUXX for the scans. I'll definitely be picking up this one. Just how hot does Gemma look?!? She's all grown up!

Not liking this cover at all, penelope cruz is usually one of the better celebrities yet her facial expression is just off this time. Cover does not look aesthetically pleasing nor does it sexy or exotic nor does it look quirky...don't know what they are trying to do. It's so dull. On the other hand, quite looking forward to seeing Daria's 18 page in this

Thank you for all the wonderful scans Luxx

Thanks for the scans, Luxx! Nothing particularly outstanding or revolutionary, but it's the fact that we're seeing S/S 08 clothing in magazines already that excites me.

 

[Suburban Snob]

Hmm. Not sure if I'm crazy about the cover. Penelope either looks great or really bad in photos - no in the middle in my opinion. However, the best I thought Penelope has ever looked was strangely enough in a Ralph Lauren ad.

So nice to see someone different on the cover (I use the term loosely, but it's been a while since her last). My problem with it is this, if you're going to go cliche, GO for it. This is slightly held back. Put her in that gold embroidered, red circle skirt, Velazquez inspired dress from Dior couture and make her look like a Spanish painting...if you're not gonna do it well, don't do cliche at all.

Still, it has nice coloring to it, very vibrant and inviting.

The Daria ed is nice, also a nice use of color there. I feel like I've seen the Gemma ed before, the whole expensive clothes and jewels in an everyday cleaning situation.

I actually like the Doutzen editorial. It's warm and sensual, it has a great feeling to it despite it's being a plain old Vogue studio series.

I'm looking forward to seeing Penelope's editorial. Liebovitz usually does wonderful things in foreign locations with great scenery.

what's interesting is that in daria thread there's been a general negative judgment of her editorial. for various reasons nobody liked it.
here, in a less specific thread, ppl seem to like it. i think this different reception is interesting, like this is an ed that only ppl who don't follow daria specifically can like.

 

[Starry]

This issue sounds interesting.
At least the cover is not bad.

 

[Mirik]

Luxx, thanks for all the scans!
will definitely want to read Pe's article

 

[Lovin1991]

I don't like the ed with daria!i love daria ,but what happened to her hair?
and that hat?

gemma looks great!i love the ed!!

 

[columbine]

Gemma looks wonderful
but Daria's and Doutzen's eds, blah... I love Daria but her ed is uninteresting. & I hate someone-jumping-around-the-studio eds.
Anyway, thank you for the scans, Luxx

I'd love to see/read Penelope's pictures and article.

 

[Brighid]

I like Gemma's ed, she looks fab, even when she clean windows

 

[nocturne]

I'm waiting for Penelope!!

 

[tigerrouge]

This issue seems to be quite active and vibrant - but somehow, over the past while, my view of US Vogue as uninspired and repetitive has become so ingrained, that even an issue like this fails to truly convince me that it can be varied and inspiring. I seem to have formed a bad attitude about the magazine, after seeing so many issues that weren't that great.

I suspect it'll take a truly exciting issue to shake me out of that impression. I don't quite believe that this is the one - but it's by no means a bad attempt. I'll certainly be looking forward to seeing it, just to see how colourful it is in real life.

Whoa...does Marchesa have connections to Vogue?

Who is the designer of the cover dress?

 

[style_savy]

How did they manage to make her look so bad? Esp. the cover....
