[nyc_art_style]

they're all over nyc now so someone is bound to buy or recieve one soon. i'm sure the contents will be just as the same as they are every month.

"The World's Prettiest Portrait" seems interesting. I hope that was shot by Irving Penn. His eds are always amazing.

Review

Love of a Lifetime
Ph. Annie Liebovitz
Fashion Editor: Grace Coddington
Models: Coco Rocha (Juliet) , Roberto Bolle (Romeo) & John Lithgow (Friar Lawrence)

A couture retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Love it. True to the story and similar to Liebovitz's other dramatic editorials.

The Gliteratti
Ph. David Sims
Fashion Editor: Tonne Goodman
Model: Raquel Zimmermann

Same editorial. Different month. Raquel's hair looks good here though, for once.

Costal Blend
Ph. Mario Testino
Fashion Editor: Tonne Goodman
Model: Catherine McNeil & Jon Hamm

So very very 1950s Ava Gardner and the Frank Sinatra. Love it.

Shine A Light
Ph. Patrick Demarchelier
Fashion Editor: Elissa Santisi
Models: Caroline Trentini, Arlenis Sosa, Coco Rocha, Oluchi Orlandi, Sasha Pivovarova & LAKSHMI MENON

Jewels and big ones but more importantly look at the casting. Amazing. Stellar. This is really Oluchi's issue, she's featured 3 times.

La Vie en Pose
Ph. Annie Leibovitz
Fashion Editor: Phylliss Posnick
Model: Natalia Vodianova & Franceso Clemente

Natalia has her portrait painted by Franceso. Only one picture but it's gorgeous. Jonathan Safran Foer writes - I'm biased towards this all of course.

Ice Age
Ph. Steven Klein
Fashion Editor: Phyliss Posnick
Model: Oluchi Orlandi

One picture accompanying an article about cyrotherapy - Oluch looks stellar though. Oluchi is also featured in the Vogue Index with her son. Amazing.

This issue gets a B from me - it's not perfect. The Sims edit is the same garbage, the Aniston piece is blah, even the Coco edit could be considered rehash given its similarity to the previously done Leibovitz fantasy editorials. There are no new ideas to be found but most of what is in this issue is well done and representative of the US Vogue aesthetic in a flattering way.

Thank you for the review.
I can't wait to see Costal Blend and Shine a Light!

Model: Catherine McNeil & Jon Hamm

yay...but I wish they would put January and Jon on a cover. Mad Men is so fashoin forward...despite looking backward.

 

[irulan]

Coco has the ed with Leibovitz. Oh god, this is so absolutely, incredibly making my day!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Thanks for the review Luxx, so the madness can stop now.

But i am just over the moon about my mans edit i would buy this issue for that alone even if i got death threats from Brangeloonies.

Oh yeah... me too & this combination sounds wonderful. I love Clemente... he's one of my favorite painters.

Thank you for the review Luxx

 

[eternitygoddess]

I wanna see the couture retelling of Romeo and Juliet!

 

[cesarcmma]

Thanks for the review Luxx, I can't give you karma now, but I will.

Roberto Bolle is having his fashion moment right now, Is nice to see such talented people getting attention.

 

[vogue28]

this actually sounds like a good issue.. thanks for the review

 

[clo]

Thanks for the review, Luxx. I would give you karma but apparently I must spread some reputation first! Can't wait for Coco, Raquel and Catherine. I can really see Catherine as an Ava Gardner of sorts, she has that kind of sexuality. And am so glad that now that we're discussing editorials all the arguing about Jennifer and Angelina can stop, although I must admit I myself contributed to it, but hey, who hasn't? Thanks a million, Luxx, you're a sweetheart!

 

[KKnardi]

I really want to see the "Shine A Light"-ed.

 

[testinofan]

Thanks for the exelent review die for watch the Catherine McNeil ed

 

[XavierRaphael]

Told you guys there was a multi girl edit.

 

[Luxx]

Why can't the casting always be this good?

Shine A Light

[XavierRaphael]

Thank you Luxx it's a beautiful ed, displaying these models true beauty.
I can't wait for the Romeo & Juliet ed.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

That is fantastic, but my favorite shot is of Sosa, how stunning.

OT: Does anyone else get a pop up "choose your sex partner" window? Imagevenue needs to stop with this s**t!!!
