US Vogue February 2005 : Melania Knauss by Mario Testino

[Foxie-Pooh]

105cm...isn't that about 42 inches? What kind of shoes have 42 inches heels?

 

[CelineChic]

I loved the dress ever since I saw it on the couture show...why can't she just do the full runway version,you know...nude bustier, drag queen make-up, skyhign platforms, beauty mark and all. I mean the dress is fantastic and she should really respect the designer's original version, plus she is already a clown so the entire ensumble would be very appropriate.

Why do you call her a clown?

 

[Meg]

uh yes there is a degree of a model, just like there are unexperienced and very experienced engineers. There are crappy engineers who suck at their jobs and there are ones who are amazing and have changed the face of engineering.

maybe so, but they're still engineers!

Face it, she is a model. Maybe not a popular one but still is a model

 

[Meg]

No, because I don't believe she is a model. Calling yourself one and being in a few jewelry campaigns, doesn't do it for me. You are free to call her a model all you wish though.

OH, thats your opinion. That's what I thought....

 

[DietDrPepper]

No word yet what the gown cost the bride and her billionaire fiancé, but sources do say the cover coup was dependent on Knauss agreeing to reveal the dress prior to the big day, bouncing “Million Dollar Baby” Hilary Swank from the coveted spot.

Like anyone cares whether or not they see her dress before the wedding, or ever for that matter. I'm suprised Trump didn't try to get himself on the cover also

 

[Meg]

OH, thats your opinion. That's what I thought....

Just like yours is an opinion.

 

[*Happiness*]

Who is Melania?? I know she is Donald's "new bride" but who is SHE????

 

[CelineChic]

must I re-explain eveything? Facts are facts. You cannot base someones profession on how well or how often they do it.

 

[Meg]

uh and what makes it a fact that she is a model? Because you say so And how can it be a profession if they no longer do it? They would then be retired. And actually you can't just claim a fact is a fact, it depends what method of truth you suscribe to, and I for one, believe truth is relative. And I am finished this this 'arguement'

[Lena]

this wedding gown its unbelivably tacky and so is the Vogue cover..
bad taste attack, for 2005

Everyone is surprised that US Vogue sucks?

 

[Fashion Puss]

As a girl based in London, there are moments that I am pleased that Anna Wintour went to US Vogue. I look forward to getting my GB Vogue, but I simply cannot stand the celebrity-obsessed world of US Vogue. Isn't Vogue meant to be a fashion publication? These celebrities do not do fashion, they have someone to tell them what to wear.

Just because Don Trump has got himself a "new wife" is neither here nor there. Pick a number between 0 and 1 (i.e. 0.00025) - that is how much I care.

The dress looks like it has gone through a lawn mower.

I for certain, will not be buying a US Vogue this month, or any month. If I wanted to know what celebs were up to, then I would buy a copy of Hello!

I shall just hope and pray that Alexandra Shulman never catches the celebrity bug that Anna has.

Melanie Knauss $100,000 dress

THE DRESS OF THE YEAR

MELANIA KNAUSS vetoed her husband-to-be, Donald Trump's plans to broadcast their January 22 wedding on live television because some things should remain private. She doesn't mind who sees the dress though. The 34-year-old Slovenian model, who was accompanied by US Vogue's Andre Leon Talley and Sally Singer to the Paris Couture shows last year to buy her trousseau, is featured on the cover of the February issue in a white satin Christian Dior gown made from 300 feet of material and embroidered with 1,500 crystal rhinestones and pearls. Estimated to have cost in the region of $100,000, it is thought to be one of the most expensive wedding dresses ever made. Keen to capitalise on advertising revenue potential by broadcasting his third wedding, 58-year-old Trump has kept his business savvy high on the agenda in the run-up to his romantic day. He was rumoured to have negotiated a half-price deal for a £1.5 million engagement ring from Graff in return for the publicity. His future wife wants to keep the celebrations, which will happen at Trump's Mar-a-Lago villa in Palm Beach, Florida, open to invited guests only however and it seems she has spared no expense in the preparations; details include invitations made by Tiffany & Co and a five-foot-high, Grand Marnier-flavoured wedding cake. And Knauss, who has been advised to eat well before the wedding so she is strong enough to wear the dress and will sit on a bench rather than a chair to cater for its volume, doesn't want to change a thing. "I like him the way he is," she said, when advised by Tom Ford to persuade Trump to do something about his much mocked sweep-over. "Yes, Donald, you are lucky," concludes US Vogue.
