Share with us... Your Best & Worst Collections of Haute Couture F/W 2025.26
Thanks Benn for the review! This does seem like a throwback issue of US Vogue which makes me nostalgic. Definitely looking forward to it. I can’t help but feel bummed about the page count though. 102 pages?! That’s anemic even for January!
Only a pleasure! I sort of typed it in between cooking, and only saw that I wrote a whole bloody essay when I posted it. Like the ones @Bertrando3 used to write back in the day whenever someone came for Coco Rocha or Tyra.Oh well.
I'm not going to take issue with your logic, because most of your points here are valid. My bigger concern is the narrative framing that Priyanka is some sort of criminally egotistical mastermind (see: that egregious article that was pulled from The Cut) and Nick is just some innocent bystander under her spell. I'm not saying you personally hold this point of view (I don't believe you do) but it reeks of "snake charmer" orientalism. Whether or not she wants to churn the PR machine is her call, but why the complete demonization of the woman while the man gets a pass?
No, we won’t see. The new casting director is Jill DemlingNote for anyone who's interested: Helena Suric, who was the Bookings Director at US Vogue from 2013 till November of this year, posted on Instagram recently that this was one of her last issues that she worked on. I'm not sure who the new Bookings Director is but I wonder if we'll see any changes to the models/celebrities cast in the magazine starting in February/March.
