[aristobrat]

There's a large article on Wendy Deng (Power Partner) by Sally Singer. Coco Rocha, Raquel Zimmermann and Jessica Stam (only in one shot though?) appears in one of the spring eds with Caroline T (Craig McDean).

Karen Elson + Casey Affleck in 50s inspired shoot by Grace Coddington, shot by Mario Testino.

Channing + Caroline - by Steven Klein.

There's also an article on Benazir Bhutto (Power Crisis) by Janine di Giovanni.
Drew Barrymore is 'Power Presence' - odd, she only seems to get two shots.
Barbara Walters is 'Power Player'.
The painter Kristin Baker is 'Power Painter'.
Leighton Meester and Blake Lively are 'Power Princesses', with two shots and an article over two pages!
Stefano Pilati is 'Power of One' (written by Sarah Mower). Actually in the main shots Caroline T is also used...

'Power Houses' is about new designers at fashion houses eg Valentino, Halson, Bill Blass. Liya K is used for the accompanying shots.

'Power Vows' - 8 page spread on Lauren Davis' wedding to Santo Domingo.

Natalia V and Sasha P are in a short feature on jewelry by Plum Sykes (Meisel).

Daria W in a studio editorial by David Sims.

Index:
- Yasmine Penniman (Mika's sister, she's described as an artist)
- Eugenia Gonzalez Ruiz-Olloqui (PR exec)
- Roksanda Illinic
- Zoe Kravitz
- Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann

Btw there's a great Lane Crawford ad over several pages. Black and white, it has Du Juan wearing Maison Martin Margiela and Viktor & Rolf, Maggie Cheung in Nina Ricci and Alexander McQueen as well as other Asian celebrities/personalities.

I actually love this issue!

High five on Zoe, Du Juan, Liya and CHANNINNNNNNGGGGG

I got a bit impatient so I googled her..and her over the top wedding

Throwing a blowout, V.I.P.-laden wedding less than a month after Harvey Weinstein’s outrageous nuptials is a gutsy feat. For Vogue editor Lauren Davis, though, it’s as easy as one, two, three…million dollars. Her January 8 ceremony is going to be held in Cartagena, Colombia, the home country of her fiancé, Andrés Santo Domingo, an heir and music industrialist.
Ms. Davis’ nine bridesmaids will each be dressed by a different designer, Fashion Week Daily reports. Venezuelan-born New York socialite Fabiola Beracasa, for one, will be clad in a Vera Wang number. Tinsley Mortimer? Giambattista Valli, but of course. Coco Brandolini will wear Alberta Ferretti; Tatiana Santo can look forward to donning Derek Lam; and Amy Greenspon is to sport Proenza Schouler.
All the bridesmaids know what they’re wearing, but the design of the bride-to-be’s dress is totes hush-hush. Like the climax in some straight-to-DVD princess movie, Ms. Davis’ “dream fantasy” Nina Ricci gown, designed by Olivier Theyskens, is to remain hidden until its unveiling before the couple’s 400 guests at an evening ceremony.
Flower arrangements are being handled by Raul Avila, who oversees the Costume Institute gala at the Met. Instead of having the food flown in from Per Se or Cipriani, Ms. Davis and Mr. Santo Domingo have decided to go native with the comestibles. After the affair comes to a close, the couple will reportedly kick off their Far East-themed honeymoon in the Philippines. Fireworks and veal in Westport is très passé!

Kinda explains why she got 10 pages, I guess

 

[style_expert]

on a more random note..I just read her Nina Ricci wedding gown is a gift from the fashion house. that's ridiculous considering she's marrying a billionaire

oh well...

 

[mikel]

^indeed. but its great publicity.

 

[maffam]

^she also used to work at carolina herrera, which is owned by the same company that owns nina ricci. she has a longstanding relationship with the brand, and gotten the company loads of press coverage in the past year.

 

[mikel]

^makes sense that she got the dress for free then.

 

[style_expert]

^^ oooh I didn't know that..thanks for the info

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Surprising to see Meisel shoot the cover,but in a good way,we soo need a better quality image of the cover.

 

[eword]

can't wait to see daria!

 

[novella]

DAISY! I love her and it's great to see her on the cover. I agree that it looks like she came out of John Singer Sargent's painting! I hope that Grey Gardens will be good!

Unfortunately it doesn't really look like her in the preview. I can't wait to see Drew's shots though!

Thanks for the great review, Cicciolina! Du, Liya, Daria, Sasha and Maggie Cheung!

 

[maffam]

for those wondering about lauren - she's a longtime vogue favorite. also did pr for j. mendel and carolina herrera, then moved back to vogue as a contributing editor. deals mostly with features about socialites, etc. her relationship with adres got her into the european social scene (casiraghi & co.). she's a big new york party girl with many celebrity, designer and socialite friends, and she's anna's longtime favorite.

 

[eternitygoddess]

sounds like a great issue.I can't wait until someone posts scans.

 

[beautifulboi]

I will be waiting impatiently to see the scans of that wedding !!!!!

 

[SnejanaIsMyMuse]

Fantastic.Now I really feel the need to get this issue ,march elle was a disappointment.

[kwikspell]

Hm. Not as crazy about her expression close up.

 

[novella]

I'm a huge Drewbie but I have to say that her face looks strange on the cover to me...

I hope her other shots are better and that I can find the issue tomorrow!

 

[adorefaith]

i'm surprised by how much i like it..

 

[Label Basher]

Sorry but what have they done to her face. It doesn't even look like her. If we didn't know it was her I would have thought it was some random model.

After Kate Hudson's nose on the Jan cover and now this Anna seriously needs to rethink who she hires to do the re-touching.

 

[iriswills]

yikes!

it's even worse close up...
