Overall, a quite beautiful issue. I don't get the controversy either...Karlie still looks like herself. They did not try to make her look like someone else.
If i was Anna, i would never work with her anymore. It's hypocrite and unprofessional.

I really love the womens designer ed. I always love those types of things from US VOGUE.

 

[xoxoadore]

People these days got upset for anything. So white/black people can't dress as geisha anymore? Asian women can't wear western clothes?
I agree that i would have loved it if Tao Okamoto was casted for that edit but come on, Karlie being in this doesn't mean it's irreverent to Japanese culture. Actually Japanese people love it when people from other countries wear their kimonos, yukatas and stuffs.
Jeezz

I think it's also about exposure and opportunities. White models have always had more opportunities than other races, then Vogue decides to make an ed like this and hires a white model? Where is the space for PoC then? Not even in their own culture? That's why I think it's wrong, how can you celebrate diversity by just merely taking another culture's traditions and exposing them not even with someone that actually comes from that culture

So just like, 4 eds?

Eh, I would actually say it's very much professional! Only Kate Moss can get away with that 'don't complain, don't explain' schtick. For modern models with whiney followers to please, that is a luxury. Karlie felt compelled to cough up that statement because she got grief from her followers. The ones keeping her popular. There's more at stake for her public brand than there is for Vogue, after all.

So I find it odd that you call HER hypocritical anfd unprofessional. Anyway, it's only an apology made to silence the SJWs, so no big harm.

Ditto, stop y´all with the race card and all, come on it´s JUST fashion and images, they can dress the models and use the makeup they want and hire the models who fit the stories the best.



Indeed lol but Gigi has proven herself to be great at moving, she still does not know how to work her face but I guess she´ll be learning but Kendal however is hopeless for me. She could not save herself with a photo: she is NOT a chameleon and does not emote anything. Whether the fashion world tries to make her happen, she will be forgotten when the next wave of girls shows up. People in fashion will remember Linda Evangelista, Raquel Z, Carmen Dell´ Orefice, Coco Rocha or Naomi Campbell because they truly bring something to their images: they bring fire, poses, energy, face, body. Jenner brings blank face and boring poses and a lazy attitude with blind followers. NEXT!

LOL Totally agree. Kendall means nothing to me with her same awkward smile on every singel cover from the beginning to the end. Gigi changes a little bit since she workd with Steven Meisel and i think she is more fashionable than Kendall.

And no matter what era we're in, we should never underestimate the commercial appeal of a young, blonde woman.

then it's about racism not even culture appropriation anymore

 

[xoxoadore]

^one isn't exactly independent from the other, of course this is racist, but by the very fact that they decided to use a white model and appropriate another culture

 

[Lola701]

I've always been quite perplexed about this cultural appropriation thing. I have a hard time to understand it maybe because it seems to be quite a subject in America as much as it is here. I have the feeling that everything is about cultural appropriation and race there.

If Karlie wearing japanese inspired clothes in a japanese setting is cultural appropriation, then having a russian inspired collection modelled by anybody else than russian models or non-white models is also cultural appropriation.

I really want to understand how this is disrespectful to the japanese culture. Everything is amplified with social media...
That means that there's a need for an official rule about using models for certain things.

It's not like American Vogue is a hardly diverse magazine. I'm confused.

It would have been even more controversial if a chinese model instead of a japanese model was hired for the job.

I feel like it's becoming more and more difficult to do something in fashion today. Everything turns into a controversy. It's insane!

 

[Starry]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned but this issue goes back to the bigger-sized format they have done for May and September issues last year...

Guess this year's September issue will also use this size...

What's up with the magazine layout of the Raquel/Prada photo? Her face is right in the middle of the spine - she looks like a cyclops

I saw that!! Too much pressure to see the image clearly may damage the spine, so I just flipped right past the image.

 

[vogue28]

Just got my copy today and I can honestly say that I absolutely hate the larger format Vogue now insists on switching to for certain issues. It's horrible, feels like an issue of US Harper's Bazaar in the hand and just screams cheap marketing tool to attract readers - no significance to the actual magazine whatsoever.

I have, however, fallen in love with the photograph of Vanessa Axente and Imaan Hammam by Olivier Hadlee Pearch from Moment of the Month! Plus, reading Anna's tribute to Franca Sozzani was lovely!
