eds:
"gwyneth takes paris" by mario testino, styled by tonne goodman. gwyneth in the best of couture...you can see the pics at style.com. she looks happy, healthy, glowing.
"scotland yards" by mario testino. at home with model stella tennant. one of my favorite models ever, she looks fantastic here, posing among her children and husband. cutest pic: she in a martin margiela trench, her kids in burberry trenches.
"made for walking" by arthur elgort. lisa cant pics up where caroline trentini left off...cute floral frocks photographed outside. rather boring.
also:
index: flight plan: jacquetta wheeler shows you how to take off for 48 hours and still look chic (paris, tuscany, the mountains, and manhattan)
"class, pictured" inside the world of vuitton, portrait of marc jacobs with his team by norman jean roy.
"super brides," portraits by jonathan becker. the trials and tribulations of three (socialite) brides: plum sykes (in alexander mcqueen), eleanor lembo (in zac posen), and vanessa von bismark (in derek lam).
"rapunzel calling" portrait of ruslana by craig mcdean. the cult of long hair.
beauty: iman and liya kebede talk shop
view: couture report 7 pg.
life with andre: claire danes, star of "shopgirl"
girl of the moment: jennifer connelly
trend of the moment: narciso rodriguez
people are talking about: jason schwartzman, of shopgirl
verdict: as visually stimulating as the gwyneth paltrow ed is (much better than her last vogue appearance), the rest of this issue falls miserably flat. unless you're a fan of lisa cant (or gwyneth), i'd say skip it. 1.5 out of 5.
