US Vogue October 2009 : Michelle Williams by Mario Testino

[tigerrouge]

I wrote in once to complain about something, and they printed the letter. I figured that there was less chance of them disregarding my words if I said I was American. I was writing from Beverley Hills, to be precise - a place I've only ever seen on TV - when I was really sitting in my kitchen in Ireland, penning 40 words of truthful opinion under the guise of a fictional identity.

I love the letters page.

Anyways, I think the editorials in this issue are stunning. I love the Burton one. I will be buying this issue for sure.

You are talking about Bazaar, right?

You are talking about Bazaar, right?

Whoops! I guess that will happen when you are when two treads at the same time.

That is priceless!!!

 

[honeycombchild]

That's great, I love it.

I think it's good they do have a letter's page. UK Vogue doesn't have one does it? Actually come to think of it, I can't think of many British editions of magazines that do print letters.

 

[Filipe]

I think all the Vogues should have that.

 

[tigerrouge]

I wrote a letter to UK Vogue, and Alexandra Shulman wrote back - she took the time to reply personally in a letter through the post - and she also replied to a Spanish friend, so it wasn't just her British readers that she responded to.

I once got a letter printed in Harper's Bazaar, but I didn't go under any alternate identity that time.

I like the way I spelled Beverly Hills wrong in my post above, I'm guessing I didn't do that in my email to US Vogue, or else I might have been rumbled as an imposter of an American woman.

 

[honeycombchild]

Ahhh it was an e-mail? Nicely done.

I was wondering how you'd faked the US post mark. I had all sorts of ideas about elaborate potato printing.

 

[tigerrouge]

Oh, I've done that before on a letter and it convinced the person, but that's a whole other story.

When writing to editors, I think a respectful piece of feedback (criticism or praise) will probably get read, and who knows what response anyone may get in return?

 

[RiskyRiksh]

eww she looks like that girl tavi... she's soo beautiful just not in this one...

Exactly what I thought from the first glance of the cover.

 

[lavender blue]

It's nice to see Michelle on the cover but it's not nice to see the cover.
The editorial along with it is much better-is she promoting Shutter Island?

^yeah right 'cause what kind of editor will publish a feedback from the readers that isn't worth publishing and that has a non-sense feeling in it? i always think of writing a letter to US Vogue but every time i'm in front of an electronic white blank paper (MS Word) to make a draft of my letter, i couldn't properly think of what i am going to write.

^ Same here! Is this out in Asia?

 

[loladonna]

If Vogue is going to re-use the same girls over and over at least find stunning models with memorable, enviable faces.I used to want to look like the supermodels in magazines. Now I think why would I want to look like Caroline, Karlie or Sasha? I'm sick of weird or blank-slate models. Get some really stunners for a change!

The images are beautiful. The story is very good ...

But is that something they shot in 2009 ?
I mean Monfils in a 2CV makes NO sense, at all, to me.
And all the styling screams NewLook.

I re-love Vogue US for seasons now - coz I've learned to re-appareciate Wintour's mind. But I just hate wen they go soooooo clichés everytime they shot out of a studio and out of USA ....

While you think they represent youth and diversity. They found a 2CV ?
I love the 2CV, but that's not what we drive in France for about ....... 30-40yrs ....... Except when you go onto the beach with your grandpa' - that's what i did when i was a kid on vacation at my grand parents' beach-house ...


But in a whole this story is like a Proustian Madeleine ......

I love Phoebe article.

Why are you guys complaining about karlie? I think shes a great model. She brings something different, I mean for example you guys have seen Natalia with stunning and almost perfect face, but karlie brings a different kind of beauty which is great.

I would never get tired of karlie, I would love to see more work from her in us vogue.
