US Vogue September 2008 : Keira Knightley by Mario Testino

[leblue15]

The cover: boring and ugly as usual. Dont like the colors. The hair is terrible, it looks greasy and plastered on her head!
The eds: look promising esp. Self reflection, Flights of fancy...Im also happy to se sasha, she looks great.
I thought Ill never say this but caroline looks nice for once in a Us vogue ed, the first one (flights of fancy) looks very beautiful and in self reflection wow at her body.

BTW thx for scanning Alix

American Vogue is such a joke,what the f**k is this?She looks like a boy,and what's with the ugly hair and face expression? The only thing i like is the styling but not on her

Ditto!!

Beside the horrid cover, the contents look really good though!

 

[maffam]

Don't you guys find it kind of ironic that Keira is touted by US Vogue as a 'fashion star' yet everyone knows shes styled by Rachel Zoe, who Anna Wintour famously blacklisted from the MET and notoriously dislikes.

she's actually been styled by leith clark for the past year, not by rachel zoe (although yes she did style her in the past). also - "is fashion racist?" - of the 8 models used not one is of color? i find that incredibly disappointing.

Anna Wintour is pathetic. When, when, was the last time a model that isnt of the new group of them on the cover of this horrible mag? I cant remember because I havent kept up on the production. Anna Wintour shouldnt have a job. US Vogue, yet again, like every month, huge disappointment.

Awful cover - ugly hair, weird makeup and ugly model

But the contents look great.

 

[scriptgirl]

Ok, this is Keira's millioneth Vogue cover. We get it, Anna, you REALLY, REALLY like Keira! I think the colors of that cover are wrong and not all autumny. That said, Keira wears clothes like a model and that is the best Vogue cover ensemble I have seen in a long time. Joe Zee, what's up?

 

[tigerrouge]

The cover's a mess. September and March are issues of US Vogue where I don't care about the cover, only the wealth of content, but it would have been nice to have a nice cover. Keira might not be famous for her off-screen fashion sense, but she's a good-looking girl, and that shouldn't be wasted. We could have had a killer Keira, but she looks like she's dressed in oddments from the floor of an artist's studio.

At least the editorials look well worth it, looking forward to seeing those for real!

 

[Levantar13]

Yes, maybe Anna Wintour should consider spending less time making sure Caroline is jumping and more time picking a good cover. That is, if she does wish to sell more magazines...

 

[hfgl]

Oh GodLosing my mindIt's September US Vogue timeAND both eds with Caroline look amaaaazing!!I will look like such a crazed maniac when i see it on the newstand,dive for it and probably let out a squak of pure bliss...

 

[scriptgirl]

I think Anna's objective is to put as many English stars on the cover as she can

 

[LetThemEatCake]

^^Then she should put Tilda Swinton on the cover! Wait, no, she's too good for US Vogue.

 

[scriptgirl]

Tilda's Scottish, not English.

 

[cold_sun]

Ok Caroline's ed apparently looks amazing Bit dissappointed about Sasha's studio shot & Coco# isnt that innovative either..

Hello everyone... if you don't care for the way Anna Wintour edits US Vogue you are welcome to discuss it in the Tell Anna Wintour How To Improve/Revamp US Vogue thread.

Thank you for the cover image & review *alix

 

[chrisss]

thanks alix! i was about to skip this issue based on the bad cover, then I saw the editorials. caroline looks beautiful!

 

[stefanelle]

Coco's and Sasha's ed seems to be similar for some reason, for me. At least previews. But all eds are better then I expected

 

[Bahiyya]

Keira is really rocking that Balenciaga outfit. I've thought of getting the skirts but the split seems dangerously high. Her hair looks weird but I like Keira so much I'll let it pass.

Vogue US is stepping it up with the eds. Wonder what's caused the change.

I like the cover's overall colour scheme. I don't really need a lot of typical fall colours for every fall cover. Too lame.

 

[Spike413]

I'm kind of shocked that the editorial content looks so good. The Trentini, Sasha and Klein eds look promising.

However, the Amber/Kirsty ed looks unimaginably boring. If you're going to cast two big name gorgeous girls, why not do something amazing?

 

[cul8tr]

Can't wait to see Anna's edd. Thank you alix* for review.
