US Vogue September 2008 : Keira Knightley by Mario Testino

[cato.]

Does Steven Klein ever shoot anywhere but his own house? Hello girls, let's go out to the pool...that's it...gorgeous...work it... SNORE.

Keira Knightly needs to fire (or possibly set fire to) whoever styled her hair for the cover. And the eyebrows? Darlin' - it's called a pair of tweezers. Seriously.

HAHA OMG I love you. B)

how many 'real' (without ads..) pages it have?

124

Catherine, she kills the editorial for me.
The idea of it, is great and Isabeli looks just in the zone.

Seriously the worst job of trying to photoshop in the Vogue font behind Keira's head.

^^Hahah strangely enough i can zoom out Catherine there lol.

And yes, Vogue's Art Director could totally learn a thing or two from our members and their fake covers in the Challenge thread.

I can't wait to get this! The cover is terrible, and I actually like Keira, which tells you how bad it is...

I know I'm just saying what everyone else has said, but man, this cover is awful Her hair is just....a mess and I'm so tired of Keira on Vogue covers. I'm really excited by the contents, though, the editorials look so promising.

I love it! Thanks!

I like all the eds but the cover is horrendous. I didn't know Keira had been on the cover before though...I do wish they would pick someone a little out of left field before the year finishes though.

I find the editorials quite boring actually.

Compared to last Septembers issue, this one falls flat. At least last year they had the whole tie in with the Valentino show in Rome. That was interesting.

Plus, the Meisel editorial in Paris was superb.

So far, I'm disappointed with this issue. It could have been any other month. They didn't really pull out all the stops for this issue in my opinion

Sasha and Cocos look amazing

The hair looks like something Odile Gilbert would do.. I kinda like it.. it gives that overexposed collection a more decadent feeling.
I actually like all of it.. I'm probably in an ultra-positive mood today but I'm sure the reaction would be dramatically different is there was a tiny 'Paris' somewhere between the O letter in "Vogue"..

the content also looks like it could rival any other magazine's content (maybe not Another Magazine but easily Número) and that's saying a lot for US Vogue's standards...

I wonder how bad were last year's sales for September issues that made publications work extra hard this time around.. looks like everyone's on a fierce contest for delivering outstanding material.. and I couldn't be happier. or poorer.

^Well, Numero's pretty much over, wonder if it will even be around in a year or two.

True though, I'm seeing more feeling and life in this issue (and the last) than in a good long while. But the cover though, the cover....

 

[mikel]

Kleins ed looks very good.

 

[ad032915]

Cat looks beautiful! i'm gonna buy it even though the cover is offensive just because she's in it!

 

[TheItGirl]

The cover is awful: Keira's wearing one of my favorite outfits of the season but the hair screwed up everything... But the eds look good.

 

[LanvinLover]

Very boring... yawn
