V #49 September/October 2007 : Brad Pitt by Mario Testino

[Royal-Galliano]

actually i meant "im NOT gonna survive..."
we'll see...

 

[La bordélique]

Is the last shoot featuring Lara Stone and... Christian Brylle?! I LOVE it!

 

[MissMagAddict]

More of Agy's edit is up on the vmag website...I'm too lazy to post it now

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

This issue is pretty bad in total. Hopefully Agyness' and Lara's ads are not the only ones because I'd consider skipping this issue, no matter how much I love V!

 

[OriginalSin]

Went to the magazine store today, but they didn't have it. I asked when it would be arriving the guy said tonight most likely but if not tonight then next week

I don't like what I see so far though, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Damn i will never get sick of Brad.

me either...

i hope the eds are better than this, because right now, i'm very disappointed...
although i will buy this for brad (and the ads)...

 

[jackofspades]

Brad in the new Details by Steven Klein is way more interesting than this V Sex Pop bs. Testino is such a bore when it comes to V.

I was on the website and love all the eds. they are really artisic and cool!

 

[eisley]

does anyone know anything about the eds yet? besides what is on the website

 

[kissmesweet]

Agyness is everywhere... and I'm so sick of her.

Daul Kim has an editorial

 

[OriginalSin]

Alright I just got home with the issue! And let me just say this issue is packed. I'm post a review in a moment. I'll also scan as much as I can though I have to scan WWD Beauty first because I promised it to someone yesterday. So just sit tight, be patient, and scans will arrive

Agyness is everywhere... and I'm so sick of her.

You and me both...its not cute anymore Agyness. I'm just excited at the prospect of a few other girls appearing throughout, otherwise this issue will be a wash for me. I love V for always trying to do something different, or at least unexpected, and the previews have just been far from that. There's nothing shocking anymore about Lara being naked, or Agyness making some crazy face.

Though the promise of Daul Kim is certainly exciting!! Cannot wait to hear the review OriginalSin!

"Guess for V Magazine" (10 pgs)
ph. Yu Tsai
Styling: Martina Nilsson
Models: Anne V, Irina S., Eugen Bauder
Notes: this is a sort of advitorial

"New School" (4 pgs)
ph. Sebastian Kim
Styling: Michelle Cameron
Models: Daul Kim, Svetlana K, Alannah Farrell, Anna laryn, Taylor Warren, James Chiles, Nick Rodocroy
Notes: Done in sort of class picture style

"Do You Party?" (2 pgs)
ph. Irina Lazareanu
Design: Julia Restoin-Roitfeld
Models: Freja, Carmen, Lily D, Gemma, Caroline W. Irina, Trish, Lily C., Daria
Notes: This is a bit disappointing. When I first heard about this, I thought it was going to be a more extensive editorial, but instead it's just two pages of somewhat disjointed snapshots put together in paper cutout collage style. It's not bad, but not what I was expecting either.

"Undercover" (4 pgs)
ph. Coppi Barbieri
Styling: Bay Garnett
Model: Jasmine Poulton
Notes: Brief editorial dedicated to fancy schmancy underthings. Model's face not shown.

"So You Want to Be A Model?" (2 pgs)
ph. Paul Rowland
Styling: Nicholas Grasa
Models: Girls from Supreme
Notes: all models stand or sit across the two pages, this might as well be an advertisement for Supreme's model search contest XD

"The Many Lives of Brad Pitt" (12 pgs, incl. 2-page interview)
ph. Mario Testino
Styling: Rachel Zoe

And now for the real fashion editorials

"English Eccentric" (12 pgs)
ph. David Sims
Styling: Karl Templar
Model: Agyness Deyn
Notes: Love her or hate her Agyness really shows off her versatility here. I was certain there was more than one model in this spread But no, all Agyness

"Home Improvement" (16 pgs)
ph. Mario Sorrenti
Styling: Jane How
Model: Lara Stone

"Suddenly Buenos Aires" (20 pgs)
ph. Sebastian Faena
Model: Angela Lindvall
Notes: very cinematic, old glamour Hollywood

"Scenes of the Future" (14 pgs, though two are completely blank except for fashion credits)
ph. Mert & Marcus
Styling: ? I can't find any mention of a stylist
Models: Coco and Kinee
Notes: I really don't know how to describe this, but the photography and colors here remind me of Solve Sundsbo's work

"At Home With Stephanie Seymour" (12 pgs incl. 1 pg article)
ph. Mario Testino
Fashion editor: Brian Malloy
Model: It's obvious no?

"Jean Genie" (8 pgs)
ph. Glen Luchford
Styling: Ana Steiner
Models: Natasa, Kasia, Natasha, Caroline T., Hilary, Elise, Diana Dondoe, Missy
Notes: Very soft, lighting typical of Luchford's work

"Fergie in the Crystal Palace" (8 pgs)
ph. Karl Lagerfeld
Styling: Bay Garnett and Anita Pallenberg
Model: Again, obvious, no?
Notes: Sort of flashy, lots of crystal. I hate to insert my personal opinion here but Karl Lagerfeld should just put the camera away

"The Body Electric" (8 pgs)
ph. Will Davidson
Styling: Panos Yiapanis
Model: Malgosia

"Young Bloods" (6 pgs)
ph. Terry Tsiolis
Styling: Mattias Karlsson
Models: Mina, Bruna, Kasia, Oxana, Magdalena, Jenny Sweeney, Olga S., Elsa S. Dylan, Sean O., Diana Moldovan, Antony Cuelenaere. Henzo Hulle-Tiussi
Notes: your typical "here are the models to look out for" editorial

"Natural Selection / Leather Forever / In Living Color" (6 pgs)
ph. KT Auleta
Styling: Brian Malloy
Models: Jon Kortajarena, Siri, Behati, Jana K, Laila K, Taylor Fuchs
Notes: Not exactly sure what the name of this editorial but it's basically showcasing fur and fringe, leather, and bright colors (hence the three different titles)

And there's other stuff of course -- 1 page features here and there, a 6 pg feature on the Underwear Powerhouses, and a 4 page feature on Ralph Lauren.

"So You Want to Be A Model?" (2 pgs)
ph. Paul Rowland
Styling: Nicholas Grasa
Models: Girls from Supreme
Notes: all models stand or sit across the two pages, this might as well be an advertisement for Supreme's model search contest XD

^Well I'm sold. For those two pages alone I'd buy it.

I just wish that this whole 'Young Bloods' editorial would have be a tad more creative in the casting. This is the second editorial in a row featuring Magdalena Frackowiak, Olga Sherer, Kasia Struss, and Diana Moldovan; and yet I'm still supposed to consider them the young bloods?

Congrats Taylor!

Wooooo thank you! By the way how many pages is the complete issue? is it pretty thick? I can' wait to get it!

 

[Manuva]

Hmm Stam was meant to be in Irina's editorial.
Looking forward to Olga and Diana though.

The 'Do You Party?' casting is so predictable, I'm really tired of Lily Donaldson and Freja. Gemma should be great though!
