Vanity Fair September 2015 : Taylor Swift by Mario Testino

[mistress_f]

the attemps of making her as some sort of sexy / sex symbol are just so awkward and lame. next

^agreed. It's all so yawn inducing at this point. Plus I can't imagine Taylor Swift fans and Vanity Fair's readers overlap at all so I'm not sure what they're doing here besides trying to get press.

Once 2015 is over, Taylor better take a seat for the next few years...

That being said, I like her. She's obviously beautiful, but this super-glam/slightly tacky/very harsh aesthetic they're going for does her no favors. She looks awkward and uncomfortable, which I think says more about Testino trying to hard than her shortcomings as a subject.

I love me some Taylor Swift. 1989 was a fantastic album and I love how she's just taken over the world. She works her butt off and has had a tremendously impressive past 12 months.

With that being said, overexposure is starting to set in and I'm sure she's clever enough to notice. She needs to step out of the spotlight for a while and focus on her tour.

This really is the worst Sept Style issue they put out in a long while. Not even interesting profiles or anything!

Vanity Fair doesn't do fashion editorials. Sometimes their September issues will turn their best-dressed list into a photoshoot.

This issue has a story about Dr. Fredric Brandt, and seven-year-old Chanel model Hudson Kroenig (he says, "I have big pecs and I'm lean like daddy")

Portaits by David Downton - Iman, Dita von Teese, Joan Collins, Linda Evangelista, Catherine Denueve, Ines de la Fresange, Stella Tennant, Diane von Furstenberg.

I buy VF for their excellent features and read it from cover to cover (my guilty pleasure on a lazy Sunday morning in bed). That said, I find the best dressed list is infuriating, but their fashion features on designers are more enthralling than say, Vogue, HB or the like.

Vanity Fair is not, and has never been a fashion magazine. Their style features are great tho. Better than any of the fluff pieces usually found in mainstream fashion titles.

I'm a long-time reader of Vanity Fair, and even though the UK version is always a smaller beast, thanks to fewer ad pages, this issue feels particularly bereft of content, for a style issue, and I don't mean in terms of expecting editorials.

I really like that middle shot of Gigi.

I like Taylor's editorial. She always looks great.

I would go further and say this particular best dressed list is downright insulting.
