Very Elle France Spring/Summer 2008 : Amber Valletta

ELLE ON EARTH: Female icons long have served as the driving buzz factor for women's magazines. Now the Hachette Filipacchi Médias-owned French Elle has spawned an entire magazine devoted to the subject. Dubbed "Very Elle," the first issue of the new biannual glossy, with Amber Valletta on its cover, boasts a run of edgy fashion spreads featuring "It" girls. These include Chloë Sevigny in her New York loft; Charlotte Gainsbourg photographed by her sister, Kate Barry, in a faded rococo French hotel, as well as a shoot starring Rolling Stones offspring Elizabeth Jagger and Theodora Richards frolicking at the Joshua Tree National Park. Features include an interview with Youssef Nabi, director of L'Oréal Paris, as well as a profile of the hip French music video production team Jonas & François. The publication comes in a slightly bigger format than its mother magazine. "The approach is very visual, but there may be more text in the next issue," commented publisher Franck Espiasse-Cabau, who added that the concept may be picked up in other territories. "It's a creative way of working with icons that allows us to work with new photographers and have a different editorial approach than that of our weekly magazine, which is news-sensitive," he said. The title has a print run of 150,000 copies and is priced at 4.90 euros, or around $8. The next issue is set for October.

I would still love to get my hands on a copy of this but I haven't been able to locate it!
 
I managed to get my hands on a copy of it through France's eBay. It was a bit expensive but worth every penny! All the editorials are pretty amazing and I just love Amber Valletta!

I saw it in NYC in that bookstore near Bryant Park I think, along with back issues of about every foreign fashion magazine.
 
Unfortunately, I'm having no luck finding one anywhere in MA. Maybe I'll have better luck with #2!
 
I've never seen this one. Is this like a celeb edition? Amber looks great on the cover.
