Thank you. It's nice they included a few models...

Lara stone was the most terrible, but vogue paris is so un-objective and love so much lara, that they put her 2 horrible poses in BIG and forgot the other models that were 10000000000 times better. oh please!

^^ Why was Laura so bad? I have no opinion on her, but I was wondering why you thought that...

 

[Prescott]

Personally, I have no problem with Lara. She's just not the VS type of girl, that's all.

And in those two pics they chose, she looks amazingly hot

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

i am just thinking why vogue paris is so obsessed with lara.. she was the worst at VS and they used her to present VS event on their magazine... her outfits were terrible too

 

[Prescott]

I think the Black & White "outfit" looked great...

 

[HighMaintenance]

^ I don't have a problem with Lara either but she is def no VS-material! the pictures aren't so great and don't forget how she walked the runway. she was a ice queen.. no smile nothing.. probably they want to give her some credit..why? I don't know.. maybe she's doing a big *** shoot for vogue and they want to promote her? I don't know..

though I don't fancy her that much.. I think it's a good thing they put a non-angel in the spotlight!

 

[rouge_red]

Yeah she isn't a VS model. But honestly, why should Vogue care at all about VS? It is, even though I love it, mostly trashy lingerie with wavy, smiley, average models (no ofeense, but I think that's what appeals to the masses but not to the fashion editor) and has nothing to do with "normal" couture. So it is something special that they even gave two pages to the show at all. And that they then chose Lara who they love, who has a facial expression the magazine is used to and a model who care a lot about and who is an amazing fashion model - well, I think it's pretty understandable

 

[Prescott]

What I was actually surprised about is that instead of the US version, the French magazine did this spread...

Technically, me too, but it's a well known fact that Carine, the editor-in-chief of VP, loves VSFS, she's attended the show at least once, whereas Anna Wintour, as far as I know, really doesn't like VSFS.

 

[Prescott]

Oh, I see... That's a shame, though, 'couse I'd love to see a multiple paged spread with VS.

 

[TeeKay]

regardless of who's on those two pages.
i dont like how it's laid out at all.

Well as far as I know Carine loves Lara too.. maybe it explains why there were two shots of Lara.

 

[FRANCY ITALY]

^ indeed that's what i said she is obsessed with lara, who is the non VS model par excellance..
so in those 2 pages, many other better modes for VS could be chosen, for example those ones that work for them since years

 

[rouge_red]

Well, why should they if they don't fit the aesthetic of the normal VP-reader? Honestly, why on earth should VP care about who works a lot for Vs and who doesn't? they just want a few nice pics and if there are models they like that's even better for them. And honestely, Lara looks amazing in those two pics.

I agree but I still think they should've taken one pic of Lara and the other pic of another model..

apparently the anti-VS par excellance Vlada was chosen and then she got dropped - thanks God! a dead on the runway wouldn't be so good
