Vogue France May 2022 : Hailey Bieber by Karim Sadli

[Phuel]

Vogue France and Vogue Italia have come to represent severe depression in a fashion rag form.

What do they want us to think when we see this issue? I truly don't understand what their goal is. Do any of her 45 billion, or whatever, Instagram followers buy even magazines (the bot followers obviously won't) or even want to engage with Vogue??

AND THAT FOLKS FROM THE WORLD OVER is the very reason I keep saying from the very start and on every thread with an influencer / nepo ''model'' that it's absolutely stupid to hire instagramers / instagirls / influencers or all of the instas**t and instafake people who buy daily followers, stories views, comments just for the sake of feeling famous because ''Everyone wants to be a celebrity''. And the craziest thing is that every major brand, every magazine has fell in this trap and generously gave them:
- space on the runways where real models used to walk,
- on multiple once prestigious magazine covers where real models used to appear
- and pay them to make people think ''these are the stars of tomorrow who influence... not even their grandmother''.

I rest my case your honor and this ''trend'' of the influencers won't stop until people stop believing they are real people lol. I know people like them, I meet them at fashion weeks and fashion parties and they are fake:
- they take photos with outfits changes in the same place, in the bathrooms
- they constantly buy fake comments and likes and so on
- they are miserable coz they don't have real friends
- they get money now for their 15min of fame but what will they do ''AFTER'' when the party is over and the industry and people go after the next younger version of ''that'' ??? Where are their studies, diplomas, dreams, real passions beside money and fake fame? I wouldn't switch my life with theirs in a millions years.

#50 obvious a David Sims rip-off

It's a nice cover. Quite bad that all the pictures show the same profile of her, and of course, the shared content kill the good offering of this month.

Basically one angle for every picture. I’m not mad about the cover, the best since Vogue France

^^^ She’s such a perfect sign of the times.

When Emmanuelle’s Vogue dominated, Hailey was tolerable since it was still a team of highly skilled creatives that cleverly disguised all her weaknesses and utter lack of presence with 80s- tribute looks for her that faintly reminded you of Guess campaigns of that era. Now that the lessers are dominating, her painfully lack of presence is the ultimate WTF: That Paris Hilton side head-tilt with the forced sexy scowl is so comically hollow in Karim’s hands of her for the 99th time in a roll. Even he knows it and attempts to disguise it with the faux-lighting of a PS white gradient— which is a reliable post-production trick that’s equivalent of the Vaseline “soft lens” smear when your subject is an absolute Monet.

There’s no denying that we’re in the lowest of the low fashion era when a generic ModelMayhem talent-thin type is a Super …Weeps...

I once saw a girl dressed as a Cheeto trying to be sultry. This is worse.

 

[BlueRuin]

Wow I just realized she’s only ever photographed on one side lol…

 

[VogueParisMonAmour]

This issue is just so embarrassing. A new low for Vogue France. When will Global Vogue realize that just a pretty cover is not enough?

 

[YohjiAddict]

The original edit may have worked with a decent model like Raquel…but with Hailey, no comment. The other “original” editorial is a retouching disaster, poor Lulu doesn’t even look like herself in half the shots and the styling is clown chic at its worst, that would have NEVER been printed in VP.

Ally Macrae should have been fired

The new team must have an absolute blast putting together an issue of Vogue France, which will now take considerably less time than before, with the shared content strategy. There just seems to be zero effort with every passing issue. Who would have thought French Vogue would loose its soul.

It is just the most embarrassing thing in the history of Vogue, maybe even more than the Farneti/Verderi Vogue Italia. The legacy of Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia has been destroyed and that's the saddest situation ever.
