Vogue Italia July 2010 : Christy Turlington by Steven Meisel

[Mchunu]

I think the main problem that I have Kirsi's editorial is that it's shot digitally (Roversi has been shooting digitally a lot more these days, which is probably the reason for his abundance lately). Roversi's work that I'm most familiar with and a fan of, is usually about his mastery of traditional, meticulous photographic processing. In many ways stylistically, it's very much like Tiiu's editorial, A Poetic Spirit. Stylistically, it has the same elements; they both have a look made regal by the styling, drapery decorative backdrop and vignetted light. However, it's so different because there's no special touch, no intimacy. The focus is so sharp, showing you every intricate detail-there's no spirit, no omnipresence, it's just what it is-just fashion; and for me, that’s where it becomes less interesting. When he was working with film, you could see the process so much more, therefore you could see the care.

Throughout the editorial, Kirsi's expression does have range, it's just very subtle, just like Tiiu. Their consistency makes it all the more about the garments because that's what Roversi does-create beautiful portraits of beautiful gowns and dresses, which is why he does wonders for couture. Kirsi does a good job; I always love how Roversi brings out this beautiful humbleness of whoever he photographs. But I think that this, like most of his work lately, lacks that silent passion that has became his style.

Boy, that's a lot of black and white and part of the beauty ed is B&W as well, but VI has also featured a lot of B&W so I should not be all that surprised.

 

[Melly5525]

So far the best thing about the issue is the cover, Im a sucker for Christy, her beauty is timeless, and i love the 60s vintage look of the styling.

 

[tigerrouge]

I think I say this every summer, but I miss the days when they used to produce a cover shot for the runway supplement that echoed the theme of the main cover. These days, you usually get some forgettable design effort, rather than a second dose of some great model.

 

[SnejanaIsMyMuse]

I must agree. At times I feel as though the effort put into things has dwindled in recent years. Nonetheless, I am eager to see what this issue has to offer.

 

[Riseup]

This is ugly and boring, next issue please..lol...i know i'll be saying the same thing for a long time if Meisel continues to deliver this kind of crap every month...sad.

 

[Kanna]

Looks like another boring issue VI has been so boring for last two months, and again this? Maybe I should quit buying VI every month which I have done for 6 years. *sigh*

 

[Mojopin]

me too. i just quit the subscription.

*Yawn* ..
But i guess MCB is the only great thing about this issue, i'm only excited for that then. Thank for posting the review.

 

[pajonk]

[Kanna]

[jeremydante]

mariacarla needs to give the rest of these model chicks a break- she kills it everytime.
