Vogue Italia June 2008 : Linda Evangelista by Steven Meisel
- Thread starter polosia
- Start date
It's not Linda's age, it's just "her" - vacant, dumb-looking, same old mouth-slightly-parted-doe-eye expression....bad in the 90s and bad today. 
My preferred regal older model would be Christy Turlington. I think she has more character and more soul.
This emptiness in Vogue Italia I think is the problem of all the Vogues - put a model bent over (like with a stomach-ache) in "haut couture"-looking clothes in a garden of some aristocratic mansion with a big flower in the bouffant hair, voila, Vogue!
Put 8 of these same models in the same mansion on the cover with a double spread - Voila! A Vogue Extravaganza!
Pity as Vogue Italia is the most daring of them all.
There's much more excitement elsewhere, Numero, for example.

I like Linda's editorial, the cover is boring though. I agree, that it does look like a bad Ralph Lauren ad. But her editorial is really nice. I didnt like this issue too much, didnt pick it up at the newsstand.
Second this request. I forgot for a minute that that ed was in this issue. Pretty please someone scan it

Bump!
After a total of eleven years, I can finally say that I own this issue! I distinctly remember seeing this issue when it was out back in 2008 and putting it back on the shelf to save myself for the upcoming black issue, which we'd already seen on the forums by the time this issue had arrived in the UK.
What on earth was I thinking? This is total gem of an issue, purely based off Meisel's cover feature alone - could stare at Linda emulating a wealthy New York socialite for hours. The editorial is pure perfection, from the pleasure of witnessing Linda's stellar modeling ability to the decadent surroundings of the location and the styling from Andrew Richardson to the addition of the pugs.
This issue is, unfortunately, a far cry from what we're now reduced to with Vogue Italia in 2019. A real shame - but at the very least we're fortunate enough to look back and reflect on the good old days, right?

Aracic, some of the pictures are only thumbnails and some have a watermark. Do have it clean? Thank you
Oh, sorry about that! I never noticed. Thanks for bringing my attention to those watermarks. Here's the clean version:
