Vogue Italia September 2007 : Agyness Deyn by Steven Meisel

[Annu]

However, soldiers and war are sensitive topics for most around the world; I for one just hate seeing the two mixed into fashion, since they really have no place there.

I don't like idea either

 

[kuba01]

the idea is LAME. its not innovative or shocking-its just LAME.

oh and they absolutely destroyed the Cavalli dress with mud and dirt - whats the point of showing it- it doesnt market the clothes!, its just there to make Meisel look all 'genius'.

I love him most of the time- but this time, he really really created a faux-pas

I think that soldier and war are to do with our culture and what we stand for, that relates to fashion... but I do understand its controversy though... for me it works though.
Getting people to talk is what we need in fashion right now.

I dont think Dunstall.. nah has to be stegner

 

[tigerrouge]

I think there's a side to "the creative arts" that will always use war in ways that are inappropriate. I've lost count of the 'artistic' representations of the conflict in my own country (Northern Ireland) that have been created purely so an overseas audience could experience a vicarious thrill at the sight of landmines, watchtowers and bad men with big guns, none the wiser to what it was really like. For me, it's always been this way, so I can't get excited at a backdrop suggestive of Iraq, where Meisel plays with toy soldiers. Every historical conflict suffers the same fate - where creative liberties are taken with something that in truth, is dark and dirty, and no place for Givenchy or Chanel.

I haven't seen this in stores yet, is this the normal time it comes out? I never really pay these magazines much attention in store since I subscribe to some others, but now I'm getting my hands on the sept. Vogue issues in store and thought they would be out by now.

why doesn't have Sweden a Vogue?

 

[alix*]

I hate the idea. Just army and fashion doesn't mix. And it's such a touchy subject too.

And Agyness got the cover cause she does what she does best, looking like a guy

 

[Jeisa_]

exactly what I meant..but Raquel's ed looks ok a bit boring imo but mhm

 

[OlgaKorbut]

why doesn't have Sweden a Vogue?

No thanks. Vogue Sweden would be a disaster. And I guess it would never work out financially if they were to keep a decent standard. Hello re-prints! I'm actually quite surprised that countries like Greece, with an equally small population, have their own edition of Vogue. There have been rumors of a Scandinavian Vogue, though, but it's just loose talk, as far as I know.

I like the cover, visually. The theme doesn't bother me, but I don't find it that interesting or thought-provoking either.

 

[Jeisa_]

it's not very fashion imo and the I didn't even noticed the dress on the first view..I thought fashion is in the foreground and is top priority

 

[kuba01]

^^^ yes I agree! Vogue Italia is a FASHION magazine. It's not TIME magazine and it shoudn't be glamourizing war or America - because this is what I feel it is doing

ps. its a Prada COAT - not a dress

 

[Jeisa_]

sorry I forgot what it was again^^

 

[*DiamondQueen*]

this is not the type of cover i like...the male models look like soldiers to me and I don't think that has to do something with fashion.

 

[Sweet rus]

I love everything I have seen so far! Can't wait to see the scans!

 

[telicious]

^ I agree with kuba, war should not be glamourized in any way, shape, or form. It is indeed a serious topic which should be treated this way. However, taking a fashion perspective, I think the cover is creative one. Kind of like last years Meisel editorial with 9/11-security influences.

I also wish they used another model. Agyness is fine, but I find her a bit overexposed as of late. She's absolutely everywhere and I think everyone needs a little breather from her!!!
