Vogue Nippon August 2007 : Jessica Stam by Craig McDean

[julesrules815]

For some reasonm, the cover reminds me of the Prada ads from a while back with Diana Dondoe. I think it was SS 2005

I love this cover! Orange, green and Stam are all my favourites, though, so I guess I'm a bit biased.

I was trying to figure out which cover it looked exactly like...I think the colors look a lot better with Vlada but they didn't ask my opinion.

 

[Blanche DuBois]

awful cover!

 

[ysljunkie]

she looks older than usual

 

[BaroqueRockstar]

i love the cover! who's the photographer?

I was thinking, do certain colours have any significance to Japanese people, that we might not pick up on, but which mean something when used on a cover? For instance, take the example of red being a lucky colour in China.

A quick look at wikipedia suggests that the colour green, when spoken as 'ao', has an association with youthfulness in the Japanese language. Given the intricacies of the Japanese language and culture, there could be all sorts of hidden meanings in the colour scheme.

It's so funny that Vogue Nippon seems to be in such a rush! August! What's the hurry?

I like her face in the cover. Stam's makeup and expression is nice. The styling and coloring isn't however. Still glad to see Stammy though.

Craig McDean as usual.

You make some interesting points, I never thought about that.
