Vogue Paris April 2020 : Marion Cotillard by Lachlan Bailey

The revisionism regarding Roitfeld and her work at Vogue Paris is interesting to me.

I remember many TFS posters voicing their displeasure with her tenure as EIC of Vogue Paris during the last 2 or 3 years of her employment. Besides, in this overly politically correct time we live in, Carine's vision of high fashion as primarily p*rno chic would not stand a chance from either the management of Conde Nast or the attention starved fools on social media.

As for current day Roitfeld and the merits of her work, just look at the abomination that is CR Fashion Book...

It’s always like that isn’t it?
Carine was a great EIC for VP. As inexperienced as she was at first, she did great and her work was memorable. After a decade, it was fair for people to expect something new from VP. The early 2010’s with the scandals around the fashion industry and it excess almost expected for Carine to be out from the publication.

VP was the epitome of decadence, luxury, excess. The 2010’s were about minimalism, realism or a certain idea of post-modernism. It all made sense culturally with Galliano leaving Dior or even Balmain at Decarnin and the rise of Phoebe Philo and Margiela/Lang being elevated to god-like status.

Fashion can only love what it used to hate. In this very political and sensible times, people wants romance, excess, decadence because it all evokes a time when things seemed « easier ». The nostalgia will elevate VP by Carine to an even bigger cult.
People will always love Tom Ford for Gucci, Galliano at Dior, early to mid 00´s Versace or Cavalli...etc. Not necessarly because it was great but because it evokes « happier times ». I personally don’t think the 90’s or 00´s were great times to live in but the nostalgia will make you think it was so perfect.

But one thing is sure, fashion was more fun and the desire to push creativity was stronger in the 00´s because it was a time when taking risks paid off.
 
The magazine said it’s already out on the site but I personally can’t view it...
they announced it on thei insta too
Don’t know why it doesn’t work
 
All for seeing French actresses on the cover of Vogue Paris! It's just an added bonus that this cover works so beautifully, love the sense of luxurious comfort (especially given the current pandemic across the globe) and should've known Lachlan Bailey would've done Marion Cotillard justice.
 
VP under Carine was good not only because she was the EIC, Fabien Baron was behind the art direction between 2003-07.
Yes, it was a great team overall. Emmanuelle was the EIC of 20ans before she came to VP. Carine was just a stylist, a consultant and a key figure in the industry...
Carine knew nothing about being an editor and I think it was her strength. She just brought who she considered were the hottest French stylists at the time. It was about having the best people to do a magazine because it wasn’t common to have a stylist as an EIC of such a big publication before. And maybe that’s what made her magazine so daring...

It’s like Anna, Franca or Liz at the beginning. American Vogue was a fabulous magazine before 2008. It has been on survival mode for a decade.

Emmanuelle is great but she is a safe bet now. Her Vogue standout because it’s strong in what some of the other Vogue weaknesses. Marion laying on a bed looking glamorous with « numéro deux charme » as a text could never appear on US or UK Vogue.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it mentioned somewhere here in TFS that the April issue will also be free for download?

Not a bad issue. It seems better than the March issue. I especially love the I&V ed.
