I received it this morning.
I like the cover (even if Daria's hair and face look weird).
I love Raquel's ed and Sasha by McDean.
Malgosia's pics are great too.

Oh I can't wait to see some scans.

 

[Milho]

hahaha, Diorette, it seems everybody has been waiting for your show, including me of course

I LOVE Raquel's ed! I especially love the shot of her flipping the PETA people off!

 

[Bahiyya]

^ Sorry but I really don't have time to scan today.

Ooh, that's ok, you're always so good about it that you deserve to relax once in a while .

 

[|PerfectTonight|]

I love how the photographers utilized Daria's features to the max. Her face has never looked this good and normally I'm not interested in her appearance. I like the fact that there is a contrast between a hard, almost undertoned softcore edge to her classic/clean-lined featurette/styling.

wow the cover looks even better in HQ! thank you Dieselmax
i love raquel's ed. can't wait to see the rest.

 

[eword]

^ are we talking about the same model? 'her classic/clean-lined featurette/styling'? daria?

 

[TomFordforGucci]

Tehehe, I love the sense of satire in Raquel's editorial

 

[montrealm]

^ can't wait to see some other scans

why does vogue paris bore me so much? Terry's ed looks like one of those street style pics without any real interest, and I don't expect the rest of the eds to be any better. I've always thought that many times controversy is just a way of deviating attention from the real problem, in this case, it seems that they're trying to make up a bad issue with a few laughs. I quite like the idea of Raquel's ed, and it looks good, but one ed is not enough...

 

[hfgl]

Raquel's editorial looks puuurfect!Very excited.

 

[cette fille]

oooh, i cant wait to see sasha's ed!

 

[MulletProof]

haha what`s really funny, but i dont think, what everyone will get the idea and irony, cause most of the people has bad sense of humor

what makes you think irony is still so intricate for 'everyone'?, I would say it's the most recurrent.. wh*re of our time, especially in fashion publications ran by 80s/90s-obsessed editors who can't get past controversy, shock, dirt, and whatever was debatable and outrageous growing up with your post-war parents as their life-saver theme for an otherwise uninspired month that can't include the new shape or new names because you already covered that last month. sorry, but the intention and provocation as you called it is crystal clear in the story and far from challenging not even to the most conservative or anti-fur principles, there's nothing to 'get' other than the fact that Vogue and its editors are not particularly known for being the pioneers of wit and sense of humour.. not even for a good comeback on an organization that's become so vulnerable and irresistible to mock at.. this is just as dumb and simple-minded as the idiots parading and sneaking into fashion shows instead of spreading knowledge or generating questions in places of trascendence.

 

[unipine]

^i agree. provocation for the sake of provocation is boring. a middle finger to PETA... how original. the intention is so obvious that it's not even worth having an emotional response to.

 

[*ana*]

i agree that the provocation is pretty clear. i don't necessarily want something absolutely new and harder to understand in a fashion editorial though, i want beauty, a bit of sense of humor, good styling and good poses - and it seems, from what i've seen so far, that i'll get all of this from that ed. it just doesn't get much better than that in the other vogues, vogue italia used to be great but nowadays the furthest they go is eva mendes showing her boobs with her legs open. i think that if you're not going to be over innovative at least take nice pictures with good styling, it's 10 issues per year, they can't over innovate in each issue because they can't go too far, they need to sell. that's why i loved that ed. but of course, to each their own.

daria looks old on that cover!
