Vogue Paris Collections F/W 15.16

I really like the vintage vibe this layout is giving me. And it really works on the photo used so I like it! Not sure about the flooded "Les" though.

Great shoot but I don't like the layout

Awful layout, was it necessary fro all those coverlines. I like the shot though, and would even like it as a main cover. They should take a leaf out of China's book when it comes to collection covers.

Nice to see something different.

Wow, wasn't expectin this at all ! Creative, but not very well done :/

Better than their usual messy collages. But what is the point of a special "collections" issue? Given that everything is available online almost immediately after the shows, it just seems like a waste of funds--and paper.

the layout gives me goosebump. so beautiful reminds me of the old magazines I used to own

 

[gossiping]

hate that..it's too abstract

I still love getting Vogue Paris Collections, this cover though is not so good. It's a great shot, but its not the best shot of the season is it. The layout just doesn't work, the best cover they've done was Fall 2014. On a plus note it looks like they've added more contents this season, looking forward to it.

Oh I am really not in mood to think about F/W in April

I dont like this cover but at least it is not typical Collection issue mess

Always been a fan of Vogue Paris Collections, so I won't be passing this issue up for nobody. Maybe I'll be even more willing to part with £30 since the magazine has went under a renovation and is going to provide something a little different this time around. Thanks for posting, MON!

Well I got this issue today (finally) and I have to say I have mixed feeling about the renovation.

It is totally different from what Vogue Paris Collections was before. Now it's more "fun". There is new sections about trends, backstage, beauty and also a article feature of Anna Dello Russo. But these for me, doesn't feel like they belong here in the collection issue. They are more like regular features which should be put in every issue of Vogue Paris, the ADR feature is definitely a go for Une Fille, Un Style.

And for the collections pictures, they changed the style from very catalog-ish to collage-ish. Before it was just the looks from the shows (front angle) but now they also include detail shots, close-ups and back angle photos. And the lay out is more like those trend report section other magazines will do (UK Elle Collections or UK Vogue catwalk session for example). I have mixed feeling for this part the most. Since I pay quite a lot of money to buy this magazine for my fashion show collection I choose Vogue Paris Collections because it provided a rather completed range of shows and their looks in the book so I can collect them as complete as I can. But now, they reduce this part: big shows have 2 page of 15-18 looks each (before it was 4 pages of over 30 looks each), smaller shows have only 1 page. And no short show review now and no designer profile photos.

Indeed, the new layout and arrangement is more fun but it gives less feeling of a collection book for me since it's so expensive. Call me conservative but I would rather to have as many looks as possible for each show. The fun part can leave to other title (I think UK Elle Collections does a good job on this and the price is half of Vogue Paris Collections. Of course I know Elle Collections only have incomplete looks for around 15 shows each issue).

The accessories pages are more or less the same as before.

I took some snaps from the new issue and you can see what I mean by their new layout.

Love it! Something about it spells Departures in a glamorous way of course.

I like the cover pic but that ugly layout ruins it (font included).

Well I may be the only one but I love the cover....

I had a look at this issue today in store and I am disappointed too. To me the appeal of Vogue Collections is like you to have a catalogue of complete collections (as much as possible), no pointless articles or "fun" layouts, so with that changing with this issue, I am reconsidering collecting these at all.. I will have a look at Elle Collections
