thanks for the scans Diorette!

I don't like the calendar cover though, too "playboy-ish" for my taste...

 

[Miss Dalloway]

No other Vogue would pick that shot for the cover image,and i like that but it does NOTHING for me, her eyes are closed, you cant see her or what she has on.I'm also dissappointed with the review, it dosent seem like a great guest-edit issue at all, nothing exciting, blah.

Thanks Diorette for the scans.

for my part i like this cover. but i understand your view ...
though i might add, i think there are some reasons why they've chosen this shot for the cover ... you'll understand once you see the editorials featuring Stéphanie ....
but seriously, though her name/face WILL sell (at least in France ....), i really don't think her face would sell as it is now ... she really does look tired and i know she's the kind of "natural" woman = no esthetic surgery on her face, for sure ....
but that wouldn't sell on a Vogue cover ...

so, imo, that shot is the BEST shot they could have choose for this cover :
a - it hides her wrinkles etc. tired face
b - shows the fragile side of Stéphanie

may have to get this...just for the calendar. last year's contained far too much lara stone for my liking. jourdan!!

 

[capt.charly]

Oh my, at least my subscription is going to end soon.
Why put a naked sex kitten on the calendar of a woman's fashion magazine?

^^Carine Roitfeld is not really into feminism ... at all ! i tend to think she likes to see women as being toys for men ... i think she doesn't care ...
oh wait i just understood your point ..... sorry that was not that kind of things at all ...
well, i don't know ... maybe for the women to offer them to their husband, boyfriend, brother etc. but wait. what do you want ?! Vogue Paris' calendar have always been sexy ... I&V, the one with Karen Elson japanese thingy (by the way saw a movie yesterday on Arte about this japanese thing ... the movie was really odd !)

liberty : yes that's Carine. I don't know if it's the real shooting or just a pre-shooting tests ... because if Mario and Carine work hands in pocket ... well i'm pretty disappointed ...............

Well that all does make sense then (sort of like when they shot Sofia in that pose hiding her nose, i thought it was well done there), and if she is a good seller in France i see why they went with her, i am just not that interested, so i am not sure if i should get the issue, i guess just have to see more to make up my mind.

But the calendar as expected does nothing for me, Richardson rarely does.

Well, it's just not my taste I guess. I don't know whether it was always sexy like that, I have only started reading VP this year. I just don't know what I should do with this calendar when it arrives. I do not have a particular interest in naked women, you know? That's why I buy fashion magazines and not the Playboy.
