What a spectacular issue. The editorial content is just amazing, an utter sensation and perfect for the season. I'm wanting to jump right into some swim shorts and reenact the scenarios portrayed within the issue. Yeah, these beach shoots are done a thousand times over but when the outcome is this strong, who cares? The Vogue Paris team have created something fresh and rejuvenating - just how I want a summer issue to be.
I'm surprised Emmanuelle didn't put out multiple covers, a one with Andreea and another with Anja. It would have made sense, even more so with an Anja cover, because she's featured more than Andreea. Imagine a cover shot with both models on! Although I am very satisfied with the cover we have.
Mario Sorrenti's story with Anja and Andreea is perfect - couldn't be more perfect, really. There's a few shots I fawn over. I won't even begin to select a favourite. They're all equally stunning and visually stimulating. Emmanuelle's styling empowers the images here and her aesthetic is evident even with the lack of clothing. For those complaining about the lack of clothing: Geraldine Sagilo has given readers wearable summer outfits (some more wearable than others), in the supplement stories. We then have Hilary Rhoda's editorial which is a breath of fresh air. Hilary looks absolutely gorgeous, she's a welcomed addition to Alt's batch of Vogue girls. Marie Chaix's styling is superb, I'm a total sucker for monochrome. Malgosia Bela's Bijoux pictures are fantastic too, she has such a demanding presence in everything she shoots.
So, basically, loving the editorial content, as I always do. I ordered a copy online to get the supplement and cannot wait to receive it.
