Vogue Paris March 2009 : Iris Strubegger by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

i dont understant, why did they put so much accesories (not matching, to be honest) in almost all eds except David sims shoot? looks like chanel gave `em full accesories collection and the main requirement was to put them all at once!
i understand, thats the mag, but you advertise clothes and looks how you suppose your readers should dress, and Vogue Pars is such powerful magazine so he can impose editors and stylist standpoint, so what for do such styling? please dont tell me what Carine wants women to wear these clothes like she showed
 
^^i really doubt carine wants her readers to dress like that ...
well i hope not ... i think carine has changed her vision towards what stylism is ...
i'm not sure she has changed in the good direction, anyway, or is now just good for 'sexy' stylism ...
she once said she gets inspiration everywhere (streets, airports etc.) and when she sees something 'unconventional', 'politically uncorrect' that catch her eyes she tries to render it in her stories ... i don't know what she recently saw but the Iris' stylism is full of bad references - though i smell punk a lot ! but trying to marry Balenciaga + MJ + Prada was not imo the best thing to do ... I think she's underlining the 'ugliness' of Fashion and Trends ... That's it, I think she has gone to the 'ugliness' side of Fashion (it sounds very G.Bataille in my mind ... not sure I managed to describe it well)

About the over-access., well I guess Chanel is just about that now and everything that really remains of Coco is Signs (jacket, bags and access.) and really NOT her early revolutions (a lot of people forgot that after Dior New Look and WWII, Chanel was pretty much conservative in a sense ... especially in her last days) so basically that's what Carine offers her readers .... Try to be Chanel with your bijoux fantaisie and over-access.ed yourself, but still remain chic in the 'ugly' sens of it ...
The message is not clear ? It is not even clear to me ...

I mean do you remember another tribute editorial to Coco with Daria ??? It has nothing to do with this at all ... The idea of Chanel and Fashion has changed in Carine's mind, imo ... Really changed ...

Now don't forget she has to deal a lot with the TONS of advertisers she has in her magazine ... I would love to compare the % of advertisers btw 2000-2004 and 2005-now .... I'm sure the potential of the ads in VP has raised up to 100% !!!!
Just look how little the non-advertisers credits there are in the issues of VP ... Eventhough, Carine does support the people and collections she loved there's not a lot of place for non advertisers ... she loves Junya and the japanese, loves MMM and she offered them sometimes a little place in VP pages (recent total MMM with Christy was pretty much a rare stuff in all Condé Nast publications, non ?) but she must deal with LV (+ MJ that she obviously loved), Dior, YSL (that she loved too) etc.

I'm pretty sure that boss-ing VP those days isn't the easiest task ....
and well VP, as V.US etc. are CondeNast and Mainstream Magazines !!!!!

Edita's editorial is amazing! So many great shots, and poses. The styling is fantastic as usual. Does anybody know is the shoes are from the S/S 09 collection? I can't remember seeing them.
I'm not to keen on Karlie's editorial though.. compared to the rest it's a little boring. But I am happy to see her..
thank you for the incredible scans Diorette
 
could you please tell me why? just curious to know :blink:

first of all, chanel revamping (modern chanel "girl"- lets be honest, thats an adult woman whos trying to look much younger than she is) thats not my cup of tea: too classic, too beaten. and the whole thing is around logo, bags, jacket, earrings, flower- brooch - all these old Coco inventions which became a legend in a bad way...

these words made me think about it, BerlinRocks. and i don't think it's the place Chanel belongs today as a matter of fact, rather publicized belief of how it should be perceived. traditionally Chanel belongs to the upper class of luxury/fashion so it's no wonder its clothes are not really popular among the masses (and i'm not talking about conservatism here). accessories and all the licenses they have is the way to make Chanel merely accessible for masses (and here comes the scale). lots of girls try to save up for Chanel 2.55 and i really doubt they can afford Chanel signature jacket or dress. so this is how it came up: uber-luxurious brand which most of people know through fake plastic pearls and oversized double-C brooches. but it's interesting how Chanel managed to make a cult of its accessories in a better way, than, say, Dior or LV, whose necklaces and key chains feel like nothing but a sick-ego status symbols, Chanel make these tacky pieces work, creating an allure, a certain aesthetics of what this brand is about.
i think what VP tried to do is to speak of this cult, of how Chanel is perceived through the lenses of time, society and marketing rather than exact history of this house or its heritage. and here comes the traditional irony of Vogue Paris team. they won't speak of how great Chanel is. they will show how much of our lives Chanel occupies. and all these earrings, necklaces and brooches come up like a Warhol's Campbell soup. it's not the soup which matters, but a legend, a myth it embodies.
 
:blush: Anna Gushina is great for the beauty pics...
Does anyone know who's the girl for the "LE PARIS DU CHIC" (p111)... she's extremely beautiful!
 
paris vogue is very edgy, very carine, i like that it also seems a little dated in some way. i love that some of its ideas can be either incredibly fashion forward or very dated.
the claudia shoot is a example of dated, but then the cover is very forward.
its a good mix.

it's true that chanel accessories are the emphasis these days... but frankly, depending on how you mix it, chanel can apply to so many different age groups! i truly think karl is a genius and chanel will always be chanel... the way it is portrayed are simply inspirations... i mean when i look at these shoots (especially the edita one) i WANT to be that girl... therefore the fashion editor (Carlyne) succeeded in doing it! Don't you think?
It all depends on how mix and match, and create your own thing... ^_^

Carmen looks ravishing, the newbies have nothing on her :heart:

I just think it's stupid they erased the cigarette in the last shot but left the smoke in her eye!

And Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele's styling is decidedly as tacky as her name...
