Vogue Paris May 2011 : Kate Moss by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[cottonmouth13]

Those enormous hands are working for me for some reason. I don't know why. Although it would have looked much better without them as Kate can do it on her own. Other than that, I think it's a good cover. Nothing groundbreaking or whatsoever. The red background kinda' looks cool actually. I was suddenly reminded of Gisele's Vogue Turkey March 2011 cover.

I like this image, I just wish the hands weren't there. Kate looks fabulous and the styling looks ok even though it is a straight off the runway look. I would say this is just another mediocre cover coming from the new team. not great, but not bad either. it just doesn't leave you wanting more like it did with Carine.

i Like this cover!

She looks gorgeous, I like the Armani look. The idea of the hands, along with the Taming of the Shrew line, is kinda nice in a tongue-in-cheek way... except for that hand on her hip, which is just touching her with apparently no purpose (although the other ones don't seem to be wanting to undress her that much either).

The thing I hate about the hands is that they are so big compared to her and that is kind of distracting, but I love the red and I think she looks great actually.

Agreed. They must have found the largest models they could for the arms. It looks a bit odd.


Anyways, I think Kate looks f***ing amazing, but the image as a whole is so-so.

Like the cover..
Very "iconic"!

Agree about the hands (especially the lower one) looking too big though.

Rememberme to much to Avedon in Versace this cover is good but not stuning

I can see that too, although I do think this cover's stunning. The hands add something extra to the shot. I guess the cover would lack appeal, with Kate just standing there. Kate's work only gets stronger and stronger, I can't wait to see more from this issue.

i like the cover...its different than what i am used to seeing with vogue paris. maybe that it is a simple studio shoot with a very dramatic backdrop color (which i like)

 

[fluxxx]

agree with all the comments about the hands, so annoying... and Idk maybe because of the red background and lighting it reminds me so much with Rosie's UK Vogue cover

 

[dwalden]

M&M have been using a lot rof ed lately... I like!

 

[dwalden]

oops - "a lot of red"

 

[TeeVanity]

Absolutely love the cover, perfection - Stunning - can't wait to get my own copy, wow!

 

[Minimoon27]

Forget it s kate ( I'm so over her) this cover is brilliant!!!! Love everything! the styling, the pose, the red background and even the hands.

 

[fashionmypassion]

LOVE this.....such a cool idea.
it looks very french vogue and colours is to die for

 

[Northern Star]

Great cover and Kate looks lovely here. It is certainly attention grabbing which is what covers are all about. I wasn't sure about the hands, although I get the cheesy irony, but as vogue28 said, maybe it would be lacking without them and the image would become fairly generic.
Anyhow, liking it.

in love with this cover- i love emmanuelle's vision & can feel that greater sense of commercial glamour in what she's doing. excited to see what else this issue holds.

"While high mass Cannes is about to be celebrated, Vogue puts on her thirty-one (in a tuxedo, essential) and queue at the cinema." written Emmanuelle Alt, editor in chief of Vogue Paris, in the editorial of the issue in May 2011. Honor the seventh art, with a report in the homes of stars the grandest and an interview with the agent Dominique Besnehard. Side mode is the ultimate style of tuxedo that is honored with a series of evening looks that play on the ambiguity of the masculine-feminine. Kate on the cover of the issue, asks a few pages later wearing the latest haute couture creations of the most spectacular in a series between punk and glam Hollywood. Finally, what are the neon colors that are key this season, with make-up blinding neon colors to be scattered into touch to brighten an outfit.

Vogue Paris, No. 917 May 2011, on newsstands April 25.

For some reason, this cover makes me think about Christmas. I can't explain it.

The red background and the red lipstick?

For some reason, this cover makes me think about Christmas. I can't explain it.

I think it's the colours and they look like they are unwrapping a present.
Kate would make a nice Xmas present.
