Vogue Paris September 2009 : Lara Stone By Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[retailqueen]

Lara's ed is very blah. It looks like Elle or Cosmo. disappointing.

 

[bones]

Natasha's ed looks really good

 

[irulan]

The brunette Lara seems to be true to that shy, humble side of Lara that we have heard about here and there even if we didn't believe it.
I still think she looks incredibly beautiful and even if VP doesn't impress with this issue, they certainly hit the nail on the head with Lara's transformation. They created her luscious blonde sex-bomb image and built it up and built it up. And then they change her into this angelic brunette and for once show that sex-kitten is not the only good look for a woman.

 

[DJGroove]

Poly's ed is the highlight of this issue for me.

 

[dee-ha]

One word for the cover : STUNNING. All the eds look good too. Sasha seriously looks good with any hair style! I'm so jealous!

 

[Flashbang]

Am i the only one who don't like Natasha's ed ? I mean she had done all those desolate-place-astray-girl things previously & i dont see anything fresh this time...
What i love best is LARA absolutely...she's unexpectedly impeccable as a brunette IMO..and i enjoy those plot-dealing so well.

Same here. There's nothing special with her ed.
Lara on the other hand. It's really refreshing to see her like this.

I really like Sasha's too.

 

[iluvjeisa]

Even a couple of Natasha's pix seem great...

 

[fantaisland]

Never thought I'd say this about Lara but she looks delicate and soft on the cover. Definitely a different side that we never seen before. Also, I can barely recognise her with the brown hair. Lovin' the old Hollywood siren feel in the editorial as well.
So far, everything posted with Sasha, Constance, Julia, Natasha and Tao on its' editorials are wonderful.
A total must have for a Sept issue, I must say!

 

[Kenysha75]

No but for real is Lara doin campfire and family reunion with Carine lol?
This is insane Shes always havin the VP
But yes I will still buy the issue I know the change is still interesting to see for her
I think a lot of tfser are just upset cause when youre buyin an issue You want to see new ideas fierce concepts etc...
The models have been the same quiet for a while now and a little change never hurt nobody....
Just sayin...
Ill still show love to vp no matter what lol

 

[Franzy]

That's Lara? It's a little too simple in terms of French Vogue. She's looks so gullible.

 

[oh.so.ellie]

adore the cover! they haven't over sexualised Lara as she usually is, it shows her looking softer rather than the 'i've just had sex' look.

 

[VogueParisLover]

Sasha looks terrible and I hate her editorial. On the flip side, I love Lara and her editorial. This is like Freaky Friday.

 

[vogue28]

I've just noticed the awful text that has been used to title Sasha's editorial. But because it's Vogue Paris I will let it drop.

 

[Bengt]

Lara looks gorgeous, I love the cover.
I like it when models looks different than their usual appearance coz it just proves that they're not one-dimensional.
I MUST have this issue!

(tfs'ers from the Philippines, where could I get this? help.. )

 

[Overdrive]

I'm DYING to get this issue! The Brigitte Bardot ed is genius.

 

[Fiercification]

I was looking forward to seeing Jansson's ed especially being with Anna but it looks dull to me. There's nothing particularly exciting about this issue IMO...a continuing trend for this year

 

[MyNameIs]

The cover is really beautiful, but that's because Lara looks NOTHING like herself. I thought it was Toni Garn or that British model who did Burberry a couple seasons ago (her name escapes me).

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Amanda Lear is better than Amanda Lepore, right?

So this issue is about models as iconic women?
That's not very innovative I think...

I dont think so either, it seemed last month that some of the models were dressed as iconic women, Raquel as C.Love perhaps?

I want this issue just because I really like the cover, the Tao photos are gorgeous, and I bit my tongue-I actually like Natasha's ed, I wait for Selezneva's in earnest, I just wish VP would use some different models each month.

 

[BerlinRocks]

the lara story is kind of good.
i like the styling especially ...
natasha's story is boring as hell ...
raquel is good, sasha, too !

not a very impressive issue ... but some very nice surprises (Vogue US' Grace article, itw with Bianca Jagger, an article abt Brussels, Altuzarra, J+, make-up artist Tyen with 1p. article ... the Tina Chow access. edit is really nice, too) ...

but i thought there was supposed to be their choice for the Vogue Fashion Night ...
and there's nothing ... so i'm kind of disappointed ...

i'm waiting for more from VP .... especially for a sept. issue ... and Lara in brunette is not enough for me ... sorry !

Amanda Lear is better than Amanda Lepore, right?

Amanda Lear is genius !
We looove her !

* btw I like your comparison with Amanda Lepore ... ! *

 

[Moofins]

Tao looks so beautiful. I love that Lara looks demure, almost shy, so tame from what she normally looks like. Natasha's editorial is lovely, but it kind of fall stale for me. Anna J will be phenomenal (as if she could be anything else), but...I don't know. I'm underwhelmed.
