Vogue Paris September 2013 : Saskia de Brauw by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[jeffandtheworld]

Really? That's one of the reasons I love it so much.

I think it is an adorable editorial and really enjoyable but it doesn't scream Vogue to me.

The main ed is nice, but the feel is so similar with Natalia's march 2012 and Suvi's March 2013 ed. love the Parisienne ed too. is it in the issue or in the supplement?

 

[Breathless]

Ever since Alt took over the magazine it always have this 80's look and feel to it. Also this issue is very boring like the rest.

That's from the FNO supplement. Karlina is on the cover.

I'm rather pleased with this issue. Even though I find the themed issues a bit ridiculous and grunge is definitely not my favorite trend, I still think this issue is strong. The main editorial is great. And it's so good to see Emmanuelle is using such amazing models like Suvi and Andreea more often now. And my another favorite is Parisiennes ed. It's very early 90s and sometimes forgotten old can feel very fresh and new. Oh, and I also like Kasia's editorial. This girl can do no wrong.

Ah, too bad it's in the supplement, i like that ed and hope it's in the main issue

The La fièvre Grunge story is amazing! Classic M&M!

David Bellemere's editorials are delectable....very impressed with Karlina there. The cover is.....interesting. I like that strange pose and I'm glad they did not emphasize Saskia's face....we all have our preferences and square faces + short hair are not what I dig. Her t*ts, though, are stellar.

I cannot believe they revived those God awful belts everyone, me included ( ) wore in the early 90s in that Attitude ed.
I feel as old as the hills looking at this issue, but i'm kind of totally fascinated by it, i think this Vogue Paris grunge is simply flawless, no one looked this good the first time around.

 

[MoniqValentino]

I hate this cover! Saskia looks how men! Really this hair is not for her! She is androgyny but no manly and she looks manly here! I like Kasia , Emily,Hana and Karlina eds! I think that Zuzanna's ed is the worst!

And with this issue Balenciaga is back advertising in Vogue Paris.

true, very 80s, and none of it looks really relevant. I just wish she had the same love affair with the 90s, I love that fashion period

Nice editorials.

Emily DiDonato looks GORGEOUS. My goodness. Kasia's ed is great. Also love Hana's (whoever she is) spread. The main editorial is great as well.

Don't like the styling in the Pairsennes ed. It's ok overall, but eh. Zuzanna's beauty thing is very cheap looking. The worst of all is the Attitutde ed with Karlina by Sgura. Her deer in the headlights expression in every shot just kills me, lol.

I feel the world is a little bit worse after looking through this issue… I don’t know, the main story is actually one of the ‘best’ under her tenure (there are four nice pictures, that’s it), but I feel there’s so much talent wasted…

And the whole issue (a September issue!) left me the impression that there are so many passion-free people working here. The eds are awful, Elle Serbia worthy, just to fill the content…

^^ The world is a bit worse? Really?

This is a magazine! There are bigger things to be upset over than the direction this has taken.

No, the industry is not like kindergarten. The industry is a corporation and full of suckups. Don't you notice that the majority of clothes that Vogue US puts on the cover are clothes from major advertisers? That collection had nothing to say to anyone. It was most likely designed by a design team the size of the United States military. There was nothing relevant about that collection. Grunge is like a zit on the nineties. The only ones who still hold on to grunge are Courtney Love and Sky Ferreira (who's really just a wannabe imo).Hedi Slimane lost his relevance when he left Dior Homme, and even before then everyone thought he was just one-note. And he still is one note.

Well, guess what...that one note designer (whether it is due to advertising, or shock -- the fact that Emmanuelle likes the collection) and his collection have the entire theme of a September issue of a major magazine. Hardly irrelevant, and as pointed out, mass market thought enough of it to knock it off, so clearly the message is translating because people will look at this for reference.

That might be Alt's approach, not mine.

 

[Zazie]

I am already SO SICK of this "Grunge" they're trying so hard to sell to us in all the magazines!!

I guess fashion is so short of creativity they have to go "green", i.e. keep recycling old ideas like 80s shoots Grunge "revival"...what for? Music wasn't even good then, I tried listening to some of it but much prefer the other Euro scene.

I can't even think of a respectable icon, Courtney Love??

Was she important in some way?

It's all kissing up to some "higher powers"...as usual...

Nothing in this issue makes me want to try out any of these fashion, I don't even "get" them!

 

[Zazie]

I know Grunge was some counter-culture rebellion, but it did get co-opted by big music business and mainstream, didn't it. I much prefer clubbing, reading cyberpunk and watching La Haine growing up. There was a lot in the 90s nostalgic for many of us, especially connected to internet! Even if they want to revive, recycle, redo, etc., instead of working harder to show us a fascinating fashion future, they should mine from richer cultural veins than this "Grunge".

Fishnets, kinderwhore dresses and baggy flannel shirts and sweaters...ugh, it's not interesting compared to other movements, eg Mod, 70s Boho, or 80s avant garde, honestly, even if they are made at expensive ateliers.

 

[HeatherAnne]

Best cover of Alt's tenure, but also her worst in terms of content.

This magazine has become a shadow of it's former self -- like one of those C-list Vogues or Elles that try to look emulate Vogue Paris, and end up just being awkward.

The cover is great and Im so happy to see Zuzanna back in VP looking so chic !
