Vogue Paris - The Cover Archive

[hfgl]

Wow, this makes me realise how much i dislike their covers. I like 7 covers from 2009 to 2016.

 

[Lola701]

Iselin cover really stand out in the Emmanuelle's era. It's the first cover she didn't styled and it shows.
Gigi (with the jacket) and Iselin are the best covers this year.

2015 was bad! The two good covers were the Anna Ewers ones.

Testino's return at Vogue Paris wasn't a good idea and Charlotte Casiraghi is not a good subject to photograph.

Jansson needs to be a regular at VP. We need less I&V, a fair split between Sims & M&M and more of Teller.
They really took some risks this year but i need Natasha Poly back at VP. I don't care for Gisele anymore.
Anna and Valentina had the best covers!

Best cover for me is September. That editorial was an absolute dream very hit and miss this year otherwise though. Nice to see some new faces too. I love these archives, thank you for updating!

 

[Srdjan]

It's painful to see how covers are gettinge worse and worse year after a year. 2017 was full of experiments and bad ideas. Mess!

 

[caioherrero]

The best cover is Gisele june/july. It's amazing!!!

 

[Benn98]

So many awful covers this year, my God. The only ones who did it for me was Anna, Christy, and Vittoria. Loathe everything else. I particularly found Gisele's two and Rihanna's covers quite vile.

It's crazy the contrast between Carine years versus Alt's. This year has been so far the worst. Mikael Jansson and David Sims are not strong photographers...

The lack of diversity here is killing me, under Carine and Alt

 

[kasper!]

^Seriously?

She had Du Juan on her 2005 Oct cover. First asian face to appear on thecover of a major fashion magazine.
She had Lea T in her magazine which you can almost his gential..bold choice.
She published editoiral with male fontal nudity inside her magazine.
She had black model on a March cover (2010).
She is one of the few editors who started the trend of one-page-for-one-brand-big-collection editorial...

She is not the best at least she had tried a lot of stuff.

I also appreciate Alt chose Valentina Sampaio as a cover model...and this is the only issue I got under Alt..

 

[Deleted member 141523]

You're right Kasper, but compare to Italian Vogue and American Vogue (not the best edition, but very diverse). Carine was the EIC in the 2000s, I understand, but under Alt you only see Liya Kebede, Naomi and Rihanna (and she's birracial, with white features). She is there for almost a decade. Everybody got nuts with Alexandra, but on French Vogue it's almost the same.

Yes, under Carine it wasn’t that diverse. Maybe more on the pages than on the covers. But she had Asians, black girls (Noémie, Naomi, Liya, Rose)...Even Andre J!
Considering that the 00’s weren’t a very diverse era, Carine gets a pass because her magazine featured different type of girls. She had different type of body shapes and all...+ Since she left VP, she has been very very diverse.

The problem is that it’s Vogue Paris. The name of the magazine is already restrictive. And they are only about certain parts or a certain idea of Paris. In France, people wouldn’t care if they have more black girls on the cover or if the diversity ratio is high. We don’t necessarily expect big representation, we just want great fashion. But it’s clear that with this new generation of models, Alt seems to be quite removed from the conversation.

Anyway, I hope 2019 will be her last year. 19 years of Vogue is enough given the state of the magazine...

^That's interesting. I normally call it French Vogue but in actuality its 'Vogue Paris' so its more of representation of Parisian sensibility than of France as a whole. But when considering Paris they could present more diversity. I'm bored of the same handful of models/celebrities.

I think its fair to call out Vogue Paris for the fact that the black women who have been on their cover are black women who for lack of better words have less traditional black features but I find it problematic whenever blackness is generalized to phenotype such as hair texture and eye color. It makes my skin crawl when I see people say Liya is a "white women dipped in chocolate".

[MON]

I thoroughly enjoyed 2018! March, August, and December never should've seen the light of day.

Really glad that Vogue Paris FINALLY found an art direction that works! The font by itself is okay, but when paired with the 80s/90s theme of the magazine, it looks stunning! Very distinctive and distant from what Carine's art direction was. They should seriously keep it. However, the art direction for December was tragic. Leave that to Vogue Enfants.

As for the covers, I found myself buying 7 out of the 10 2018 issues. I must say though, these covers look WEAKER in digital, but they shine in the newsstands.

Crazy how Mikael Jansson dominated 2018!

 

[Lola701]

The year started so well....
And then: Boom! Iselin by Sims...
A disaster since then even if I liked Kate’s cover.
I love Jansson for VP.
More Barbieri for 2019 would be perfect.

 

[tigerrouge]

That second Kaia cover looks even worse by comparison, as if they were trying to paint a happy face on a teenage victim of a stroke.

This year, I went from a habit of sometimes buying two copies of certain issues... to barely touching it on the newsstand.

I still love that Valentina Sampaio cover from last year, though. It's like a vintage Opium campaign. Looking at that makes me feel good about Vogue Paris. It's time to put the sweaters and jeans into storage and bring some sex back into the picture.

 

[Srdjan]

What a terrible year. I loved the upside-down cover of the summer issue, and wanted to buy it, but in the end resisted the temptation. The ones that I disliked the most are August and May (don't know why, but the latter feels so heavy and hard to look at).

We really need a change at VP, but I don't see Alt leaving soon.
