Vogue Plus February 2022 : Eileen Gu by Davit Giorgadze

Vogue + Its like a Teen Vogue right?
I have 2 issues of Vogue Me and its so fun
 
According to Condé Nast, Vogue Plus (officially styled as VOGUE+) 'signifies endless possibility, curiosity, cross-disciplinary collaboration and expecting the unexpected'. It is conceived as a more experimental, heavily curated alternative/companion to Vogue China. I can't vouch for the accuracy of this profile, though, as I have never had an actual copy of the magazine in my hands.
 
Bizarrely, I can access the digital version of this issue via my local library... this issue is 186 pgs, the first few pages are given over to a Dior skincare ad, and aside from the Chanel ad on the back cover, this magazine is solid content, going straight from one feature into the next.

A large part of the content is Vogue Italia levels of studio-shot nonsense, where someone tries their hardest to make images seem more interesting by styling things in deliberately ugly or garish ways, or by adding an arty frame or scrawl, but in the end, ultimately saying nothing.

However, I get the impression that Vogue Plus is trying to be an indie version of Vogue, but in a good way, because there are definitely times when it works.

The cover story "Eileen Gu: Hopeless Romantic" (24 pgs) is not the only section in this issue that features her, but as an opener, I do like it. The story has shots of Eileen wearing fashion against a skiing/snowy backdrop, but this is interspersed with grainy, moody shots of mountains and a few b/w images where skiers look like tiny cosmonauts on the surface of the moon, black silhouettes against the powdery snow.

I'm glad this magazine exists, and that there's an avenue where a Vogue can at least try something like this.

Looking at the digital back issues available at the library, it's been titled Vogue Plus for the last three issues, and before that, it was Vogue Me.
 
is this the new Vogue Me or a different thing?

What's the difference between this Vogue and the main one?

When launched in 2016, Vogue Me broke the online sales record of a single issue: 30,000 copies sold out within six minutes. Tailor-made for the millennial generation, Vogue Me was an instant success with its cool, young attitude expressed with a high level of quality and creativity. Through its dedicated social media platforms, Vogue Me has quickly become the media brand that best reflects the voice of the post-1990s generation. Vogue Me is published bi-monthly under a copyright cooperation with China Pictorial.

However, five years and 32 issues later, the last issue of Vogue Me has been launched in August 2021. Two months later, instead of Vogue Me we got Vogue+.

So, Vogue China launched VOGUE+ – a new platform for the collective "us". "+" signifies endless possibility, curiosity, cross-disciplinary collaboration and expecting the unexpected. "+" also means opening our minds to every corner of culture and expanding our worldview.

I can't imagine buying 18 issues of Vogue by year in my country. That's a lot. In Argentina is an expensive magazine.
 
Love it though they would have whitened her eyes just slightly, She looks like she was crying before they shot
