Vogue Russia December 2008 : Naomi Campbell by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott

[shotguntolove]

wow i love the cover, very wintery and simply gorgeous. vogue russia has produced great covers this year.
thanks for the review and scans, ach-AT, masha's editorial is fresh and interesting.

 

[Flashbang]

I'm not the biggest fan of the cover...Naomi looks strange.

However, she looks REALLY gorgeous in her Catwoman editorial.

ditto!

This seems a very good issue. Thanks for the scans. After a mediocre november I'm glad to see VR is back in good form.

Masha's ed is great! Thanks for the scans, achAT!

 

[vogue28]

Victoriya looks terrific I love the third shot.

 

[The.Rock.Inc.]

Viktoriya's ed is dynamic! she has a really strong look

 

[Fiercification]

Hmmm don't really like Anna Selezneva's ed, and Masha's ed would be good with a more qt model.

However Viktorya's is REALLY good, even though it's simple, she knows how to pose

 

[Dark Noire]

Thanks for the scans! Hope Noami is next!

 

[MissMagAddict]

I don't care for Anna & Viktoriya at all. IMO they are both so highly overrated. I like the styling in Masha's edit. I've already seen Rachel's edit & it is quite good.

Thank you for the scans achAT

 

[AnaBGD]

I like Anna's and Viktoriya's eds! Don't like Masha's, too bright colors and I don't like background!

thanks for the scans achAT!

 

[achAT]

Thanks for your comments. This issue is much better than the previous one. You can easily figure my favorites out - I usually start with my favorite ed. B)

 

[j'adorekapusta]

OMG! Masha's ed is a rip-off of the shoot they did with Rachel Clark last winter. and the backdrop is kind of... tres junkie. not the most flattering stuff VR has ever done.
i loed Viktoriya's ed cause this girl has such a strong face to work that kind of things out. anyway it's funny that the last picture looks like they stretched it vertically, Viktoriya does look like she's very tall there (and she obviously is not that tall). weird, but lovely.
Anna's ed leaves more questions than answers. maybe the text pages would clear up the point of these images, anyway 2 of 4 looks by Max Mara? i can hardly see any good reason for that.
and last but not least. Naomi? by Mert&Marcus? styled by Edward Enninful? did Vogue Russia get some extra cash flows recently?

God, this stupid "burda on acid" theme is in each Russian vogue issue. one question: who could wear all that coloriful idiocy like this in the same time?
for that kind of ed i just hate Ru vogue

 

[Miss Dalloway]

The Snow ed is ridiclous indeed, dont like any of it, and yes we have seen that in VR before, but why i hate it is because of the painful to my eyes styling at least tone it down a tad, damn.

Flora and Fauna looks great though, i love the models presence in that ed.

AchAT as always, thanks a million for your great scans and thanks for writing the translation of the titles.

ugh matt irwin's ed is terrible. i hate the setting and hate the styling. i really like terry's ed with anna selezneva though. she has a very strong face, i totally understand why carine likes her so much. and naomi's ed seems to be really good too, i love mert & marcus's b&w work. thanks achAT.
