The Red Carpet Highlights of... The 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival 2024!
Its the susteinability issue, so: no clothesCall me old school because I have a question: where are the clothes?
To quote the Kaiser, personality begins where comparison ends. I don't think Asian Vogues even reference European magazines at all. A Vogue edition that is capable of this masterpiece has neither need nor inclination to abide by any standards or join any tradition whatsoever. The theme may be preexisting, but the execution is not a copy, or a token, or a fake. Art as interpretation is old as hermeneutics. No archival erudition can make these covers less glorious. Excellence can't be disputed in terms of originality, and the fact that from title to motifs Vogue Taiwan does not even try to cover its tracks here proves how strong this edition is. Like Joyce rewriting the Odissey and calling it Ulysses. I don't see this Vogue issue as a sequitur to anything. It compares to no one. I see it as a challenge to the canon.
Chen Man had huge problem a few months ago due to her old work.Fantastic observation.
You know, it’s such an oddity that such creative force is coming from a region that is by all accounts— a conservative, military, and still officially a communist state which by principle, doesn’t endorse individual creativity. Hoping that these creatives will dare to challenge the status quo more and more, in time. And all the while, the Western Vogues have become so much more conservative, bland, dowdy, pedestrian and soullessly corporate— all the traits of communism.
For those of you who are wondering why is there ANOTHER sustainability/environmental issue, the explanation (i.e. the excerpt from Vogue Taiwan's site, published in February last year) follows. Sadly, Vogue Taiwan seems to belong to a rare minority that consistently adheres to, and most importantly, shows in action Condé Nast Group's global commitment to take action to support climate action, announced in 2019.
