W Magazine March 2009 : Madonna by Steven Klein

[Les_Sucettes]

It's the 90s all over again. Why not screencaps of Justify my Love?

Why, WHY Madonna? The lack of originality is mind blowing.

It looks better that i was expecting(dreading?)It's march's issue,so even though her "ed" is 46 pages,there will be fashion editotrials too,right?

 

[thiago:)]

I didn't like it very much... And I didn't like the cover either. Madonna's last ed for W was so much better.

Wow, I love it. Before clicking on this I had my preconceived idea of what the cover would be like, but this was totally different. In a good way! It's been a while since I bought an issue of W, and I think I will be picking this up. Thanks for the pictures!

 

[Fabulyss]

Love the photoshoot, love the clothes, etc etc but I'm just so tired of Madonna. And whatever she did to her face

 

[thiago:)]

There are more pics up in the site.

 

[CharlottefromCA]

I like it. Very Madonna, Very Steven Klein.

Love the cover, and the edit is fantastic

 

[AnaBGD]

Wow, this is surprisingly good, I like the cover (though text style bugs me) and edit looks really good!
I'm tired of Madonna, but I appreciate this, especially because it could have been (and I expected it to be) bad, with her yoga practice...

The text style is Madonna's own handwriting! She also used it for her Confessions on a Dance Floor album for example...

not bad ....
as someone said it's just a tone downed of Meisel Sex Book ... with a 1950s hair style and look .... which makes her a granny almost ... all this grey ....

not that bad ....

but sorry .... why is madonna on cover ? what's her news ?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I like this, the combo of Klein and Madonna works yet again.The cover gives this trashy cool vibe with the rose font of the W and her handwritting perfect for the image.
And styling is superb, that sexy chic LBD by Victoria Beckham is soo well used here, specially in the shots where you can see the back of it, the ziper.Impressive.

She is THE news, always, the woman does not need something to promote in order to get mag cover love, its how it is, and its well earned imo.

I would rather have an icon like her, than another actress promoting her latest fragrance.

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Jesus is SERIOUS hotness, i would love to have that as a rebound.

Seriously. I could wake up to that. I really am surprised as I wasnt expecting to like this, but I love it. I think I need to get to Rio.

 

[TheItGirl]

46 page editorial? That insane! But in a good way because she looks hot here.

 

[MissMagAddict]

I love this... it's all so Justify My Love mixed with the Sex book.

Fantastic

A 46-page editorial means 23 pictures used. And since all 23 pictures were posted on the site, it saves us the trouble of scanning them. It does feel uncomfortable seeing 50-year old Madonna frolicking with young hot nude boys, but she does pull it off.

well said!
she's better than any boring actress out there.

 

[thiago:)]

Seriously, Justify my love and Sex book were way better than this, imo.
And I can't see any controversy on this . I'd rather see Madonna doing yoga poses.

 

[bluejeans]

you have to admit, she still looks fantastic!
