I like the Natalia spread, SCBlondie. The interview is a pretty good read and says that Natalia seems cultured, elegant, smart despite growing up in poverty and not having a proper school education. Today she speaks English with no trace of accent. Her husband Justin Portman did make a comment about those racy CK Jeans ad, esp. the one that has Natalia biting the naked rear end of a male model: "I wish I can take a shot gun to the shoots."
And props to the stylist for using no clothes from CK. The whole ed is satisfying and Natalia looks comfortable being herself instead of some character that she has to play in other fashion editorials. I wish the Gisele ed from the Oct. issue of Vanity Fair would be this good.
Fave pic: Natalia & Justi strolling down the Soho neighborhood in a printed Prada Coat.
Least favorite pic: Natalia in this Vuitton coat.
Other pictures used: A brown Marni dress (Gisele wore for Sept US Vogue) and Lanvin and a Lacrioux couture gown

Stam on the cover of 10, in a sparkly Prada dress (I think). Wow that's a cool cover from Stam.
Josie Maran on the cover of Jan. US Glamour, wearing a J. Mendel top and photographed by Patrick Demarchelier.
Josie and Alessandra Ambrosio are the type of girls who should grace the cover of Cosmo/Glamour all the time. But this is in fact Josie's EIGHTH US Glamour cover so I can't really complain.
See below for previous covers. 
But this cover and ed (which is a beauty ed) isn't particularly strong. They are treating her more as an 'actress' than a model now. But surprisingly I do like this issue quite a bit, and think it does a good job bridging AW04 to SS05. It has a 10-pg "Persoanlize Your Suit" ed that I love, and a resort ed (using clothes from the resort collections and SS05) that is bland but showcases adorable shoes.

thats my fave josie maran cover at least it doesnt look too commercial
Yeah! I can recomment buying French but Eugenia only has one pic in it as far as I can remember. The one with the hat - I don't think the other pic you posted made it into the mag. At least not the mag I bought which had Natasha Poly on the cover.
French is one of my fave mags, I have to say....

Thanks kimair for posting!
Mischa Barton wearing Behnaz Sarafpour's glittery cape; 8-pg editorials inside. Marie Claire is trying to cash in on their cover star's fame, as they normally don't give this many pages to celebs, not even to J Lo.
But this is a pretty satisfying January issue. They still use clothes from FW04, but they are very well styled. Long Missoni dress + denim jacket, MaxMara studded knit cardigan + aviator glasses... Good stuff.
Cosmo turned in a surprisingly readable issue, too. Kate Bosworth looks good on the cover, and I am not even normally a fan. The yellow top is from a relatively obscure three-letter brand, but I don't have the mag with me right now so I can't make a proper reference, sorry. The jeans are Chip & Pepper. The earrings are a very nice touch and Bosworth looks best when there is some color on her lip.
The two editorials inside are devoted to designer gowns (in a party setting) and early spring/resort stuff, something you would wear on a yachet. Yes, that's the life of a Cosmo girl, cocktails and making out on a yachet.
This is a terrible issue and will be going straight to the bin (or resold on eBay) as soon as I receive it. The only good thing is the Oscar de la Renta dress on the cover--it's one of the best from those stellar spring collections. But now that it's been featured on the cover of Elle, it prob. won't get the proper coverage it deserves from Bazaar or Vogue. Blah! However, if you are interested in the new Dior girl, a.k.a. Elvis's granddaughter, she has an all-Dior editorial here. She was on the cover of Vogue alongside her family last August. This has got to be the most concerted effort from the industry to make someone this young a star. I don't see what the fuzz is about.
The Oscar de la Renta dress in all its glory:
Kristen Davis is on the cover of Lucky but I can't find the image yet. But it's a slow month at Lucky--I can't picture it would put together an issue as uninspring as this one. For starters, a Marc Jacobs frock is on the cover. They just used his clothes for Rachel Bilson last November! Kristen Davis, though naturally beautiful, looks bad due to the rigid hair and the burgendy on the dress doesn't play off her brunette hair too well. Lucky's covers have never been strong except when they use Josie Maran [hehehe so I really like her], but this is such a wasted opportunity; you could hardly go wrong with Kristen Davis.
The contents are too disappointing, if not more so. One of the best things about Lucky is diversity; it has several "themes" on rotation so the creativity goes beyond styling or wardrobe selection. Therefore, even when it is a slower time in fashion and most of the new-season stuff isn't available for editors yet, Lucky will do something like "what to buy now, and how to wear it later" or other fun things like that. No such luck this time. Even their up-and-coming designer section sucked. The "how to imitate a style icon" section is cheesy.
So, a quick recap because I've just flipped through a slew of magazines:
Glamour: A- <-- It also has a stunning makeup editorial using up-and-coming actresses, including Paz Vegas. This is what Allure should be like.
Marie Claire: B (same as usual)
Cosmopolitan: B (better than before)
Lucky: C- (an abberation, I hope)
Elle: D (continues the downward spiral)
And that's Lindsay Lohan on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. This year, Lindsay's been on the cover of Interview, Rollingstone, Jane, and EW. I expect more.
Gwen Stefani is also on a gazillion covers ranging from V to Seventeen, and she looks the same on every one.
Girls that I'd like to see more often:
Scarlett Johansson (got Elle and UK Vogue and W this year, is Cosmo next? Better yet, GQ)
Keira Knightley (covergirl for Elle in 2003 and Cosmo in 2004. She deserves to be all-over the place. You can't put old hats Nicole Kidman, whom I love, and Renee Zellweger and worse Gwen Stefani on the cover of every magazine imaginable and not the Best Ingenue)
Kate Beckinsale (she's Vogue material and both sides of the Atlantic have to catch on)
Rachel Weisz (ditto)
Naomi Watts (Both her W and Elle spread were lazy. She is quite a regal fashion chalemeon and deserves a star editorial in Vogue or Bazaar)
Paz Vegas (super hot, already on BlackBook)
Eva Mendes (Elle needs to put this exotic beauty on cover and stop the nonsense with its happy-go-Brazil bore)
Zhang Ziyi (okay, too much of a strech, but I can dream)
Don't want to see:
Gwen Stefani, Renee Zellweger, Christina Applegate, Jennifer Aniston (as congenial as she is), Catherine Zeta-Jones, Beyonce.

Most notable ads:
- Kate Moss for Chanel fragrance, wearing a black wig and a tilted fedeora a la Catherine Zeta-Jones circa "Chicago," a string of pearls, and nothing else. Great stuff.
- Rianne for Chanel cosmetics. Over air-brushed, esp. the eye color. I wonder if these ads really make people run out and buy cosmetics, because everything is so unabashedly retouched. If anything, it makes me want to learn PhotoShop. On a different note, I think Julia Stegner would've been better for this job.
- Adrianna Lima for Maybelline. I don't think people wear bronzer in early spring, but this looks very good. Adrianna's Maybelline this past year has been nice. Can't say the same about her Victoria's Secret work.

uk vogue the bible? i'm british and even i don't think so. I'd go for paris or italian vogue. Harper's isn't that bad anymore.
Please no one by in style-from any country--now that is bad.

this was my EXACT thought after picking it up in the check out line today
This is the Natasha Poli cover for French and i think she got both covers, back and front, right? It's looking awesome!Originally posted by iluvjeisa@Dec 10 2004, 08:21 AM
Yeah! I can recomment buying French but Eugenia only has one pic in it as far as I can remember. The one with the hat - I don't think the other pic you posted made it into the mag. At least not the mag I bought which had Natasha Poly on the cover.
French is one of my fave mags, I have to say....
[snapback]459793[/snapback]
and thanks for your recommendation, iluvjeisa!
I think i'll buy it asap!!! I cant resist!!! and i can't believe only one of Eugenia's covers is used! 
I agree - I bought Elle to see what Emmy Rossum was like in the issue, and while I think she can have some pretty weird espressions, she wears clothes pretty well. She's looked better in other editorials.LibertyRose said:Thanks kimair for posting!

The rest of Elle this month was moronically boring - I flipped through it once and found no reason to bother reading any of it. I was only really glad to see Miranda Kerr in an editorial, but only her and nothing she was wearing.
I wish someone would feature Rachel Weisz on a cover - I love her.
Kate Beckinsale makes a better covergirl than a lot of the recents - Gwen, etc - I just wish they'd stop putting her on covers like Cosmo and give her a more serious shoot. And I second everyone else that you said, except Paz Vega, just because I'm not impressed with her.metal-on-metal
