IN LOVE! So much US Vogue 2000s vibes that I´m dying
all I need now is Trentini jumping

The whole editorial reminds me of a very bare bones Rock the House by Meisel from US Vogue December 1999. I guess it was on the moodboard?

Except the styling in this story is atrocious

don´t care though...

It’s very Demarchelier isn’t it? Aside from the hideous styling they aren’t bad pictures, just kind of boring

 

[phungnam96]

so now it’s just “who’s gonna imitate the 2000s best”? I’m bored already

 

[thiago:)]

Apparently he had this editorial on his mood board too, lol.

Raquel is an incredible model, even though she's not that good as a cover girl, this one worked... I like it!

 

[matheus_s]

[Bertrando3]

Dior Fall and Spring 2001 must have been on the mood board too. Can we be a little less derivative?

I'm not sure if this is also 90s raver enough. She looks like all the female stars in those Disney Channel series and red carpets. Ashley Tisdale anyone...

 

[jeremydante]

Racquel looks bomb. Gisele was so rested in greatness in that archival 99 Vogue issue that was referenced up there.

 

[balmain1914]

the rebirth of patrick demarchelier?
i dont know why raquel is a bit stiff now...i just flipped through her pages in the old vogue paris under carine roitfeld, raquel used to be so damn on point.

anyway, it could be the problem of the phorographer and the editors of wsj

Hey hey you you I don’t like your girlfriend!! No way no way I think you need a new one!!

Music started to flow in my head

Agreed. This pretty much sums up my thoughts on EJG. Never really bad, never truly great, always fine...*shrugs*.

 

[Lola701]

The styling is so atrocious that it’s difficult to appreciate.

Ethan might be doing his best Meisel, but someone is not doing their best Coddington. A lot of Steven's appeal lies in his ability to surround himself with the right people that bring a specific spark to his work and make it all come together and that's what's lacking here. Regardless, I appreciate the effort. It's a decent immitation, but proper styling would've elevated it to a much better story.
