Your Favorite Editorials of 2009

[iluvjeisa]

I'm going to have to think about this. It's been a fantastic editorial year. Lara's year. And the few things Snejana has done have been unbelievable.

 

[tarsha]

^ Yes, it definitely was Lara's year. And I'll say Raquel too.

Karolin Wolter for Vogue Russia Sept 09 by Terry Tsiolis

Karlie Kloss by David Sims for Vogue Portugal, September 2009, not an ed but the cover shot

 

[Annu]

^ Yes, it definitely was Lara's year.

Oh, yes. Quality was amazing, but still I didn't find any spectacular. On the other hand I bought so many mags because of her, so I guess there totally was something special. Actually i checked mags last night I think I didn't like many eds in this year.. not even summer issues, especially bikini eds, which I usually love, felt anything special. Maybe I have bought wrong mags all year

My favorite celebrity ed is Alexa (Alexa Chung) Harper's Bazaar UK March 2009

Yes, this one is amazing!!! It was on my desktop for quite a while

 

[dior_couture1245]

Top 3:

3. "Exposure" by Solve Sundsbo ( here )
Edita at her finest. Her body is incredible and Sundsbo really captures the intensity and extremity in Edita's sensuality and sexuality.

2. "McMenamy: The Legend" by Steven Meisel ( here )
And amazing editorial. So powerful and so striking. Kristen proves how talented she is. She is so mesmerizing and so haunting and frightening and stunning it's incredible.

1. "Sunday in the Park" by M&M ( here and here )
Three amazing editorial models: Lara, Guinevere and Edita. How could the results turn out anything short of incredible? I love this editorial because it is so charming and warm and lighthearted. Gorgeous styling (thanks to the abundant use of Prada and Miu Miu), wonderful lighting and lovely color quality. The whole editorial exudes happiness!

Additions to my previous list:

Coco Rocha by Tony Kim for Vogue Korea, October 2009.

Liu Wen and Karmen Pedaru by Sebatian Kim and Havana Laffitte (Stylist) for i-D Winter 2009-2010.

Iris Strubegger by Solve Sundsbo and Marie Chaix (Stylist) for Vogue Italia, February 2009, one more.
I really don't like this editorial, but it seems "important" in that I have seen this style mimicked in other editorials and campaigns.

Alana Zimmer by by Paul Wetherell and Mattias Karlsson (Stylist) for AnOther Magazine S/S 2009.
Simple but compelling.

I really can't think of one ... none of them pop into my head right away.
I think the quality of magazines has really gone down.
