Vogue Paris August 2011: Lara Stone

Emmanuelle Alt chose Lara Stone to grace the cover of the August issue of Vogue Paris wearing a black dress from Haider Ackermann's Fall/Winter 2011/2012 collection and it is stunning! This is assuredly my favorite cover yet under Emmanuelle's direction; simple, memorable, cinematic, and sexy as hell. Brava Emmanuelle ! Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot this sizzling image. The text on the cover indicates that Emmanuelle will continue Carine Roitfeld's tradition of featuring total looks from 64 designers in the issue while also offering the top choices in films, exhibits, and books to distract us as the easy pace of summer ends and we return to routine.

Whoa, a profound observation was offered by ana on Fashion Spot: "Carine's favorite model watching a departure? Interesting." Keep in mind that the August issue was the first to be entirely under Emmanuelle's control... I guess that is a bit of tit for tat for the inspiration for Carine's last cover, the soft porn film Emmanuelle. Très très très très drôle...

Kellina, Emmanuelle should hire you to write the promos for Vogue Paris. Great post and that is a great cover. I am thinking Bonnie and Clyde. I bet Carine's eyebrow raised when she saw this.

i hope theres lot breast, body and soul in this issue..This should be the complete redesign of E.A

Hee hee! Aren't you so clever, Michael! How about the musical director for the cover? I would love if MC Solaar's Nouveau Western was playing in the background and it would add to her message, new West, new sheriff in town... Love your image of C with a raised eyebrow. An unplucked raised eyebrow of course! ;-)

Breast body and soul... This should be the mantra, Bernie!

So who is the new Fashion Director? I can't wait the September issue though. I wonder if the Balenciaga is back on the pages of Paris Vogue

[kellina]

We all want to know, thelsd... Does anyone have the issue yet? Perhaps it's on the masthead...

Paris Vogue's makes my heart beats so fast cause of the excitement of who'll be the nouveu fashion redactrice-en-chef fashion! my wild guess is M.A Sauve, Ludivine Poiblanc, Melanie Ward or Kellina de Boer??

[kellina]

Okay Bernie, now I am REALLY laughing!!!!! You are too kind. But thanks for all the laughter, I definitely needed it. It will soon be revealed, wild man, so stay tuned...
