Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, February 2012

I have translated Emmanuelle Alt's editorial for the February issue of Vogue Paris from French to English. Oddly, I was impressed with her description of Las Vegas, her way with words is growing on me.

Rendez-vous désormais très attendu de l'entrée de saison, le spécial collections de Vogue met le cap sur Las Vegas, ville des faux-semblants, du clinquant et des rêves fracassés. Sous le feu de millions de néons acidulés, l'œil trompeur des fantômes d'Elvis ou de Sinatra, dans un tourbillon où le jour et la nuit se confondent, les looks phares de l'été prochain entrent en scène. Meneuse de cette revue de style? Daria Werbowy, la top model aux yeux de chat et jambes lianes, assure le show à elle toute seule. Une odyssée extravagante qui ne devrait pas déplaire à Marc Jacobs, créateur à l'aura de rock star qui a transformé la maison Louis Vuitton en cathédrale de mode. Alors qu'il est à l'honneur, le mois prochain, d'une exposition à Paris, il évoque sa carrière, sa vie, son goût de l'art et ses rêves. Autre invité de marque de ce numéro, Douglas Kennedy. Champion du best-seller, l'écrivain américain expédie son héros à Vegas, dont il fait le cadre d'une nouvelle exclusive. Envoûté et révélé à lui-même par cette cité de l'excès où tout est «larger than life», il décidera d'y rester. Dans la vie comme au jeu, les voies du hasard sont impénétrables.

Rendez-vous now with the long awaited coming season, as the special collections of Vogue head for Las Vegas, the city of sham, tinsel, and shattered dreams. Under the fire of millions of neon tubes, the eye is fooled by the ghosts of Elvis or Sinatra, in a whirlwind where day and night merge, the looks of next summer appear on stage. The ringleader of this review of style? Daria Werbowy, the top model with cat's eyes and legs like vines, providing the show all by herself. An extravagant odyssey that should not displease Marc Jacobs, the designer with the aura of a rock star who transformed the house of Louis Vuitton into a fashion cathedral. As he is being honored next month, with an exhibition in Paris, he talks about his career, his life, his taste for art and dreams. Another distinguished guest in this issue, Douglas Kennedy. Champion of the bestseller, the American author sends his hero to Vegas, which is part of a new exclusive. Bewitched and revealed to himself in this city of excess where everything is "larger than life," he decides to stay. In life as in the game, the ways of chance are mysterious.
