The Style Of Emmanuelle Alt
By Kamila Brudzynska
Nowadays, Emmanuelle Alt is one of the most influential women in the world of fashion. She has been the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris for one year but she has been present in the fashion business much longer. Why do I love her? Emmanuelle and Paris fashion are the crucial reasons I am going to study journalism with French. I know it is a little bit naive but one of my biggest dreams is to work in the fashion industry someday, maybe even with Emmanuelle. I would really like to know the secrets of her work and see all the processes of creating a new issue of the magazine. I know there are plenty of people who want the same thing but I also know that dreams can come true and I will fight for it.
Emmanuelle's style is so amazing for me. I am a huge fan of her way of chic and casual elegance. Her professional style and the private one are perfectly different. I fall in love with her stylizations in photo shoots at the first sight. I was really impressed. Since then I have been following all the news about her and her work. You really should see my happiness when I found your web site! I think it is great that when she styles, she chooses not only the clothes which she likes but also those which are or will be trendy. This is something that is similar between me and her. I pay attention both to outfits which suit me and to the ones in which others look good.
I like to call Emmanuelle "Kate Moss among editors." They both are independent to some extent, though we must not forget about their obligations to Condé Nast and contracts. Moreover, they are both themselves in their private lives. Kate wears whatever she wants and sooner or later it will become "must have" for every woman, Emmanuelle has a few rules and she does not break them (for example wearing neutral colors, her dislike for skirts). They are considered rebels in the world of fashion. What is more, only their families know their true personalities. Emmanuelle does not like showing her private life too much, she talks about her children and husband but in a very reserved and careful way.
I have to honestly admit that Carine Roitfeld was a better editor-in-chief. When Carine and Emmanuelle cooperated with each other they were the best team. Maybe this is the solution which Emmanuelle needs? Maybe she has not got the best "dream team" right now? I am not saying that people are working in the magazine in a bad way but maybe Emmanuelle is still working on establishing mutual understanding and when she finds it, she will be able to do her best with Vogue Paris. Carine was definitely a great editor, her stylizations always included something amazing and she wears incredible clothes, she is an icon. Nevertheless, for me it is not enough. In my opinion, Carine is so deeply devoted that it mirrors her. It seems that Emmanuelle has got a bigger distance. She is creating fashion for fashion, not for money, power, or scandals, she is just doing her job in a fabulous way. I am not saying that Carine was not a professional but she seems to have exaggerated with this what she did.
In conclusion, I think that Emmanuelle Alt is an amazing woman. Fashion is not boring for her and she still loves it and fashion loves her, too. She is never a fashion victim. One year cannot define her work as an editor-in-chief. She still can make big things in this business. I believe it is worth waiting for her Vogue Paris.
