Vogue Paris December 2011/January 2012: Kate Moss

Emmanuelle Alt pays tribute to David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust with Kate Moss as her pick for the December 2011/January 2012 cover of Vogue Paris. Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott photographed the image. This is an interesting choice as it marks the second time Moss acts as a guest editor for Vogue Paris, her first appearance was six years ago for the December 2005/January 2006 issue. Unless Emmanuelle has decided to end the guest editor tradition, which would be a travesty. What is it about Kate Moss that gives one the urge to style her like David Bowie? Note the cover of Vogue UK below, shot in May 2003 by Nick Knight. The December 2011/January 2012 issue of Vogue Paris will be available on newsstands beginning 5 December.

Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, November 2011

I have translated from French to English Emmanuelle Alt's editorial for the November issue of Vogue Paris which focuses on the science of beauty while taking time to chat with Kate Winslet and Joan Didion.

2011, année phare pour la beauté. Après une décennie de boulimie transformiste, la science s'allie à une certaine sagesse. La beauté tend vers un nouvel idéal, proche comme jamais du naturel parfait. Ce numéro détaille l'arsenal des techniques d'avant-garde dont on dispose désormais pour l'atteindre. Make-up du futur pour capter la lumière. Dopage cutané à l'aide de nouveaux carburants cosmétiques pour un look «fresh», indemne de stress. Micro-chirugie sélective prônée par les practiciens stars : on traque les rides de fatigue, on garde celles du charme, avec pour résultat un visage rayonnant qui préserve son expressivité — le nôtre, en mieux. Notre enquête sur ces nouveaux codes fait le tour du monde.

Hasard ou conjonction heureuse? La beauté, longtemps disqualifiée dans l'art, refait surface. Du Palazzo Grassi au Centre Pompidou du Metz, de la Fiac à Miami Basel, on assiste au retour de la séduction des formes et des matériaux, comme en témoigne Philippe Dagen, critique et essayiste. Signe des temps, la mode, bien sûr, s'allie à la tendance. Derrière l'objectif d'Inez & Vinoodh, la haute couture danse. Dans la rue, le blanc embellit et la maille seconde peau dynamise. Pour incarner la grâce, nous avons choisi deux visages. L'auteur américaine culte Joan Didion, dont l'adaptation française de L'Année de la pensée magique est donnée ce mois ci à Paris; la star oscarisée Kate Winslet, confondante de talent dans Contagion, de Steven Soderbergh, autant que dans dernier Polanski. Ou comment réussir en beauté.

2011, a banner year for beauty. After a decade of bulimic transformation, science has been combined with a certain wisdom. Beauty tends toward a new ideal, close to natural but never perfect. This issue details the arsenal of cutting-edge techniques that are available now to achieve it. Make-up of the future to capture the light. Doping skin using new cosmetic fuels for a "fresh" look, free of stress. Selective micro-surgery advocated by the star practitioners: it tracks the wrinkles of fatigue, it guards those of charm, resulting in a radiant face that preserves its expressiveness — ours, and better. Our investigation of these new codes went around the world.

Chance or happy combination? Beauty, long discredited in art, has resurfaced. From Palazzo Grassi to the Centre Pompidou Metz, from the FIAC to Art Basel Miami, we are seeing the return of the seduction of forms and materials, as evidenced by Philippe Dagen, critic and essayist. Sign of the times, fashion, of course, has joined forces with the trend. Behind the lens of Inez & Vinoodh, the high fashion dance. In the street, the embellished white and the mesh second skin energizes. To embody the grace, we chose two faces. The cult American writer Joan Didion, whose French adaptation of The Year of Magical Thinking is given this month in Paris; the Oscar-winning star Kate Winslet, astounding talent in Contagion, by Steven Soderbergh, as well as in the last Polanski. Or how to succeed in beauty.

Emmanuelle Alt: Vogue Fashion Night Out Tokyo Photos

Here is a bit more about Emmanuelle Alt and Vogue Fashion Night Out in Tokyo, special thanks to Iñaki Carvajal of Know Wear for the excellent photograph above which was sent to him by Roger Vivier, and to our editor-at-large Bernie Rothschild for collecting most of the shots of Emmanuelle in the gallery. I find the commemorative image of the occasion so interesting, imagine the logistics... Also visit Vivian at Lost In Translation for more coverage of the event.
