Journey Through the September Issue Part 2

Continuing from my last read - campaigns and all, I resumed reading on the contributors page featuring, Jonathan Van Meter, John Holagate and Virgina Smith who talked about their experience on pairing designers and their muse for an editorial photo shoot, Irish writer and poet Colm Toibin, Hamish Bowles, etc

On 'up front' is the story of a beloved dog, Rose lost over 15years ago...quite an interesting story which I could not stop reading till the end

"Stop as any rabbit, she was all over white with one ginger war, a gingered spot between her shoulder blades. White dogs are slow to show their age"

Throughout its 120-year history, Vogue has been creating arresting images intended to make the reader's eye stop. And with a new book 'The Editor's Eye' which is a collection of all of Vogue's covers, fashion shoots,  etc it's an opportunity to explore the Vogue archive.

FLASH
A selection of top personalities, activities, books, and places that seem to be of important impact on the edition.

Life with Andre
This section is one of my favourite sections of US Vogue, it's also a top reason I'd get a copy of any edition...clearly speaking or in simple terms reading, listening or just watching Andre Leon Tally (my Spirit Animal) is the most thrilling experience I'd give up any thing for. Andre is more than experienced, he's one of the most important, conversant and respected personalities in the entire fashion and style world worldwide. His section in  the magazine, Life with Andre, he reviews collections, people, happenings amongst other things, comparing, contrasting and melding the past, the present and the future in relation with the unpredictable and abstract. In this issue, Andre goes back in time into the lives of fashion's notably top designers; Zac Posen, Prabal Gurung, Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, Yohji Yamamoto and Marc Jacobs- one of the most influential and prophetic designers both for his own label and for Louis Vuitton. These are designers who after careful studying and understudying of the industry they started their own labels and so far successes within all the challenges and hardworking.
Vera Wang's former boss thinks "fashion should continue to be inspiring, relevant and celebrate the individual spirit. It will always be important for designers to have unique voices and remain true to themselves." - Ralph Lauren
While Marc Jacobs hopes fashion's future leans heavily toward "a continued promotion of self-expression. More freedom, no boundaries - individuality and the celebration of dreams" I strongly agree with him on this.

The September Issue!!! Lady Gaga in Marc Jacobs for Vogue US 120th Anniversary Issue



Photographer:
Mert & Marcus 
Styling:


I am not quite a fan of Lady Gaga but this cover is riding straight through the highest part of my head (if you know what I mean). I'm loving it, I love it!!
Lady Gaga, who covers the anniversary (120 years of style) issue of Vogue posing in a chic Marc Jacobs frock, is also photographed nude for one of the inside pictures. She only has a bright magenta hat on.

Isn't it amazing?

In the interview, Lady Gaga spoke on her new signature scent: “The fragrance is called Fame. It must be black. It must be enticing. You must want to lick and touch and feel it, but the look of it must terrify you.”

Lady Gaga on the reinvention of the meat dress for her tour: “We were talking about putting the show together and I said, OK, what if I was someone’s grandma and I was going to a concert tonight. How would I know that it was a Gaga show? And we all just sort of looked at each other and said,‘The meat dress.’”

Lady Gaga on her music making approach: “I don’t really make records for people to listen to and go, ‘Wow, she’s a genius’. I’d really like you to order a drink, maybe kiss the person you came with that evening, or rediscover something about your past that makes you feel even more brave.”










912 pages of Fall fashion, collection reviews, profiles on model, designers, editor and Life with Andre....oh wow!
 I cannot wait to get a copy of this issue!!
