Carine Roitfeld for M.A.C... Over-excited !

Carine is the queen...

Official Cover of 'Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent' Book

OK , now I am seriously getting excited about this ! A book describing Miss Roitfeld's career , her life and style !

"Carine, and her vision of French Vogue, embodies all that the world likes to think of as Parisian style: a sense of chic that's impeccable and sometimes idiosyncratic and which forever lives on a moonlit street as seen through the lens of Helmut Newton."--Anna Wintour
Karl Lagerfeld once said that if you close your eyes and imagine the ideal French woman, it would be Carine Roitfeld. She is a fashion visionary and a muse. Since the start of her career in the early 1990s, through her collaborations with the legendary photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has been credited with launching Tom Ford's career at Gucci, as well as turning French Vogue into one of the industry's most worshipped magazines.

This elegant volume is a visual history of Roitfeld's fearless career. A daring instigator, she is known for pushing the limits with her subversive styling ideas. Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld's creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld's lead and take risks with their personal style.
I am definitely gonna get one for myself plus a few extra for my BFFs !

Gisele Graces The Cover Of Vogue Paris

Vogue Paris' Emmanuelle Alt is following in Carine Roitfeld's footsteps by putting a big-name supermodel on the cover of her debut issue as editor-in-chief.

While her predecessor chose Kate Moss, the former fashion director nabbed Gisele Bundchen for the April issue.

The Brazilian beauty was snapped by Inez & Vinoodh on a country road wearing a lacy number from Dolce and Gabbana's spring 2011 collection.

It's not a bad start, but we're not blown away.

Carine Roitfeld's Vogue Paris : NO CHILD ABUSE ...

We were saying a few days ago how we disliked last Vogue Paris' spread why Baby models...

Humor Chic of the day :

Thanks Alessandro Palombo !

And the New editor in Chief of Vogue Paris is...................

Emmanuelle Alt !!!!

Vogue Paris announced on Friday that Emmanuelle Alt will take over Carine Roitfeld's position as editor-in-chief starting February 1st.
We can't say we're completely surprised.
Alt has worked at the mag for the past 10 years as Fashion Director, so it makes sense.
Congrats and good luck to you BB.

Baby Model... Not so Chic

Talk about kids growing up too fast.
Vogue Paris Cadeaux is featuring some very young models all dressed up in their December/January issue.
The little girls, Thylane, Lea, and Prune were styled by Melanie Huynh and photographed by Sharif Hamza.
Even though her name isn't in the credits, outgoing EIC Carine Roitfeld's fingerprints are all over this one.
But clearly, putting couture on 6 year-old girls is not the best way to showcase the designs, nor, we imagine, does it induce anything in the viewer but horror and revulsion. We're trying to picture the distaff version of this and we simply can't do it.

10 years and then she goes... Carine Roitfled leaves Vogue Paris and will be missed...

10 years at Vogue Paris... 10 years during which we grew up with Carine Roitfeld...
10 years of fasion tips , 10 years of creating fashion, crating a style , a unique style ...
Carine Roitfeld took the sad decision to leave and go for some brand new adventures...
We can't really picture anyone else but the french godess of fashion to run the magazine...
If we had a guess, we'd say Anastasia Barbieri...
So sad ...
Only one thing to do: from now on read Nippon Vogue and trust Anna dello Russo

Tom Ford And Terry Richardson Get Really Intimate

As we mentioned earlier this month, Tom Ford took on the role of guest editor of French Vogue's holiday issue.
And as part of a special feature he had a Pussy West themed shoot by Terry Richardson.
Luckily for us, Terry posted several of the images on his blog.
And while the shots are interesting to say the least, we’re loving the full-on kiss between the two.
The photos, which were taken on a ranch near Santa Fe, are looking fierce!

Love Is Forever By Tom Ford... Brilliant !

As we mentioned earlier this month, Tom Ford took on the role of guest editor for French Vogue's holiday issue.
And he decided to go for a special twist with his editorial Forever Love.
Shot by Tom personally, Forever Love features Clarissa and Doug rocking some amazing jewelry while getting rather intimate.
The Styling has been done by Benjamin Bruno and as usual we LOVE LOVE LOVE Benjamin's work... Pure Genius !

Last Edition of the year Best spread of the year !

Leave it to Ford to go for something different and not mainstream.

A Peek Inside Tom Ford's Vogue Paris

As we mentioned earlier this month, Tom Ford took on the role of guest editor of Vogue Paris' holiday issue.
The designer did everything from writing, styling and photographing — and this is the end result.

As creepy as it may be, we're liking Crystal Renn's La Panthere Ose or Cougar editorial.

Thoughts???

Vogue Paris being its usual surprisingly amazing magazine thanks to Terry Richardson and Crystal Renn
