Kate Moss & George Michael | Mario Testino | Vogue Paris October 2012 | 'King George'

The controversy over Vogue Paris’ Kate Moss and George Michael October cover and Emmanuelle Alt styled editorial has been intense. Yes to ‘holy eyebrows’. Yes to Photoshop gone wild. Yes, to Emmanuelle Alt having an identity crisis — breakdown?— in her “a star is born’ video for Vogue Paris.

Alt’s video is pure milktoast and I can’t believe French women go for it. Young Japanese women perhaps. The only thing missing is Karl Lagerfled. He’s not in the video, right? I would love to be in Carine Roitfeld’s brain watching it.

Personally, I think Mario Testino has a great affinity for photographing women. And Kate Moss is — well Kate. Perhaps Mario is having his own identity crisis around aging and needs to erase the lifelines off of every face. As for George Michael, I would hardly recognize him, he’s either pulled too tight in real life or photoshopped to death. ~ Anne

Daria Werbowy | Mert & Marcus | Vogue Paris September 2012 | 'Le Noir'

Vogue Paris delivers a smashing editorial featuring Daria Werbowy as the consummate Smart Sensuality woman — who is often French. Wearing the finest black lingerie and furs, Daria rests in a verdant garden as a 21st century liberated woman goddess.

A couple young people have written me asking why AOC is green. Your answer lies in this editorial. Mert & Marcus make the fashion capture, styled by Emmanuelle Alt as ‘Le Noir Partie 4’.

Vogue Paris is in a state of transition again these past few months with more sensual editorials as opposed to the total devoid of this key life pulse so associated with French women. Hope springs eternal for me that the magazine will return to being the cutting edge, polished publication it was under Carine Roitfeld. I’m eager to see the rest of the September issue. ~ Anne
