Vogue Paris: Le Noir – Partie 2

Posted on Aug 20, 2012 in Fashion

Darlings, your pretty of the day, it is here. A little stark, a little scary, and a little in need of mascara at the moment, but nonetheless, very pretty. It’s a shame they’re running this in the September issue, because it would make one kickass Halloween editorial. The shot where she’s standing in the field wearing the black Gucci dress is downright eerie. Like something from a fabulously styled nightmare.

We think it’s long past time to update the whole Wicked Witch iconography and make her a fashiontastic diva bitch. Just think of how much more fabulous all those front-door Halloween decorations would be if the witches all wore Chanel. Who’s with us?

Wow. Is that one on stilts or is she really just that tall?

I think I’m going to have nightmares now….

Pretty damn cool.

Pretty! And is it just me or does the model look a lot like Claire Danes in some of these shots?

  I almost posted the same thing

  I was thinking Gwyneth Paltrow, especially the YSL shot.

Looks like Elena from PR is “on trend” after all.

I totally agree with the stark and weird and eerie, but they’re beautifully done photos. And they would have really been great for Halloween – they have a little of a scary Hitchcock feel.

This is so beautiful. I know some fabulous witches who dress like this…although not in Chanel.

The shot in the YSL is my fave, but I’m all about this spread. I never buy U.S. flavor Vogue because it bores the daylights out of me, but I am so here for this. Why are all of the international Vogues so much more interesting? I think Vogue Korea is my favorite.

Hey, I dig the whole American Gothic Inquisition Fashionista vibe they’re putting out.

  Yes very American Gothic, but i like it!

Love love love

What a cheesy background. Didn’t Vogue have enough money in the budget to spring for a real field for the models to stand in? The clothes look too costumey-you kinow, vampire/Amish. They would have been great in the Dark Shadows movie. In fact, Johnny Depp might have wanted to wear some of them. What a mess.

this fabulous post made me realize i have not had a SWINTON fix in a while.

i dont know why they didnt incorporate the haider ackerman gloves into this business. theyre one of the very bestest of best elements out of all this stuff.

Ornate Amish.

The hats struck me as being a bit Hasidic.

Oh em gee. The stark lines, the saturated colors. I love this. There’s a Magritte feeling to a few of the shots, and something Bauhaus to the aesthetic. The sharp edge to her bob. Le sigh. Love, love, love.

This also marks the first time I have wanted a piece designed by Versace. I’ll take that coat, boob crosses and all, thanks.
- DeTrop
  
  That Versace coat is a must have.
  - Introspective
    
    The single piece in this editorial Id cut a witch for is that Versace coat.
    
    Lurv.

I love the saturated colors of the landscapes. A great background for the stark clothing. The model is really rocking those outfits. Well done.

It’s like Karin Dreijer Andersson decided to style a shoot for Vogue Paris.

Andrew Wyeth goes goth. This is beautiful.
guest2visits

Yes scary, but fantastical; at least they were TRYING to be a chilly hoot, instead of incidentally.
Creepy or not; I stil like the first three desgns: Chanel, Ackermann, and Celine. And I like the sleeveless version of the Prada.

Suvi Koponen! So glad to see someone from my country wind up here!
RzYoung

Striking! I love it.

Hey! The Disqus went back to the better/old format. Yay!

  Yay is right! I couldn’t figure out that new format to save me and accidentally deleted my post.

If The Crucible had been styled like this I probably would have liked the movie version better.

Children of the Corn. I love it.

Very children of the corn….

The distant shot in which she’s bent at the same angle as the tree is glorious.

WICKED GORGE. I always pictured Elphalba from Wicked dressed like this.

LOVE the tree in that Gucci shot.

Suvi is such a wicked editorial model.

The first pantsuit, Chanel, is MINE.

Photographers & Stagers – Go to Korea to learn how to do it right! Don’t love the editorial

Guess Elena of PR is “on trend” after all.

On vacation and just catching up but I had to comment on this post. It’s exquisite. Thank you TLo because ‘wow!’ that is some odd, eerie, gorgeous. The Gucci yes but the Givenchy and the YSL are amazing pics. And I want the Prada so much it hurts.
texashistorian

No. 9 (Gucci in a field) made me laugh out loud. Dunno if that’s the effect they were going for…
