Vogue Russia december 1999

Natalia Semanova by Arthur Elgort
styled by Katharina Flohr



just nice photo-shoot by Elgort, who bacisally im not liking, but here everything looks really nice, especially group shot with shy cosmonauts) btw, i know some of you , guys, must be very `inspired` by that, so quite soon we will see some kind of `reminiscence` on that shoot in some russian magazine. fortunately, it`s not that hard- only to get an agreement from Korolev`s mission control centre))

Allure july 1997

Christy Turlington by Terry Richardson
styled by Ricky Vider Rivers



its been long-long time what i havent posted terry works, so some of his old contribution. indecently simple

( talk flirty to me )

THE FACE december 1996

Patsy Kensit by Mario Testino
styled by Carine Roitfeld



i just love the simplicity and the imperfection of patsy`s image. its almost off clothes, she looks tired, red eyes and i love that the face team keep it all. and sure, my favorite duo: Carine and Mario. i hope what their absence (actually Testino`s absence in french vogue) is just a pause in their co-working, cause i saw some their pics together on events. at long last theyre together since 1992!

Allure july 1997

Chandra North by Drew Jarrett
styled by Lori Goldstein



Allure was an amazing magazine about, actually, beauty, but there is tons of fashion, despite its thin size it was always well-packed. It was under Polly Allen Mellen who was creative director and stylist back then (91-99) Now shes just too old to work- after 60 years in fashion, being stylist and fashion editor for Vogue and bazaar earlier. back in the end of 90ies Chandra was my fav model (i just loved the idea of brunette with blue eyes). I still have a kindness for her, though she is no longer working and last time i saw her (it was long ago) she was longhaired, looks dull and surely it wasnt a high fashion, just some kinda` red` magazine

Vogue Russia september 1998

Gisele Bundchen by Perry Ogden

Russian Vogue launch issue. one of the best from all history and one of the best Ogden session ever (the other one is also for ru vogue- ill post later). Young gisele and that nostalgic feeling of soviet school...

Vogue Paris november 1996

Esther de Jong by Francois Rotger
styled by Dalphine Treanton



One of the editorial feautured in Vogue Paris of Joan Juliet Buck`s era (1994-febuary 2001). One editor in cheaf of one powerful magazine told me what then french vogue was a complete dump. I wouldnt call it like this, it was really worser that under Carine, but there still were good contributors like M-A Sauve, Carine itself was working as a regular stylist feauturing Mario Testino (and it was just a happening for me-their duo`s appearing quite often in issues).
I just adore that photo-story (mostly for the idea and not for the exception- it`s mediocre): thats gonna be such dissonance between: tattoos, clothes, model, atmosphere, but everything just works so well here. and even gross tattoos look like a delicate body painting. I can call that shot the best of all Esther`s career. she`s so seraphic and spiritualized here, look like a nymph of rainforest and i can`t picture more suitable model: her thin blond hair, almost transparent pale skin with see-through vessels, skinny body, tall figure giving her image that necessary feeling of soar and shots- the atmosphere of a morning dew and water color painting.

Vogue Russia june 2000

Amanda Moore, Adi by Enrique Badulescu
styled by Daniela Paudice




once upon a time there was Daniela Paudice working as a regular stylist for Vogue Russia, Enrique Badulescu shoted quite often for big publications such Vogue Italia and Vogue Paris in his dirty -colored manner (which i was loving pretty much). it was just a beginning of year zeroes. And the most confusing and weird thing in all this for me is what i remember all this like it was just yesterday and i `m not so old yet)

( a bit tacky fashion of the year 2000 )

Vogue Paris febuary 2009

Lara Stone seen by various contemporary artists



Since febuary issue was fully dedicated to Miss Stone, there are several works of modern artists: they presented their vision of Lara as an it-girl, model, modern fashion icon or simply object of an art. If you understand french- you can even read articles, sorry, im too lazy to translate.
