I need to get a new iPad but this is the reason why I can't reorganise the pics.
This was the French interpretation of Princess Di.
Every person in the Commonwealth knows she didn't ride.
I do wish this editorial wasn't so literal.
It would have been nice to have a French version of Di.
This just seems a bad version of the truth.
We all remember the sad Di - but it is almost as if the French are saying that they are happy they had a revolution.
Good hair, small earrings, gentle cream turtleneck with a beige/camel coat.
So classic.
This is where French Vogue goes all fetish.
Necrophilia much?
What a waste of skinny models to make them lie down.
I don't like excessive photoshopping.
And yet I feel guilty because I am in magazine mode and not used to shadows of any kind so paused at this photo.
The rest of the magazine was rather dull.
But nice excuse to say Hi! x
I love your comments that cut through all the blarney, but I have to admit that fashion magazines always evoke a ?????? response in me!

Jim, me too! I used to love it but now i am so inundated with images i can't take it seriously anymore - which is a pity.I miss my former innocence.
DeleteThe Di stand-in is more beautiful and far more intelligent looking than the original. That OTT outfit up top must be a costume designed for this shoot as I don't recall those frilly bits being quite so extreme but the '80s were the worst thing to happen to fashion since the chastity belt.
ReplyDeleteI do love Edie Campbell. I still miss Di - i know she was flawed but she is responsible for prolonging the royal family - so actually i think i should be mad at her nowLOL. 80's had an identity - the times after that - nothing to speak of!
DeleteOH! They completely missed her in every single possible way! Did you even see one glimpse? Nothing. OH well. She is like capturing a moonbeam. Difficult.....at best. Why try? that was a terribly pathetic attempt......if you ask me!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think they got her pensive ness and hair and that is about it.
DeleteThe look on her face; and her eyes were always fetching and appealing! These models look dead in their expressions.....Pathetic. Fire the editor!!!

ReplyDeleteI must admit that Vogue is not on my regular reading list, though I do appreciate you giving me the Cliff’s Notes version, and, of course, I look forward to any excuse to say hi…
Hey GF :)
DeleteSo many magazines have been doing a bit of a Di Homage thingy lately- why? What's it all mean? Love it that you've popped in x
