Not Some Random, Fancy-Ass Editorials

Is it just me, or do you find the "editorials" lately really dull and uninspiring? Some long-legged girl with her cut-offs running around the beach, or standing in front of a grey backdrop, is not "inspiring" or in anyway "interesting." Vogue US photoshoots have been alright lately(or ever since June 2011), but why the fuck is Natalia Vodianova rolling around in a circle? Anyway, I've decided to do this monthly sort of post that I write about the few decent magazines that I like. It'll probably only last for 3 months, but until then let's look at some kick-ass editorials.

Numéro #133 May 2012 — Other than the overly saturated and dark cover, I'm in love with the whole thing. First there Eniko covered in neutral-coloured dresses and flowers, along with Ginta Lapina just being Ginta Lapina with puffy hair. But my favourite is definitely Abbey Lee in this eye-catching photoshoot full of bright graphics and sharp tailoring. The styling, the hair, the angle of the photographs are just perfect.

LOVE Magazine #7 — Just when you thought LOVE #6 couldn't be more flawless, here comes the seventh issue. There are so much contrasting editorials and different styling that it feels like Dazed&Confused-meets-Vogue-Paris, but they work well with each other. Kirsten McMenamy is just being her flawless self with her beautiful hair, as a moth-voodoo queen and chilling on white horses. On the other hand, there's this completely wicked and random photoshoot by Mario Testino, with gems like Gwyneth Paltrow in a Viking Helmut and loads of grunge styling. Yes, grunge.

Vogue Netherlands May 2011 — Although Vogue Netherlands had only made its debut in April, its quality content could easily be compared to some other high fashion stable. Yes, there is one editorial of a girl running around on the beach but it's mostly a beauty editorial and I love the hair. Besides, look on the bright side. Look at Lara Stone being Lara Stone holding a puppy. Look at this girl modeling her bangles and tees and jeans. Look at this girl half hiding in the woods and wearing printed dresses, because people living in the woods always wear $2387098 dresses while gathering berries for dinner or something.
