Evolution Of Design In Vogue Paris

I noticed that the design of Vogue Paris changed with the August 2009 issue so I chose a few of my favorite pages from my favorite section to illustrate the evolution of the design. In the December 2007/January 2008 version of "Une Fille Un Style", Lou Doillon is featured as her demi-soeur Charlotte Gainsbourg was the guest editor for the issue. Isn't her bulldog Spyke so cute? I love that she decorates with butterflies.

In the April 2008 "Une Fille Un Style" shown, none other than Roitfeld sweetheart Giovanna Battaglia graced readers with a peep inside her private quarters (merci bcp, Olivier Lalanne!). I love Giovanna's quote regarding one of her favorite designers: "Je suis une fan d'Azzedine Alaïa. Chaque fois que tu sors en Alaïa, tu peux être sure que tu ne rentres pas seule..." (I am a fan of Azzedine Alaïa. Each time you go out in Alaïa, you can be sure that you do not return alone…). I wonder if she was wearing Alaïa the first night she took Vladimir home...

In the 2009 version of "Une Fille Un Style" below, we see the new design showcasing Tracee Ross, Diana's daughter. Which of the three graphic iterations do you prefer?

2008 is the most chic!

I concur, Kate! I think the new design is a bit bland myself.

Vogue Paris was at it's best during Fabien Baron's tenure as Creative Director. He is match to Roitfeld's intelligence.

Excellent observation, Baron! WHOA! Well, you know what I mean, not that Baron.
