Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, October 2010

Here is my translation from French to English of the editorial that Carine Roitfeld penned in her own hand for the October issue of Vogue Paris. Though brief it is adorable and I am a completist so I wanted to include it here.

Si un seul mot devait résumer l'élégance, le luxe, l'audace, le désir et l'esprit, nul doute que ce serait Vogue ! Un miracle enchanté qui fête ses 90 ans.

If only one word were to sum up elegance, luxury, audacity, desire, and spirit, no doubt it would be Vogue! An enchanted miracle that celebrates 90 years.

Happy Birthday
Carine.

Vogue Paris November 2010: Natasha Poly

For the cover of the November issue of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld selected Natasha Poly to interpret her vision of "Love & Peace." Far out, Carine! Mario Sorrenti manned the camera for the shoot. So far I have seen editorials featuring Freja Beha Erichsen as a blonde photographed by Hedi Slimane in "Temps libre" and by Terry Richardson in "La Geisha" (my favorite so far, sexy and pretty); Sasha Pivovarova by Mikael Jansson in "Un dimanche à la campagne;" and Iselin Steiro by David Sims in "Roller Girl." Cannot wait to see more...

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: Masked Beauty

The hypnotic green eyes piercing the black lace Phillip Treacy mask belong to Julia Restoin-Roitfeld of course, so gorgeous. The exquisitely detailed mask acts as a perfect frame for her mesmerizing gaze making her the perfect enchantress for the evening. Le bal masqué de Vogue Paris, quelle fête ! Julia, quelle beauté !

Christian Restoin Au Bal Masqué

Look what I found! By special request, here is a photograph of Carine Roitfeld's partner, Christian Restoin, at the masquerade ball to mark Vogue Paris' 90th anniversary. Christian is posing with his son Vladimir and Vivi Nevo, may I suggest that Monsieur Restoin might have been a bit more creative with his costume? Something along the lines of a leopard tamer perhaps...

Carine Roitfeld: Festin

It seems that the editorial "Festin" (or in English, "feast") in the October issue of Vogue Paris has resulted in strong opinions. Mine is that only Carine Roitfeld could make food look so pornographic! Visit the photo gallery to see the entire editorial "Festin" featuring the beautiful Crystal Renn and a pile of meat which she eats with abandon. The photography is by Terry Richardson. What is your opinion of this editorial?
