VOGUE OFF

Not everything is about Anna Wintour.  Or The Devil Wears Prada. Or Anna Wintour.  Or Anna Wintour.

Flying the flag for the UK is Alexandra Shulman...  "I haven't ever tried to be a sort of perfect, cool character who doesn't have the problems that everyone else has," she says. "I guess I've done it by being determinedly – 'Alex, she's so real,' you know?" (Aida EdemariamThe Guardian, Saturday 5 December 2009). Which is, um, endearing? 





Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris... "Everyone tried to be this Gucci girl that we created. So I am sure we were part of this tendency. It was good at the time because we were the first ones to do these kinds of images to sell a product and after that everyone kept on doing it. I think now it’s too much. It’s no fun. It’s not chic. We always had a chic eye on everything, even when we shaved the G on the girl. A lot of girls started shaving their pussy in different ways after that so it really became a trend".  Referencing the Ford advertising that i love so much, not everyone can say pussy and get away with it.  Shulman would probably find it a bit awkward. Awkward laugh Shulman.




Christiane Arp for Germany... Couldn't really find one remotely interesting thing about her, except for the below leather pants. Which are pretty cool. So, errr...


Franca Sozzani for Italy...

 This is the period in which everybody only talks about diet. Too late and too boring!

People dislike you being successful. Sooner or later they'll try to destroy you.

Aliona Doletskaya for Russia... “Fashion is a world in which everything is gorgeous, stunning, caramel on top of caramel, and cream on top of that,” she said. “But in reality you have to fire people, to say things that are not particularly nice. There is a contrast between what you do socially and what happens behind closed doors".  Not every Vogue editor can be so straight talking and pose topless for a magazine cover...
