Is Vogue Paris in for a directional change? And is it for the best? That's the question that has been on just about everybody's lips since Emmanuelle Alt replaced Carine Roitfeld as editor-in-chief of the print media title. So it is that every issue that Alt releases to the public is not solely digested, but is picked apart with fervour. And today that process of critique, a critique applied to few other titles, is taking place all over again with the release of the magazine's June / July 2011 issue. While the usual feedback on everything from the cover to the editorial will be posted across the webosphere, it seems most pertinent to take a look at one of the issue's lead photo shoots, one that Alt both oversaw as editor-in-chief and personally styled, in order to answer the question of whether or not Vogue Paris is moving backwards.
Starring Isabeli Fontana with a cropped hairstyle reminiscent of a young in a Sophia Loren, a quick social media search will show you that it didn't take long for readers of the issue to draw comparisons between this shoot and others which have come before it, particularly 1989's Cuba pictorial featuring Linda Evangelista and lensed by Steven Meisel.
So the Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott-photographed shoot isn't exactly original. Thus there are two questions raised: first, is the photo shoot, none the less, any good? And secondly, does the lack of outright originality matter?
