I Am The Resurrection

After an incredibly long hiatus, and after the most ridiculous academic/personal/professional year you could imagine, I have started to begin posting again. There is much to be excited about in the magfashworld at the moment. In coming weeks I plan to post reviews of the Vogue Italia "Black Issue" - probably the greatest issue of any magazine I have ever seen ever - as well as the glorious new W. with Anne Hathaway on the cover. God, I love Anne Hathaway. They simply don't build bombshell brunettes like her anymore. I should also try to check out the September Vogue Paris in which she is allegedly featured. Here is a rather tantalising taster...


May God have mercy on us all.


I am excited about the new Vogue Australia with Catherine McNeil on the cover, which is out tomorrow - I believe this is her first Australian mag cover - and I have to say that Vogue Australia have picked up the standard a bit over the past few issues, and I am excited about its newfound sense of direction.

So I'm back. THE ONLY STRAIGHT MAN THIS SIDE OF THE ORION ARM WHO READS AND LOVES VOGUE.

More soon.

Love,

Jules

Back Soon/Vogue UK March 2008

So sorry for being away for so long. I've been preparing for the imminent return to uni, plus I've been trying to look for a place to live in the crazy Sydney rental market. Enough said.

Anyway, this is the unconfirmed cover, featuring Kate Moss, of the Vogue UK March 2008 issue. I have to say, this is about the most on-crack I've ever seen her. She doesn't look like herself but like a bizarre waxwork model of herself: like someone got 25kg of cigarette ash, 25kg of wax, mixed it up with a little bit of dirty water and was forced to complete a lifesize representation of her in less than an hour. I don't know what her dress is but I'm still loving this silver ascendancy.

I can't wait for the Feb '08 issue of US Vogue to hit the stands: this stunning edit with Catherine McNeill (for some reason was posted by my blogfriend Green Grenadine and whilst I don't want to steal her thunder, I love these pics so much I just have to post them again...the snakeskin bags (by Coach, Ferragamo and D&G) are completely lush...as is the volume of her hair.

On thefashionspot.com there seems to be much derision re: Catherine McNeill, which I don't completely understand....anyone care to enlighten me?
