Freaky or Fabulous? Paris Vogue Gives Anti-Fur the Finger

European Vogue magazines are pushing some fashion buttons.

European Vogue magazines are pushing some fashion buttons. Alas, fashion must always be exciting, daring, and innovative. Can I get an amen?

First, Vogue Italia's all-black July issue and now editor Carine Roitfeld, with photog Mario Testino and muse Raquel Zimmermann, take a stand for fur. One of the longest standing debates in fashion — and here on FabVogue is clearly saying "in your face antifur advocates." This spread is provocative and aggressive; from the high-octane furs to the black leather to the raccoon-eyed model. It's powerful.

Powerful, but is it freaky or fabulous?

>> ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL —Introducing the first image from Lanvin's Fall 2008 ad campaign, with Liya Kebede and Raquel Zimmermann caught mid-motion on a dark city street, just as The New Yorker described it.  Hard to believe this was shot by Steven Meisel at Smashbox Studios in LA, eh?

Carine Roitfeld Pelts PETA in Vogue Paris August 2008

>> PETA has long targeted Anna Wintour for her fur patronage, even going so far as to throw tofu pie in her face in 2005, but Carine Roitfeld may have just put herself on the hit list.  In the August 2008 issue of Vogue Paris, Carine styled a shoot starring a fur-draped Raquel Zimmermann brazenly giving faceless PETA-like activists the bird.  Only a couple of pictures from the Mario Testino-shot editorial have appeared so far, but these images are sure to stir the pot.

Tanya Dziahileva Takes on Tonne Goodman for Vogue August 2008

>> In the second installment of Vogue editors styling models as themselves for the August 2008 issue, may I introduce Tanya Dziahileva as fashion director Tonne Goodman.  The stick-straight blonde hair, solid-colored clothes, and sunglasses are all spot on.

Karen Elson as creative director Grace Coddington still takes the cake, though; Filling out the rest of the editorial are Sasha Pivovarova as Elissa Santisi, Raquel Zimmermann as Marie Amelie Sauve, and Maryna Linchuk as Tabitha Simmons, none of which are as well-done.

Karen Elson Pulls On Her Grace Coddington Face for Vogue August 2008

>> In a fun riff on Carine Roitfeld's iconic Vogue Paris editorial with Snejana Onopka posing as Anna Wintour, the August 2008 issue of Vogue has an editorial featuring five models styled by five different Vogue editors in their own style.  Sasha Pivovarova, Raquel Zimmermann, Maryna Linchuk, Tanya Dziahileva are all involved, but first up, Karen Elson as Vogue's cat-loving creative director Grace Coddington.

Frankie Goes to Town; Plus, A First Look at Stella McCartney's Fall 2008 Ad

>>  I don't know what's changed with Frankie Rayder's life lately, but I do know one thing: She's back.  Not only is she being lensed for an unnamed September "extravaganza of an editorial," she's also popped up in two major Fall campaigns.

>>  I don't know what's changed with Frankie Rayder's life lately, but I do know one thing: She's back.  Not only is she being lensed for an unnamed September "extravaganza of an editorial," she's also popped up in two major Fall campaigns.

She joins Kate Moss in headlining Stella McCartney's Fall 2008 campaign, shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin at Kate's country house in Gloucestershire, England.  Meanwhile, she replaces Kate, who was Roberto Cavalli's Spring 2008 campaign girl, in the Cavalli Fall 2008 ads along with Angela Lindvall, Raquel Zimmermann, and Isabeli Fontana

Maybe we owe the pleasure of seeing Frankie again to Inez and Vinoodh?  They also did the Cavalli campaign . . . We'll know for sure if they photographed this mysterious September editorial in which Frankie has been cast.

>> Olga Sherer has been deposed from the Lanvin throne after two seasons.  The new blood?  Raquel Zimmermann and Liya Kebede, who were shot by Steven Meisel in March at Smashbox Studios in LA.  As for the look: "Downtown smoky burlesque woman," according to Meisel.  "Rich rather than dangerous."  Edward Enninful was on-hand styling, and Pat McGrath on makeup duty.  The prototype images feature Liya, wearing a black strapless gown with ruffles down the front, and Raquel in a plum-colored dress that ties around the neck, both on a dark city street.  The New Yorker writer who was on-set at the shoot says of the preliminary shots: [Liya and Raquel] looked kinetic, caught in mid-motion, as if they were about to hail a cab.

[Liya and Raquel] looked kinetic, caught in mid-motion, as if they were about to hail a cab. Behind the pair were the blurry lights of New York in the rain.

Lanvin ads never seem to disappoint, so I can't wait to see what these look like.
