    "Mark your calendars! She by Sheree, apparently some design offspring of a Real Housewife, is coming to Fashion Week."

    Fashion week has jumped the shark.

    America is way more conservative than Europe when it comes to fashion, that's why American Vogue is always a year behind the French or Italian version; American women - in general - need time to let the avant-garde become more mainstream before they will chance it.

    So if it's Charlize in September, that must mean Drew Barrymore in October.

    I got this issue over the weekend and well, it's OK. I don't know if I can handle another Charlie interview, but the Jenny Sanford article was at least somewhat interesting.

    I still had trouble finding the table of contents. I wish there would be a little flap you could pull out and open up to the table of contents, but then that would deprive you of the wonderful majesty of flipping through a gajillion ads.

    I might catch some flak for saying this, because even though I am a fan of Meisel, Leibovitz, et al, I think sometimes we get this deja vu because these photographers have worked for the mags so much that they're inevitably going to recycle some ideas, either consciously or not. More fresh, young/new talent would be welcome.

    @galaxina: I think that's basically inarguable. The well of ideas runs dry for everyone after a while, and the constant productivity that top fashion photographers are pressed into only hastens the process. Vogue needs new blood.

    Liya looks both highly skeptical and distinctly unimpressed with her hair in that first photo of her (photo 9).

    I like the Leibovitz photo of Karlie Kloss, when it's juxtaposed against the editorial photos. I look at them and realise that what's stunning about her is not so much prettiness (which isn't to say that she isn't pretty), but an incredible level of photogenicity (if that's a word). It's like, if you take each of her features in the portrait separately, they are almost ordinary (note I said almost), but in the editorial shots, she becomes like a work of art. I am in awe.

    @t-yo3: I once heard someone say that being photogenic really just means being able to hold your face really, really still. A lot of people with her features would have twitched before they could have caught that picture.

    In my ideal world, the articles on Roger will make the issue much bigger.

    I actually like that picture of Miley. I think it makes a statement on the entertainment and tabloid industry's exploitation of young starlets. She looks like her innocence is being stripped away from her. It's a very powerful photo.

    From picture 5, I hope it means grey roots are the new black. If so, my hairstyle is now officially highly fashionable.

    I saw it the other night and found it a bit dull. The one really worthwhile scene is Andre Leon Talley playing tennis in his LV getup (terrific).

    I thought the Valentino doc ("The Last Emperor") got more of the glamour, talent, beauty of the fashion world, and was far more engrossing.

    In watching Vogue, I really felt it was an era that had ended...

    Just my opinion.

    I'm not scared of fashion, nor do I put it down. What I put down is the absurdity of exalting the people who create, shill, and buy it in a manner that suggests that they are doing something important on the level of curing cancer. I believe fashion, at its best, has artistic value; it adds something worthwhile to our culture. But, folks, you are not curing devastating diseases or working towards peace and equality. I don't put down your fashion. I do, however, put down the over-inflated sense of self-importance that some people in the fashion world project.

    @tallgirl-in-heels: Unfortunately, that attitude isn't only in the fashion industry. Most people aren't curing cancer, but I run into people from every walk of life in every industry with self-important attitudes. However, if a person IS really talented (as many fashion designers are, they're doing what I can't), I don't mind it.

    @greengrey: Oh, I know. I work in the legal field, which has more than its fair share of over-inflated egos. I hate the attitude there as much as I do in fashion. It's one thing to own your talent and expect the appropriate level of recognition for your achievements. It's another thing entirely to act like an entitled, superior, asshole because you happen to be good at something considered exclusive (like fashion), or that is high paying (like big firm lawyering).

    @tallgirl-in-heels: It's a fact of life that not everybody gets to cure cancer.

    I do however believe that everyone deserves to, and should, take pride in his or her work.

    @Jenna: I never said anything to the contrary. Rather, as I said in my reply to greengrey, everyone should own their talent and there's nothing wrong with expecting recognition for your achievements. Taking pride in your work, however, does not preclude one from having a sense of perspective. From reading your work, you seem to have a good sense of it. By contrast, the wealthy designer you wrote about who made you and your colleagues pose for hours on end without paying you or even adequately feeding you seems to be lacking a bit in the perspective department, and a little too well-endowed in the self-importance department. That the designer may be good at her job and deserves to take pride in her work doesn't excuse her behavior. But that's just my opinion.
