Sticker on Cover: US Vogue May 2012


US Vogue May 2012
Scarlett Johansson by Mario Testino


"I feel like I've seen this cover a dozen times before. 
Tilted head, Grace Kelly hair, red lipstick, same type of dress. 
It's utterly boring. And the editorial is extremely random and cheesy. 
And it doesn't help that I have zero interest in Scarlett either.
 I really don't like anything about this. US Vogue was on a good path 
with the recent covers and cover subjects but this feels 
like a step back to me."(from tfs) 

這comment真的一針見血.
好久沒看US Vogue, 反而更喜歡UK和中國的, 
它們至少能給我一點我沒見過的驚喜或新鮮感
我從沒減少對Anna Wintour的肯定, 她是傳奇,有能力操控和製造時尚,
但她不再挑戰過去的自己,是最讓讀者失望的。
上期《號外》有句說話值得深思: 當一個institution, industry
及至一個社會都要因循一種既往的成功模式不斷重覆自己,
就只會逐步走向窮途末路。
