The FiFi Report 075

US Vogue March:
With the Sandra Bullock on the cover and the story inside. Asked about romantic comedies” I’d rather go watch one than be in one because I wouldn’t buy it if I was doing it now” or “I tried to have a one night stand and then I dated the guy for a year and half” But that is a bad hairdo in that shoot. Read Andre Leon Talley on the golden Globes “ the fashion was as exciting as dissecting earthworms in Biology 1 and every star should sack their entire team “! This is a bumper issue, the ‘power’ issue. What other magazines would you find a fantastic writer like Alexandra Fuller writing about the African Noble prize winner wangari Maathai ? And find a story on Dali’s crazy wife? Then read about Bono and his new range of clothes called edun : ( nude backwards: the name of their organic food chain ) and the new trend of “ conscious commerce”. Read about ‘Spamalot’, the kooky musical by the Monty Python guys and then about Alber Elbaz, the hot designer of Lanvin. Then there’s the fashion: wear 2 bags instead of one ( yes please! ) A must read.
US Elle March
Another bumper issue: with Eva Mendes on the cover and t the story inside too. Read that ‘ intimacy is the new luxury” ( no more does over the top launches, now it’s about a quiet dinner ). I adore the E Jean problem page ( Q: help, I have a cellulite on my bum! A: go and work as a volunteer at a hospital). Read about Mathew McConaghy and Penelope Cruz, the story on what’s hot in Dublin ( Bono?) and be amazed at Manuela Pavesi’s shoot with rings ! red nails! Brocches ! jewels! bangles ! (she styled it too). Then read the story on how to raise a baby without really crying… just be French.
Time magazine:
wwd says ” The latest issue of Time Style & Design, is polybagged with Time, and read the in-depth look at the Asian luxury markets. Kate Betts says “I think it’s the right moment to look at the Asian market because it’s the only thing anyone in the fashion industry is talking about right now.” Betts opted to miss the European collections this season to stay at home with new daughter India Josephine. In her stead, she sent London-based writer Marion Hume to the shows in Milan”
