My hype for this issue had pretty much died. My adoration for the calendar had convinced me that the entire issue was amazing, but now after looking through this thread again I must admit I'm disappointed with the issue.
I dislike the cover. It's too similar to Sofia's, and Stephanie comes off looking so tense on the cover. I rather see her relaxed, and glowing with that effortless beauty that every princess should have. I also dislike her editorials. Stephanie just does not know how to model or work her face, or at least here she does not. And I do not understand why she must do a Caroline jump in Testino's editorial. It's just so random for her to do. I suppose Vogue Paris was trying to show Stephanie in a new light, something different from Pirncess, but unfortunately I don't like it.
The fashion editorials are disappointing as well. I do not appreciate this 80's styling that seems to be slowly creeping into Vogue Paris.
Even the En Vogue is lacking.
If I can buy the calander by itself, I will. But the actual issue itsel has hardly anything to offer me.
but i still don't understand the comparison btw this cover and the Sofia Copolla one ... so I thought I was lacking of memory ... then I looked back at it .... And except the fact both girls are benched down and the photos is b&w ... I really don't find any ressemblance ...c'mone Sofia is all about light and smile ... and Stéphanie is all about dark and mistery ... iMo that's a huge difference .... at least for me ....

Stéphanie needn't VP for that ... She's already a marginal princess ... I think they show the 'real' Stéphanie .... showing her as a Princess would have been non-sense !
but yeah the Testino's ed is a total miss, imo ... I hate it !

I feel that I'd buy this issue anyway, because without it, the wait until February 09 will seem interminable. But it'll be a purchase made from ritual rather than excitement.
No calendar for export copies, ah well, at least I know not to expect one now.

Overall there is nothing wrong with the fashion eds. But in the end this issue is dissapointing.
