I don't consider myself a fan of Kate Moss - actually I've critisized her in this blog a few times -, however I live in the country that has seen her born and that contributes to spread her myth with the easy verbal diarrhoa from tabloids. Thereby, I have no option but to pay her attention and I recognize I was curious to see her wedding pictures taken by Mario Testino.
And here it is her cover for the US Vogue, a good example of a well-done cover:
a. the socialité selected is a model, that is, she knows how to pose with grace. Models should be on catwalks and covers, singers on stage and actresses on films.
b. the pose is good, although I would have prefered that Kate would stop pulling her head poses.
c. the dress is Alexander McQueen.
d. the photoshopping is excesive - nobody would put the real Kate on a cover - but appropiate for a mainstrem american fashion magazine.

No me considero fan de Kate Moss - de hecho, la he criticado en más de una ocasión en este blog - pero vivo en el país que la vio nacer y que más contribuye a crear el mito Moss con la verorrea barata de los tabloides. Por tanto, no me queda más remedio que prestale atención y reconozco que yo también tenía interés en ver las fotos de Mario Testino de su boda.
Y he aquí su portada para el número de septiembre del Vogue americano, un buen ejemplo de una buena portada:
a. la persona elegida es una modelo; es decir, sabe posar y lucir con gracia. Soy una de esas que opinan que las modelos están mejor en las pasarelas, las cantantes en el escenario y las actrices en las películas.
b. la pose es buena; a pesar de que Kate abusa de esos toques de cabeza
c. el vestido elegido es un Alexander McQueen.
d. el fotoshopeo es excesivo - nadie pondría a la verdadera Kate sin más - pero apropiado por tratarse de una revista de moda mainstream.

ReplyDeletefor real - it looks Linda Evangelista!!
I'm really over their awkward angles, they are tacky and I don't think this is any better. Glad they didn't use Leibovitz it would've been so much worse.
ReplyDeletedefinetly, Leibovitz would have been worse...
ReplyDeleteMe too I love seeing awkward pose and not all model can do that huh that's why I find her pretty and amazing.
