Supermodels – A League Of Their Own Vanity Fair September 2008

I was waiting for this. I bet everyone was. And even if the cover doesn’t feature the supermodels, the goodies lay inside.

It’s like a wine getting better with age – the six wonders that not only the connaisseurs appreciate go Vanity Fair in September for our eyes delight. Even if fashion photography doesn’t really embrace the smile as a common used pose, the six supers are all smiling wide in the first picture from the editorial. As much as I would’ve appreciated it, I still find them artificial. The only one with a semi-natural smile is Naomi (more after the jump)

Going further, the second photo with half of the girls almost naked: what to make of it? Why not get them all to undress? Is there a secret code to the story and we’re not aware of? Why do you think they made them pose like this? How does this all make you feel?

How does this make me feel? How fast and much fashion photography has changed in not that long! This photos looks now old fashioned though more friendly even their smiles are not really naturel. Naomi does even look cute!
I’ve no clue why the girls are not all naked? Maybe they got a choice to do what they did like?

Is that grouchy-dark-gloomy look which we see today au-natural?

How does it make me feel?
Well The some of them nude photo brings to mind Greek goddesses posing.
Naomi never seems to pass up a chance to go nude! I could just imagine her saying “I’ll do it!!” even before the question was asked! They all look nice. They’re Back… : )

Adriana I think you’re right.. I’m looking at the pictures and ask myself if I don’t find them unnatural just because my perception regarding the fashion photography changed so much lately. A friend once told me that fashion photography is under a non-smiling totalitarianism. And as much as I wanted to see people smile in fashion poses, now I understand I couldn’t really appreciate them doing that anymore… How twisted!

hahahaha, Ellington, you’re right! I bet she was the one proposing the nude photo just to show her glorious behind!
