Naomi Campbell Pop Magazine September 2009 Vs V Magazine 61 September 2009

  • Pin it

Naomi Campbell is having a magazine-love moment. She’s having a Pop September moment but also a V #61 shot by Karl the Kaiser himself.

As much as I could dislike the Pop pictorial for being to artsy fancy and less fashion for my taste, I’m bound to like it more in this magazines photo shoot duel. Because V #61’s Stranger In Moscow is almost blasphemous. (the story continues right after the jump with more pictures!)

Photographed by Karl Lagerfeld in Moscow (is it, really?), V’s September 2009 Naomi looks too bright, too cosmetic and too much to like it. You can see her tension and her fatigue, you can see a Naomi not really in the mood for modelling. And Stranger in Moscow? was that really necessary? I know the Kaiser is trying (and succeeding at times) to be youthful and trendy, but this time he tried too much.

Pop, however, tried to be uber artsy and all I feel is sand in my eyes after looking at those granulated pictures. There’s something about the new high fashion trends trying so hard to bring SM-techniques and specifics to the catwalk and magazines light it simply feels wrong. Not everyone wants a piece of that, is clear. And those not wanting to eat the new fash-SM trend cake are far from being dusty fashioned. I proudly count myself among those who feel SM is not an art compatible resource. Which photos you like best? Pop or V? (Photos via 1, 2)

Naomi looks nice in these shots. I do like some of them. And I must say that it is a nice change from seeing La Moss everywhere.

What has Naomi done to Karl then? Or was he only playing master in the game and punished her? How cruel! Nah, SM is not my thing. Thanks!

Ellington, beware there’s new ad-campaign with La Moss for YSL Parisienne. So beware girl.
I wonder if non-fashion people ever see the difference between all those brands or just think: oh there’s Kate again!
Lily Cole as the face for the London Look for Rimmel is lovely by the way.

Oh, sorry Naomi, I know it’s about you….
Sorry Michael, yes, it’s blasphemous.

Soon der Karl is gonna torture or pleasure us (whatever pleases you) with his naked toyboy Baptiste on wallpaper….(:|
