Vogue-à-Porter
dimanche 24 janvier 2010 
For the February issue of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld, Emmanuelle Alt, and Camilla Nickerson came together to style the editorial "Vogue-à-Porter" photographed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The spreads pictured here were all styled by Carine and star models Lara Stone, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Dree Hemingway.
In the first image, La dentelle fatale de Dolce & Gabbana1, Freja and Lara form a private parade of roses, the old fashioned beauties contrasting nicely with the black and white lacy knit of their undergarments. The satin chokers are the perfect touch.
In the next image, Les sexy dolls d'Azzedine Alaïa, I love how the models completely accept the lack of control they have in the situation quite like dolls. They seem a bit befuddled, but nearer bemused than bewildered. That leather skirt is killer. Have we seen Giovanna wearing that yet?
Finally, in La farce militaire de Jean Paul Gaultier2, Carine imagines a hot futuristic military look that only she could conjure up. Carine Roitfeld, je vous salue !

What do you think is the significance of covering up their faces?
To add an element of danger. The hooded one is traditionally subordinate but Carine manages to make them look masterful. What do you think?
It is dehumanizing in a way. They look like mannequins. I keep on expecting to see Andrew McCarthy in the background :).
Heh, excellent reference! Though of course I want to see James Spader and Estelle Getty pop in...

Sorry I did not have the proper terminology yesterday: hostage chic, it's all the rage.
