Vogue Paris February 2003

February is a satisfying month for fans of Carine Roitfeld with the release of her second issue of CR Fashion Book and her first issue as global fashion director for Harper's Bazaar. I thought it would be interesting to look back at Carine's work from exactly a decade ago, the February 2003 issue of Vogue Paris. The IWTBAR team will review pieces from the issue throughout the month beginning with this fun look at the preferences of the VP team, fondly known as the French Voguettes. Styled by four different assistants and photographed by Thomas LaGrange, each page examines the individual aesthetic of one of the top Vogue Paris editors at the time: Carine. Emmanuelle. Anastasia. Marie-Amélie. Which is your favorite?

Personally, i miss this Vogue Paris and somehow, i wanted the CRFB to look a bit like Vogue Paris used to. It was so personal and very close to the readers.
It's funny to see how Carine, Emmanuelle and Marie-Amelie used to match their style with the house they have been consulting for: Gucci/YSL for Carine, Chanel for Emmanuelle and Balenciaga for MAS. I like that it's very close to their style today.

I miss YSL/GUCCI by Tom Ford. Carine and him were a perfect duo.

LOLA, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I miss this Vogue Paris as well. Nothing gold can stay.
