VOGUE PARIS, April 2011

This is the historic number that will inaugurate the new era of Vogue Paris: the first issue directed by Emmanuelle Alt. On the cover, Gisele Bundchen photographed by the Dutch duo Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin with a dentelle white dress of the Dolce & Gabbana spring/summer 2011 collection.

The curse of Paris Fashion Week

     

This Paris Fashion Week started bad, with the shocking video of Galliano and his dismissal at Dior, and it continues to get worse.

John Galliano's show, scheduled Sunday, March 6, has been cancelled; he will hold a small presentation to the press and buyers.

Yesterday, Christophe Decarnin, creative director of Balmain, was not present to take his bow at the end of the show. Why? The fashion designer was absent under doctor's orders, after having recently been released from the hospital, where he led his nervous breakdown. A Balmain spokesman said that Decarnin was involved in the design, but he worked with a new stylist, Melanie Ward, who replaced Emmanuelle Alt, who is focusing full-time on Vogue Paris. 

Someone stop this curse!

In London for her first ever Fashion Week as new editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris, Emmanuelle Alt was interviewed by http://www.vogue.co.uk/ and she spoke about her future first Vogue cover.

The new editor-in-chief confirmed rumors that wanted Gisele as first cover star, the model will wear Dolce & Gabbana and is photographed by Ines and Vinoodh ins St. Barts. Alt's first issue will arrive on newsstands in early March, the April issue.

Emmanuelle Alt's First Interview as Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris

It's the first interview of Emmanuelle Alt, the new Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris. She spoke to Hilary Alexander after the Chanel Haute Couture collection, and she said:

"French Vogue today is a successful magazine and it has a strong identity, so it will probably stay along the same line. But, I mean, some things will change of course, because we have a different eye ... It will be the same, but different."

Her first cover will feature Gisele.

VOGUE PARIS, February 2011

In the Vogue Paris' February issue, Carine Roitfled on the editorial writes: "Ce premier numéro de l'année met le cap sur l'Italie, les Pouilles précisément, et expose au soleil les 65 total looks de l'été prochain élus par Vogue". 

On the cover, the model Lara Stone with a spring/summer 2011 Gucci total look. The choice of Gucci was made because the Italian fashion house celebrates its 90 this year.

A dvd, where Carine Roitfeld explains all the spring/summer 2011 trends, is enclosed in the February issue.

EMMANUELLE ALT: NEW "REDACTRICE EN CHEF" OF VOGUE PARIS

The news was announced a few hours ago by President of Condé Nast France, Xavier Romatet, on http://www.vogue.fr/.

It's official: Emmanuelle Alt is the new editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris and she will begin February 1.

Already stylist and fashion director of the magazine for 10 years. She has spent her entire career in the fashion world, working for Elle and other fashion magazines; she arrived in Vogue Paris in 2000.

As the same Romatet said, Emmanuelle Alt has all the requirements and all the qualities to ensure a certain continuity to the magazine. Her decades of experience in Vogue Paris will live at the magazine moments of majesty similar to those experienced with the former editor, Carine Roitfeld. Emmanuelle will work closely with the "redacteur en chef adjoint" Olivier Lalanne.

The appointment was almost predictable and blows away the rumors that gave Tom Ford at the helm of Vogue.
