Frock & Roll
Models : Karen Elson and band & Jack White
Photographer : Annie Leibovitz
Fashion Editor : Grace Coddington
What I liked about it:
· Karen Elson and Jack White is such a unique and mysterious couple, it was a treat to see them featured together in the magazine.
· The article is well penned by Jonathan Van Meter. We get a really good feeling of what it is to be Karen Elson. She is portrayed as a multi-faceted woman: a wife, a mother, a model, a muse and now a singer.
· I looooove the first photo of the couple in the 70’s car; it really shows some emotions and intimacy between them.
What I didn’t like:· I feel like there was no storyline between the photos, no connection.
· I hate the picture of Karen Elson with the leaves crown; she looks like Jesus with a crown of thorns instead of a forest fairy.
· Jack White and Karen Elson both have such unique features, I think Vogue should have used that more.
Overall:
The article lives up to Vogue standards but I am disappointed by the photo series. Vogue had the perfect ingredients : photographer Annie Leibovitz, Fashion Editor Grace Coddington who was inspired for years by Elson and a beautiful and unique couple photographed together for the first time...the cake just didn’t rise !
What a lovely little set, here!!
