I still remember the quote "A picture says a thousand words" from The Princess Diaries (although I'm sure The Queen wasn't the first to say this). Might I add "even if the other words are in French" to the end?
Yes, this is about Paris Vogue, my new favorite magazine.
After arriving in Paris a few weeks ago, I had to stop and buy Paris Vogue. People always claim that it is much better than American Vogue (and it is, by the way), so I found a bookstore, paid six or eight Euros, and threw it in my suitcase before walking to my next gate. Yesterday I finally had a chance to flip through it and I was/still am amazed. I want to carefully cutout every page (minus the nudes) and put them all over my wall.
The photographs are stunning and very inspirational, not just aesthetically, but in a different way. I can hardly be classified as being able to speak French, but even though I can't read the captions off to the side or understand the title of the editorial, I can still grasp the thought and meaning through the photograph; it says a thousand words.
My favorite photographs are part of a twelve page spread called "Le Chant Des Sirènes" shot by none other than the amazing Patrick Demarchelier.
Let's face it, French Vogue makes American Vogue look like one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters.
If anyone would like to lend me $124 for a subscription, that would be much appreciated..

Living in france, Paris Vogue is about the nearest i can get to fashion sanity. It has an esscence of parisian charm, which i think is what makes it so lovely.
The one downer is, there always seems to be a not exactly decent amount of nudes. Hmm.
And i never read the articles in Paris vogue until i've looked at the pictures. I'm not sure why, though, prehaps i'm just more drawn to the photos.

oh wow, those pictures are stunning. i definitely agree; Paris Vogue seems to be much much better than American Vogue. oh well! i think you can buy them at Borders...maybe i'll go pick one up!
Ah I bought that issue of Vogue when I was in France! And I feel EXACTLY the same way about it making American Vogue and even American Bazaar look so...blah. The fashion spreads are ALL inspiring ass opposed to only finding a page or two in a normal fashion magazine. I want a subscription, too! Hahah
