Let’s Chat - August Vogue

It is mid July and that means a new issue of Vogue has arrived! This is always my favourite delivery and let me tell you when I opened it I was instantly in love with the cover - jaw dropped!

The use of bold blue and deep greens in the background contrasted by a neon green both for the title of Vogue and Doechii’s dress. The photos of Dloechii in this issue were amazing; they were almost 80’s colours but so fresh and new at the same time. I really loved here interview notes as well. Everything from the makeup, hair, photography and clothing stylist was so cohesive. what I couldn’t take my eyes off where Dloechii’s deep red ombre gloss lips - this was the cherry on top for me - I am OBSESSED with these, the makeup artist was Jamal Scott and I think they killed it, I want a tutorial on how to do these lips!

Vogue’s scene section was emphasising sport, game day and stripes. This concept is cool but some pages I loved and some not so much. I loved the layered of colours and simplistic pieces. The photos were organic and emotive which I enjoyed and liked the contrast of colour and black and white photos. I personally would’ve liked to see a few more textures or slightly challenging fabrics. I did really like page spread 38-39however page 34 focusing on acne studios topsy-turvy look felt off, for me the colours and layers were not there, being the first page as well I think make it even more disappointing because the photo next to this with peplum trousers from Alaia was fun and loved how the photo was from a movement and really expressed the fabric and hair movement cohesion.
