Vogue Shape Issue - Where’s the Fashion?

Gisele VogueCongrats on putting a black man on your cover Annie, but did you have to make him look so, um, non-fashionable? I get that it’s the Shape Issue, but you’re not Cosmo, this is fucking VOGUE!!! You are supposed to be setting an example, not following in the trends of every other shitty magazine. LeBron should be in a suit, a pair of slacks, a something that isn’t basketball shorts, sneakers and cut off shirt. And what the fuck happened to Giselle? That dress not only clashes with Cleveland’s finest, it looks like she’s about to be flung across the room.

While the racial undertones are apparent (Fashionista’s “Me Tarzan, You Jane” reference isn’t too far off from what I thought, though my personal feelings we’re a bit more unacceptable for print) it seems that you’ve completely ignored the fashion in this issue. It feels like every month you are trying to be something different Vogue. Get your bipolar in check and get back to what you’re good at, discovering fashion trends and making the unfashionable feel like shit for not picking up a copy of your glossy every month.

I’m averting my attention to French Vogue this month. They at least know how to put a black man on the cover correctly, fully bearded and in heels.

About the Author: Founder and main dude at Fashion Indie, Daniel Saynt began his career in fashion at the tender age of 14, when he worked in the stockroom for some unnamed fashion whorehouse. His distaste for the mainstream quickly festered until he decided enough was enough, denouncing all mainstream fashion lines (unless the stuffs on sale or just down right irresistible or free, you can't say no to free).
