Inside Emmanuelle Alt's Second Vogue Paris

Lucky for my magazine-obsessed self, Lauren toted Vogue Paris April 2011 from her honeymoon in Morocco and Spain. The issue, covered by Kate Moss, has all the traditional goodies found in Vogue Paris--Freja, Eniko, boobs, and Melanie Ward editorials--which makes it great. But as Lauren and I flipped through the issue together, we realized something just seemed off. The styling in all the editorials is excellent, though there aren't any sexy spreads à la Carine. Emmanuelle's simple, tough, tomboy aesthetic seems to be permeating all the editorials. The weirdness doesn't come from the editorials, but the blank space on almost every market and news page. Whereas Carine had her graphic design team cluttering the pages with shoes, old photos, lipsticks, and diamonds, Emanuelle has them cutting back. It's definitely clearer, but looks more like the streamlined pages of Elle and less like the flouncy, whimsical pages of Vogue Paris. Take a look inside after the jump, and let us know what you think!

Emmanuelle Alt's First Vogue Cover is Here

We've long speculated exactly what Emmanuelle Alt's Vogue Paris would be like... Edgier? Sportier? Tougher? But now we have definitive proof that the adjective we're looking for is softer. April's cover features Gisele showcasing her sweeter side in a white Dolce & Gabbana dress. She wears almost no accessories, and looks like a natural beauty in the landscape of St. Barth's.

Emmanuelle Alt's First Vogue Paris Cover to Feature Gisele in Dolce & Gabbana

Ever since Emmanuelle Alt was named as Carine Roitfeld's successor at Vogue Paris, there's been much speculation as to what Alt would do with the revered mag. Early on Gisele Bündchen was confirmed as Alt's first cover, shot by Inez and Vinoodh in St. Barth's, but what would she wear? We thought perhaps Balenciaga, as a way put an end to the bad blood between Vogue Paris and the iconic French brand that existed during Carine's reign. Others thought Balmain or Isabel Marant were shoe-ins because of Alt's previous position as stylist to those two houses. (Jobs she gave up for her new gig as Editor-in-Chief.) Today, however, the mystery is over, as Alt confirmed to Vogue UK that the cover would feature Gisele wearing Dolce & Gabbana.
