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!

Really, Elle China? Yep, that Miu Miu dress that has been on the cover of 478329874 magazines this year has landed yet another one. Fei Fei Sun sports the dress in yellow on the cover of Elle China's December issue.

Some examples? Do your own flowers and scour Craigslist for a photog. {Refinery29} WWWhoops: For some reason, WWD decided to momentarily spill the beans about last night's CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner before it was actually announced. They swiftly deleted the scandalous tweet, but it was too late. {@themoment}

Textbook for Fashionista: Emmanuelle Alt!

Who doesn't know Emmanuelle Alt? Even before her somewhat new role as Editor-in-Chief at Vogue Paris, she was making waves in the blogosphere as their Fashion Director. She's typically spotted in a Kate Lanphear-esque ensemble--jeans or leather pants, a simple shirt and some kind of awesome blazer or coat. Ms. Alt has certainly nailed her street style pose too, but being shot as many times as she is, who wouldn't develop a trademark stance?

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.
