us vogue sept 2008. keira knightley. cat/trini/klein. coco/mcdean. trini/elgort.

EDIT #1/cover. keira by testino. some people call keira too thin but I like her, even in bikinis. theme here is art galleries in Berlin. even if its slightly jarring contrast to grace's typically forward styling, its exciting. & keira really isnt exerting much 'modelling' energy, but the clothes & the pics are so good, it really works. maybe not a home run lead edit for seopt, but its quite good. cover is more typical us vogue of last 10 years, concervative, but adequate. I would have preferred to see sexy keira bikinis like say a charlize but for an actress cover story, mario & grace def pull it off. 7.7 of 10

EDIT #2 trentini by elgort. lots of leaping/ballet stuff. i usually love trini & also long time fan of elgort but this is a little less than you might want. tonne's styling is good tho. I just think with my baby Trini, should be better. 6.8 of 10.

EDIT #3 trentini, cat mcneil , stam & linchuk [?] in bridgehampton by klein. gotta love this. great swim bodies espec cat & trini. kleins pool is always fun, balloon animals etc. also subtle kinky subtext: lesbians, woman's world, future sex , all that. really hot for usually staid us vogue. 9 of 10

EDIT #4 coco by mcdean. nice studio shoot, tabitha's styling is fine, but somehow expect more from mcdean. I mean i like coco but its not her BEST work, its all just, 'pretty good' 6.7 of 10

EDIT #5 sasha by sims. whats here is great stuff, grace edited. Im just a huge sasha fan. magic. 7.7 of 10

EDIT #6 equus stuff by liebovitz. ho-hum annie. 5 of 10.

EDIT #7. jeff koons yacht design. hamish/dodie & meir pics. really good travel thing. 7.5 of 10

EDIT #8 miranda brooks on east end. elgort pics, better than his Trini stuff above. lover the LI stuff . 7.8 of 10

EDIT #9: amber 7 hume by meisel. amber looks great, but lots of retouch obvs. fun edit, but a bit....unimportant. 6 of 10

VERDICT: One Thumbs Up. Its a good sept ish but not a world-beater. still high marks for: trentini & cat by klein. sasha/sims. and keira and coco were ok. somehow want more from sept ish, but kinky klein shoot did surprise/excite.
