Inspirational

I know it's a little too late but I've just received my mail fedexed from home. You probably have seen images of Vogue Russia's September 2009 issue with Kate Moss but have you read the Editor's Letter? Inspirational words from Aliona as always.

Don't move. The only thing I want to hear from you my dear reader is the word 'amen'.

Am I right or AMIRITE? What say you?

Amazing Aliona

Right before the Marc Jacobs show on Monday, I had an afternoon meeting/chat and drinks at the Gramercy Tavern with Simon Robins and the stunning Aliona Doletskaya of Vogue Russia, my favourite edition of Vogue.

As you know, I’m a super big fan of Aliona and to spend time with her is something I never thought would happen. She’s INCREDIBLE! That’s all I have to say.

More updates to follow.

PS. Thank you for giving me a ride to the MJ show!

Bling it Up!

I'm sure you've seen the August 2009 issue of Vogue Russia with Dree Hemingway by now. IMO, it's Aliona's strongest cover of the year so far.

Well, I was inspired to wear a little bit of bling bling (or should I say bing bing cause we're talking about cubic zirconia here not diamonds) myself. I don't think I'll be able to afford ginormous Graff rocks in this lifetime but lookie lookie at this cute treasure I picked up last week. It's huge! It's perfect for those days when you want to punch someone on the face to leave a long, lasting impression. Hah!

Loves it!

Aliona Doletskaya on CNN!

It’s not just Anna Wintour racking up precious television airtime but my beloved Aliona Doletskaya (Russian Vogue Editor-in-Chief) is on CNN!

I’m not 100% sure about this but a friend who is a stylist told me that as far as circulation count is concerned, Vogue Russia is one of the top three, beating Vogue Paris and Vogue Italia. The other two are British and the American editions.

Hotness!

Thank you Vogue Russia!

Yeehaw! Finally, my own personal copy of Vogue Russia in flesh (or should I say in print) delivered direct to my mailbox. As I previously reported, Magdalena Frackowiak is on the cover of this month’s issue.

Simon Robins

Lookie lookie at who my friend snapped in NYC last week. It’s Simon Robins, Fashion Director of my favourite Russian Vogue.

Victoria Beckham for Vogue Russia February 2009 Cover

In a very rare feat, one of my favourite Vogues ever, Vogue Russia, featured a celebrity — top fem bot Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) — on their February 2009 issue cover.

I hope celebrities-on-covers won't become the norm with Vogue Russia though. In any case, it's still 104% fashyonnnn. The cover is fierce and cheeky at the same time. Posh looks absolutely flawless and stunning. It's nice to see her without the fake bake and that hat is gorgeous! Can't wait to see scans online when they are available.
