VOGUE UK DECEMBER 2014

vogue uk december 2014 is, as usual, my highlights of the current issue.

the magazine pulls some aces from its sleeve: a double kate moss cover. the model is also co-editing the issue: her world is featured in articles illustrated by mario testino, david bailey and tim walker. expect original insight into the life of the longeval model: favourites, friends and even her house.

get a glimpse below of kate’s boys, shot by david bailey:

* tim walker shoots an endless string of kate’s favourites. i like the layout!

* besides, this is the december issue, everybody! it’s full of adverts of possible gifts: watches, jewelry, diamonds, etc. i remember a piece of advice a women’s magazine was giving to its readers. they were supposed to earmark the pages featuring the gifts they wanted and leave the magazine around the house, for their partner to find. ha ha!

* two things about j.m.w. turner. tate britain has an ongoing show: late turner, paintings set free. at the same time, mike leigh has a new biopic on the big screen called mr. turner.

* a short but interesting article on the la art scene.

* a shout out caught my eye: an art gallery with locations in london, berlin and la. i’m following them on facebook already!

* uniqlo bought two pages to advertise their heattech range. lightweight clothes that still generate warmth. i’m very interested!

* apparently, kate also likes coca cola as a hangover cure. a long article trying to explain all its pluses… seriously?

* chiltern firehouse, one of the new hotels in london, is also apparently a haven for the rich and famous. owned by the same guy that own chateau marmont in la, andre balazs.
