Lady Gaga Is The Walking Wounded, Lensed By Inez & Vinoodh For Vogue US October 2018
Lady Gaga covers the October 2018 issue of Vogue US, styled in sensual glam looks by Tonne Goodman. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin are behind the lens, with hair by Frederic Aspiras and makeup by Sarah Tanno.
On October 5, Warnes Bros. Pictures will release version #4 of the tragi-musical love story 'A Star Is Born', starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. Vogue's Jonathan van Meter writes:
The first version came out in 1937, starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, followed by Judy Garland and James Mason in 1954 and Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson in 1976. Gaga thinks of it less as a remake than as a “traveling legacy.” Directed by Cooper, in his debut, the film is remarkably assured, deeply engaging, and works on several levels: as a romance, a drama, a musical, and something else entirely, almost as if you’re watching something live, or documentary footage of a good old-fashioned rock-’n’-roll concert movie.
“I wanted to tell a love story,” says Cooper, “and to me there’s no better way than through music. With music, it’s impossible to hide. Every fiber of your body becomes alive when you sing.” As Sean Penn said, after seeing the film more than once, “It’s the best, most important commercial film I’ve seen in so many years,” and he described the stars as “miracles.” Cooper and Gaga, and the film itself, are likely to be nominated for all manner of awards."
Sitting in Gaga's house in Malibu, Van Meter goes on and on and on about Cooper. LOL Wait up! He just noted that Gaga held her own with Cooper. Miracle of miracles, apparently. The soundtrack will be released the same day as the movie, and because this is a Lady Gaga production, "she has had a big hand in it". Hmmm, wouldn't yah think? I mean the girl can do something right. She CAN sing and she knows how to make songs that appeal to zillions of people who adore her. But wait up, Cooper zooms back into view: "There were many writers and producers who worked on different songs, but the brain trust was Gaga and Cooper, working closely with the blues-oriented producer and songwriter Ben Rice and Lukas Nelson, who’s Willie’s son." Whew! At least Gaga came before Cooper in the Lady Gaga Production brain trust.
Now for Gaga: she is a multi-paragraph, basket case: we know little about her new boyfriend Christian Carino -- first things first. Same paragraph we hear abut her being sexually assaulted as a teenager. I think we know that for about 20 years. Come on Jonathan. Give us some new and exciting insights about Lady Gaga. Throw her a meaty bone and let her talk. Enough of you; we want to hear from her.
Okay, she makes an appearance in #MeToo, but scratch that. Does she have an opinion? Nope. We're on to her PSTD and mental health issues. Pain. The woman's got pain. Like we know all that, too, Jonathan. Women know about all these issues, one part of the life of an enormously talented woman. She is not defined exclusively by her pain. How about talent? How about Trump? How about resistance? Are their any accomplishments? Any wisdom learned along the way?
Nope. We're onto the fibromyalgia and extreme nerve pain caused by fibromyalgia. Amazingly, the walking basket case known as Lady Gaga somehow made it through the filming of this new movie with the real star Bradley Cooper. How she made it to Venice for the film festival two weeks ago is a major miracle. I saw her strutting around in the new Celine collection from her buddy Hedi Slimane. Now I'm thinking that Bradley Cooler was carring her on his back, and they just cropped him out of the shots to save her reputation.
Okay, to be reasonable here (which is difficult in reading this interview) Lady Gaga gets a nice almost last paragraph, while letting out a "mordant chuckle" before the Mister Softee truck sound enters HIS consciousness.

"I'm sorry that my words in my most recent Vogue article were misunderstood. My intention was simply to express that I come from an older generation and am not technologically savvy."

Every Chanel Coco Mademoiselle campaign has a method, writes Elle. "There is always a tryst, then a twist -- the guy never gets the girl" I love to think it wouldn't be a Coco Mademoiselle commercial if she didn't leave the man in the end. 'Goodbye, I'm on to the next'—I like that," Keira Knightley, the face of the fragrance since 2007, continues.
Knightley returns as the face of 'Coco Mademoiselle Eau de Parfum Intense', described as a warm fragrance with notes of patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla. Mario Testino is behind the lens for Coco's latest adventure.

Hours after a Saturday morning report on The New York Times about the very significant and growing number of accusations against Bruce Weber and Mario Testino, Condé Nast's Anna Wintour issued a statement that the magazines will not commission any new work with the two men "for the foreseeable future." Terry Richardson was previously banned in October.
The Telegraph wrote today that Mario Testino, the front runner to photograph the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle given his long and close relationship with the royal family, was no longer under consideration.
"Today, allegations have been made against Bruce Weber and Mario Testino, stories that have been hard to hear and heartbreaking to confront," Wintour wrote. Fashion industry insiders described the industry icon as being deeply upset.
"Both are personal friends of mine who have made extraordinary contributions to Vogue and many other titles at Condé Nast over the years, and both have issued objections or denials to what has emerged. I believe strongly in the value of remorse and forgiveness, but I take the allegations very seriously, and we at Condé Nast have decided to put our working relationship with both photographers on hold for the foreseeable future."
Brands Michael Kors, Stuart Weitzman issued statements confirming that they will not work with Testino in the future. Burberry made the same pledge, although it hasn't work with Testino for a year. A spokesperson for Ralph Lauren, which frequently uses Weber to shoot its ad campaigns, said, “The allegations reported in the recent New York Times article are completely contrary to our values, and to our commitment to creating an environment where our employees and outside partners feel welcome, safe and can perform at their best. We will not do business with anyone who behaves in a way that compromises this commitment.”
Condé Nast also issued new guidelines for working with models appearing in their publications, and we will publish those guidelines separately. It's noteworthy that the organization again raised the age of its editorial models from 16 to 18.
Serena Williams & Daughter Alexis Olympia Cover Vogue US February 2018, Lensed By Mario Testino
Super talent and athlete Serena Williams covers the February 2018 issue of Vogue US. Baby daughter Alexis Olympia -- called Junior by dad, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, -- debuts as the youngest Vogue cover girl ever.
Determined to win 25 Grand Slam victories (she now has 23), Serena was forced to withdraw from the Australian open, due to a host of medical complications associated with her daughter's birth. Vogue covers those events in detail, and they were formidable. The Williams comeback is now scheduled for March, with Serena determined to best Margaret Court's all-time record.
The tennis superstar is instilling her well-documented determination in her four-month-old baby. “Women are sometimes taught not to dream as big as men. I’m so glad I had a daughter. I want to teach her that there are no limits.”
Mario Testino captures the entire Williams gang -- mother, sisters and new husband -- in a giant pajama party.
