Amber Rose in Elle Magazine’s October Issue

20090914 amberrose 1 Amber Rose in Elle Magazines October Issue

I know this is old by now but, In the midst of fashion week, I totally missed that Amber Rose was featured in Elle Magazine’s October issue , until I picked up the issue today. Little did I know that the “editorial” was also styled by Kanye West. Now,  I am not going  to speak on the fact that most well adjusted men I have spoken to,  would not display their woman’s goods to the world, even if the said woman was that hot and  in no way shy. Jean Paul Goude styled Grace Jones  ( they dated) with very little on but, his representation we can agree was definitely more artistic, and was clear in its direction which , contributed to make Grace Jones the Icon she is.

What I want to point out  tough is that this editorial  does not in any way  do justice to Amber Rose who,  like her or not,  is simply beautiful. Posing for a women’s publication  like a model on Smooth Mag, is just not a good look. It’s not even about repressing sexuality, or being prude about nakedness. Something edgy /sexy or out there conceptual that really showcased her beauty and “in your face curves” Like Elle puts it (whatever that means)Would have been amazing! I wonder what the  editors were thinking and if that was their way of producing a fast selling out Issue? In that case please take  a cue from Italian or French Vogue. Images if you have not yet seen them on the next page.via nymag. This whole thing is just dissapointing…

  1. Wow, it\’s crazy cause I too just saw this for this first time earlier today and I thought the exact same thing. I LOVE Amber Rose and all her goodness, but it is very disappointing when you see all that potential turn into an unfitting mess :/

  2. @ Ksnow exactly!

  3. Micah:

    Have you ever heard Amber Rose speak, sure at first she may seem somewhat elegant but once she opens her mouth, she is GHETTO. CAPITAL G.

  4. @ Micah, Love your participation and comment! However we are aiming to look at Amber on pure aesthetics, and the potential she has to convey another silhouette and “look” in fashion.
    The issue of how she may sound, is not relevant to our critique.Accents are a reflection of where people grew up, or came from, many models over the years have come from abroad, speaking either very little english or have had strong accents. That does not hinder them from making it unto the runway or getting ad campaigns.

  5. I too am a fan of Amber Rose. I think she\’s beauiful & very edgy. HOWEVER, this feature was very disappointing. I agree that she has so much potential. Her look is definitely different & striking. It\’s a shame that its not being executed well. I seiously think Kanye should stop artistically directing other people. He just messes it all up for them.(i.e Drake\’sBest I Ever Had video) I like Kanye, but he should focus on himself & his art. Amber just wound up looking trashy in this spread.

  6. Amber Rose is beautiful but she looks like a stripper 95% of the time

  7. [...] after Mr West styled this shoot I was ready for catsuits and freakum dresses. Alice Cavanagh who recently got a peek at Kanye [...]
