Soldiers, Saturdays and a heap of Couture

I could lower myself to writing open letters to Alexandra Shulman, asking why they have tried to blind me with such a bling-bling cover featuring Victoria Beckham on their new April issue (it's not the person I object to but the unnecessary tackiness added to the cover.... though inside images are slightly more redeeming...).... but instead, I'll just focus on the constant joy that is Tim Walker.  A solid collaborator with UK Vogue, he has done it again with this 'Soldier, Soldier, won't you marry me?' editorial (styled by Kate Phelan) featuring January's couture creations modelled by Karen Elson looking sinister whilst clouded in tulle and surrounded by oversized toys and a toy soldier that is actually a real life male model.  No, complaining would be futile.  So, I'll let the good wash over the bad because the good is very very good indeed...
