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 [1] 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 [2] (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...
