In Vogue: The Editor's Eye:
Here is a look at "In Vogue: The Editor's Eye":
Coinciding with its 120th anniversary, the story of Vogue magazine is told through behind-the-scenes interviews with some of the innovative and often-intrepid fashion editors who helped shape its evolution.
“The people who are responsible for the fashion images are the fashion editors,” says Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue. “They have always been our secret weapon, so it seemed to me that we could celebrate Vogue, and also, at the same time, celebrate these great editors.”
“The exquisite and detailed inspiration that goes into a fashion editor’s staging of a photograph was a surprise to us,” comments Sheila Nevins, president, HBO Documentary Films. “The images found in the pages of Vogue exist as true works of art and the editors themselves are gifted, yet often unassuming, artists.”
Drawing on Vogue’s exceptional archives, the film features behind-the-scenes interviews with editors who have contributed to the magazine’s legacy, including current editor-in-chief Anna Wintour; fashion editors such as Grace Coddington, Tonne Goodman, Polly Allen Mellen, Camilla Nickerson, Phyllis Posnick and Babs Simpson; celebrated Vogue subjects Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker; industry icons such as Hamish Bowles; and fashion designers Alber Elbaz, Nicolas Ghesquière, Marc Jacobs and Vera Wang (herself a former Vogue fashion editor), all of whom share their experiences collaborating with top photographers and image-makers of the day.

This photograph, I first saw on "In Vogue: The Editor's Eye". I was really interested when I saw this as it looks really quirky and I like that she has her eyes closed, so that the cream can be easily poured over her face. I also like the way that the cream is off her face and is in mid shot, I would like to try and get that kind of effect with my own model.
I like the way that the light is in this photograph, as the cream looks completely white and the neck looks really dark, so I think that this looks like a really good contrast. I also like that the theres some of her skin still showing in the lip and ear areas as this looks quite striking.
