The June 2006 issue of US Vogue features Uma Thurman. The American actress is photographed by Mario Testino and styled by Tonne Goodman who selected Thurman to wear a Maison Martin Margiela silver mesh top with an Eres white bikini for the effortlessly summery cover. Uma’s pictures inside are just as flawless as the cover shot. It’s the type of direction that Testino excels at, each and every time.
Please excuse the unattractive sticker on my personal scan above (I’m unwilling sacrifice the condition after all these years — I knew you’d understand).
This 244-page issue consists of very seasonal stories whilst still providing the reader with a range of summer fashions. We see fashion stories from Patrick Demarchelier, Steven Meisel and Miles Aldrige. Models include Gisele Bundchen, Amber Valletta and Caroline Trentini — all the American Vogue regulars.
‘Water Baby’ by Patrick Demarchelier with Gisele is my favorite story from the whole issue. It’s just one of those fashion stories that works every single time, without fail. Shot in a studio and with Tonne Goodman to work her magic during the shoot, it’s no wonder it’s faultless image after image. A sun-kissed Bundchen wears a range of pieces from Michael Kors, Dolce & Gabbana, Bottega Veneta and Carolina Herrera, to name a few.
