There are few opportunities when fashion’s biggest guns are photographed together. This editorial ‘Puffy Takes Paris’ for US Vogue came out in 2000 i.e. pre-blog/blogosphere, so is a rare find. I figured posting it was apt because (a) the Anna Wintour ‘Boss Woman’ documentary from 2000 produced by the BBC has been getting some digital buzz lately (you can and must watch it in full under the cut), (b) Diddy is in Godney’s new remix video for Scream & Shout as he features on the track, which is out on Friday, and finally (c) because we’re all really excited for the return of Galliano, right? Right.
So here is the editorial featuring Puff Daddy (now Diddy), Kate Moss, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Oscar de la Renta, Alek Wek and John Galliano photographed by Annie Leibovitz under the fashion direction of Grace Coddington.
