Oh yes! This is fierce. Why do I keep using that word? I don’t know. Hate Tyra Banks, but the word is perfect to describe such a look. Love the jeans especially
xoxoxo stay fab, love always

I love her balmain blazer
Oh and those shoes !!
Gorgeous
May 26th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Fantastic! Perfect styling!
May 26th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
hmm… she doesn’t really seem as appealing as Franca, Carine or Anna…
May 26th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
a little to “trendy”, no?
the boyfriend-cuffed-jeans dont work for me. maybe if the rise was a little higher and the hem has lower and narrowed it’d be better. just a matter of proportion.
the shade of the denim isnt that great either
May 26th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
don’t like it. high low can be done well, but this is just stupid

looks like she is wearing the white leather balmain jacket….? this is my favorite among all the balmain jackets so far.
great styling!!

Wawwwwwwwwwww! I think it´s the first time a Spanish girl appears at Jak&Jill!!

There is just something about a $48,000 bag that makes EVERYONE LOOK FABULOUS!!!
May 26th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
I like the mix of high/low but i think the croc kelly isn’t the best, I think maybe something like a kelly messenger bag would have pushed the high/low even further, not making it seem as obvious.

Yolanda Sacristan looks absolutely amazing!
Its too bad she does not pay as much attention to the quality of the contents of the magazine she edits!
For a quality international magazine title, Vogue Spain is extremely lacking in originality and innovation!
As an avid Vogue reader, my personal view is that the Spanish ´arm´ of Vogue is so very disorganized and lacking in high quality content for such an esteemed title.
The Monthly only seems to panders to the bourgeois and so called ´pijas´(a stupid Spanish term if ever!!); with their multi cut and paste cat-walk pictures and extremely low quality fashion editorials!
Unlike other European Vogue titles and indeed international counter-parts such as US and Japanese respectively, I personally find Spanish Vogue none educative and at best a mediocre fashion picture book for the very rich!
The whole point of fashion in my view is to mix ´high street (main street)´with so-called ´ high fashion´.
I find it disconcerting and shameful in this age of financial strife, an international title in a country of 4 million (and counting) unemployed is still only trumpeting Balmain Jackets at Euro 5000, Spicy LV sandals at Euro 1700 et al.
Its no wonder the circulation of Spanish Vogue is plummeting in comparison to Spanish Elle which is lot more the thinking woman´s fashion magazine!
Vogue Spain should try to readdress itself in an all changing fashion landscape as the world economy shudders.
Vogue Spain should reclaim its rightful place in fashions ´educational´role so therefore encouraging individual women to develop there own sense of style and originality, of which lets face it the average Spanish woman has absolutely no idea what so ever.
Lets help Spanish women demonstrate true sartorial originality such as what we see on the pages of this blog and indeed how true style can all be accomplished on a ´shoe string´budget.
Lets champion original fashion shops from Madrid and beyond, profiling a different shop or two each month, showing how garments can be ´recycled´to look different each time.
As editor-in-chief of the best fashion bible franchise out there, Yolanda Sacristan owes every Spanish woman at the very least a responsibility to try and help shed there shoddy shoddy sartorial leanings!
ps.
I do hope my opinion (comment) is warranted!

I love that Balmain jacket soooo much! This whole outfit is genious.
http://bsasjournal.blogspot.com
May 26th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Lived in Spain 3 years between Madrid and Barcelona.
I have to say the Vogue Magazine Yolanda is editor in chief is the very worst Vogue I have ever seen in my life!
Its a complete and utter fraud and a complete disgrace to the whole Vogue family! The Spanish Vogue content is really unprofessional in my opinion as a Fashion designer!
Its is simply in my humble opinion a VULGAR ´ROBB REPORT´for the ultra-super rich of Spanish women. The super rich in Spain account for roughly 10% of a country in which the monthly net salary is staggeringly low by any standard. I imagine circulation is very low!
My advice to Yolanda is this: Get off your HIGH HORSE, ditch the SILVER SPOON, stop the rot within your magazine. Pick Up Italian, Paris,, Japan, US and British Vogues respectively and go back to the drawing board. Ditch the cut and paste of which you have become accustomed, stop the mediocre editorials and please strive to publish a magazine worthy of the your international contemporaries!
I do hope you read this!

Of course, she´s rocking the boyfriend jeans. I dig her heels.

I agree with Hogan about Spanish Vogue. Spaniards have excellent style but the magazine is not quite what one would like especially considering that it is the fashion magazine “of record” in the Spanish speaking world.
However, Yolanda looks great. I love the baggy jeans, the fab shoes and the beautiful bag of a lifetime.
May 26th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
she does this so well!

May 26th, 2009 at 8:26 pm
Yolanda does look amazing.I particularly love the striking jacket!
Its befitting and of no coincidence Ms. Yolanda has chosen to be photographed in Paris, France!
MARIE ANTOINETTE would be proud!
In French: ” Enfin je me rappelai le pis-aller d’une grande princesse à qui l’on disait que les paysans n’avaient pas de pain, et qui répondit : Qu’ils mangent de la brioche. J’achetai de la brioche”.
In English: “Finally I recalled the worst-recourse of a great princess to whom one said that the peasants had no bread, and who responded: “Let them eat brioche…”
Or as been widely quoted in English: ” LET THEM EAT CAKE “.
THE SPANISH VOGUE EDITORIAL TEAM HAVE SCANT REGARD FOR THE SHOPPING HABITS OF THE SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE INCOME SPANISH FEMALE SHOPPER, BUT INSTEAD THE MAGAZINE IS CONSUMED BY AN ILLOGICAL DESIRE TO PONTIFICATE AND DIRECT ITS READERSHIP TARGET ONLY AT A SMALL CORE PERCENTAGE ULTRA RICH WOMEN WHO LIVE ONLY TO SHOP
NONE OF MY FRIENDS READ THIS MAGAZINE. I ABSOLUTELY DEPLORE THIS ´SPANISH FACTION´OF A BEAUTIFUL MAGAZINE TITLE SO I REFUSE TO BUY IT. ITS BRITISH AND FRENCH SISTERS TOGETHER WITH ITALIAN VOGUE COST A BIT MORE HERE IN SPAIN, BUT THE LAYOUT, STYLING, EDITORIALS, ARTISTRY, PHOTOGRAPHY AND INDEED GENERAL CONTENTS AND SUBJECT MATTER MAKES FOR A FAR MORE INTERESTING READ.
SO I DO NO MIND THE EXTRA COSTS BECAUSE ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
I REFUSE TO BUY A MAGAZINE FOR MERE CUT AND PASTE AND BLAND CHARACTERLESS EDITORIALS!
FASHION IS ART. VOGUE ESPANA IS NEITHER FASHION NOR ART!
May 26th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I have to say. Having read the comments above, I have to agree!
Though I DO love Yolanda´s style, I don´t think its a look befitting the editor of such a high-brow magazine title such as Vogue.
Where is the sofistication of Carine Roitfeld? The Panarche of Ann Wintore? The Sex mysteriousness of Carla Sozzani (Italian Vogue) or even British Vogues Alexandra Shulman intellectual elañ in this ensemble?
Its a clean and nice enough to look at, with all the obligatory Hermes Kelly bag et al but I still find it all rather too…………Junior style writer assistant/contributing editor than an image befitting an Editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine!
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO GRAVITAS, NO STATE OF PLAY, NO FABULOUS in this look what so eve.
Its far too ´UNASSUMING´to carry any substantive weight!
As for Vogue España, the title is way far and beyond too too elitist!

Sadly, I have to agree with many of the comments above. Mrs. Sacristan looks great in that picture…but the magazine she edits is not great at all. The fact is that, if you take off the advertising pages, the editorials that Vogue Spain buys to other Vogues and the “cut-and-paste” pages what remains is just a few pages of not very original editorials and some other nonsense “stuff”. Yes, “stuff”…remember that famous scene from “Devil wears Prada”, where Meryl Streep’s character critizices Anee Hathaway’s because of her lack of interest and the use of the word “stuff” to define fashion, a work of art that influences millions of people? Well, Yolanda just does…”stuff”, she makes fashion look just like “stuff” in her magazine. I don’t buy Vogue Spain anymore, makes me feel sick. It doesn’t have the class and history of American Vogue, the chic sexiness and savoir faire of the French edition, the originality of Italian Vogue…Vogue Portugal, which is edited in a way smaller country than is Spain, is far more original and you can actually see the hard work of their editors there. I once took a Spanish Vogue magazine and a marker and some post its to mark all the mistakes an “no-nos” I found in Vogue Spain. I had to stop, there were too many…even spelling mistakes! Spain is the country of Zara, Mango, and other affordable brands…why not try and mix a bit, why not do a bit of “high and low”, instead of that bourgeois wannabe attitude that you can see all over the mag, something that I find pretty inmoral, considering the fact that he are having the worst economy recession in decades, and that Spain is just struggling and has more than 4 million unemployed people (that’s more than 10% of the population). Shame on you, Mrs. Sacristan, you look fab, but your magazine looks old, pretentions and so lame…do some work, darling, because it’s not worth the 3.50 euros it costs.

So classic and classy!

Unfortunately for the readers of spanish VOGUE edition I do subscribe to every single word HOGAN said yesterday, and I can tell everybody, his opinion it is absolutlely warranted. You can not make a sharpest diagnosis.
I buy many fashion magazines every month and the spanish Vogue it is the only one that sometimes really gets on my nerves, because it is not focus on real fashion or real women whatsovever, but on an creepy olf fashion dream over long time ago.
In the meantime, I take shelter in french Vogue.

Hi everyone!
I´m spanish. Every month, I buy and read Spanish Vogue, USA Vogue, Paris Vogue and UK Vogue.
In Spain, the magazine best selling is Vogue, not Elle . It doesn´t target a posh audience. For posh audience, in Spain exist a magazine calls “Telva”.
It´s true that editorials are very bad and has many reprints, but it has got an incredible stories and interviews about fashion, art and politics. ( How many times other Vogue edition have a five pages interview with a designer?) Better than Paris Vogue or UK Vogue.
Normally this stories don´t scan, and you can´t read on the web. SO IF YOU DON´T READ THE WHOLE MAGAZINE YOU CAN´T JUDGE WITH SOLID ARGUMENTS!
I don´t like Yolanda Sacristan, I hate Barbara Martelo, she is Emmanuelt Alt’s bad copy, but I think Spanish Vogue is a good magazine
May 27th, 2009 at 5:28 am
ahh!!!
And Vogue is alway elitist. Vogue is about fashion, luxury and dreams. ALL VOGUE EDITIONS ARE ELITIST (open you eyes)!!!!!!!1
For “real fashion” (“Buy it in Primark” “How to get it H&M”) you can read Marie Claire, Cosmo…
May 27th, 2009 at 6:38 am
I love her outfit, and her Kelly is to die for!
That´s not the first time that a Spanish girl appears here, also Belen Antlolin(fashion editor of Spanish Vogue)and Yolanda were posted, and Barbara Martelo many times.
In my opinion Vogue España is the best magazine that we have here.If you see June´s issue, you can see amazing shoots, specially one in LA, and they aren´t cut-and-paste.
Its´s a high fashion magazine so they can´t show Zara.
I think Spanish “pijas”, how many of you have refered buy Telva but not Vogue, and isn´t French Vogue elitist?
May 27th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Para las seguidoras de Jak&Jill de habla hispana y especialmente para las españolas: He abierto un foro dónde me gustaría que se tratase esta cuestión de Vogue España.
http://fashionconacento.blogspot.com/
Os invito a participar y a dejar vuestro comentario! Me encataría q el debate siguiese abierto, me parece muy interesante y sano.
Gracias!

I wish I could embrace the rolled up pants, I love how it shows of the killer heels, but I guess I’m just not ready to do it myself yet… maybe I don’t have the right pants… any ideas?
May 27th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Nice styling!
May 27th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
WOW, everyones hating on Yolanda! But, for good reason. She doesn’t even look like an editor, let alone editor-in-chief! Study Carine honey. I like her Hermes though :p

I really need to get on the buying jeans like this thing.
May 27th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
If I may respond to ´GIVENCHY LOVER´above:
Your comment is not cleverly thought out.
Either you live on ´Cloud Cuckoo land´or perhaps your knowledge of fashion is so very limited and does not extend beyond the boundaries of Spain? (I suggest its the latter me think!); So much so you fail to see what this open debate is all about.
No one is suggesting Vogue España is not the best magazine in Spain (though I personally beg to differ!). What we are trying to assess is when compared to the rest of the Vogue family, Vogue España comes bottom bottom of the barrel with absolutely no editorial nor artistic content worthy of a title so esteemed.
Sad. you seem to fall into the commonly held old fashioned notion which assumes taking models to exotic locations for “amazing shoots in LA” is the epitome of what CONSTITUTES a great fashion magazine?
I imagine (correct me if wrong!) your the type of woman who buys Vogue or any fashion magazine for that matter, simply to flip pages looking for models shot in exotic locations.
Where is it written in stone a ´high´fashion magazine can not show Zara, as you have quite clearly stated? So the likes of British, American, Italian and Paris Vogue, respectively which always feature ´high street´(main stream) brands like GAP, H & M, WHISTLES, ZARA etc into what category of magazine? ´low´fashion?
That statement alone illustrates an innate naivety of the first order! Clearly someone who is not familiar with what the ´term´fashion is all about.
Your comment clearly shows all that is wrong and septic with Vogue España and its editor in chief.In fact its ´septicaemia´; putrid manner of thinking in this day and age.
In your naivety ´high´fashion has more to do with price (EXPENSIVE) and glamourous locations than with creativity, artistry, imagination, innovation, theatre and well balanced editorials.
Hello! What planet do you live on Ms ´Givenchy Lover´? Clearly your moniker (name) shows that birds of a particular feather do indeed flock together. Its no wonder the so called Spanish (Madrid) ´rich (PIJA´S´) all seem to dress and look alike with absolutely no risk: BIMBA Y LOLA dresses and or handbags or if the budget stretches somewhat, LUIS VUITON´S “NEVER FULL” and shoes from UTERQUE, all in a vain effort to look Rich.
There is a lot more to a fashion magazine than shots in LA.
Next month, please do yourself a service and simultaneously purchase the following Vogue titles: Italian, French, British, US & Japanese. Its quite a budget stretch but truly worth every penny.
Compare page by page with Spanish Vogue.
After which please come back and share your new found candid opinion!
Thank you.

nothing screams recession quite like a Kelly.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:17 am
I’ve got something to say as a fashion lover and a spanish woman. WE do deserve a better Vogue magazine. I agree Yolanda has a cool style, quiet different if you compare her to Anne or Carine but that is not enough to fill a magazine. I reclaim risky-extremely-fashion editorials!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:51 am
Very classy get-up. I love the overall sophistication of this look.

To Hogan:
My comment wasn´t for you, so please don´t offend.
You don´t know anything of my life, my work or my style, so please don´t judge people just for a comment.
Of course I agree with you, and Spanish Vogue can´t be compared with other versions.
I think Spanish Vogue have to try find their own style, and not try to copy USA Vogue when just shows total looks, or Paris Vogue because we have just one Carine, and Emmanuelle´s shots are unique.
If you see the June issue, you can see own shots, and interesting interviews, and they aren´t cut and paste.
Of course I value more than just a shot in an exotic location, really are you joking me?I meant only as an example the shot in LA, as their quality is comparable to another edition of Vogue.But as wrote “Wednesday” if you don´t read the whole magazine you can´t judge it with solid arguments.
Maybe you prefer Elle because is more about mix different types of clothing.
I also don´t like Spanish “pijas” style, Uterque, or bags like Neverfull, but that´s not the matter, this is about Yolanda and she looks great.
And for your information I´m suscribed to Paris, Italy and UK Vogue.
So Hogan please, don´t judge people just for a comment, because you don´t know anything about me, and everyone can says what they thing(unless Tommy not believe it appropriate)
I hope this conversation it´s over here, because that´s not a forum.
Thank you.

Oh wow. Intense comments.
And her shoes, her jeans, her blazer. Lovely, just lovely.

I’m Spanish and I buy all the months Spanish Vogue. It’s true that the level of the magazine is not like Vogue paris o Vogue USA (which I also buy and read), but let’s face the fact that the fashion culture in Spain is not like in France or Usa, at least, for most of the people (lot of poshs and wannabes)
Sometimes there are interesting interviews to designers and to artists, not common in the rest of spanish magazines.
so I would critize the spanish vogue but i would not make evil of it
May 31st, 2009 at 3:38 am
This is the first time I’ve seen the boyfriend jean looking seriously elegant.
