French Vogue Does The Hokey Cokey

This is one of those posts that comes out of nowhere. I was just thinking how amazing photo shoots in Vogue Paris are, the models are always in creative positions (I like models who move, not those that look like mannequins) which, for some reason, made me think of the Hokey Cokey.
The Hokey Cokey is actually known as the Hokey Pokey in most places of the world. But, in the UK it's Cokey, so sorry if you are used to Pokey and this upsets you.
Anyway, I have put together images from fabulous French Vogue shoots, and now Vogue does the Hokey Cokey.
It is a shame I can't read French - at school my French teacher only knew German, therefore I learnt little. I would love to actually read French Vogue. Until I learn the language I will just have to enjoy the pictures.
Feel free to join in with Daria and co, and do the Hokey Cokey...









I'm thinking of marketing this as a new Vogue workout. Think it would catch on?

all images from various editions of Vogue Paris via the fashion spot

Also, Elle.com has put together a list of celebrities with great personal style. I actually agree with most of their choices. Not quite sure that Miley Cyrus, Kate Middleton or Jessica Alba/Biel/Simpson deserve any fashion praise; however it is quite an interesting article. View it here.

  10. That's actually genius :)
    I agree, it's better when models actually do interesting movement-y poses rather than just standing still and lifeless.

  11. that's a wonderfully clever way
    of presenting fashion and models
    posing. i hadn't heard of hokey
    cokey, and no i'm not offended by
    its use (instead of pokey)at all
    now, put your left head in...
    put your left head out...
