From the very beginning it was ok, I mean her two last year and especially 2000, this mag was such a pile of trash. Contributors at vogue paris back in latest Joan days were Enrique badulescu, Eric traore, Ruven afanador (common for vogue Germany), Michael Thompson (who was good only at w magazine with decent stylist), Simon Emmett, sorry but with all my respect, this is not an A-list contributors, not even a B. Quite rare (and in 2000, close to Joan retirement), Mario testino with carine did mostly covers without editorial inside, sometimes there was Jean baptiste mondino- this is speaking about good works poped up in magazine. this downward spiral became very obvious in 2000, it took one year, and conde fired Joan.
