It's no secret that Diddy has a love affair with the fashion industry, and many critics have said the whole album is fashion-inspired (oh, and let's not forget that Vogue was behind this album from the very beginning, running a fashion editorial of Diddy with model Natalia Vodianova in the February 2010 issue).
So to push that sentiment even further, Diddy has mustered up enough energy and strength to get VOGUE greats Anna Wintour and Andre Leon Talley to lend their voices to his Last Train To Paris CD. On Track 2, Lady Wintour says, "This is Anna Wintour from Vogue magazine. You are now listening to the Last Train to Paris."
MAYJAH!!!
Of Paris, ALT says:
Inspired by his addiction to style and the fashion worlds from New York to Paris, Diddy’s new album, Last Train to Paris (to be released December 14), is a brilliant fusion of stream of consciousness and beats that bring to mind the broken cadences of avant-garde jazz. During Fashion Week last year, he sent out the call via e-mail and voice mail to high-fashion friends to come to his studio to participate in the record. I was somewhere doing what I usually do—previewing a collection or sitting around on the fourth floor of Manolo Blahnik’s midtown shoe emporium—when I received the invitation. Rushing to his studio, I thought about what I would say on the album, which inspired his February 2010 Vogue fashion shoot with Natalia Vodianova, photographed by Annie Leibovitz and styled by Grace Coddington, in which he appeared with the swagger and elegance of Cary Grant in a gorgeous shawl-collared camel double-breasted coat by Tom Ford.Not mad at all, Diddy!
