this is horrible MAN!

[Miss Dalloway]

I have to say i like it, always thought Sophie is stunning intelligent woman but they could have done way better for September than this.The content sounds cool though.

[OhJane]

Ooooh yes I thought Masha had an editorial in HB this month!

I HATE how they did Sophies hair...it ages her.

[Bahiyya]

It looks like they caught her in the middle of something. Like her chihuahua was getting too close to her Hermes bag and she's just about to tell him to heel.

hm i like the idea of this cover and the contents sound cool but something is off, maybe it's the colors idk but i don't love it

[iluvjeisa]

Punk meets Audrey Hepburn, well it was interesting to see it but... This mix of perfection and half-a**** chaos doesn't work all that well....and she's cross eyed too.

Like the cover.

I got my subscriber's issue this morning, and this is one cover that works better with lots of coverlines, because without them, the focus is all on her face, but somehow, there's nothing to focus on in her face. However, the super-glossy fold-out Vuitton ad on the other side makes up for it.

It feels like more thought has gone into this September issue than UK Vogue put into theirs; their overall design is sharper and more exciting every month anyhow. I have yet to properly sit down and go through it, but I'm exciting at the prospect of getting back to this issue, whereas I haven't touched UK Vogue's September for two days now.

Lily Cole plays a stroppy maid in the Rosamund Pike edit; she has a face like thunder, she's the best thing in it. I almost wish she was on the cover, and I'm by no means a fan of hers.

The font colors are kind of distracting.

the british issue

*snores*

[Style-Addict]

Kind of excited to see what will be in the British issue...I will have to wait a few more weeks, we are incredibly slow to get British mags in Texas.
Thanks for posting the cover!

[Nouvelle_Vague]

I'm excited. I love British issues of magazines.

AND I hear that the Kills have an article in it. YAY!

[helmut.newton]

The September issue and the best models they could get were Suzanne Diaz and Masha N??

Seriously?

I like the cover though. Very appealing.
