Mine arrived this morning and the cover is stunning in person, honestly, one of British Vogue's best celebrity covers I have seen. The colours and everything just work. Yeah, the fonts leave a lot to be desired, but what can we do.
Joan's edit is the most attractive one to come outta' the issue. Although the harsh lighting has made Joan's skin colour seem lighter. Nonetheless, the pictures are stunning and I love the minimalist outcome.
The one complaint I do have, is Vogue's obsession with everything London. Issue after issue is just filled with these upcoming socialites, musicians or whatever. It has went past supporting upcoming artists, showcasing them, to just plain tiresome and repetitive content.
Thanks for the review honeycombchild! It looks like an amazing issue, and I love that it's pretty much ALL Francesca Burns - I've missed her in the past few issues, so having an issue where the majority of editorials is hers is fantastic!
Joan and Cara's eds look good , and now I'm excited for this issue!

Major HG and Jennifer fan so Im a little biased but I love the cover, I think she looks so pretty. And Daphne always brings it in her edits, excited to see the rest.

That was my exact thought on reading the contents, but when they do lower themselves to cover anything outside of London, it tends to be such uninformed nonsense, that it's got to the point where I'd rather they stick to what they know, because it's the 'least worst' option.

I hate those London editorials. No doubt filled with so-and-so's daughter or what not. It all just reeks of effort. Get over it and show us more of the actual talent like Jennifer, more often.
