Very beautiful ed and interesting article accompanies it. Jennifer is a very beatiful all american actress and my only complain is those hair split ends of hers, :s. Definitely a strong month
Jennifer looks so good in Alasdair's photos, his aesthetic really fits her.
She's Electic would be perfect with almost any other model. I don't get Cara and her use here ruins this editorial for me. She seems more fit to "young London" editorials.
To me, Cara looks like she should be cast as a street urchin in a Dickens adaptation, rather than as a fashion model. I like the way her her face has character, but for some reason, I don't like seeing her in editorials.

Apart from the Jennifer Lawrence feature, I have found this a fairly mediocre issue of Vogue UK in all aspects.
The editorials are quite uninspired and Cara's could have been decent, but for a model who clearly is full of personality (backstage etc) she shows none of this is in her editorial work.
Also this 'London' thing needs to stop......there actually are other cities in Great Britain.

I have to disagree here! I feel like this is a really strong issue content wise - the features on Valentino and Oscar de la Renta are really great pieces, and I feel that the editorials are much stronger compared to some of the other UK publications. Cara's editorial is actually very, very good when you read the feature on car-boot sales, which is such a good departure for Vogue.
In terms of the 'London' thing, I may be biased since I live here, but I can understand their obsession. London is the most talked about city in the world at the moment thanks to the Jubilee and the Olympics, even now after they're both finished. Plus, you have to take in to consideration British Vogue's main readers and worldwide readers - a girl from, say, Manchester (as an example) mightn't be overly interested in reading a feature about a place she's lived all her life, and an American reader mightn't even know where Manchester is on a map! It's a hub for them to focus their work.
I feel this is one of the strongest issues Alexandra and the team have put out this year. It's very fashion-centric, and the features are all very relevant to what's going on. Kudos to Shulman and the team, I may have to buy a second copy to rip pages out to put on my wall

Imagine Glen Luchford regular Malgosia Bela as the model in "She's Electic;" I'm still disappointed at the potential of that editorial. Cara looks too 'twelve-year-old making model faces with friends' for this kind of ed.

Such a lackluster issue. Cara doesn't fit in with the setting and really I don't think she photographs well, The lighting and editing has made Joan look white, why? London editorial's are boring after the first one happened.
Jennifer Lawrence and Daphne's presence are the only saving graces for this issue.
