Vogue Australia July 2011 : Gisele Bündchen by Patrick Demarchelier

[MON]

I was expecting something better from Vogue Australia

I ask all magazines publications to stop reprinting Gisele! Its getting annoying because half of all Gisele's covers are reprints & there boring.

[michelabella]

It was the same with Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford. Always reprinted.

[mackos]

Like it a lot. A really good use of reprint.

The average buyers don't realize they are reprints, it's just a thing for people who are obsessed with mags like us ! Ah ah ah ! I also think, that's why we tend to get bored very easily.

Haha good point!

Just to add fuel to the fire, this shot of Gisele was reprinted by Vogue Portugal too. Although Vogue Australia has done more justice, with the complimenting font colours.

I say this pretty much every time VA reprints - but the thing is that we just don't have the access to International models the way that the US and European countries do. It's just a fact.
To fly someone out like Anja Rubik, which they did, would cost them a huge amount.
I think they do an amazing job of creating original covers featuring predominately local talent, but even then we still get to see bigger names like Erin Wasson last month.
If they want to go for one of the major International girls then yeah, more commonly than not they have to reprint. It's just the way it is. I don't think they should be shot down for it?
As AutomneRoi20 said - the average reader probably wouldn't even be aware of what was a reprint or original cover/editorial anyway, unless they follow International editions closely.

Those were my exact thoughts! 10 months of no reprinted covers and 8 months with no reprinted eds. Why Kirstie, why?

I would like the cover, but that blouse bugs me.

I agree except for a nitpicky point, they could have had the shoot done in New York or another hub, for example, not all of what you see in Vogue Italia is shot in Italy. Nevertheless, if I was an editor and had the choice of shooting fresh material locally, shooting fresh material elsewhere or reprinting existing content, I don't know why choosing to reprint an ed and/or cover is a questionable option. Now if a magazine is 90% reprint, 90% of the time, that is not a good thing, but I think it is smart for an editor to present very good / great / amazing reprints versus presenting original material that is good / mediocre / bad. As others have stated, I doubt if more than a few hundred people know and even care that the content originated elsewhere.
