tFS isn't the only place where this is being discussed. I feel like the internet reaction overall has been very quick.

The black border around the covers is distracting.

Oh wow, this is already about 100 times better than I had ever imagined. Though, I'm completely shocked by the outrage over Sessilee getting a cover. Aside from Mimi Roche's couture supplement, Sessilee is one of the only newer black models to be lensed by Meisel for VI in awhile (that issue in 2006 with Lily Donaldson on the cover). Not to mention she was in the main editorial and not the supplement. But I digress because our focus should not be to quarrel amongst ourselves about who deserved a cover, and who should or shouldn't be in the issue. We should be excited and hopeful more than anything else.

Anyhow, this all looks great. I love the off-kilter focus of the covers and yet how dynamically different all of the editorials appear to be. Oh, and I'm definitely reading Kiara Kabukuru on the cover, but I could be wrong.

^ YOU BETTER NOT BE WRONG

This is a fold out right?.

Which means that Liya's cover is the main one since it has all the printed names on it


The ed inside looks lame.

Tyra looks really good!.

Those tiny names on the cover are such a tease!

It was posted in the Cover Rumour thread that Toccara shot this issue...but that doesn't mean her pics will be used

edit: sorry cambry if I misread your words....I thought you were talking about Liya's editorial pic.

I posted a few pages back that Toccara's name, Toccara Jones, seems visible above Tyra's name on the cover. Maybe she is in the issue?

I completely agree, im so happy that Sessilee got the cover no matter how susbstantial or amount of work she has done. I'm really liking the pic of her editorial, I just really want to see Mimi Roche in the mag because i think she deserves it

That's great! Supermodel book ends and now I can get Jourdan's cover for sure.

[shutterbug]

Sesilee's cover looks freaking amazing! Those eyes! Wow!

[Batgeline]

Let Kinee Diouf be there please...

[hillben_ho]

I am not sure this's a stunning cover.The black frames seem a bit stiff to me.
Anyway,looking forward to see the editorials.

I think Dunn's cover is the worse...and Sessilee (by the grace of God) career will take off after this there is NO denying that girl at all!

though I still think the cover could/should have been a group shot

For some reason I was under the impression it would be,must've read it somewhere...but ah,well!

[kahlilg]

naomi is my girl and everything but she's looking like a chipmunk here lol.

[OMIFAN9]

^I can't see it,jokes. But she does look different...like she's biting her bottom lip a bit. But still lovely. I bet the actual cover will be even better.
