To the cover: a big YES for Sasha + the styling (yes, we've had it quite often in the last time but I still love it, especially on that model )
To the contents: an even bigger YES to Suvi & Arlenis in this issue Arelnis' ed is absolutely stunning (dying to see the rest of Suvis')

Thanks a lot for all the scans - very appreciated!

Thank you so much Diciassette for all the scans, I really like Skye's and Arlenis stories so far and even I'm not her biggest supporter ever, I think Suvi's editorial looks brilliant. At least from what I can see on the preview picture.

Irina's editorial really is dreamy

[vogue28]

I'm not feeling Irina's editorial

[mackos]

Thanks so much for scanning, Diciassette (17)! I'm so happy to see Skye in VI, plus love Irina's ed - Miles never disappoints!

[Demelza]

OK... Sasha's ed is the best (and the cover). But i don't really like this issue, arlenis, skye and irina fail to impress me

[gossiping]

irina looks ok...not my favourite in this issue though

[Aja Mok]

WOW..thank you Diciassette for the scans!!!

I think Irina's editorial would have been great if she wasn't there.

Thank you very much for all your scans

Don't like Irina in Dreamy, she cant really do the whimsical blank face look, a bit more like
constipation blank too me for some shots, sorry

The ed definitely has the dreamy feel to it, but Irina kinda ruins it I thought

[sqekcx]

I love Irina's ed! It looks fabulous and very dreamy indeed.

Only if Irina can put some expression on her face...

[lanvinray]

I love Arlenis' ed and I'm happy that Skye finally made it in Italian Vogue

My thoughts, exactly. I don't have anything against Irina and I liked many of her editorials but these were mostly black and white pictures with dark moods. She's not the kind of model I like to see in a story by Miles Aldrige and, if the last picture is absolutely stunning as a thumbnail, her expression doesn't really suit the atmosphere. I won't go as far as Surrealseven but I agree with the fact it looks neither whimsical nor dreamy to me. Too bad when a good model and a good photographer aren't good together... but it shows again how the perfect match is all about the way they work together and nothing else (Meisel/Coco Rocha, Testino/Catherine McNeil, Tim Walker/Lily Cole... they all worked really well together and not that well in other cases, even if it's also a matter of personal taste )
