Swine flu?

Not really getting the editorial yet but I'm not a fan of the colours. I love the model choice though!

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well ! But I have no idea what gaudy, tacky Eighties Dynasty styling has to do with a pandemic! Or maybe this edit is just a call for minimalism? The ridiculous over-the-top clothes Rianne wears certainly contrast the austere but elegant black and white the quarantiners are dressed in.

I have a good feeling about the overall issue for some reason...

so true. all the clinical/villain atmosphere screams 'Klein'. but that over-the-top styling and some sort of grand couture feel to the model's gestures make them pretty much Meisel. Klein wouldn't bring so much frilly drama into his imagery, to my opinion.
this make me wonder. if Klein handled Safe's reference would he come up with the result more impressive than that of Meisel's spread?

why does everyone dislike the cover? i love it. im confused. haha

So tired of Rianne. Why did she come back?.. Wish there was someone else instead of her. The last Vogue Italia cover I liked was the Anna J, Anna S and Viktoriya S one (January I guess).

i like it too. except it looks a little hazy.

maybe people just cant get over the fact that it's Rianne again. I think she's gorgeous in her own right. And very interesting and powerful looking unlike many other models who just sit their with a bland bored look on their face with their mouth open and pass off as "fierce".

I get a Steven Klein vibe as well.

[parkereloise]

I have the same thing. The cover is so striking. Love it.

[Royal-Galliano]

great cover! but why rianne again? she feels so random

[user.n.]

The cover is wonderful.
I surprised she looks very similar to Iris S. on the b&w shots...
