I sort of like it, suppose the cover will look better in print. Its definitely haunting and intriguing. I certainly didn't expect Stella to be on the cover but that's what I like about Vogue Italia, sometimes never knowing who might show up next. Her waist is kind of concerning me though, perhaps post production is to blame?
This is UGLY!
Everything abou it just turns me off of the prospect of purchasing this issue just based on the cover alone. I hope the content is better.
Beyond elegance. It was a style choice, but especially one of love (her husband liked her that way) that inspired Ethel Granger (1905-1982) to tighten herself into corsets that modified her waist up to the point of reaching a record measure of thirty-three centimeters, a limit that has not been surpassed to this day.
A revolutionary woman, who, also to indulge her husband’s tastes, did not hesitate to have dozens of piercings done back in the Fifties. She is the inspiration behind this cover and the fashion shoot interpreted by an intense Stella Tennant. Who, to emphasize Ethel’s decisive and distinctive allure, wears an exclusive perfume, beyond any olfactory stereotype, like Infusion d’Iris by Prada.
In the bouquet, the precious elegance of the Florentine iris pallida combined with the freshness of the Sicilian mandarin and with a mix of galbanum, mastic, incense, vetiver and cedar wood. Gabardine nattée single-breasted coat with contrasting collar, Prada. Earrings and ear studs, Lynn Ban; pearl studs, Fenton; nose ring, Ugo Cacciatori; corset Deborah Milner. Hair Guido for Redken. Make-up Pat McGrath. Manicure Jin Soon Choi for Jin Soon Natural Hand & Foot Spa. Fashion editor Karl Templer.
Vogue Italia's september issue will ne in newsstand on monday August 29th (Milan only) and worldwide in the following days
it's been a while since Steven step outside! I personally think it's beautiful but
it seems like a conventional VI couture supplement than a september issue cover that could rival many other beautiful covers we have seen for the last few weeks.
