I think the issue is ok. Some eds are really nice like Sasha's or Arziona's.
But overall VP is too predictable and repetitive at the moment. Every isssue looks basically the same, has the same theme, color palette/saturation/PP-look.
They should bring more variation to the aesthetic of the magazine. And less Rock-chic please.
Another issue that resembles a lovely catalogue... if I thought Alt needed to reach the point where she feels the magazine is 'hers' before she moves on to explore other aesthetics, I'd be willing to wait for that evolution - but if that's not going to happen, and I'm going to get a magazine that remains 'in her image', then I wouldn't say it's awful, but I can't see myself buying too many issues of it.

I don't like this cover, either. I loathe that VP think it's sooooooo """"punk rock/rock n' roll/rock chic/metal chic/etc"""". And as much as I love Kate I really need to see a new model on the cover.
*cough cough* Joan Smalls
Or Julia Nobis omg that would be a dream come true omg
