i've never really bothered with this Casiraghi girl but she's a fresh choice for a September cover and that's interesting enough for me. but what i find
more interesting are the reactions towards this issue; either the followers of this publication are just bogus or downright schizophrenic since i see the same people who've chanted for Carine's demise now bemoaning for her comeback

seems like people have been a little too used being shocked monthly with the former editor's repetitive provocations.
the edits are not so bad and i do like the inclusion of some new faces to this magazine like Zuzanna and Sigrid.. however, despite the varying model choices nothing manages to stand out, which makes the whole issue rather bleak; it's a warning sign when my fave editorial from the lot turns out to be the beauty edit. i am still befuddled with what Alt wants the magazine to portray as she's clearly eradicated Carine's image of the stiletto-ed, vampy, smokepuffing French woman.. i guess her version is a freewheelin', natureloving, androgynous female with a penchant for hippie styling?
