Both Nick Knight (Katie Shillingford) and David Sims (Katy England) have good stories inside. Nick Knight's one is very mid 80s, Montana/Marc Jacobs F/W 18 vibes in a studio, with Luna, Fatou, Lily Nova and other girls I can't remember. Sims' one is a Yohji tribute (yes, again) with Luna (ditto), Mame, Veronika Kunz and more I couldn't recognise. Weirdly enough both of these stories appear before the main features...
Then you have Colin Dodgson/Jane How, but the story is a Jamie Hawkesworth rip-off (oh, where is he BTW?). Their collab in The Gentlewoman is much better and also Jack Davison shooting random people on the street, but it's nowhere the level of his two stories for UK Vogue with Lucinda Chambers, ironically.
Cover stories are as lame as the covers above suggest, apart from Dakota with Craig McDean. His usual psychadelic, intense glamour vibe that always works a treat.
