This magazine sure has an identity, but a very boring, basic one.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the group cover !!!! And the individual look awesome as well!!! GREAT job as usual when it comes to group shoots.

 

[guimon]

The solo covers are SO much better. They are all stunning!

The group shot... meh. It just doesnt work. Such a random group of models together.

Btw, didn't know Faretta was still a thing.

 

[magsaddict]

Yeah, I think the only actual newsstands cover is the group one. The rest are inside pages. So weird they keep doing that!!

I have this theory that it's the agencies who insist they release these solo 'covers' for the models to post on social media and say they have a Vogue cover. They did the same thing with Delilah Belle Hamlin and Sarah Snyder in February.

Anna did a great job with this one. She makes me like that awful Prada collection.
Amber is the real star here. She is a true supermodel.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

why is Joan always the go-to token black girl for Vogue Japan?

 

[Valentine27]

The group cover is nothing interesting despite a surprising yet good cast. Solo covers look nice. I feel like I've seen this a thousand times though.

 

[Ken Doll Jenner]

Can't Anna Dello Russo take a risk once in a while by publishing the individual covers as the newsstand ones, please? Luigi and Iango's work for Vogue Japan is actually rather underrated. Yes, they're all the same Avedon-inspired studio shoots, but I have a penchant for the glamour their image evokes. The clothes, as questionable as they are (looking at you, Prada), always end up looking a lot more desirable. But somehow, ADR always picks the most uninteresting picture for the main cover. Or maybe I just got tired of this magazine's layout.

 

[Phuel]

Anna's is the only cover that matters.

 

[Sensation]

I like Anna's solo shot.

 

[Urban Stylin]

The group shot is like Amber teaching the other girls how to pose. Her single shot and Faretta's are also nice.

 

[bluestar]

Anna's solo cover is sublime! Amber's is okay and the other two are whatever.

Are you quite serious? That's so sad if true. A group cover is still a cover.

I at first thought the cast was rather random, but now that I think about it, each girl comes from a different modelling wave.

 

[biagiolr]

The group cover is not interesting, I mean the shot is not bad but hasn't that eye-catching level. Solo covers are absolutely better: they look fresh, modern and captivating. I agree that they look like Vogue Italia cover style but this is not a problem!

It speaks wonders of Luigi and Iango photography that any given picture can be published in any random editorial and not look out of place...

 

[Phuel]

These sort of cold, aloof, just-pose-with-no-purpose shoots in B&W suit Joan so perfectly since she’s only ever capable of that one cold, aloof, just-pose-with-no-purpose look. Can anyone imagine a 500+ page book of Joan in the style of that Gisele book…???

Lol, I certainly can't. Joan works better in a cast because she can rely on the other girls. Her MG shoots are her best. I don't personally know how she's managed to get this far in her career.
