Love the cover, very commanding. It's very sort of manicured but it works.
Not a fan of the closeups because that shade of blonde looks different, with a yellow-ish Rapunzel tinge to it.

These images are OK, despite Oliver's limited abilities. I find it very difficult to stomach Alex anymore since being exposed to her social media "persona" however; I'm sorry but she comes across as vulgar and don't get me started on the blacaccent and use of ebonics. There are more sincere ways to show that you love black culture as a white person...I know that people are clamouring for a model to stand out especially in an era in which companies and publications still seem to find it hard to shake off Gigi, Kendall, Hailey etc. but there's a wrong way of doing that.

I also think she's quite limited as a model, but perhaps there's still time for those to grow (a few of the images from the Coperni ad looks good).

Anyway, the only time I remember this magazine doing anything interesting was Roversi's Dries tribute about two years ago and just before the retirement announcement.

She looks high as a kite and not in a glamorous way.
