Elle Russia November 2019 : Caroline Vreeland by David Bellemere

For those who don't know, Diana Vreeland's great-granddaughter and Jordan Barrett's girlfriend.

I was about to write that this is too p*rn even for being something postironic but seems like whole issue is going to have anti-censorship theme and also seems like issue's package will have text of Russia's anti-censorship constitutional article.
I still wish about another cover subject. I'm seeing this girl for the first time and I doubt that she is well-known in Russia. According to some previous coverstars looks like Elle Russia has cut their budget

As her great grand mother used to say: “The eye has to travel”... Away from this cover.

If you're going to stand naked in the street, it's best to get Meisel to shoot you doing so.

....and not a man accused of sexual misconduct!

....and not a man accused of sexual allegations!

Indeed. But the Russians don’t seem to care. I believe he’s been working quite consistently for Elle Russia after the allegations came out.

OK bit unfiltered, but she grosses me out. In her mind she's a "singer" pushing boundaries of body acceptance lol.. in reality she's your typical attention-starved LA influencer with the brand of a millennial Pamela Anderson but worst.. because at least Pamela was okay being just a random Anderson with gigantic boobs, this one squeezes the hell out of a not-that-relevant last name, really believes people want to hear her sing, is often in gross pictures of greasy pasta dripping on her chin and the occasional sextape-ish picture with whoever looks like a walking std glossary in LA and of course, in permanent 'let's network and create content!' mode.. reason why it doesn't matter that it's Bellemere, doing raunchy (and not just nude) pictures shot by the local array of well-connected nobodies, creeps, climbers and losers is basically how she's made it to this cover ..

Exactly. Madonna already did it with Meisel and it was over 25 years ago.
That makes Caroline look even more foolish.

Forget her, who is that fine gentleman

Forget her, who is that fine gentleman

If it wasn't a rhetorical question, Tyler Woods. A model.

 

[russianelf]

Never though I'd see Azealia Banks in Russian Elle. Remember when she was embellishing a Russian slur on a jacket lol?

 

[SLFC]

I guess it fits what it was going for with the anti-censorship theme, but can't help but think that David has gotten a little weak with his work.

If you're doing sex in fashion, it can't look cheap. The lighting has to be right, the makeup has to be right, the hair has to be right, the pose has to be right, the angle has to be right. Everything has to be right, miss one thing and you end up with cheap p*rn - which is exactly what they've got here. Some shots had potential, but for such a highly sexual editorial I would've liked more dramatic lighting because this just looks like Pornhub stills.
