yikes at her being reduced to like, a disembodied mannequin. i don't know who these two are ,but you can literally only see 'parts' of her - save for the close up of her face. It's uncomfortable to look at, she's like less than an accessory

Gorgeous cover and editorial

I agree. That was my feeling too when I saw this. Very sad for a woman's magazine to do this.

exactly. i mean i'd side eye something like this in a man's magazine as well, and im sure the likes of GQ and details probably did it many times before, but coming from a womens mag is just sad.

100% agree that she looks like an accessory. So sad.

A little cheesy, but I like the concept of the cover

What I like about Elle Espana is that they embrace the boho spirit that was once Elle's signature. You can tell you are looking at an issue of Elle when browsing their content. I wish more of their editions would have a stronger sense of identity like this.

Omg, I want this issue purely for the cover and its accompanying editorial!! Stunning. The guy's shots are better when his not giving us that forced smirk. So awkward. I dont get the hate though. This to me looks like an accessories issue. Raymond Meier always does the same for American Vogue, without a man, so what's the difference? Also when Vogue only left Mr Big's legs on the cover with SJP, didn't hear people complain then.

Nice to see Vanessa Lorenzo again, boy she's aged though. Like that it added a bit of character to her beauty.

Léa's ed is a reprint from The Edit, I'm sure.

 

[tigerrouge]

It's because there are too many "headless" shots, I think - as if the only piece of her that doesn't count is the part that contains her mind.

lol are we really comparing the objectification and disembodiment of the female body to the male one? in the specific case of an all female film's star and her love interest?
and there's a huge difference between an accessories ed where you only see an hand / leg and this instance where the female body only becomes an actual accessory to a man, and like someone else said it's her head that's missing, to make her as anonymous as possible, it's just a random female body

Fair enough, so it's merely the presence of a man in this story that unsettles you? Otherwise, if he wasn't here this would've been passable? I dont quite get it, but anyway. I mean, this is a women's magazine after all. Personally I found the focus to be on the guy's good looks, and women's accessories.
