I just saw it yesterday and I thought it FLAWLESS. Is similar from what they used to do with the "Lana's fantasy" but at same time is new, eye-catching and artsy. Something went wrong with first pic of the editorial - it looks fake - but rest is fabulous! Bravo!

OH MY GOD, no words just perfection

Holy f@ck, I just realized how much I miss seeing LaChapelle in print.

Loathe the cover layout so much.

But what a genuine pleasure to see David back-- and having evolved his signature rather than doing the same old same old (take note Tim Walker...)

Gorgeous, cheeky and eerie story looking like some lost and found footage from the 70s.

Thanks StockholmFW.

his work was a nightmare for me as a teenager, it always embodied the contaminated side of fashion that is sooo hard to dig through in order to get to the 'good part'.. even if it has naturally evolved, I still look at it and am looking at obstructing garbage, but we are already in a nostalgic road where all the stupidity and vulgarity of the late 90s and early 00s suddenly become neglected brilliance (Missy's grating sounds for example..) so a Lachapelle comeback just makes sense.

I was coincidentally watching his video with Sergei Polunin last night.. I'd be more interested if he explored more of that field, capturing classical movements in a way that is commercial and easily attractive to new audiences..

^^^ I couldn’t stand him either when I was 15 and his work was so prevalent in Details magazine LOL

I even remember watching a doc of him and just felt so annoyed by his celebration of a cluttered, trashy, plastic pink flamingo style. And whenever someone praised him as their fav fashion photographer, I knew we could never be friends...

But now when I see the tepid, one-note efforts from the likes of Tim, Collier and Harley etc whom are hailed and hyped as new visionaries…. David’s style is so much more appreciated just for his eclectic, varied and sometimes even expensive playfulness.

Maybe if the majority of high fashion hadn’t devolved into a lazy, corporate version of the emperor’s new clothes, David wouldn’t feel so welcoming to me right now. But in this era of high fashion famine-- David’s is looking like a feast to me.
