Finally at least you can see that the models are working, as in, doing their job.
 
What an expressionless set of edits. Rianne is emoting, but the final results are so off. The classic styling side of it reminds me of his Jil Sander work, but Willy just doesn't have it to really pull this off anymore. The compositions and cropping are so strange and far from intentional looking. More lazy than anything else.

Ali Dansky is giving absolutely nothing. Looks so out of touch with how to move their body in front of the camera properly. Nothing is clicking. "Taking Shape" is pretty boring, and the other two are like the exact same edit but one is dark and the other is light(er) both in lighting and in garment styling/weight. Appreciate that they're long edits, but their not compelling enough to really make full use of it.
 
My standards are so low for print now that I just can’t bring myself to hate things that people put even 5% of effort into.
