It's a really beautiful summery issue. Very luxe and bright.

 

[LabelWhore4]

I really like this cover but her frightened expression spoils it.

 

[Over the Sea]

looks cheap

 

[[J.]Oliver]

how is Jessica's editorial? from the neck down she looks fantastic.. (they overly photoshopped her face it seems.)

 

[Rosa Cr]

It looks nice actually, I like the yellow font

 

[Bertrando3]

I like the fonts, and that's about it

 

[MON]

Love everything about this except the face. Her expression ruins the summery theme of the colors and the background and the sexiness of her body. Wish she fake-smiled like she always does

 

[Mirik]

the face looks asymmetric, as if one of the eyes is turned upside down

 

[Katya]

her face looks weird and for me it's again cover for summer

 

[saann]

^well it's summer in Australia so..

The cover looks a bit cheap, it might look better in person

I like the fonts, and that's about it

HA! my exact thoughts!!! crazy that someone else would think the same ....

 

[jal718]

Not big on this

 

[Bonbonenata]

I don't like the pose and.. ehh.. I don't want crystal blue water on winter cover.

 

[hysteria]

too much photoshop and I agree with you, it looks cheap and boring.

 

[Empress Merel]

This immediately reminded me of Tanya Dziahileva HP Spain July/August cover.
Well, looking at her Elle cover and this one, it sure makes her stand out from the summer beach babes, no?

 

[GlamorousBoy]

I like it

 

[tanii94]

No thanks. Alba is so overrated.

 

[birdyandme]

I don't like the pose and.. ehh.. I don't want crystal blue water on winter cover.

It's SUMMER in Australia.

I'm sorry but why do people forget their Geography?...oh well.
For Australia Harper's its okay, I wasn't expecting much but her face is defiantly a turn off plus I don't get how she appeals to women or I don't get her.
Looking forward to the original editorials, HB generally surprises me by the quality of their editorials(aside form reprints) when they use local models and photographers I always end up liking the eds because it isn't so forced. Unlike Vogue Aus they're always promoting and pushing us the next Australian 'HF international model'
