Harper's Bazaar UK February 2008 : Leona Lewis by Ralph Mecke

[Papyrus]

I really don't like the cover and I really don't like the edits. HB looks like it will be disappointing this month, but thanks anyways for the scans truebluejen.

What is this dude doing on a cover of a female magazine? Is everybody suddenly taking after Vogue Paris? Not really impressed but then again we're talking UK version.

Shes gorgeous but the cover is kinda boring, they should have used the shot of her in the green Dolce gown, its gorgeous and thanks for posting new order ed trueblue jean, great dresses!

I don't doubt Leona's talent for one second, I just think they should have waited for her to prove herself a bit more before giving her the cover.

 

[scriptgirl]

I don't get or like the snobbishness people have of Leona being on the cover. She has talent, she is beautiful and wears clothes well. That is all that should matter re being on the cover of a fashion rag. Besides, the more women of color on the cover of fashion mags, the better. Celebs on the cover of fashion mags are here to stay. Get over it.

I like it kinna tacky for HB but its still interesting.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Script girl,please dont play the race card on this one.It gets old after a while.I am always for women of colour to get magazine covers,something i have stated many times before!
But this is an atrocious cover,and i dont care who it is,and imo she cant wear clothes at all.And if we are tallking about this subject why is it that everytime a black woman is featured on the cover of a magazine it always feels like;half done job?Who in their right mind would approve this shoot for the cover?Or that Jennifer Hudsons spread in Us Vogue comes to mind,i am just saying....................

 

[scriptgirl]

I am sorry, but I am going to have to go against you. I think the cover is gorgeous. Did not mean to annoy with the "race card" thing, but those are my honest feelings.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^Oh no,no hard feelings at all.I didnt mean it like an attack either,and was not annoyed by what you wrote. I personaly just think they could have done a better job with her cover,but i am glad you are happy with it.

At first I thought they had re-used images from the previous time Leona had featured in the magazine. Then I realised they were actually new images. If we're going to see a lot of Leona, can we see different sides to her? Because she's lovely, but also rather boring. The background story of a girl who goes to stage school and then enters a talent competition is hardly the tale of someone beating all the odds.

And there was no point waking up for the editorials, because they aren't that exciting either. I've been impressed with this magazine recently, so I think they're saving all their energies for the March issue.

 

[tigerrouge]

I subscribe, but I noticed something about the newsstand issue - they've wrapped it in plastic with a header about 'new collections' as if there's a separate supplement. But there isn't one! It's a swizz! It's just an article inside the magazine, with the usual mass of cut-out shots from the catwalk. It's quite a crafty trick...

 

[jackieonassis]

Not a great issue I thought.

 

[tigerrouge]

But I did enjoy it being an issue to cut up, rather than treasure, as I now have some spring ads to play with...

 

[cecil]

She is talented but has no business being on the cover of a fashion magazine,and what a terrible cover!

New order ed is very boring,US Vogue boring.

Thanks for all scans truebluejeans.

perfect comment
