[hardtochase]

Bought this today, it's such a fabulous issue. Wanted the Twiggy cover but could only find Kate, Eliza, Susie and Agyness

 

[muglerette]

where are karen,jade,erin,jaquetta,lisa,sophie............????????????????

 

[muglerette]

....and i think the models editorials look soooo boring..........solve normally does an amazing job...but that is bull**** and boring

 

[chanels]

Alek is incredible I'm still pretty upset that i-D chose to ignore Karen over Daisy

 

[kinkexplosion]

This IS INCREDIBLE!!!! I want to get this issue!!!!!!!

 

[taben]

The only covers available at my local Borders were Susie, Eliza, Yasmine, Lily, Kate and Agyness...
Kate's cover doesn't look too good IRL, whereas Lily's does actually look fine. But Agyness was the standout so I got her cover!

I'm not really feeling this issue though... But there are a few great shots inside, Alek looks wonderful!

I bought one with Yasmin Le Bon... I really wanted Stella's cover .... but they only had Naomi, Yasmin, Agyness and some others... I need to say Yasmin's cover grows on me... I like it very much....

Agree Alek's edit and especially one with white orchid is super gorgeous... It has been reprinted as a cover to Daily Telegraphs Style supplement and I need to say it looked incredible as a cover... even old like really really old people buying the news paper were amazed by the photo;-))) So Guess how many times I had to mention her name;-))) "Rights... her name is Alek Wek... bla bla bla ";-)

 

[BerlinRocks]

I went through it ....
though iD seems to add the "collector" feeling to this issue, i found nothing collector at all in this ....
it was a bit boring ....

moreover there were only Twiggy, a brunette i don't know about and ... another brunette ....

 

[muglerette]

is there just solve shooting english models in front of a grayish background???or also more interesting stories inside??

 

[BerlinRocks]

^only what you described first ... no other fashion stories !

 

[muglerette]

so its going to be the most boring issue ever!!!

 

[vogue28]

I have come to a judgement that Lily's cover is the best cover I have seen in 2009 so far
I can't stop looking at it. It's even my wallpaper/screensaver on my iPhone..
There is just something about it, that appeals to me so much. Maybe the movement? and pose?

 

[tigerrouge]

I'm interested in hearing more tales of which issue people bought...

Though I had my issues for one day before I managed to bust them, I ripped one and put a fold in the other (it's a good job Alice Dellal wants people to accept her for her imperfections, because she's looking very imperfect now).

 

[AD011620]

I need to admit Agyness' cover looked great but I prefer Yasmin... well it is nice reading about the British models... I have not heard about some of them before... I still can't believe Karen Elson is not featured... but they mention her quite nicely in Erin's bit... Probably she could not make it... I don't think they would leave her out... I would not mind seeing Jodie Kidd as well even though I hated the fact that she was in something come dancing or something... Ah would love Honor Fraser as well...

 

[tigerrouge]

Karen Elson must have been too busy. There's no way you could leave out such a great model with a varied career, who has worked with everyone and seems well-liked by the industry. She's the red-head.

i think alek is one of the most underrated models. she does a knockout job

 

[MissAnia]

Kate Moss and Twiggy are my faves! Classy!

 

[fer19dog]
