[loverdariafreja]

wow! i love jourdan but her right eye bothers me a bit. oh well, i'll just get Lily then.

 

[AnaBGD]

Eliza's looks best to me! I like Agyness' and Kate's too.

Alice D looks like Raquel so much to me.

 

[hfgl]

I can't wait to see Cecilia chancellor's feature

 

[J'ador-DioR]

Jourdan looks like someone punched her in her right eye

I think that Solve Sundsbo shot this.

 

[cesarcmma]

Awesome...Stella is my fave but Agynes and Susie are very close... I can't wait to see the ed, the styling looks superb.


Sounds like a great issue


Worst for me is Daisy L.

 

[agneslo]

WOW.. i am amazed.

 

[testinofan]

ALL covers are sturning but i hate the Jourdan Dunn cover

 

[iamtybone]

Jourdan's cover is my favorite.

 

[Luxx]

Personally I don't care much about the Kate cover. It's nice but I've seen better from her. For me Yasmin Lebon, Susie Bick, Agyness and Jourdan are just owning this. Not to mention Stella and Naomi.

The only cover that doesn't do it for me is Daisy Lowe's. So unflattering.

And whoa, Eliza is having quite the month isn't she?!

 

[Juliette3]

I love Kate, Agyness and Alice Dellal on the covers. Yasmin Le Bon looks a bit strange on her cover, I normally love her!

 

[sethii]

Worst:
Daisy Lowe (rugby ball in a wig)
Naomi (she looks ill)
Lily (taken out by a sniper?)

Best:
Yasmin (beautiful composition and soft expression)
Twiggy (very sweet)
Jourdan (baby supermodel!)

It's sad that the newest girls are chosen because of their partying and love lives rather than beauty or modelling ability.

 

[Aja Mok]

loooove Stella cover!!!!

 

[The.Rock.Inc.]

Oh no, another difficult choice to make when purchasing...

EXACTLY what I am worrying about right now...

but I will go for the oldies + Jourdan.

 

[Katie123]

daisy's face looks so off, bad bad photoshop

 

[tocceve]

Personally I don't care much about the Kate cover. It's nice but I've seen better from her. For me Yasmin Lebon, Susie Bick, Agyness and Jourdan are just owning this. Not to mention Stella and Naomi.

The only cover that doesn't do it for me is Daisy Lowe's. So unflattering.

And whoa, Eliza is having quite the month isn't she?!

I agree about these 4 covers but the Susie Bick one has to be the most eyecatching one.

I don't like Lily's Eliza's cover. Oh and Daisy's is horrible too yes.

Naomi has short hair?

I miss Eden Clark here. Karen Elson, Erin O'Connor.

 

[indie]

I hope I get the Susie Bick one! Seems like an rather pleasing issue.

 

[MyNameIs]

I only like three of those.

Stella's is my favorite. I also like, and this is shocking to me, Kate's and AGYNESS?!?!?! Lol, what's happening?

The worst cover belongs to Daisy. I also hate Lily's cover and really dislike Naomi's.

 

[jacquelineo]

lily cole?

Really!?! Daisy and no Lily.. There is something wrong that

 

[AD011620]

Well I think I will go for Yasmin Le Bon... and maybe Alice even though I am not very fond of her... i quite like the cover... and yes, Stella's cover is great as well...
