Third cover

 

[MON]

HAHAHAHAHA.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

At least they have a budget for fonts. Vogue Italia only gets strings, ropes, and leaves.

 

[Xone]

The “Skate of mind” font reminds me of Pet Shop Boys “Fundamental” album font..

 

[Benn98]

Three awful covers and the one with Paloma's brother is the worst! And a story about skating for L'Uomo? Who even is the L'Uomo reader?

I don't think they even care at this point.

 

[Summer Day]

Tony Hawk? Did I wake up in 1998. And Paloma brother/Binx's boyfriend? Is he a professional skateboarder or a model with the right connections that happens to skateboard? Whatever the case, they should've kept this.

Final cover:

 

[Benn98]

The styling on Mica is so misplaced because it's half-baked. That's not her. And anyway what sort of a chance did she had when her man's hair and makeup (and bone structure) is x10 better than hers. If they wanted a coquettish VS model, why not just get them. Go all-out glam like HB Argentina did or don't do it at all.

Glad they released all 5 covers within hours. There would be no need to hype up the reveal when it's this underwhelming.

This looks beautiful! I love this.

The rest are either pretentious or unplanned.

 

[JPineapple]

The cover with Mika and Parker is the only one that works.

Agree completely

That would be someone like me.

Grew up with skateboarders/skateboarding and L'UOMO during my teendom and well into my 20s. Except for the child (come on— stop casting children for the covers of a men’s fashion rag), the cover subjects are solid. Unfortunately, awful “creative direction”, photography and styling will inevitably drag everything down to the bottom-of-the-barrel blandness, which seems to be always the case these dire days.

Had this been back in the days of Franc’s reign, Bruce/Steven/Terry would have produced gorgeous, red-blooded, unabashed, unapologetic, unashamed-exploitive masculinity. These days… a child gets a cover— like it’s National Geographic… Sheesh.

 

[Miran]

Parker's and Mica's cover is solid.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

The fashion is so ordinary. It needs all the bells and whistles to make it work. Should've called in Rabensteiner & Walter Chin.

 

[FashionMuseDior]

it looks a like a more polished Italian Vogue

 

[Xone]

Why oh why?

 

[Fiercification]

Even though I was never part of the skater gang, I feel like Tony Hawk is such an icon from my childhood in general that I can only appreciate his presence here, even if it looks like Colin Dodgson's first assistant took the photos. That's all.
