Love #20 F/W 2018.19 : The 10th Anniversary Issue

Naomi Campbell by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott:

 

Kendall Jenner by Alasdair McLellan:

 

The Kendall covers feels very unnecessary.

The last issue was very good, so I have high hopes that this issue will be worth it as well.

 

Gigi Hadid by Mikael Jansson:

 

Kendall looks good - like a nymphaea or some kind of mermaid.
Gigi, by contrast, looks horrible. What is that post-BDSM party hungover look?

 

Don’t like Gigi’s cover at all. Bad lighting and a bad facial expression. But I would be looking like that as well, if I had a dead animal on my shoulder.

 

Actually prefer the Kendall cover over the rest. Alasdair x Katie is always a good match. Gigi's is the worst. She really does look hungover.
And now words can describe the appalling make-up on the M&M cover. It's really a bit much.

 

Uma Thurman by Willy Vanderperre:

 

Wow! Absolutely in love with Uma's cover.

 

Katie Grand has become so predictable... sad. Doesnt look like this "anniversary issue" is gonna be any different from the others.

 

So Gisele will have a cover too?

 

Love Uma and love her cover.

 

Uma's cover doesn't tell me anything to be honest, Willy already did that same exact image with Julia, Poppy Delevingne and Mica, can he please find another pose? Gigi looks like some sexually enslaved woman about to take part in some sick zoophilic fantasy, she looks so miserable as of late and that cover is no exception. Kendall is just incapable of looking like anything but a cheap mannequin and that shot proves it, even her skin looks plasticky.

 

Gigi and Kendall for LOVE is like floral for spring.
Uma's cover looks uninspiring, but i'm curious about her story in this issue.

 

Honestly not one of those Love covers are good thus far... I guess Uma is the best of the bunch but thats not saying much. Kendall's cover is boring... in fact she looks bored... and the other three must be jokes!

Hopefully there will be some good editorials like the past issues...

 

No matter what I think of Love, there's always one amazing editorial in each issue that's far beyond what other magazines are putting out - a moment where it all comes together.

I'd look forward to seeing a few reprints from those stories for the tenth anniversary. But the covers have got to be more exciting than this! Newsstand.co.uk says it's out on 6th August, so I suppose there's time for many more shots to be released between now and then.

That's an unusual mood for a cover shot. She looks like she's hoping for the best, but expecting the worst - probably much like many people in this thread.
