Ew, what's with the closeup, there's nothing remotely erotic about that expression. Jac would've nailed the cover with a subtle sultry look. I love both Yeste and Lennox's work here, incredibly moody and sexy.

The model in Virginale is Steffi Soede.

Well I'm a sucker for a good close-up on a cover, but not digging her editorial much. On the other hand, Jac's ed is just beautiful! Jac and Txema Yeste really deliver here.

 

[gossiping]

jac and sigrid's edits are amazing

 

[Fashiognosis]

Jac's ed is beyond words. They should've give her the cover.

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

Manon has yet to prove that she is even a decent model when it comes to print

 

[ChristyLeReveur]

amazing cover, but yeah, nothing erotic.

 

[Psylocke]

I like the cover and I like Jac's editorial, but everything else that has been posted so far is just mediocre. None of the models really work the theme here, they all looks mostly awkward and not sexy at all. Sigrid Agren's and Manon Leloup's editorials are especially bad. Soo Joo's ed would be great if she looked more convincing. Very lackluster issue.

 

[MoniqValentino]

JAC session. is the best. I am not convinced to Daphne, Elisabeth and Soo Joo editorial! I think the JAC. should be on the cover of this issue.

 

[Starry]

It's interesting to see this cover and the title "erotic" on it, which makes me think about Vogue Paris February 2005 with Gemma Ward on the cover with "erotic chic" as the theme. What a coincidence, Gemma happened to be wearing polka dot dress on that cover as well.

 

[gossiping]

i think the models they use now are not great...just compare to last year or 2 years ago..

 

[darri]

Jac's edit is superb, the best in the issue, Sigrid's ed is pretty good too

 

[Deleted member 1957]

nice issue great eds! the cover and its ed look too exposed which somewhat flattens it

 

[tigerrouge]

Wake me up when something erotic happens in this issue... well, even being half-asleep wouldn't improve matters.

I do like Daphne, but she's fierce rather than truly erotic. Yes, she has that face, but behind it, there isn't yet the sense of her being an experienced woman, she's still a lolita, and they're ubiquitous in the world of fashion editorials.

 

[lelaid]

^ agreed. I get that they're trying to not be so literal but the last time I checked, there was nothing subtle about the erotic. While all of the editorials are generally nice (mainly Soo Joo, Sigrid, Jac, and Daphne's) they fail to actually be all that erotic. It's weird because I've seen so many other truly erotic editorials in Numero before (the S&M one with Aymeline anyone?).
