Numéro Russia September 2017

I guess Ajak in the best September cover.
She looks like a modern day Nubian queen. So regal and sleek.
Love.:crush:

The one shot of her floating above the ground is stunning. If only they had more of this creativity in the other shots.

Thanks gbam
 
The shot with the wind turbine, or the 2nd last shot would make excellent covers. Must say even though I'm taken with each shot here, it doesn't feel like a very coherent editorial. Perhaps on purpose, but it's simply distracting.
 
^^^ Do you mean incoherent?

Absolutely. Some shots are ripped off wholesale from the brand of desolate, last-woman-on-earth aesthetic that i-D does so well. Others— the more sculptural ones are very Herb Ritts in Africa…. And still, the ones with the coats sprouting only arms and legs, is so Juergen Teller-indulgence. And suddenly out of nowhere, there’s this sepia, PHOTO Magazine-looking swimming in black liquid image… Just a tad incoherent...

Lol, yes Phuel, it doesn't feel like a very coherent edit....

And your take is spot on, especially the apocalyptical bit. I'd have liked to see all these themes expanded, and definitely more of the one of her drowning in tar (?) Looks very VI to me.
