Edward is so "try hard"... He should care about the magazine he has in his hands instead of working for others!

 

[kokobombon]

awww poor Lila, she looks so out of place...

 

[Cocteau Stone]

These are horribly lit, and even more terribly post produced. Nick needs to forget about NFTs and his ikon-1 project because it's making his approaches with the real all the more fake and cheap looking.

But you also can't polish the turd that is this styling hack job...

Why?

 

[Lola701]

Something his changed about Edward…He looks very much athletic…
It’s a terrible ed. They should have called Jean Paul Goude for this type of ed…He is the king for that.

 

[thiago:)]

Damn, they picked a horrible picture for the cover. Kristen looks awful!
After seeing the whole editorial, I think everyone looks terrible. From the facial expressions to the (lack of?) post production.
Major no to me.

 

[blueorchid]

All of that motion and jumping, yet they all somehow look like lifeless waxworks.

GAGGED HER

when I read ‘Edward’ I was like ‘no way’ but then I opened the post and there he was
girl it was only a question of time, right? smooth of him to do it with PAPER magazine I’ll give him that.

the cover however is tragic. I see a couple of broken necks and styling that reminds me of Marc Jacobs from years ago. wait a second!

the shot with Jourdan is cute and so is the one with Karen and Kristen.

 

[JPineapple]

Why Lila? The Hadid’s weren’t available?

 

[aracic]

On paper, this should've been a fashion spectacle. I mean you have all these incredible models, Adut and Lila (I guess Kate was busy?), you have Edward, you have Nick Knight... the result wasn't supposed to look like this. Such a shame.

 

[aracic]

How sad. There is no magic in that, Edward...

Having worked together for so long in this industry at so many different levels, how has the industry changed over that time?

Linda: Oy.

Edward: Oy. Where do we start?

Linda: Would you agree with me Edward that now, the finished product, which is the ad, the photo or the editorial is no longer the primary reason to be there? All the B-roll and social media is the reason to be there. It feels like the image ends up being the least important part.

Edward: Yeah. In the beginning, we would shoot pictures for magazines and you try to do the best pictures you can but now everything is a brand. So, like Linda is saying, there's the magazine cover which, for me, is the ultimate because it’s still the advertising for any magazine. But out of that you have to do video, audio, events. It’s no longer just one thing. But I still believe it’s what brings the magic.

 

[Kimy Jo]

How sad. There is no magic in that, Edward...

It makes me sick, fould the magazine them, its better than do embarrassing issues

 

[VogueGirl8910]

The whole editorial it's bland & lifeless. Only save the image of Enninful with Karen & Kristen.

 

[Gonzalo]

I love Kristen , but she shouldn' t have made a fortune ...

 

[oaklee91]

No no no and no

 

[balmain1914]
