Pop #49 F/W 2018.19

Stunning editorial by Charlotte Wales, Bella fits well as we all know how her face and expression/poses often look plastic and statuary (or stiff, it depends on the point of view). Anyway the photos are very beautiful, they remind me of this editorial of Gisele by Vincent Peters back in 1999:

I love how in the past editorials were so dreamy and intense, now everything feels quite cold..

This Gisele shoot feels a bit creepy as much as dreamy to me

Anyone have the Meisel "reference"? Or the full Charlotte Wales story?

This Bella Hadid as art exhibit moment has really gone viral

Thank you! So while the media's eyes are glued to LV buying a Vanity Fair cover, Pop with their blatant advertorials and sanctimonious followers literally get away unscathed. It's sickening to be honest. Other than Chinese magazines, none of the Vogues and whatnot would ever run advertorials. It's passé, tacky, and low class. Just ask Fabien Baron.

I’m pretty sure Vogue Italia has been doing the ‘one brand editorail’ thing for a very long time. Or is an advertorial something different?

Im pretty sure Ive seen a Philip-Lorca diCorcia editorial playing around with this concept too, years ago. Cant exactly recall where, maybe W? Steven Klein for sure has as well. So its hardly original but great use of the 'model'. Well played Charlotte.

Would like to see the Lorca diCorcia. Just spent a couple of hours looking at his work to no avail.....

Agreed re Charlotte getting something really resonant out of Bella Hadid. Here in Toronto the singer from the Weekend was posting it.... So happy that an interesting, emergent talent is getting further recognition! Well done POP!!! Nite all

It was in W September 2000. Check the thread I’ve started for that issue, I think I posted that there.

Bella's editorial is ok , but all her editorial work up until now is mediocre and nothing special and everyone is about to praise her like she's some Guinevere, Kristen Mcmenamy or Alek Wek. a bit much.

great to see Miss Pedaru!

great to see Miss Pedaru!

LOVE Pedaru and love this shoot with Lajeunie!

POP does such a good job in introducing new fashion talent and shifting around its contributors while maintaining its own distinct spirit. I literally cannot wait for this new issue

Ooh they shot this in Tallinn! Lovely.

I enjoy most of Bella's work but Apple's post really ruined the editorial for me lol. Everything's so bland and generic these days, from "legit" models to "legit" design and photography, that a presence like Bella feels much needed and is currently doing what models did in the early 90s: add a bit of celebrity to a modeling industry that has proved incapable, for the past 15 years, to produce just ONE star that comprehends all sides of show business while staying loyal to modeling and nurture the celebrity world with modelesque looks in return... upgrading tabloids from unfortunate-looking people with out of shape bodies and grotesque tans (the Lindays, Geldof sisters and other "it" "fashionable" girls of the previous generation).

The editorial could've easily conveyed all of that and I see it is doing just that for teens that haven't done their modeling history homework but seeing Gisele's is a harsh reminder of how low our expectations have fallen and how long it's been since somebody looked extraordinary. I don't care for the recent discrediting of Gisele's career around tFS, if you lived in her heyday, you know her relevance and she was a combination that did seem like a genetic jackpot, everything about her from lines to looks to extent of appeal (from japanese designer shows to trashy horny dude magazine to luxury brand unattainability) she could do it all back and forth and at the same time, look nothing like the rest or even "beautiful", she was not conventional, just captivating and commanded respect. So the idea of putting her behind a vitrine made sense and was fun and fascinating.

When you look at that, and then look at Bella, it just looks like a pedestrian hot girl waiting for her friend to take a risky picture for her instagram and about to hit her head in most of the shots. So many attempts to make her body long and none of them succeed, she looks rather compact and she isn't, she just looks uncomfortable as hell inside a box, because she's too much like us..

I like all of the covers though.. hopefully Binx's story will be better.

At this point they might as well print random pages on the cover.

POP drops heaps of covers, 10, to pick and choose | MODELS.com Feed

Besides their antics, this looks like an amazing issue! Can’t wait!
