imo all these covers are just a waste! very few are worthy, why not have just 2 or 3? are there stadistics about how well several multiple sell?

It's extremely popular with the indies and my guess is they're trying to appeal to everyone at the same time. Like democracy. I doubt they're trying to nurture a 'collect all 4' kind of mentality with their readers. I'm personally over the multi concept because it shows uncertainty and lack of creative confidence more than anything. Why not just decide on one shot, and go with it?

I'd find it frustrating to travel to all the Indigo bookshops to find specific covers here in Toronto if it wasn't for the fact that: A) POP is very well stocked, and I'd happily buy at least half of these covers (my favourite actually keeps changing.....)

I actually like Charlotte's Bella the least of all I think. But POP can put out half a dozen covers that are better than anyone else's best effort of the season. It's true!

I want the Juergen Binx. I want the Stevie Dance Bella thumb suck. I really want the Cara Beauty by Oliver Hadlee-Pearch...... And the Kris is elegant, as mentioned a couple of times already above.....

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.

I totally agree with you. And for various reasons I find Gisele's shoot a lot more mesmerizing than Bella's. When I first saw Bella's pics I looked at them without much thought, I liked them but mainly saw a model with a beautiful face who had been asked to take awkward poses I guess. However when I saw Gisele's pics afterwards I had to stare at them for a while wondering who that girl was (in the story), what was she doing in these boxes, was she happy to do this or had she been forced to, etc. All kinds of questions went through my mind trying to figure out what was going on. I could see a story and a character and not just a photoshoot with a model. Bella's shoot doesn't work as well for me, she doesn't convey anything I find, she looks like she's just having her picture taken.
This is also why I love Rianne - I think she's amazing at conveying stories, I always have to stop and stare at her pics, just like I used to do with Kate although I don't find Rianne as mesmerizing as Kate.

The children's drawings in this portfolio seem important (to me). They'be been left out here but are definitely in the magazine as they're on POP's Instastories.

Peckmezian at his best..... That Galliano look could have been a cover no?

Thank you again Stockholm!

 

[ellastica]

Enjoying the mood of Kris's cover edit shot by Peckmezian. Wonder if their inspo included this simple yet high spirited early 00 Bazaar edit starring Shalom shot by Kadel?

Seems these days minimally set studio shoots get a bad rap. However, in my experience fashion's most memorable shoots and best editorial teams shine the brightest against a plain studio backdrop. The great image makers of our times let the model's and the clothes do the talking. No fish eye lens or over the top set theatrics needed.

 

[Deleted member 141309]

Wow, this is a really good issue! Every editorial is so art+fashion+good styling+fresh! I love this.

 

[Benn98]

That Galliano look could have been a cover no?

Indeed, if they had any taste! The editor of this magazine missed their calling running Seventeen.

I do like all the edits posted so far and the review sounds great. Particularly impressed with the Emery edit. Not sure how POP can have so many location shoots in one issues (which I quite like!), yet many of the Vogues will fill their issue with studio shoots. I'm sure these locations are not even exotic in any sense, yet it adds so much production value to the images.

 

[lewak]

Agreed re location shoots and POP feeling very expensive

I want to see the Sassen shoot. She always delivers with Vanessa Reid. I don't like her cover for Another at all.....
