o.k. lets make this easy. cn is rumored to be buying pop. mm have a small contract
with french vogue only not worldwide.w gives no contracts because they have no money, in the end most photographers pay themselves. thats it.

Oh so its just a rumor? your first post mentioned they CN were buying as we speak and it would become a machine. why do you think that?

 

[Luxx]

I love that Oluchi is in this. LOVE. She is the surprise of the month and she deserves this so much. Agyness and Jourdan's covers are my personal favorites but every single cover is good.

If Conde buys Pop then they should at the very least allow for Mert and Marcus to shoot for Pop as well as for W and Vogue Paris. I loved their work for Pop so much and I can't help but miss them at the helm.

 

[surrealseven]

Yup, I agree with Luxx. POP was like a playground for Mert and Marcus, they had endless of creativity in their work for POP.

I wonder if CN buys POP if Katie Grand will leave Harpers Bazaar.

 

[surrealseven]

I don't think CN will buy POP. Where did you guys read from? POP is under EMAP, a very big and established publisher in UK.

POP is no longer with EMAP. EMAP consumer magazines and radio was sold to German Magazine company BAUER VERLAG, last December.

 

[modelhistory]

you are right , i was not in the room , so until it is official i must say rumor .

 

[Buffalo.boy]

Pedro you are correct,

i don't believe POP is for sale, Bauer normally buy magazines not sell them, If Conde Nast wanted to buy POP Katie Grand should be very flatterted, POP was her vision, her baby. She launched an amazing creative outlet using friends and emerging talents.

is katie still styling for Bazaar?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^^She sure is still working for Bazaar,and since she was replaced at Miu Miu she has moved on to Armani.

this whole flying nun...hassidic jew...etc ...religious headgear thing...
is so tired though..

it's appropriate that it is for the 80's issue i guess...
cause that is when the religious symbolism was really being challenged in fashion by the likes of madonna and gaultier...
but still...
it's is 08...not 80...
can we please move forward already people...
>??!?!?.....

 

[cestmagique]

Fashion revisits history all the time, though. I like these; they're representing a time when religious symbolism was very present as you said, but they still feel fresh and modern.

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

funny 08 turns into 80's. I hope this does not mean 09 turns into 90's and then ill just die if i see more of Linda, Omi and Christy. Although a little Yasmin would not hurt!

 

[Mchunu]

i love every single cover! They all look great...and THREE black models! how you like those apples?

Oluchi has always been one of my favorite black models, she's always been sooooo underrated so it's a pleasant suprise for me! and also always great to see Naomi, duh! Jourdan's on a ball Agyness's cover is almost the best i think, simply because she looks so hot as a nun Natalia is always gorgeous so nothing else needs to be said.. I almost though Amber's shot was Romina Lanaro..now that would have been awesome

love them ALL though!

 

[modelgig]

I can't wait for it to come out. I will definitely buy Oluchi's cover folllowed by Naomi, Jourdann and Agyness!

 

[darri]

Aggy's cover is my favorite. As much as I like Jourdan, the unibrow ruins her cover for me.

I agree, I even photoshoppd out the uni in the brow, lol, and the cover looks alot nicer, but not as strange, which perhaps goes against what they were aiming for. Im not in love with Naomi's, Natalia's, or Ambers, even though i should cause shes working those smoky eyes. And i totally wish that theyd sexed up Natalia more, but in keeping with the theme.

But Oluchi's( that she got this cover!!!), Agyness, and Jourdans covers are very good. I'll get one of those three.

^^Berlin i agree with what you wrote, dont think M&M could have done a better job at all, in fact i think some of their POP covers were awful.And yes they are signed with CN now, so i doubt they will be working with the mag anymore.Which imo is fantastic because other photographer's get their turn.

I agree that its good that another photographer gets their chance to shine and be in the spotlight, it not fair for one photographer to monopolize something, but M+M ALWAYS pruduced GREAT Covers for Pop!!! ALWAYZ!!!(Well, maybe apart from that Angel Kate one....but the boxing one was ok,lol)

Can we please kill the word 'fierce' already? It's so ridiculous..

I know it sounds ridiculous, but in all honesty, sometimes its the only one word that can say to describe something!!!

 

[surrealseven]

it not fair for one photographer to monopolize something, but M+M ALWAYS pruduced GREAT Covers for Pop!!! ALWAYZ!!!

I totally agree, they bring such fun and creativity to POP! That's why I'm quite disappointed when they didnt shoot the current POP cover. They are almost synonymous with the POP name.

^ wasn't the last POP cover shot by Solve Sundsbo? The one with Stephanie Seymour?

 

[surrealseven]

Yup, it was the most boring cover POP has ever put out.

 

[darri]

^Wasnt it!!! well, Sienna's wasnt that hot either.....
