Russh December / January 12.13 : Marte Mei Van Haaster by Alex Franco

She looks like Jaslene Gonzalez (ANTM winner) here, especially on the cover.

 

The cover would have been decent without the flower print and the weird font of the tagline, "greatest hits." Also, is it just me or does Marte's left leg look wonky in the last picture? It looks like it was taken at a bad angle or something.

 

One of the weakest covers by Russh so far.. I don't know who that girl is but she needs a lot more energy/soul/dimension, even if what she's selling is exactly no energy, soul or dimension.

The styling is also reminiscent of one of Wang's dirty/smelly-looking collections around 2009.

 

I agree, that's definitely not their best cover, though I don't find it that bad. But the editorial is seriously awful. No idea what they were trying to convey here? Marte looks incredibly awkward and I hate the styling, too.

 

Marte's cover is nice but I agree with some of the feedback. She's just missing that certain something to make it spark. Her ed on the other hand, is a disaster, same facial expression through out and it looks more like a catalog shoot.

On the other hand, Because the Night Calls Patti, is very cool!!

Thanks, hexagon sun for all the posts!

I feel like we see the exact same editorials in Russh every issue.

I really miss Will Davidson and Benny Horne.

 

Fantastic cover and content.

 

I agree. I feel like my eye's just glaze over while looking at the editorials, they don't have any variety. It's a shame really because I remember when it was great a few years ago. I wish Russh would shake things up a bit and bring back the old sense of spark that it used to have.

 

I agree I have bought Russh since the beginning but haven't bought it for over a year

 

This leaves me cold... :\
