[crmsn]

Apologies for the late announcement.

The winner of this week's challenge is Legolas for their gorgeous German Vogue cover with Anna.

I'd also like to show my appreciation to Pradn's beautiful entries. This was a tough choice.

Congratulations!

Congrats @Legolas !!
Can't wait for the next challenge!

 

[Legolas]

Thank you so much you all! 🙌
Like crmsn said, with so many fabulous cover, I bet it was hard to choose and I'm ready to go through the same. Without further ado, this week's challenge is:

Bold Duos

Create a cover featuring two fashion figures together. They can be 2 models, model + designer, 2 designers, 2 celebrities, an iconic fashion couple, artists or any other combination you can think of following that same path. Try your best to highlight the relevance of your chosen collaboration / relationship through the image composition and layout. Avoid using an image that was already a previous cover using the same concept, instead you may crop your duo from a any group shot of a campaign, editorial, unused duo photo for a cover etc. Any fashion era is allowed, you can create a vintage cover from an iconic duo who is already dead (or maybe just 1 of them) and bring them back to life. Relevant newcomer models are also allowed, surprise us and good luck! ​

 

[Legolas]

As an additional note, forgot to mention, I think for this challenge it would be interesting to also allow combining two different pictures using AI or the regular Photoshop tricks... if that's the case, just let us know which were the 2 images of your choice that created your piece! 🧑‍🎨

I knew this was going to tough, so I really just want to thank everybody for giving me a break from the atrocious/boring casting and layout decisions we experience theses days in most real covers.

This week's winner is: pradn

From all the possible takes for this challenge, something like male model brothers never crossed my mind. Very resfreshing casting, made me realized I actually missed the Smedleys around, sad both are now retired.
Congrats!

 

[pradn]

Thank you so much @Legolas , for choosing me as the winner of this fun round and for your kind words. I truly appreciate it (pardon me for the excessive amounts of covers, I was too excited, haha..), and a huge round of applause to everyone who participated in this round.
PS: Welcome back, dear @vogue28 !!

The next theme is:

"Cross-Dressing"​

Spoiler

Grace Musase by Sølve Sundsbø for V

vmagazine​

Seeing male and female figures wearing opposing outfits in several editorials (even covers) to appreciate the art form of dressing with or without political agenda is somehow truly refreshing. Interpret the theme as you wish. Have fun you guys!​
