Looks promising, just wondering how they'll treat the art direction on the obscured part. Hope it's not a reprint from US Elle.

A reprinted indeed.. rather surprised British Elle opted for a reprint but not surprised to see Bella's name in the thread title. She's everywhere, and definitely is her moment right now.

 

[honeycombchild]

I'm very surprised they reprinted also to be honest. I wonder if it could be a limited cover? And someone else has the main cover? I even questioned if it was the UK edition, but it's definitely all in English and the July issue, so I presume it must be? They haven't reprinted in a long time have they? Excluding the Beyonce issue.

Oh well. Clears that one up, definitely the British edition. Here's the full cover.

They haven't reprinted in a while actually. It's not a bad shot, but she's a model, not a celebrity. Surely they could've booked her for the edit.

That's crazy that they use a reprint.

They should've went with their original. But still, Bella's gorgeous so it works.

What do you mean reprint? This is shot by Bensimon, her US one was not, and it looks different. Nice to see Gilles back shooting for Elle, but this doesn't look promising to me. Weird angle!

 

[honeycombchild]

I didn't put that it was by Gilles originally, it got added in afterwards, so I'm guessing Vogue28 knew more than me!

Here's the shot it's taken from, from US Elle. So it's Terry Tisolis...?

 

[vogue28]

Apologies for the confusion everyone, Terry Tsiolis is indeed the photographer. Today has been TOO long!

At least British Elle opted for a different cover shot.. and I do quite like that shot of Bella. I like the movement in it! Elle covers have been so static lately. But yeah, ultimately would've preferred something new with a different take on Bella.

 

[honeycombchild]

I echo what was said before, of all the things to reprint, why Bella? Surely she would have gladly sat for a cover for them? It must just be a cost saving exercise for an issue that generally never sells that well. Strange.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

^ Exactly, i bet she would be more than happy to do their cover, this is such a let down they would use a reprint!

I just can't get on board with her, I don't find her neither pretty, interesting or a good model.
And if I wanted to read about a model's life, I'd want to hear from Natasha, Anja, Lara, Raquel, Isabeli, ... Someone truly established, who has been around for a while and knows about these things.

 

[guimon]

I actually like the cover. Her eyes are so beautiful, wow.

 

[phungnam96]

but she looks like Karlie in the shoot...
And I can't stand that layout.

Amazed we haven't seen the content from this issue as of yet. Is everyone losing interest in British Elle?

I was going to have a flick through the issue over the weekend but wasn't able to, due to the thick orange shrink wrap which accompanies the issue on newsstands. I don't even think the actual cover was printed on the front.. just an advert for the free eyebrow product.

I don't mind the Bella cover story, but I'm waiting to buy the US version instead. If you're a member of your local library, they might offer sight of the content for free through Zinio, which is what I've started to use for UK Elle and various other mags, including US Vogue.
