[vogue28]

could you please name the models?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Thanks for the scans but please do use thumbnails since it distorts the page so very much.

 

[vogue28]

I gotta agree Miss Dalloway, it takes longer to load

 

[discothequechic]

Thanks for the scans but please do use thumbnails since it distorts the page so very much.

yeah sure, this was my first time uploading, so I'll remember for next time!

and vogue28, the models are:

Zuzanna Gregorova for the "Lost Kingdom" ed.
Jeisa Chiminazzo for the "New Layering" ed.
Barbara Berger and Alex Tobey for "The Lovers".

Must say, I'm not particularly feeling the fashion editorials this month. It's better on the features front. For example, column on CREDIT CRUNCH SHOPPING.

Last month's spreads were so strong, but these look a little more commerical and there are a couple of advertorials, which brings the standard down a little.

By the way, Closet Confidential is with the great Amanda Harlech.
My Stylish Life with Devon Aoki.

This issue is pretty good and I love the cover Never seen Alexa look sexier.
The eds are good too.......I really like Rachel Alexander's ed, she's usually all moody but this quite upbeat and Zuzana's ed is nice too.
Jeisa C. also has an ed ( I'll try to scan when I get time) where she looks spookingly like Rachel Clark IMO.

I am actually suprised at how nice the "instore" cover really is.

It looks really good on newstands, and certainly stands out from the rest.
