They did such a great job with the cover, it's too bad it had to be her. I don't hate her, but it's annoying how often she gets covers.

^ Its because she sells, its not her fault, i mean the editors want her for obvious reasons, same with other celebs specially in these times.

I think the cover is great, its very her, they knew how to use her well, and its well executed, she has a great profile. It sure is better than her US cover.

UK Bazaar is on my to list of must buy magazines every month, i dont even bother with UK Vogue anymore. I really hope to see Naomi on the cover soon.

I get why she's on the covers, but it doesn't mean I have to like it!

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I disagree that Victoria is overused on magazines, i am sorry, but when you compare her to someone like Sienna Miller.etc she is most certainly not. And her covers are always spaced well between months.

Anyhow, i think this is great, this is Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia great. I have always liked her sort of sad face, and the net with strong make-up is brilliant. Every magazine wants Beckham, she has a great personality, and does high fashion better than most celebs. To me personally she is a fashion icon, i grew up with her, and i applaud her for being in the public eye for more than a decade, and doing it without the scandals (no sex tapes, no drug busts, and no breakdowns from Mrs. Beckham.). She does her thing, works on her brand, and takes care of her family, i always buy the magazines she graces, and always will.

Thanks for posting Tarsha

i like the subscribers edition as well but the newstand issue is ill as hell.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Harper's Bazaar have just sent me the digital copy of this issue because of the postal strike in the UK. I'm guessing this is the subscribers cover?
source - harpers bazaar digital issue (sent to me by email)

Is this the first time they have used a different shot for the subscriber's? I dont remember UK Bazaar doing two separate covers before, but thanks alot for posting, its a stunning image. Any idea who the photographer is?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

pinkmartini so you have the whole issue in digital? Could you possibly give us a review?

The photographer is Alexi Lubomirski.

I'll try to do a review but my computer is being unbelievably slow

UK HB ploughs on full steam ahead with their outstanding covers and both are impressive but I love the nwestand cover and can't wait to get my hands on it and see the contents.
This year, hands down, they have beaten Vogue UK in cover and content.

 

[RandomGlitter]

Adore this cover. The masculine pose with the powerful, feminine style is stunning.

^Thank you very much for the review.

 

[surrealseven]

The subscriber's cover is much better than the newsstand imo.

pinkmartini, do u mind posting up Victoria's pictures?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Its rare that Edmond (love her!) is absent with her work in UK HB, in fact usually she is the dominant editor for the eds.

Thanks for the review.
