[Wolkfolk]

Flawless covers very true to Florence's aesthetic

i agree with most of the comments here. despite florence's unconventional looks -- borderline manly, almost -- they made her look really ethereal here. i guess it helps that the lighting isn't too harsh and the dress just looks about perfect on her.

Um, no

Some nice shots of Florence but a bland element is creeping into the cover design of Bazaar, when it comes to text placement and use of white space.

I hate how its the "Swimwear Special" and "Beach Body Fixes" when Florence is an Etherial waif who really is never seen out of frilly ethereal gowns, let alone in a two piece.

It looks like a May cover.

I will never understand her appeal. I truly dislike both covers. The text placement on the first cover feels totally random and the text on the second cover is beyond cheesy.

completely agree

Fairytale called Florence

To me, these covers convey everything that Florence is about.
Very nice indeed.

A lot better than her dreadful Vogue UK cover.

What an amazing covers , Florence looks great & totally agree with the other users than those are a million times better than her cover of UK Vogue.

Wow, wow, wow. This is utterly breathtaking. Jenny Dickinson is definitely going to bring Harper's UK in to a good place, and make sure it stays there. Cannot wait to have this in my hands!!

The styling is exquisite, both covers are fabulous. I have to agree with mikel though about the text placement on the newsstand cover being randomly placed. 'Go with the Flo'. Really? Is that the best UK HB could come up with on the subscribers cover?

It's weird because I've never found Florence to be particularly attractive, no offence but she doesn't have the best of faces in my opinion yet she looks somewhat beautiful here. Kudos to the photographer on getting the right angles. Yes both covers are very true to Florence's aesthetic yet I can't help but think that normally shots of her sometimes come off as being pretentious. Why's everything got to be dreamy and drowsy? It would be nice to see something a bit different.

No, no this is actually Lucy's last cover shot, so still some time before we get the idea of how Dickinson presents "her" HB.

This was shot months ago.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I LOVE this cover!

 

[Melancholybaby]

Both covers are so ethereal . Perfect for summer but not in an obvious way. I'll really miss Lucie.

This is such an ethereal cover and true to Florence's own style.
