UK Harper's Bazaar October 2012 : Joan Smalls & Laetitia Casta by Sebastian Faena

^ LMAO. Yes, I don't think most would complain about seeing Laetitia's ample curves being displayed so nicely.

But its not nice. Im all for curves and ample cleavage but it just looks uncomfortably tight. Its cutting in. Dislike.

Laetitia's image almost looks like a reprint to me, but she looks lovely. I don't really like the pose Joan is doing on her cover, the direction's a bit too J. Lo.

both covers look amazing..something 90s in a good way

Laeticia looks so gorgeous in every shot, esp love the subscribers cover, she looks like Snow White in the white lace

 

[Abracadabra]

I just don't know, all three covers bore me somewhat. Despite this I praise whoever made the decision to make Joan and Laetitia cover stars rather than the usual suspects. It's hard to say but I think Laetitia's newsstand cover marginally steals it for me.

 

[ForChicSake]

the subscriber's cover is phenomenal love it can't wait to see the main eds

 

[JuiceMajor]

Wud definitely get this copy! Like the cover already

 

[valliaddict]

I seriously can't wait for the HQs!!

I didn't see any Joans for sale, but I did get my copy of Laetitia's cover. On the newsstand, her cleavage is mostly concealed by the paper run-around that keeps the supplement together with the main issue. A nice follow-up to the September issue, something to flick through on a slightly colder day, alongside coffee and dark chocolate.

I really like Joan's and Laetitia's covers. I would get Joan's if I had the choice though but I'm probably going to have to go on a bit of a hunt to find it.

Both covers are beautiful. And Joan just does it again - what an immediate, beautiful smile on that cover. That is rare.

LOVE Joan Smalls cover .... its not exactly creative but the pose is very fresh, she looks incredible and she is the only black model to follow in the footsteps of Naomi & Liya in so many areas...

 

[lightblue]

Joan's editorial is gorgeous but Laetitia is slaying on the cover.

 

[KateTheGreatest]

subscriber's cover is only of laetitia?

 

[honeycombchild]

Yup. Joan has a newsstand cover too, subscribers just had Laetitia.

If I can find a Joan cover, I'll happily get that as well, and let the magazine know I appreciate the sight of her on the front... but that depends on how widely distributed her version is. If they've put her on a cover that I can't actually get, then it doesn't matter what I think of the scanned image, they've not really delivered it in reality. So I'll be trying to track that down in the week ahead.
