No print copy yet, but I'm looking through the digital...
I get why the editor herself would see this as a "homecoming" issue, but for me, it's the homecoming of someone I didn't know was away.
I see in her editor's note that she talks of being "eager to look beyond our capital and tell the style and culture stories unfolding in all corners of the UK". A magazine that bears a nation's name but only ever concentrates on London can turn into a superficial tourist brochure. We know that people flow to London to make the city what it is, but the source, the inspiration, the stories - they started elsewhere.
Robin Muir's one-page "Now & Then" section looks at Martin Parr, as he launches a new book "Fashion Faux Parr", apparently it's his 135th book. His single cover for UK Vogue was that one during covid that had the sheep (and sheep sh*t) on it.
The Lila Moss in a Surrey garden is a bit UK Bazaar - these days it's great to see any Vogue editorial that was shot on location, and it provides a nice contrast to the Bella story following afterwards. In any edition that's full of other studio-shot editorials, the Bella story will feel like sitting through page after page of blandness.
Billie Piper looks great, it's a pity the feature is so short and shoved at the back. Given that she's gone from teenage pop star to working for decades as a successful actress, you could have got a cover story from it.
In terms of my own tastes, I don't expect much glamour from an April issue, that's not what the month is about. This issue feels fitting. Spring-summer in the UK can be a casual time of year. When autumn starts coming closer, and the clothes start getting serious, that's when any absence of glamour will feel wrong. You could probably set your clock for my whinging to start with the August issue.

The cover is just Insta-quality with an extremely low budget.

Ordinary Couture; stringy hair; awkward posing & facial expression & climbing on top of a cab make for a pretty basic concept - it’s embarrassing.
Just a another nail in the coffin of print media.
When are they going to learn a cover is about promoting capitalism/ consumerism!!!!

It’s probably because the magazine rack is no longer relevant, and covers alone are probably not what entices new readers anyway, but the new editors of the major editions of Vogue really cannot put together a decent cover. FKA Twigs is a great choice for the cover/main editorial but the choice of photographer is a problem: Johnny Dufort’s style of photography doesn’t really lend itself to a publication like Vogue UK, not unconstrained anyway.
