The photograph looks like an Old Masters portrait. The cover looks odd but I like it.

yeah, the cropping is weird, but i really like the story, roversi saves it

 

[fauxfashion]

someone at VUK's social media team is going to be fired 😑 they tagged the wrong roversi

 

[Blayne266]

I cancelled my long standing subscription last month and this reaffirmed that it was the correct decision.

Nice story, but not for a cover the person is not interesting.

 

[Frederic01]

Looks like Vogue Children...

It's giving Vogue Bambini circa the early 2000s. What ever happened to that magazine anyway? Is it still around?!

 

[KoV]

Bella is kind of serving Botticelli angel realness in some of the photos.

I love the styling, I like Roversi. As a result I like some of the photos quite a bit, but the cover itself is a total miss.

 

[GERGIN]

Beauty if subjective, and I don’t find them beautiful at all…

A child in grown up clothes, with the face of an overfed pug.

 

[fashionsavvvvvy]

Its typical Paolo Roversi, good enough and inoffensive but i think the star doesn’t do anything. They are young so you can tell they are inexperienced with this type of gig

 

[proseccotabis]

Extremely underwhelmed by this cover. Feels like Roversi’s assistants worked on this spread… the very last photo exudes some character but that’s about it! Usually I’m a huge huge huge Paolo stan but this is a no from me

 

[Simera]

Oh, this cover actually scared me. They look like an old Victorian doll or creepy child...

 

[blueorchid]

I don’t hate it, it’s stronger visually than most of their last covers.

All the Conde Nast owned Vogue’s closed their sister publications around 2015-2022 (I think Italian Vogue shared its titles with Italian Vanity Fair for a while?).

Except Vogue France Collections and Chinese Vogue has its Beauty paper, Film and Plus editions.

^According Wikipedia, Vogue Bambini closed in 2017/8, during Farneti's ternure.

Why Roversi is working for this now low budget Vogue and not the American one? It's beyond weird Pavarotti works for Anna, knowing that his notorious inspiration is Paolo himself. Imagine the actual cover with Gigi (that strange combo of Annie and Porodina) under his lens. Wintour should call the original for once!

About this cover, hm. I think it suits better with Vogue Portugal, those artsy looking covers, I don't know. It looks interesting in certain way, their face it's very like those scary dolls from the 20s. BUT, they don't feel a nice fitting for UK. Reminds me of when Millie B. Brown ended up in Vogue Mexico in such a random way three years ago. I don't like a few things of this, but well, at the end of the day their fans must be very happy.

I just googled them. Bella is British (waiting to someone here saying "no, $#¡+", ha). Still feels random.

 

[Mody]

the right photography and right styling just the wrong model. I think they lack a certain poise for what is required. Maisie Williams would be a better choice to carry this imo

Is it really random though? The second season of their very popular and successful HBO show is about to premiere.

 

[penny609]

I do like the cover. Them and Roversi are quite a perfect match. Don't care if this looks "sad" or whatever. Don't care if this does not scream "luxury" or whatever. Didn't know who they are until this very morning, don't have HBO etc. But it doesn't stop me from liking that cover (the editorial remains slightly disappointing, though).

 

[Deneuve]

Bella looks very regal here. like the Caravaggio-vibe a lot. can't wait for the second season of The Last of Us

 

[thiago:)]

The editorial is quite interesting. They look very good. Such a pity the cover doesn't work.
