I have the feeling I have seen those editorials like millions of times. So predictable!

 

[Mihail Mihailov]

@Zorka do you have the Back to the Future without any text also?

Some covers are nice, i guess. But it's bit the "intermission" issue, some pleasant wallpaper images till we can resume regular business. They took it a bit too literal. I can almost hear the non intrusive music

Flicking through this online, it's.. nice enough. It's likeable. It's not fashion, it's a collection of inoffensive content that's been created to keep the printing cycle going.

In the end, most UK magazines are trying to put out an issue every month - and they do well to make it happen. Whatever I might have to say about the issue, I like that they keep producing an issue. That every month, there will still be Vogue.

And "nice" content isn't terrible if someone likes and appreciates the positive mood, that they can sit down and have a moment of looking at uncomplicated pictures of expensive things and happy people.

It's 202 pgs, although from pg 172 onwards, it's almost 30 pages of those near-the-back listings.

Edward is not relying on fashion adverts for his revenue - there are advertorials for BMW, leather handbag and shoe restoration and Turkey tourism.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the Vogue Beauty Awards is just a list on a page and a flat collage of product shots (probably taking its cue from Allure).

One fashion feature tells us to "Look to decades of legendary sportswoman"... the first example is Cindy Crawford.

Now I await the random lottery of seeing what subscription copy I will receive.

The Nick Knight cover stands out most on the stands...although it looks like National Geographic. I have to grit my teeth and say that McLellan's cover is also nice as well - although if anyone can shoot p*ss yellow coloured fields and blue skies it's him .

The landscapes are quite good inside the magazine; reminds me of how good it would look when David Sims etc. used to publish these sort of images in between the fashion imagery in W back when. Although, you know it was part of a model-driven fashion story...

Nick Knight's story is quite well done all things considering, but the shots look blurry in the magazine. Oh, and I've just seen that M&M have done something similar for i-D (which actually looks good...) on Instagram - Xiao Wen Ju and Anok are also in that cast, so you'll definitely see another shot of Anok's couch there .

Decent issue...wonder if September will feature "proper" shoots yet? I don't imagine so if it's only a month away from publication.

Reset and then feature the same ole faces in the editorial plus those snoozy at home shots of rich people playing in their gardens. That said Bella's flower pic would have made an awesome cover

The Hockney cover is no where to be found near me. I’ve seen all overs in abundance now but can’t get hold of Hockney at all.

I saw on Instagram that someone got it at Tesco.

 

[honeycombchild]

Damn them. I’ve tried two Tesco’s now. All of the major supermarkets, M&S, small newsagents...

Got the po*p cover for the sake of it

"The view out of my kitchen window"

At least I have a better view than you Teller

I got my subscription copy today (the Nick Knight cover - YES!) and I have to say I found it really enjoyable. Sure it's nothing new or overwhelmingly exciting, but it's a decent issue and pleasant enough to read on a Monday afternoon.

I personally loved Back to the Future, I thought it was a really fun way to show off the new collections and also feature some lovely archive shots. Also, there's a photograph by Mert Alas featuring a red balloon that would have made a fantastic landscape cover, certainly better than the other one he submitted - I think it probably would have been my favourite had they gone with it.

 

[HeatherAnne]

Thought the covers were bad and then I saw Victoria Beckham posting her son's beyond basic pictures of flowers that apparently are inside the issue?

HARD PASS

It’s a vogue challenge.

My subscription brought me the David Hockney cover, which certainly isn't the worst out the bunch. My favourites out the fourteen are the covers by Jamie Hawkesworth, David Sims, Craig McDean and Nick Knight. The rest are forgettable - as is this entire issue.

One thing I will remember, however, is that photograph of Bella Hadid in the tree by Nick Knight. It's fabulous!

My subscription copy arrived on Thursday, and it was the Isle of Skye one, which is nice enough, but I'm more interested in the September issue now.
