My lovely people (especially @vogue28 ), does anyone knows when this issue hits the stands?

Newsstand.co.uk is still stating a release date of 19th July.

The 19th, according to @[B]tigerrouge[/B] via Newsstand’s website. Yet I’m still finding it strange there’s zero mention on Vogue’s socials or website about the on-sale date.

THANKS, my loves!

P.S. It's strange, indeed, there's no mention on Vogue's website and/or social media about the on-sale date...

 

[ah ah]

Vogue Italia July is not out yet and they feel the need to introduce the August cover already? LOL

Most influential women of the United Kingdom feature, and the first mention of the issue’s on-sale date:

i’ve just received mine in the post today, and apart from the main editorial there’s a few more! i haven’t looked properly yet but there’s:

a f/w 22 editorial by craig mcdean and grace coddington - 12 pages

“seville liberties” which is a dior cruise 23 editorial photographed by david gomez-maestre - 6 pages

an editorial with keke palmer which is short, photographed by greg williams and styled by law roach

another f/w 22 editorial called “just press” photographed by thue norgaard and styled by poppy kain - 14 pages

“ore struck” which features bella hadid and is photographed by elizaveta porodins and styled by gabriella KJ - 6 pages

in total it’s 210 pages

Can’t wait to see the McDean/Coddington editorial. The ed with Bella isn’t bad, though I’ve already seen it in my copy of American Vogue. The shared content thing is so tiresome, though obviously inevitable. On the plus side, Vogue has some promising new video series coming soon. Not an ideal trade-off, but I’ll take what I can get.

210 pages for August is not bad compared to American Vogue's 106. I'm excited to see Keke's editorial.

Nothing groundbreaking, but a very solid issue overall! Btw, Bella's ed in the US Vogue has 3 or 4 more images and it looks much better as a whole...

The post-covid freedom to go places is helping a lot with the content, because we're back to seeing a mix of editorial types. It couldn't be helped that we had a constant stream of studio shoots for months on end, but there's only so many times you can add special effects in post-production before that too becomes flat and uninspired and seen-it-all-before. But when you mix the types of shoot together, each of them becomes more interesting, because the mood changes from one page to the next.

I wonder what shoots we 'lost' - that were planned but never came to pass because of covid.

Thanks, Zorka, for uploading these.

My subscription copy has just come through the door - unlike the scans above, nearly every editorial has some kind of white border around the images, so instead of the page being an immersive experience, you feel very distanced from the images. See those images above? That's not what you get.

Instead of the page being a seamless presentation of a street scene where you can suspend reality and feel part of it, there's a big white border glaring out at you. Instead of a highly coloured image being a sensory experience, there's a big white border working against the vibe of the colour. The four landscape images in Seville Liberties are tiny, I'm having to peer at them like I'm Mr Magoo.

And the white borders are slightly different for every shoot, so there's not even consistency in their use, and the borders being so obvious, this inconsistency stands out.

This has been a feature of UK Vogue since the start - but in this issue, it's used in practically every editorial, so the over-use is glaring. Whatever effect this is supposed to achieve, it's doing the opposite. It's like a design student who's seen something they really like and is going through a phase of doing it to death because their repertoire is still at the narrow stage.

STOP WITH THE WHITE BORDERS. Just let the images speak for themselves instead of stuffing them into white boxes, and looking like you can't afford to print to the edge of the pages.

Vogue, set yourself a challenge - one issue with no white borders around any of the editorial images.

 

[Zorka]

... STOP WITH THE WHITE BORDERS.

The only good editorial is from Grace.
