UK Vogue January 2019 : Dua Lipa by Nadine Ijewere

I knew this moment would come I knew that I would hate. I cant stand this girl anywhere especially wrapped fathers in cover with a tacky art direction. Next.

 

Love that new photographers are being given the spot light & I actually like the photo generally apart from the makeup & the cover lines/masthead colours are off for me!

Very curious to see the subscriber cover & the editorials inside! Hopefully the subscribers cover isn’t just another black & white shot.

 

I just saw it and came to see and comment, but cannot really say anything new I'm glad to see her, she is really stylish and creative and I think outstands from the usual pop princesses we see always. But this cover is a true let-down. I can't believe that make-up! disastrous

 

I don't know which magazine is worse if US Vogue or UK Vogue. Her makeup, that dress, and those earrings are so ugly!

 

Kudos to Nadine Ijewere, significant deal for her.

 

so bad

 

This would be great with another model / talent.

 

Boring as her stage presence.

 

She looks very matronly. The styling is not age appropriate. She's a young singer not a grand dame!

 

Glad to see a new photographer, but Nadine’s work is not Vogue. The layout and styling are bad.

 

The photographer is not capable to shoot a major magazine like Vogue.

 

I love the subscriber’s cover. Much more than the Newsstand one!

 

What the hell is that dress?

 

This is serving me Vogue Ukraine and in my book it's from a good thing.

 

So I just downloaded my issue, it’s approximately 238 pages with surprisingly a lot of content, lots and lots of editorials. The feature on Dua Lipa is actually part of some *get ready to roll your eyes* youth quake series that also features Binx Walton and an actress of color.

Besides that it’s a surprisingly good issue for the month although I would hope to see more spring and summer collections as most of the editorials featured resort clothes.

Worth the purchase!

 

Thank God I'm not a subscriber. It is indeed very Vogue Ukraine, only, the bad part of them. That specific image is too linear. Like the Alek Wek cover.

 

I find the subscriber's cover better overall than the mess of the main stand cover but it is still a snoozefest. It sure helps that Dua Lipa is not the person to rock this kind of styling. I've seen a few videos of her, photoshoot and all, and I find her to be more of a YSL girl than a Gucci muse. She doesn't have the confidence to rock something as ethereal. The "clean" make-up and that hair don't suit her either - neither her face nor her personality. Sevdaliza (pictured here) would be a much better fit for this editorial.

I wish Edward would stick to more of a formula with covers, I wish all magazines stuck to a vibe in that you could see the cover and go 'ah that's so ___' like we could with Vogue Italia under Meisel, i-D of course, Vogue Paris, etc. this is such a departure from where he was going no? This could be... Vogue Ukraine, any indie mag anywhere.
