UK Vogue July 2013 : Helena Bonham Carter by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott

[Mat Cyruss]

its nice from what the preview shows, but no surprise to me, as there were rumors and instagrams of the shoot from M&M weeks ago

Choosing Helena for the cover is genuinely one of the best decisions Alexandra has made in years for this magazine.

 

[Nepenthes]

^I second that!

 

[elsaskywalker]

That's great...
can't wait to see more of the edits

 

[Melancholybaby]

Finally an interesting woman with a unique sense of style, and paired with Mert & Marcus too. Judging from the cover alone I'll purchase this issue and I haven't done that since September last year.

OMG, The most surprise cover of the year
love it

 

[HelaFav5]

I want to see more！She looks good！

 

[KateTheGreatest]

She kinda looks like Rachel Weisz
Good to see her on the cover, I'm not a big fan but she is very interesting.

*Goosebumps*
Oh god, I need this ASAP! I love Helena and I never thought I would see her in a Vogue UK cover! Is this still going in all this rock/punk/dark trend?

 

[MoniqValentino]

Helena looks stunning! is this impossible?! GREAT JOB <<lol>>

 

[Srdjan]

I expected an outdoor shot.

 

[jeremydante]

I expected an outdoor shot.

yeah, that actually would've made more sense for her & her style.

At first I thought "oof." but now I'm falling in love with it. The best thing is she's not really a 'celebrity' in the traditional magazine sense, so that makes me even happier - she's a breath of fresh air! I can't wait to see her edit, I bet it'll be amazing!

 

[honeycombchild]

Her editorial is outside, it was shot in and around Primrose Hill. It's not really a surprise the cover is indoors though, they have a habit of making separate from the shoots inside, usually more so when it's a model though.

 

[rougevalentino]

She looks beautiful, I can't wait to see the full cover!

 

[Abracadabra]

I'm probably going to get this issue and that's saying a lot considering I haven't brought a fashion magazine for a while, not been keeping up. I'll say it once and I'll say it again - UK Vogue need to use Mert & Marcus more often, they bring so much goodness to the tables and freshen things up. Guessing there's only so far the budget can stretch though, love what they done with Rosie, Kate and now Helena going on the snapshot. I'm curious to see how this issue will pan out now or will it fall flat? Will wait and see.
