UK Vogue June 2025 : Bella Hadid by Steven Meisel

Ohh to step out of your hotel in Cannes to your massive Chopard billboard followed by a fly visit to London to launch your body perfume line only to be greeted by your own picture on Vogue everywhere…love it or hate it. She is a Supermodel by today’s standards
 
No print subscription copy yet, but the digital issue is showing 246 pages, but the actual page count is closer to 224 pages. Inside front cover ad is Dior. The Chanel ad where Lulu looks cut-and-pasted in front of the scenery is also here.

In those credit pages at the very front, there's a small colour shot of Bella taken from the cover story, which makes you imagine what if all the images had been in colour?

The Lennon Gallagher and Isobel Richmond story is near the front of the issue, she's doing all the work, then an accessories edit, a short interview with Rick Owens (feels like it could be a US Vogue reprint), the Robin Muir retro page looks at the work of Jenny Saville. There's a Jewellery & Watches special, with a shoot with Amar Akway and Jill Kortleve. (Even in Edward's time, UK Vogue never did jewellery well).

In the actual editorial section, it opens with the cover story, then SOME ENCHANTED EVENING, shot by Daniel Arnold, styled by Julia Sarr Jamois, which is people posing like it's nightlife in New York.

This is followed by a reprint from Vogue Italia May 2025 - POWER CUTS, shot by Vito Fernicola, styled by Robbie Spencer, with Loli Bahia, and it's about silhouettes, mixing styles, a little but of suiting, a little bit of athleisure. She wears the same Prada tights and belt in half the shots.

THE HEAT IS ON is shot by Oliver Hadlee, styled by Julia Sarr Jamois, and has Imaan Hammam and Vivienne Rohner wear summer clothes in a studio against a purple or white background.

There's also a sports interview with footballer Naomi Girma, and the back page is What Would Tina Knowles Do?

There's a lot of content for a summer issue. A June issue that's over 200 pages? We're lucky to see it these days.

Personally, I like the cover shoot but none of the other fashion editorials really grab me, so I'm left with an issue that I'll be keeping around for a while due to the Meisel shoot, but I'll eventually recycle because there's nothing that great on the rest of the pages, and it's taking up space where a 1992 US Vogue March or September issue could be stored.

Thank you @Zorka for the wonderful digital uploads. It is a strong issue for today's standards. Along with Meisel's cover story, I am in love with the fashion story "The Heat Is On" by Oliver Hadlee Pearch. Imaan's shots are my absolute favorite.

How do I say this correctly.....Imaan is saving and standing out in this editorial....each image she is in....works!
 
Curiosity got the better of me and had to take a peep at this issue’s 246pgs.

And Chioma is solidly consistent with her stench of local charity shop and midrange department-store aesthetic that’s become this Vogue’s signature. Even Meisel bends to her lowered standards with the coverstory. And Bella really does look like late-90s Cher in the topless shot LMFAO

The only ray of light in the entire issue is Imaan. Not even Temu-styling, Skechers campaign photography, and the plain Jane girl she’s paired with can drag her down. She’s truly the superest of any Super.
 
Wow, this is a June issue? As @MModa said it's quite strong :clappinghands:
Exactly what I was thinking scrolling down this page. Still a bit away from my "standards" but way above today's ones. And we're talking some june stuff. For once, I hope they reprint a lil bit of this in our now-crappy "Vogue France", especially since international mags became hard to find in this small-town world of mine.

a poor version of what Mario Testino efervescent ed. like these used to be...
 
For what is worth, I find the issue perfectly curated and very British or whatever that means…
Well, I think it's hard to say that any edition of Vogue is truly representative of their country, when so many of them are full of the exact same reprints, which have been designed to be bland enough that they'll transfer to any region.

You might get a cover story that's an original commission, but after that, even a lot of the written articles will be reprints, never mind the fashion stories that we see posted here.

Any edition that gets released ahead of the other ones benefits from the false impression that it has more of an original voice - and on the other end of the scale, by the time you see the fifth edition of Vogue using the same content, you're left with the impression that country's version is an empty shell.

But really, they're mostly all on the same level, it's just that one got there 'first' and seems more interesting because the imagery is fresh at this point in the cycle of every edition being released.
