UK Vogue May 2011 : Natalia, Lara & Freja by Mario Testino

[jeremydante]

oh, wow. these covers are all completely beautiful.

 

[Northern Star]

Well none of the covers are hugely appealing, but given the concept I suppose Freja and Natalia look decent. Lara on the other hand.........hell that is awful, and much as I love her, this is just plain old bad. Who the hell chose that pic?

 

[judelove]

i'll have to see it irl. but the content seems like it will be phenomenal.

 

[Style Savvy]

Freja's cover is the best, with Lara being the worst. I was expecting a group shot when I clicked on the thread, but oh well.

 

[ForChicSake]

oh come on! it's the same models over and over and over again i know recycling is good and all but this type i can do without plus non of the covers are appealing to me so stale. after rosie's brilliant cover they went straight back to their boring old ways.

i'd like the rest of 2011 to be kate, lara, natalia and freja COVER FREE VOGUE UK!

The issues with these "big" models probably sell better than those with new ones - at least Freja's cover last year sold extremely well.

 

[PHILOSOPHY]

Just had a flick through my issue
Seems very strong, Agyness looks really good and Arizona's ed with Fei Fei Sun and a few others is litterally stunning!
HQ Natalia for those who want it

Natalia`s cover look more divine in HQ.

 

[Rotex]

thier facial expressions on the cover are a bit weird...but weird isnt neccessarily a bad thing I guess.

i got the cover i didn't want


my scan

I was sent Lara's cover which was a bit disappointing although it's no where near as bad in the flesh as it looks online. The general content of the issue this month is exceptional. One highlight is a three spread on the weddings of notable fashion personnel. It also contains large sections about all British royal weddings in past fifty years, a guide to appropriate wedding gifts and what to wear to a wedding. The editorials are also exceptional this month and are all around similar themes. Testino's was probably my favourite...

This photo is of a poor quality from my phone but hopefully it gives an idea of Testino's editorial before the previews arrive:

I've just come back to correct my comment about Lara's cover........after seeing the scan, it's not anywhere near as bad as I made out.

 

[Tacita]

Lara's cover is horrible, she has been delivering pretty disappointig shots lately... Natalia's cover is ok, but too stiff, I expect something so much better from her, and Freja's is really good, I didn't think Bride was a look she could pull off and here it is!

I'm really excited about the editorials, specially the Tim Walker one!

 

[tanii94]

The facial expressions. They just ruin it.

I'll probably pick up Lara's nonetheless.

 

[fashion_in_love]

Lara cover is bad. Freja has no expression at all (which is weird!!). Natalia looks romantic...and that's all! when i read the title i thought it would be one only cover with the 3 girls. I think it would be much better!!!

 

[MON]

Well Lara's cover is not that bad at all in HQ. Not her best would describe it better

bridal wear doesn't interest me in the slightest nor the royal wedding. so this issue isn't great for me the supplement is awesome though.

I have to agree, I thought Lara had the worst cover. Until I clicked on gossiping's scan. Natalia's expression looks awkward and lifeless, almost mid-shot. And then I don't have an opinion on Freja's. They're all pretty mediocre, I'm not sitting here impressed. Thankfully I don't feel the need to search the country for a specific cover.

 

[gossiping]

sorry my cover scan was a bit rubbish here is a better version
