UK Vogue October 2024 : Florence Pugh by Venetia Scott

In Old Hollywood, it wasn't unusual for an actress to be short, but least they had people who knew how to dress them.

The only good thing about this issue, to be fair, is Anok's photo - and a better photo was published by French Vogue, so there's that.

Looking at the cover the first time now. It looks unintentionally funny, but given the context you have to think they were going for that? Like the fashion version of"The Office" or something.

You have to congratulate everyone involved for being brave enough to try something that meta and hard to decipher.

British Vogue is not worth commenting anymore.

When I was a teenager back in mid-to-late 2000s and early 2010s, forming my magazine opinions and aesthetics, this edition was how I imagined the concept of Vogue, a trendy, relevant powerhouse. For me, US Vogue was too commercial and celeb-oriented and French and Italian editions were too artistic. British Vogue was it. I loved buying back issues from early 2000s and late 1990s at a second-hand store. Okay, magazines were more relevant then, but you could see the buzz and high budgets pouring over the pages. Look at it now, it's tragic, it somehow died down so fast.

I think Alexandra Shulman stayed on far too long, for the sake of still being there to oversee some landmark issues in the magazine's history. By then, the magazine had devolved to being on a holding pattern, because it felt like Shulman had mentally and emotionally checked out, even if she hadn't actually moved on.

And it means we don't tend to remember the better years, when UK Vogue was a genuine voice in fashion.

can always count on a florence pugh ed to feature her boobs in some way, shape, or form. riveting.

it's blah and bland, low effort. and of course, there's no story, no sense of purpose in these photos. it feels like a banal, random insta shoot for a fashion influencer. but that's insulting because even they try to make sense of what they're being paid to promote. florence is just there and were supposed to what... like it just cause?

chasing youth culture will continue to undermine chioma's version of vogue uk

Couldn't agree more. It's like she just showed up and said "okay, here's my t*ts" and they took her picture.

I still find it difficult to totally blame these issues on the actresses/models alone. I think the issue is really with photographers when their subjects end up looking like this. Someone like Francesco Scavullo shot a number of actresses who were probably frumpy and dumpy off-camera for Harper's Bazaar, for example, but they never looked like that in front of his camera.

You're right, that is true. Whoever was directing this shot should have done better.
