She has an amazing face. But there is so much wrong with this cover (and all vogues for that matter) and it’s that it says nothing about our moment or zeitgeist. Like what is this image? It’s so 60s Cardin space age. It says nothing about fashion today or in the future. And if it references the 60s, why????
Then there is the condom, this sterile stuff from mulier devoid of sex. The image quality again has no identity. Nothing works. Waste of a good model.

This is the remix era. But instead of addictively strong, unforgettable and ingenious reworking— it’s all weak, forgettable remixes that may be stompers at best for a moment, then instantly forgotten of when it’s over.

Drew Vickers’ “Over the Horizon” is the only worthy story: It has that mix of Mario Tesino's exuberance and effervescence; Arthur Elgort’s idealistic, energized travelogue sensibility; and I&V’s early The Face works of a severe, graphic color-palette and sharp composition. It’s all effortless but clearly shows effort to tell a story. And that’s a rarity these days amongst the content fillers getting away as fashions stories. The double-page layout for most of this story's selects really pushes the visual impact. This, along with the Chloe and Isabel Marant campaigns, are the only worthy imageries from this issue.

Flicking through the digital issue, I see there's an advance look in the Beauty section at the new Vuitton make-up line, £120 for a lipstick, if you're interested.

You can get a red pochette for your lipstick that's £350, which is much cheaper than anything from LV's standard range, but it's in epi (never been a fan of coated leathers like epi or saffiano, even if they're durable). There's a little Lipstick Trunk for £2,130.

Given how much hullabaloo there was over that AI Guess ad that Vogue didn't produce themselves, how long will it take people to realise that the OVER THE HORIZON edit is "a CGI road trip" that was "shot in a Paris studio". While not exactly AI, it's an adjacent form of artificiality, and has been produced by Vogue for its own pages.

But it'll probably take people ages to realise what's going on with this editorial, because they just gloss over everything, like wishing Grace Coddington had styled the US Vogue cover that was styled by Grace Coddington.

The "Over the Horizon" fashion editorial has not been posted on Vogue's instagram yet. I wonder what will the reactions be when it will and the caption mentions CGI. CGI is an interesting program but I want a beautiful landscape fashion editorial that was shot on location and not in a studio.

i thought I was the only one to notice that editorial was completely off feeling. Drew’s work is usually nice but he’s playing in a world technically speaking that feels out of his league ability wise so prob why it came off awkward and fake appearing more than it would with someone used to that type of shooting environment. In general it’s Malina’s styling for me that ruins the story for me the most. Everything she does feels really cheap and poorly done. I don’t get her appeal at all.

Carlins story on the other hand is wonderful.
