Kendull

Why people called her Kendull? I’m intrigued

 

[Koibito]

^Cause she's the dullest model, at least to me.

Stunning the covers & editorial. Reminds me a vintage stories of this mag in the 80's.

Nothing good

 

[Rigida]

That Winnie Harlow ed is US Bazaar level bad

 

[Morgane07]

There isn't a lot that I like I must say. I find it dull overall, a disappointing March issue.

 

[GivenchyHomme]

Was Gigi tired or sick that day? I feel like she usually gives more energy than this. She can do better.

 

[Benn98]

Nina must've begged for a bigger budget because I don't think I've ever seen this much fashion content in post-digital Elle. And while I'll say good on her for getting it, I'm not sure her and Gan are putting it to great use. They're going for quantity over quality. Despite the up-to-date model and photographer casting, some of these edits just don't work. It's just a bunch of soulless, generic 'fashion' stories. There's no fun, spirit or quirk in what I'm seeing here. Winnie's edit should never have seen the light of day. That said, I do like Life in the Fast Lane because it's giving me glam Kylie Minogue in Can't Get You Out of My Head, and some of Gigi's shots.

Naturally with this much fashion content, you can only imagine the written variety to be trimmed tremendously. There's almost nothing to read in this issue. Maybe it was just for the big fashion month, but we are in an era where everyone is striving for sustainability. A bunch of glossy pictures won't satisfy an audience which in this case have been conditioned to expect substance above all else.

Time for me to start completing my collection of Robbie Meyers-era Elle.

The lack of decent written content is what I don't like about the current US Elle. As much as I applaud the covers, if the pages that follow are devoid of content, then it's not worth the purchase. Not when I can remember what the articles used to be like - some of the most considered and honest takes on modern relationships that you could find in a popular women's magazine.

 

[Rigida]

Agreed with the sentiments above, other than more eye-catching covers and slightly better editorials, i don't get the praise for Nina's ELLE.
