The dress in the fourth pic is awful .
Well the others looks are not my cup of tea either.

 

[MON]

Her focus is elsewhere, certainly not at this magazine.

Her main focus is how to steal Project Runway from Karlie. She’s always the bridesmaid never the bride in terms of that show.

Sooooo TRASHY my gosh, I have seen awful editorials and covers in my lifetime but this one takes the cake for 2020 already ! Damn it looks bad, wow ! Who is the freakin' stylist for this??? And the cover??? It looks sooooo obnoxious and CHEAP.

Imaan is clearly the highlight in this issue, and that opening shot belongs on the cover instead of what we got. Also like Max Papendieck trying to be Chris Colls (I mean, Ella's first shot is a straight replica.) Overall, I actually wish Nina commissioned another romantic Cole Sprouse landscape edit, it would at least have lightened the content up.

I can’t wait to see what Alex will do with this magazine.
And I really want to see her work with Cole.

Can anyone post the masthead? She’s already there?

Really...??? Even a solid model can’t salvage the most soulless and deathly-blandest photographer out there. And if that titanic streak of mediocrity isn’t enough— there's Zoey Grossman and Max Papendieck to secure that brand of forgettable, royalty-free stock imagery alongside Chris. And that Cole person needs to get in on the cesspool of mediocrity. God I mess Giles Bensimon’s ELLE.

Can’t even be bothered to waste a minute to download this blandness.

LOL. Well, you can head over to the Elle Worldwide thread to see what Bensimon is up to lately. Will warn you though, you're in for a rude awakening. There's a reason why he works for magazines weekly like Italian Elle. He has never been able to recreate his success at US Elle. There, I said it.

 

[caioherrero]

I think that Alex didn’t work in this issue , even with her name in the masthead. All this was photographed before she was announced as fashion director

Oh dear... Let me rephrase that to God, I miss 80s-90s Bensimon ELLE...

 

[Avonlea]

Charles Varenne should get his eyes checked. Awful styling.

Imaan Hammam by Chris Colls for the alternative cover:

 

[bluestar]

Imaan as the cover... Gorgeous!

 

[SLFC]

Its a total crime that Iman wasn't the main editorial instead. Like it just seems like US publications have something against using actual fashion models for their FASHION publications.

However I dont really get the comment about how Zoey is bland. She's not, she takes good photos even with this bland shoot she prevented it from being worse. Not sure what the beef is.
