US Harper's Bazaar August 2012 : Rihanna by Camilla Akrans

[TheCheekyCritic]

You might be surprised at how often they simply aren't allowed to, especially with brands like Tom Ford. Sometimes having a stylist is entirely irrelevant - you can either shoot the brand's head to toe look, or not at all. It's a really negative thing that's arrived in the past few years and essentially what started these head-to-toe collections editorials we see so often.

I get so bored seeing a runway look rehashed in countless publications, simply because the brand isn't willing to allow stylists to do their job.

That's disappointing. And with such taste-specific, "in-your-face" type styling as with e.g. Rihanna's look here, you'd think a brand would want to widen the scope of their (prospective) clientele by showing the diversity of their product rather than limit their showcase to just one look, especially one so obviously(?) not likely to appeal to a large majority. Especially from a brand like Tom Ford, who doesn't exactly shy away from the "mainstream", I find this surprisingly poor thinking.

Love Anja's shoot

Love the sub cover, and her ed is pretty decent as well, well considering its for US HB. But wow, Karl honey you got many talents, photography aint one of them.

WTF is "All White Now"... It sounds so wrong
Posted via Mobile Device

I think it's supposed to be a play with words...like "Alright now", but All-White now to describe the clothes in the editorial, as blueorchid cleared up

The editorial is Camilla doing her usual Harper's Bazaar type of editorial-she is clearly type-casted for this kind of work for the magazine. I'm not interested in those kind of shoots because I'm bored to death by them, even if they are beautiful. Doesn't feel fresh the least bit..

Lagerfeld's editorial is probably the best thing I've seen him do in a long time. The models and clothes are exquisite. Even though I'm not a Rihanna fan, I think she looks amazing in her editorial, very pretty and classy.

I like the second cover way more than the first, she looks gorgeous in that white dress and i love her in the Balmain mini in the edit. And Anjas is pure high fashion glamour, love the McQueen shot

Got my issue today. It's the first issue in a long time that I've actually found all the editorials to be decent. None of them looked cheap at all! The magazine also seemed slightly less cluttered than usual too, which is always a good thing.

This issue is a snoozefest!
Rihanna is beautiful (nothing we didn't already know), but those images are incredibly boring.
the Karl Lagerfeld/Andrew Richardson story looks uninteresting and OLD. (why would they think anyone is interested in seeing those images AGAIN?)
Jay Massacret styled black and white story is the best thing in the issue, at least a bit a fashion there. Hearst, PLEASE find someone with some kind of creative vision to rescue this magazine!!! It could be sooo much more.
