Emilia looks more beautiful here than in her UK Vogue spread, with that said, I'm forcing myself to like it because it's lovely but there are things that I really dislike and can't seem to get over with:
a. the overall scheme looks like Anna's cover last month. The background, the text, the mood. It's sad to see something this beautiful rely on lazy. Putting the two covers side by side just scream 0 creativity. They knew last month was a hit and why not rely on lazy and safe and repeat that formula again?
b. the styling is too heavy for me. There's a detach between the softness of the background and the fullness of the styling. It's just too heavy for a cover. It's like they wanted her on a beach background to fit June and have her wear something heavy and dark for July. The feathers are suffocating me and that's not how fashion magazines should sell clothes.
As for the editorial and the subscribers' cover... one word - MESS. The cover seemed it had a potential for a beautiful spread and we have this. The shots are just beyond laughable. What a big joke. Her on that tree? Come on Glenda! And that horse, how fake could it get!? And for heaven's sake, you have the gorgeous Emilia and you don't even have her looking at the camera. Is this Bazaar Horse?
