JESUS… Samira is making history! She is the first and only EIC that all her covers WERE TERRIBLE, no other has achieved this. Her name will be in the Guinness Book!

 

[mepps]

The perks of being Beyoncé's sister.

 

[Ivancica]

Oh - they could've done so much better having her.

 

[KoV]

I like Solange, but this photo is so dreary and amateurish!

 

[WAVES]

the styling is abysmal but I do like the rest.

btw, when will Samira be gone?

 

[thiago:)]

I love Solange so much! I don't mind the covershot, just wish it was a bit more zoomed in.

I asked once and I Will ask here again: is there any thread about Samira style / stylist days Back when she used to work at Vanity Fair or anywhere else? Because its really necessary to have a special place where All her work is put side by side. Why this woman have this particular eye for images? Why everything feels so flat EVERY SINGLE ISSUE? I really want and need to see Samira work early HB. Please helppppppp

Samira doesn’t know how to pick a cover to save her life

It is not a bad cover. There are elements that I do like (the Prada outfit for example) but it does not pop or have the wow factor that I look for. It might be too dark.

I feel like some issues of Samira's Bazaar are soooooooo close to looking good, but everything ultimately flops. I was surprised by how the Feb cover with Gisele doesn't pop on the newsstand like I thought it might (but I bought the W Performance issue, so there's no accounting for taste).

Solange (and Gisele before) looks less miserable than most of the previous cover stars Bazaar has had... so something is moderately improving. I don't hate the cover. I feel like Bazaar (foreign editions included, except UK) are constantly trying to re-create the magic in the bottle that was Liz+Fabien, when ugh... they'll never be able to.

How is the current team at US Harper's Bazaar trying to recreate the magic in the bottle that was Liz and Fabien? I really don't see it, especially by the graphic design. I think they are creating a magazine that is completely different in it's look and feel.

This magazine is so expensive in Italy....21 euros??? i wanted the Gisele issue but i changed my mind.

 

[oaklee91]

It’s not THAT bad.

 

[Handbag Queen]
