The first cover is a lesson in efficiency. Minimum waste, maximum joy, as Sade puts it. On a side note, I love how real her skin looks both on this cover and the close-up in the editorial. Against an industry determined to turn it into cheap plastic, human skin is the most luxurious fabric ever created.
As for the second cover, whoever gave it the green light deserves to accidentally throw their Prada sweater in the tumble dryer.
