US Vogue April 2023 : Cara Delevingne by Annie Leibovitz

[fangora]

The level of content we're now reduced to seems to hit a new low, month after month, with every passing issue. Multiple editions of Vogue have ultimately lost their identity as a result of the recycled fashion content and I have lost a great deal of enthusiasm for the Vogues I once adored.

Yeah, i totally agree.
A few years ago, standing in front of the shelf in store, I couldn't decide which Vogue to buy? UK? Paris? Italia? Each one was unique and fantastic. These days it's the same sh.. on every single page. And it's getting low and lower month by month.

It's not even quirky or Juergen Teller-esque, it's just the nastiest, ugliest, most vile and disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life - repeated every single time I've seen the work of Nigel Shafran. I really can not fathom why that man has a career. He should be in jail for his crimes against humanity, cause I feel assaulted by his incessant trash. His work appearing in Vogue has the effect of a jumpscare on me.

LOL He’s Nickelodeon attempting to do Juergen. Nuances be damned.

If he made the effort for strong, creative compositions/angles; rich color-palette; understanding of skilled lighting, instead of these always flat-lighting and flat straight-camera angles that all resemble a first draft storyboard, where the gimmick is the only POV, then he may actually show a creative evolution…

But he simply marinates in this very budget-Dali with that DIY rushed, sloppiness of a 5th-grade play production, on repeat. Although, I’ll gladly take him to the creatively-incompetent generic offerings of Addy Campbell/Nadine Ijewere/Zoey Grossman etc

Cara's ed it's pretty decent and belongs to the (still) good days of Vogue before the 2010s decade. I'm surprised by Ben Platt. He gets more handsome by time.

So they shared the content with Italian Vogue? That’s a new low miss Wintour.

Shared editorials have been happening for a couple of years now across Vogue editions. You’re right, it’s a low - just not a new low.
