Did our usual reviewer/s jump off a cliff after looking through the issue?
I think it altogether likely! The November issue is still on our newsstands, and I will not be getting that issue. I shall wait for this one instead, despite the atrocious features.

So disappointed in Grace's work here. I can't even pretend to like what she's done or that Caroline looks good. Uninspiring and boring is all I can think of to describe this edit.
Jennifer is not a fashionista, and that cover is dull. Kendall is nothing without the hair and make up team. American vogue needs a make over
Personally I would put karlie kloss on the cover, not another bland celeb

It's been easily 5 years since I last bought US Vogue, and I found this issue yesterday on the floor, so I took it (gross but hey...). There's a nice article on gun control, and on gardening but didn't really read that one ...
I don't pay much attention to model fanaticism anymore, or passionate aversion towards a certain model.. they're just models, but I have to say, it's been over 10 years since I saw Caroline Trentini in US Vogue for the first time (that story with the frizzy hair and tweed looks), and I remember thinking at the time that she looked like a poor man's Lily Cole, maybe the insipid lovechild of both Lily and Heather Marks (both in high demand at the time), and the trend would pass and so would that girl, whose expressions looked more annoying than just nothing. Well... it's been years and it's beyond me this insistance on putting her to lead some otherwise fantastic productions. I feel like whoever keeps casting her got it wrong the first time and knew it but was too proud to admit it so they stick with her knowing at least the years will validate this collaboration... like a marriage that's sucked from day one. Jamie is one of the few photographers whose constant delivery of new ideas justifies all the hype and sadly, the editorial with Caroline in this issue proves that models are not that replaceable after all and can make a huge difference, you can't always tell when she's superb because you can't even imagine the story with anyone else but you can tell when the model is bad because the moment you see each picture, you start fantasizing on that same image with someone better... and man she's terrible, and she's been terrible for 10 years!... I'm guessing 10 years at David Sims for Vogue academy will do that... same silly posing, odious overly calculated expressions that only respond to instructions... the lighting, scenery and clothes are all working, and she's positively ruining it... it made me want to get the latest Cereal and detox from models altogether.

^True, because that is what US Vogue is. They should rename it Entertainment Monthly.
This magazine is just dead. I wonder why on Earth someone would buy it.
EDIT: Anna Wintour is too old for this. She should retire, play tennis in the morning and go to have a tea with her friends. And I don't mean phisically old; her brain is too stale and out of touch for a position like this. But she enjoys the fame and the power, so she will never leave.

I actually don't know what's going on with US Vogue for 2015. They were still trying a bit in 2014, and 2015 just no. There were so many inexcusable editorials this year and beyond questionable cover choices.
And wow, US Vogue with only 9 pages of discussion? Kendall is a curse to this magazine. Ever since she was introduced here, the magazine got staler. It's like they lowered the quality of the magazine to make Kendall's work look superior.

Well actually as a cover it would have been groundbreaking, but this isn´t US Vogue style though. But I personally loved that cover but this pic is very nice.
