YES! I love everything, Meisel is back on the cover of US Vogue, Kaia giving us her best work in a long time, that Marc Jacobs collection, what a dream!

 

[BalkaniStaCouture]

Quite unexpected!

It’s not bad, it’s not WowZa either! It’s okay… I guess.

First cover is glorious

Not surprised to see a Marc Jacobs-edited issue feature Anna Weyant because the way he fangirls on her ig is a little much. I do loooove her work and might get this just to stare at it even though what makes her work interesting to me, besides the Old Masters calmness that comes from it, is that her muses exude liveliness and detachment from the nepo-baby/model/influencer beauty standards of skinniness and contouring to sharpen and add symmetry to facial features.. a doll-like model (if there's any model like that anymore) would've worked better than Kaia. But also why not just have Eileen Kelly in Marc Jacobs!

Should have been Queen Melania!!!

Nothing interesting photography wise. Marc's collection does the heavy lifting here. Kaia just exists. I would much rather see an editorial fully illustrated by Anna Weyant as her cover is beautiful.

I kind of agree about Kaia feeling at odds with her style. Tess McMillan is the current model that comes to mind as having a face for an Anna Weyant painting.

That said, I still haven’t been this happy about an issue of Vogue in years.

Great to see a cover by Meisel 🥹❤️

And thank goodness it's not a Pharrell or Beyonce special edition.

I have to say, this really caught me off guard. The art direction here is stunning. It’s definitely not your usual half-body cover shot. There’s a great mix of fashion, beauty and art. Vogue should definitely think outside the box more often with their covers. Plus, we’ve got Meisel back on Vogue! Overall, this issue is pretty solid. I’m excited to see what's inside 😊

Very fun and surprising!

US Vogue are absolutely terrible when it comes to minimal text layouts though. Their cover design the last few years ruins it for me almost every time. The ‘Kaia Gerber’ headline is just plonked there in that slightly thinner weight than the MJ text - it looks so sloppy to me. The mismatched line spacing is terrible too.

Lovely shoot though! And it’s exciting to see Meisel do a US Vogue cover again.

Its Fun, i like it

 

[Alquimista]

Very good execution but the names Marc Jacobs and Meisel does not excite me at all.

Also it feels like Anna is trying to "sell" Marc. Anna, honey, nobody wants that.

Kai's hand is averagely painted, if you want to check if a given artist can really paint, you analyze the hands and feet. Nice, but you can see some deficiencies in the technique, the chiaroscuro also falls strangely, but in today's world it's enough.

very light hearted - lovely!
