It may have been said in this thread, but im not gonna read through all 7 pages to find it.

I sense that Marc is being primed and prepped to take the helm when Anna retires. Which would be appropriate but also very fun, refreshing and another notch on Marc's iconic belt. I love this issue, the cover and all the choices made. Excellent.

The future of American Vogue is Marc's for the taking, if you ask me.
And if you didn't ask me? Too bad, Im telling y'all anyway.

It'll be written into his contract that he'll have to wave his talons over a crystal ball every afternoon, and continue to take his directions from the other side like a good boy.

While better than the previous issues, it's still mediocre at best.
I&V ed is just awful. I will never get their phenomenon. Back in the day they managed to produce something good once in a blue moon, especially in 90's but now they churn out some of the laziest and tackiest work out there.
Carlijn's photography is too digital looking for my liking. I only tolerate her when she is ripping off Guy Bourdin.

honestly rotating creatives serving as EIC would be amazing, i'd love to see meisel as EIC, the rodarte sisters, grace coddington, the opening ceremony duo, the proenza duo-- there's a lot there i think, A magazine does this, but of course, on a commercial Vogue level it's a different world

I do not see it coming, especially, after reading Jacobs' response regarding his role in a recent interview with the fashion critic Vanessa Friedman of The New York Times:

"FRIEDMAN: Marc, did you ever think, Why did I say yes to this? Or did it make you want to start your own magazine?

JACOBS: This was a really nice little guest appearance, but it’s not something I want to do twice. I really love my job. I’m not a frustrated actor or architect. And this way I have two firsts. There’ll never be another first designer at Louis Vuitton, and there’ll never be another first guest editor who’s a designer at American Vogue.

FRIEDMAN: Anna, does this mean you are considering handing over the magazine on a more permanent basis?

WINTOUR: No. Absolutely not. I’m like Marc. I love my job. I love all aspects of it and hope to be able to do it for a long time to come."

So far, only Grace and Tonne’s eds feels timeless. The photography and styling feels very much relevant.
I’m really not sold on the beauty ed and the dance story. The dance story is so cliché in it styling. I think I&V did a better job with Emmanuelle when they did the Couture in the club thing.
When the only thing you find relevant to portray hip-hop is to style models as b-boys from the 80’s, you know that there’s a lack of imagination.

It could have been more interesting to do à contre-emploi for once…

Marc brought back Meisel? He should have brought back Carlyne too.
