Gorgeous issue!


.. very classic, conservative, but done right.. this is the kind of stuff American Vogue excels at.
And how crazy it is to see Ivan de Pineda again?!.. that sold me on Kate's story up to a 70%, the rest I'm still indifferent to, it's basically a celebrity story, she
is a celebrity model, I mean it's pointless to get on debates of what the right credentials to be considered a model are, she has a fantastic body, is 'kind of' about selling sex, and that's great, not the first one nor last one, everyone goes after the outlets they like presenting themselves in, but after seeing the story, it's obvious she lacks a bit of the drama an actress or singer can project when dumped into a story usually done by models and lacks the basic versatility of most models.. so.. I insist, she could be anyone, and lucky for the art director, it's mostly about it, you don't get captured by a pair of eyes or smile or energy or anything, so it's easier to appreciate the production.
In our time is mostly the reason I'll get this.. no one captures the spirit of summer like Bruce.. and he works so well with Dree. Also loved the concept of Lindbergh's story.. too bad that girl's also a terrible model. She isn't much more than a fringe is she?
Thanks for all the work,
Mat!
