Anna please go away and take all these stupid **** with u. This magazine looks like trash. OMG!!
 
This must be one of the dullest and ugliest issues they produced. And we all know what sort of garbage has been going on lately at Vogue..
 
I only like Raquel's ed.
I hate the cover, i hate all the others eds. It is weird that after quite some time modelling now, Gigi and Kendall are still doing that "i'm trying to look like a model" pout. It is annoying.
 
Maybe I’m just tired of superduper-serious, art-school student pretentious, dour, gormless expressions and forced poses that’s being hailed as some new wave that’s infested so many other publications, but this particular issue is actually refreshing with an effortless glow (and I don’t mean just the saturated color-correction of the images).

And I don’t mean it’s anything visionary nor the brand of high fashion that I find inspiring— just that besides Daisy looking so gorgeous despite wearing such an ugly dress for the cover, that brand of commercial, energizing, smiling faces that’s so typical of classic, cheerleading Americana simply works in this instance. I even like the Raquel edit with the seamless set against the cooly, weekend-at-the-lakeside-cottage backdrop: Sure, it shouldn’t work since that beautiful lake is obscured by the seamless— but it works here in a playful fashion...

There’s a lightness, joy and this unity of people that simply flows. It all still looks like a high-end department store catalogue in the end… just better. Good enough for American Vogue to stand out as refreshing this time.
 
There are actually more edits than in the last few issues so its a plus. I just don't understand why the editorials must be so busy with some many models, socialites, actors, etc..."Show of strength" could have been better executed with just Karlie, Taylor, Grace and a couple of male models. Kendall edit should have been only her, maybe with Vitto... no need for those socialites... I do like the main editorial with Daisy... definitely my fave from this issue.
 
I think that all these multi people edits is Vogue's Instagram strategy. Try to get as many followers as possible by getting tagged by as many influencers as possible every issue.
 
The editorials are all sub-par. The only one which is interesting is Raquel's but even that one could be better.
 
All of these editorial concepts are so tired. We've seen them all before (and done better).
 
I don't know how anyone would like any of this, "Fine Artistry" is the only thing saving this issue from being utter crap which is actually surprising since their latest issues were a ray of light after years of banality and boredom. Was "Top of the rocks" actually shot in Paris? Monumental waste of budget if that's the case. Sorry but these Instagirls have lost any hype they used to have and this issue looks like crap because of them.

P.D: Did they really need to have Karlie, Kendall and Gigi eating for their respective shoots...they do that well enough on their social media.
